- Inscryption reviewed by Tom Marks on PC.
This horror-themed card game might look like a Slay the Spire-style roguelike at first glance, but as with the developer Daniel Mullins Games' Pony Island, there's a lot more than to it than meets the eye.

This was genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. If you like card games you're in for a treat honestly.
Funnily enough I've seen quite a lot of people complain that they went in expecting a full roguelike card game and hate the "bait and switch" that was expected from a Mullins game.
@@OriginalRAB that's the best part in my opinion. The story is woven so well, in your face and not at the same time. People getting mad there is more game is ridiculous
@@brandonbeglin2379 yes, ridiculous.
Yet, we all Want dls Where you can see the other two in the role of game master.
Cant agree more. Inscryption is one of the best games Ive ever laid my hands on.
If it was irl it will be even more famous
An advice: DO NOT drop the game in the "second part", the game truly changes, but gets back to "normal" after it.
The second part is fun to play as well anyways.
Nice pfp edit
The second part was so boring
It doesnt go back to normal tho,
@@mortorbort2968 he is talking about the eerie part
Tip: When you think the game is over...it is not
and when you think there is actually more, it's over.
@@wafferu1926 Pain (Although a lot of people think the ARG ending may mean that the other scrybes are coming as dlc)
@@wafferu1926 Painfully true LMAOO
This game would be amazing in VR
AGREED
omg that would be perfection
ong it would be one of the best games to put into vr
Yes, also get a mobile version
@@CHRISTOPHERBAKEWELL im afraid it cant go mobile cus a lot of factors related with the game arg
Inscription is just awesome. It has an insane amount of twists and creative ideas. Even some boss fights are more creative than entire games. The amount of ways the game changes things up is astonishing.
Just give it a 10 already, also not mentioned in the review is the amazing art design of the pixel rendered graphics and the amazing sound design
Yeah he didn't say a single negative thing wtf
The game also has a ton of replay value as well. Alternate decisions to make, new secrets to find, etc. Not to mention there was a massive ARG tied in with the game's deepest mystery. Fantastic in every field possible. Get it.
That is not even mentioning that when the game is loading and the command line is going. If you constantly press control + c you can type as if in a command line. Ive never seen that till Jesse Cox did that and makes me wonder what people are going to find in there!
Finding amazing combinations was so cool, beat Act 1 with squirrels that constantly returned to my hand upon death or sacrifice.
On top of that, finding things around the room that buffes your gameplay was awesome, like unlocking greater smokes and turning squirrels into bees.
undying squirrels
Had card counting on my first squirrel totem. The game was too easy if you get to choose a card then ever placing a squirrel, just zero challenge
IGN actually making a decent review? Damn, this game really brings out the best in people.
Nice
Why bother leaving a comment like that? If you don't like IGN, just don't watch?
This was honestly the best way to do a review of this game
Some people didn't fancy the second and third act but for me, as a fan of video game in general, it's really interesting to see how Daniel Mullins were able to integrate different kind of style and incorporate them into the story.
you should just give it 11/10 because this game is just perfect
No.
We should give YOU 11/10 because you're just perfect.
@@mrEbraheem corny but true
We need console and mobile versions of this ASAP!!!!
@@guythomas2833 you got it bro
Ah, a Tom Marks review, an oasis amidst the desert of quality that is contemporary games press critique.
This is Top 3 of the year for me. What a wild ride!
what are your other 2?
@@LinasW Resident Evil Village and Returnal! Three very different games haha!
This game is revolutionary
By no means is this revolutionary
@@smellypatel5272 agreed
@@smellypatel5272 Its gameplay isn't revolutionary, but I'd argue the presentation and some aspects of its design are.
@@captainjobber3284 the presentation is cool but everything beyond that is nothing to praise
@@smellypatel5272 you haven’t played it have you, Im 90% sure you watched a couple of reviews and made a decision off that. Not a bad thing but this is game of the year imo and of most who have actually played it.
Legitimately one of the best puzzle / strategy games I've ever played. Not just because of the really great card mechanics but also the dynamic flow of gameplay with story and puzzle elements is just amazing. Top that with the great, ominous theming and you have an amazing game.
Ohhh it's made by the Pony Island Dev. So expect the unexpected
This game certainly takes some risks, and for the better.
Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a long time. Daniel Mullins never misses.
Top tier game easily, never a bad game in any way even if act 2 is kinda lacking
This might very well be my absolute favorite roguelike ever. This is an amazing achievement in gaming. True innovation and creativity.
Not a roguelike
@@SeekNeo it technically is a rogue like. It sends you back to the start when you die.
Although, the progress you make in the cabin and the death cards does stay, so it’s a ‘soft’ roguelike.
what about act 2?
Nothing close to a rougelike if considering the whole game
The sound design is just amazing, perfection
Yet another fantastic review from the IGN team. Tom Marks, Luke Reilly, Mitchell Saltzman (just to name a few) are top of their class!
one of the best games I've played this decade
->skips review
->says that they gave the game a 9
->likes the video
->actually rewatches it
IGN,
We need more Tom Marks reviews ...
Ouroboros: The most powerful card in the game.
Such a broken card 🤣
It can go up to a thousand.
0:23 The problem with the lying premise, is that you get into the game because you LIKE the premise you've been lied to ABOUT!
