Generally, the value of Slay the Spire is impressive. With a fourth character currently in Beta - at no charge - and plenty of well-balanced items and cards in the game, there's enough variety to keep things exciting without bloating the game like some other games tend to do (looking at you, Isaac!).

Instead of adding too many cards to the pool, StS has just enough for each character to offer various viable builds, without having any obviously bad cards in the game. Situational ones do exist, and some won't synergize with your current run at all, but outright bad? Nope. As such, it is easy to appreciate the developers' work here.
If you have any interest in card game adventures, figuring out how to best approach tricky fights with the cards you are dealt, then this game is clearly something you should consider.

Even without any real desire to beat the game's rising difficulty Ascensions on each character, I find myself coming back to Slay the Spire even after 70 hours. It's quick, engaging and the daily mode alone offers a nice challenge on the regular.

If, down the line, the developers decide to create a proper, full expansion to the game, with new environments, enemies, potentially mechanics or even alternative routes through the Spire, I'll be sure to open my wallet for it.
