This game is looking even more attractive than normal due to disappointment in the news about Warcraft III: Reforged.

I started playing this a week or so ago. I liked the tutorial because it paused between matches. Playing a regular bot match after that was so fast it was frustrating. Once I realized the speed requirements for decision making, I tried again and have done well against the bots now. It's fun, but it is slightly stressful fun. This is not a game that promotes deep thinking. It develops your brain into twitch thinking and probably depletes your attention span. For how complex the characters, abilities, items, and placement can be, I wish there was an option to play with a longer timer. Specifically in bot matches, it would also be nice to see a recap of what just happened in the last bout. Instead, you just *shrug* and forget it because you're going to face a different enemy next anyway.

The things I like are:
- The quick match is quick. You don't have to commit to even 30+ minutes.
- No deck building to manage outside of matches, so you aren't going to be squashed by an opponent who nailed a good deck build
- Characters (like cards) are a bit dynamic during the match

Maybe I just need to play a different card game in draft mode.

I must say that this reminds me of a movie I really liked as a child called Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller [External Link]! I couldn't remember what it was called until I searched for it. I always called it The Stamp Travelers. Fun film.

Anyway, the game sounds very cool. I just might have to get it and play it.

It doesn't look like the gameplay is as fast and responsive as Rocket League, but it could still be fun in the absence of RL.

The styling is very attractive. That alone makes me want to play it, however I've never been able to get into JRPG style combat.

I normally use KsysGuard + lm_sensors, but I will give this a try. Might be nice to have it all in one app. Also, I may prefer the individual CPU core graphs even though it doesn't show a history.

I only have 23 hours in Steam. I launch the game outside of Steam as well, so I am not sure what my total hours are. Either way, plenty of fun time compared with the cost of the game. But the real kicker is my kids. My guess... gotta be around 100 hours for each of them. It would be more if we didn't limit their screen time.
