▲ 98 ▼ What descriptors instantly kill your desire to play a game? (hexbear.net) submitted 2 years ago by dannoffs@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net 133 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.

Boy was I wrong. The mini game was simple enough to learn and not that hard to master. Gwent stand-alone is just too complex to have some simple fun with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 1 point 2 years ago Should have done like me and literally refused to play a game of Gwent to save a dude's life Like sorry bro that sucks and all but I'm just going to kill all of these people permalink fedilink source parent
