Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I have only fully played through the Path of the Giant as of this review, and while I attempted to do Path of the Ferryman, it was bizzarely punishing right off the bat, and I ended up deciding not to continue, as I had quite a good amount of gameplay to feel like I got my money's worth of content already.

Cute, unique visuals, interesting and refreshing card game concepts, but more about that in the next part of the review.
