Black Book - PC Game Review

 Black Book is another RPG with a card game. These are obviously popular now. The art is quite distinctive, and the subject matter too - you are a "witch" (it is actually russian folklore, so unless you are russian, you probably won't recognize their names for things) in training, and the equivalent of the traditional paths is you going to tasks. The first is dealing with a demon, in a card battle, of course. I really like the art, and the gameplay is overall very good, and seems not to have too many complicated mechanics. There are some small segments that remind me of 90s Sierra adventure games (when they started getting isometric 3D), but while a bit silly they are short.

Nowhere Prophet - PC Game Review

 Nowhere Prophet is a card game, which naturally reminds me of Slay the Spire (that being my favorite in the genre). You travel with a convoy (your followers and powers are cards) in a randomly generated map, in an SF like dystopic, messed up world. There is also equipment, cargo, weapons you can buy, force fields, etc. It seems interesting in many ways, but very, very complicated - which over time I have less and less patience for... Nice graphics, sound and ok music. Tutorial is ok.
