I've been playing Slay the Spire 2 and I've been really enjoying it.

The new characters, Regent and Necrobinder, have really interesting play styles. Overall, it's proving to be a great sequel to an already great game.

Osty is a good being, and deserves much health.

I’m not the biggest fan of the Regent, but overall am enjoying the game a lot. All the additions to the original characters are solid as well, love the sly mechanic. Dig the new enemies.

Regent pisses me off lol. All the others I got solid strategies with but regent is still a PITA

The secondary energy seems out of whack. Too hard to generate which immediately switches to OP if you get one of a few things that solve the generation issue.

Yeah, I run into basically one of three issues with Regent:

I have a deck that can do good damage and accrue stars, but getting destroyed without any block
I have a deck with lots of block and stars, but do barely any damage so it's a race against enemies strengthening themselves.
Card rewards flip flop between forge and stars, so can't build a consistent deck for Act I boss

I can't tell if I'm just playing him bad or getting bad luck, but he's the one I've struggled with the most.

I think a lack of synergy between stars and forge is part of what leads to that. With sovereign blade costing 2 (or 3 with the double hit power) it doesn’t play well with having to spend energy gaining stars as well.

I'm really enjoying it too. I feel like they really refined a lot of the existing mechanics... it's so much more clear to me know what the original envisioning of some mechanics were.

I feel like they saw how the game ended up being played, and went back to the drawing board.
