Klei does it again.

Take some slay the spire style deck building, and a futuristic RPG and then shake them up well and you come out with Griftlands. The increasing difficulty of the game feels very natural as your decisions make you enemies or allies throughout your playthrough which come with their own buffs or debuffs. The inclusion of the negotiation deck is a fantastic shift and forces you to think carefully about your play style. Do you try to negotiate a bargain on a purchase now, or save your resolve for a potentially later time when you might need it more?

Everything is well designed and any mechanics are shown when you mouse over them, leading to a non intrusive way to learn what various mechanics and lore items are.

I mean, at this point, is there anything Klei doesn't do well? If you like deck builders and RPGs this is an easy buy.
