I bought Monster Train recently, as I heard it's a very good quality Slay the Spire clone, and StS is one of my all-time favourite games. Here's my experience with the game so far:
- first run every, made it all the way to the final boss
- run 2, beat the game, unlocked ascension 1 (the game has an ascension system identical to StS)
- run 3 (A1), made it to the final boss
- run 4 (A1), beat the game, unlocked A2
- run 5 (A2), beat the game, unlocked A3
This made me realise how important the high difficulty is for roguelikes. Don't get me wrong, the game is a lot of fun, but I can't help but feel like it's lacking in content due to having seen it all on my very first run ever.
This is obv due to countless hours I spent playing StS, plus I haven't even unlocked all the factions yet, but still - big part of the fun early into a roguelike is discovering what the game has to offer, and seeing its entire scope right away just feels disappointing. Plus, winning the game just doesn't feel like an accomplishment that way, I think it took me around 15 hrs to get my first win in StS
That being said, if you liked the concept of StS but felt the game was too hard, Monster Train should be perfect for you, the core gameplay is definitely very fun and engaging.
Have it on Gamecube and played it once. Should play it again sometime for sure.
Gamecube is so underrated. Games like that, Geist, Timesplitters, Beyond Good and Evil. Gamecube last Nintendo console that could match Sony and Microsoft on tech.

Hell, Eternal Darkness is probably near the top of the list of best games to never have a sequel
Just like this game is never brought up. Never played any of the Red Dead games, but this has to be similar quality as Revolver, right? Beaten it twice on Gamecube, enjoyed it each time.
Bought skyrim on steam like 4 years ago finally playing it and it's damn fun, fallout meets the witcher, I have no clue what the main storyline even is I just do tons of random stuff.
I have a fully modded Skyrim (Fallout 4 as well) install that I haven't played since last summer. Lately I've been getting the urge to go back to it.
I used https://www.sinitargaming.com/skyrim_se.html to mod my game and I see it has been updated to 2.0 since I last played. Almost makes me want to scrap my install and start from scratch.
I don't know why it's showing the Mac only Icon, and I can't remember if that was a thing when I bought it earlier - but I def bought it, redeemed the key as normal and installed on PC. I'm not even sure Steam can have keys that only grant entitlement on one of the supported platforms?
Edit: It looks like the Steam page only shows Windows support, so maybe they've just got the icon wrong?
Also, if you buy a mac game that redeems on steam, you get all versions anyway, if they exist. It's an old trick because games like Civ have different publishers for different platforms, so they technically can't sell the other-platform version, but they still activate just fine.
