Slay the Spire co-creator advises that 'taking risks is actually the least risky thing you can do,' arguing for the appeal of 'hyper-engaging' gamesApr 25, 2024 - PC GamerCasey Yano, co-founder of Slay the Spire developer Mega Crit, quit his job several years ago to work on the deckbuilder that would eventually earn a 92% from PC Gamer and a 97% overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam. It wasn't a smash hit at first, when it launched in early access, but as Slay the Spire picked up attention it eventually became the inspiration for dozens more singleplayer deckbuilding roguelikes.

I tried it out a while back, and keep revisiting the service from time to time to give new games a go; it’s a nice way of discovering distinct, fresh games from the comfort of literally anywhere, and has plenty of charming, casual titles to sink your teeth into. The service continually keeps on giving too, hence regularly revisiting it. One month, Apple may add a few titles that I couldn’t care less about. During another month, Apple will stuff the Apple Arcade stocking with indie gems that I have been eyeing up since forever. This month, June, is one of the latter months for Apple Arcade, seeing multiple indie gems being added to the service. The service will be opening its digital doors to Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley, and a remaster of Ridiculous Fishing, all of which are fantastic games. There’ll also be the likes of LEGO Duplo World and Hello Kitty Island Adventure added to the service on July 7 and July 14 respectively, if you have any iPad-loving children around who’d be into that.
