The two biggest complaints in the review seem pretty avoidable to me. The first is that they exploited a bug in combat and then were mad when that broke a quest.

Second is that they said that scaling was odd, with one computer (thickly entrenched 40k nerds are already mad with the use of the word computer instead of cogitator) in an area was an easy skill check to use and one in the adjacent area was difficult to use. That doesn’t seem like a red flag to me, or at least, it doesn’t seem like that in isolation.

So my take away is that some things will be mathematically harder than other things, and don’t purposefully exploit bugs. I don’t think this review has deterred me from buying.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

I’d call Rock Slide a buff, probably. It’s more correct to say it’s a change or a rework, but it’s not totally a nerf. Rock Slide used to cost 3 when you had Zabu, but Marvel Snap is built to not let you count on having “the card” in your deck every game. Certainly not a turn 2 Zabu every game. Rock Slide on 3 into Dark hawk on 4 is more consistent than ever. I’d call that a positive change for the deck. Some might start dropping Zabu. Probably not, but some might try it.

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.

It’s faithful enough to 5e that my partner and I broke out the players handbook to do some long term class planning together. A couple of things are different, like buffs to frenzy barbarian and changes to roleplay feats or spells to have a more mechanical benefit.

But yes, as a long term DM for 5e, it’s faithful to 5e.

They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They’re not progressing humanity, they’re making a great fiscal quarter.

Cassette beasts is on my to play list starting soon!

I want to say I’ve read an interview that he doesn’t stop updates because he doesn’t run out of ideas and the sales haven’t stopped yet. Or maybe that was Terraria. Two similarly dedicated devs.
