No spoilers, just praise and thoughts
Daniel Mullins is a game creator at some kind of a peak. and i thought he gave enough when he made Pony Island, a game that everybody should play. I finished it for the first time and i have seen some kind of an ending. But with a Mullins game I am never really sure, if I did finish it. Or maybe I just got sample of the first act and only on NG+4 will I get the real real ending. It's both scary and great. To which i I say, just forget your instincts, and touch the new option that has just opened up. Let the creator take you on a journey like no other. Through the medium and as meta as you can get. Pony Island was a perfect game. For me it was. The Hex jumped around so much that it wore me down. And now we have Inscryption and we will try to talk about it in 5 years and we will still be pretty clueless. Because the mind of a Mullins will break you and bend you and you will think about these games when you really think about the power of video games and the medium's possibilities. I was a fan. But after 4 hours i was unbiased and tired of building my deck. A wall. No progression. But then i learned to exploit it (with the cards i had created after every defeat). BEAR, 1 blood, 7 and 7. And this would have been a great card game. But i don't think he understands simple or straightforward. Or anything less than experimental. Always risking to tell a bigger story. And we will be talking about these games and Daniel Mullins with the greatest reverence because he is actually trying to do something special. And he is succeeding. A great artist who is trying to make his piece. You will not be disappointed in Inscryption. But your brain may hurt and you will see the same themes repeating. And still it deserves both the praise and the hype (a big thank you to Sterling for reviewing Pony Island and giving it some much needed attention). Sacrifices: you will learn it at first, you will learn to exploit them, but then in the end it will not matter because the game is ... itself.
