When Slay the Spire 2 launched, it quickly became a hit. Players loved the wealth of content, well-tuned gameplay, new characters, and features like the four-player co-op mode. Its improved art style also attracted a lot of attention. The game quickly broke records, becoming the most played roguelite on Steam with over 57,000 concurrent players – surpassing even popular titles like Mewgenics and Hades 2.

As a huge Pokémon fan, I’ve always noticed how each new game really shows off what Nintendo’s consoles can do. From using the DS’s touchscreen to connecting with friends on the old Game Boy using the Link Cable, and even trying to push the Switch with those big open areas, Pokémon games always feel like they’re meant to be the games those consoles are remembered for!
