For me, if I ever hear “card-based” or “soulslike” I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I’m also not a huge fan of modern “roguelikes” but I’ve sunk days into nethack and games like that.

      When I first played Witcher 3 I was like “why the fuck would I play a card game in this vibrant, immersive, story-rich action-adventure game?” and then somewhere along the lines I got to the point where I was running around the whole game world ready to suck dick for Gwent cards. I have no idea how they got me, but Gwent is easily the best game-within-a-game I’ve ever played.
