Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
-The graphics made me wonder how I ever put so much time into Slay the Spire, I boot it up recently to compare the games and never realized how mediocre the StS graphics are, if the game is fun who cares, but if it's an improved version of the same game with better graphics whats not to like.

Controls

It's clean, doesn't get in the way, provides all required info, and mostly plays nice withthe newly implemented controller support, but there's a bit of room for improvement on that front.