I've been browing indie games on gamepass that I just didn't want to pay for and possibly return after a few hours. I'm not quite a fan unless it's super up my alley and fun. However, this is an absolute gem and got addicted
Had a lot of fun playing this game. If you are a roguelike fan who likes plots with twists and turns this is the game for you!
Highly recommended, guys. It's great.
The developer of Inscryption knew that most people bored of Cards Games, traditional or online
As a note there is a mod in development that males it an infinite rouglike.
Experienced it on the PS5. Dog have mercy! what a uniquely great game 🤯.
Awesome job Devolver!
They Gave It 9 Out Of 10 😃
Started playing last night and I haven't been this quickly hooked since Skyrim.
The fact that The Cabin is only Act 1 of this game and the other Acts are nothing like the 1st is amazing, while still using the same mechanics you sre used too.
10/10
ok but the cabin was the best by far
Inscryption 10 de 10
Game of the year
More reviews like this and less like the SMT5 one please.
smt v's review is such a mess, kinda feels like an intentionally bad review, a meme
It has a little something for everyone.
Jokes aside tho, the game is amazing, and I'm saying that from just seeing Markplier finishing it and not playing it myself.
I'm surprise this review doesn't reveal: "Oh hey there's also an ongoing ARG tied to the game"
Wish this was on console. Any of the 3 consoles would do
It might eventually, but it being a PC game is kind of tied into the story itself.
It comes out tonight at midnight for console. ;)
Thank you for the clear, concise, informative Review! I'm sold....
I’m really bad at this game and have never gotten past the trapper boss fight but this is still a great game.
did ya need to jump scare me with loud volume mic in the first seconds?
This review should really warn people that the game completely ditches the entire game for a whole new one about a fourth of the way through...
The second part is just painful
The second part slowed down a bit, but it became a collectable card game. Trying to collect them all was a short bit of fun
Dropped this game after act 1 few months back. Guess I will start off again
A lot of people will get burned by this game because of reviews like this. What the reviewer doesn't tell you is that only about 30% of the game is actually what is seen in this review. The rest of the game looks and plays completely differently.
It plays differently, but keeps the same mechanics and is fun throughout its entirety.
@@taoboyce6412 It keeps them, but completely floods it up with new ones while unnecesarily nerfing the previous ones that worked
Will this game be one day be available on other platforms?
It came out a month ago. Too soon to say.
Also, not to spoil anything, but it being a PC game is kind of tied into the story.
Yeah, two of the bosses uses a gimmick that only works with a pc
Best game, Makes you feel like a Lucky carder.
it's incredible 10/10
I'm currently finding this game more challenging than Sekiro and a few other From Software games I've platinumed 🤣
Why????
Watched Jesse Cox play the whole thing, incredible.
9/10 Amazing
fun fact: on the 2nd part there is a "enemy" that u can exploit and make a sertian card over power by sacrifising it
Watched some of this. It was genius till it wasn't and then it was terrible. What a punt.
Will it ever come on mobile?
It's crossing that fine line between challenging and annoying.....
Just give it a 10
It took you 9h to finish the game? Are you using a fast forward cheat in real life?
Thankyou for writing a spoiler free review :D
What Warcraft could have been
if u had nothing bad to say about the game why not just give it a 10 lol
But what about Luke Carder? Is he... a 9???
they actually got it right
Ok not bad review but you didn’t talk about the 2nd part of the game or the 3rd part of the game
explain how that would be possible without spoilers?
How many hours can you play this game before it gets boring ?:)
it took you 9 hours ? what are you some genius ?
Will it ever come to ps4?
@ابو موطه when tho
Games similiar to this?
Yea one of the all time greats.
You sure?
SACRIFICE MUST BE MADE!!
mmm choken blood
(sorry)
Dual disk
There is not a single bad thing about this game. Easy 10/10
This game looks perfect for IOS…
The first part of this game is fun, after that it's downhill and boring. They should have just made it a rogue light with the first part
Hurr durr nobody wants actual lore and interesting twists
@@virtualfreek7712 thats fine. As long as the game remains the same. But htey turned it into a completely different much shitter game,
@@Wylie288 "shittier" lul, ok, devs don't owe you anything. Did you even play act 3? No? Didn't think so. Shut up about things you know nothing about,
Also nobody who listens to post rock has the right to call anything shitty, since they clearly don't have taste? But okay you're probably a 40yo man anyway.
There is now a free and official mod that does exactly that.
This game is as boring as hell. You don't build card hands at all. Your choices are very limited. Having such few choices takes all the fun out of it. It's too linear, too much luck is involved and not much skill is needed. Good card games rely on levelling up skills with your deck building. But not here.
@@ausmiku sounds like the game is just not for you also if you find this game boring as a card game then its just not for you because any card game enjoyer would actually say this game is awesome af
9/10
Idk why, but the german Version of the game is better xD
Wow spoilers in the first couple lines Jesus 😅
9.9 not gonna lie
TOO FAST, TOO SOON
Looks similar to thronebreaker
whats that?
Wow, great video!
Yeah this game is a 10/10
TOOO FAST!!!!!
TOO SOON!!!!
So many bears...
@@roninvalkyrie85 leaping bears 🤙🏼
IGN: 2/10 not persona 5.
