Inscryption Review

Inscryption reviewed by Tom Marks on PC.

This horror-themed card game might look like a Slay the Spire-style roguelike at first glance, but as with the developer Daniel Mullins Games' Pony Island, there's a lot more than to it than meets the eye.

This was genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. If you like card games you're in for a treat honestly.

An advice: DO NOT drop the game in the "second part", the game truly changes, but gets back to "normal" after it.

Tip: When you think the game is over...it is not

Inscription is just awesome. It has an insane amount of twists and creative ideas. Even some boss fights are more creative than entire games. The amount of ways the game changes things up is astonishing.

Just give it a 10 already, also not mentioned in the review is the amazing art design of the pixel rendered graphics and the amazing sound design

[Confuzledish]

The game also has a ton of replay value as well. Alternate decisions to make, new secrets to find, etc. Not to mention there was a massive ARG tied in with the game's deepest mystery. Fantastic in every field possible. Get it.

Finding amazing combinations was so cool, beat Act 1 with squirrels that constantly returned to my hand upon death or sacrifice.

IGN actually making a decent review? Damn, this game really brings out the best in people.

Some people didn't fancy the second and third act but for me, as a fan of video game in general, it's really interesting to see how Daniel Mullins were able to integrate different kind of style and incorporate them into the story.

This was honestly the best way to do a review of this game

[petrdavidlanca]

you should just give it 11/10 because this game is just perfect

[stank]

Legitimately one of the best puzzle / strategy games I've ever played. Not just because of the really great card mechanics but also the dynamic flow of gameplay with story and puzzle elements is just amazing. Top that with the great, ominous theming and you have an amazing game.

Ah, a Tom Marks review, an oasis amidst the desert of quality that is contemporary games press critique.

[guythomas]

We need console and mobile versions of this ASAP!!!!

[bioarv]

Ohhh it's made by the Pony Island Dev. So expect the unexpected

[MichaelFromTheAttic]

This is Top 3 of the year for me. What a wild ride!

[dominokos]

This might very well be my absolute favorite roguelike ever. This is an amazing achievement in gaming. True innovation and creativity.

[DesolateLavender]

This game certainly takes some risks, and for the better.
Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a long time. Daniel Mullins never misses.

[RawrenceLock]

Yet another fantastic review from the IGN team. Tom Marks, Luke Reilly, Mitchell Saltzman (just to name a few) are top of their class!

0:23 The problem with the lying premise, is that you get into the game because you LIKE the premise you've been lied to ABOUT!
