I started taking part in Slay the Spire 2 shortly after my colleague wrote up a chunk on how its phenomenal multiplayer makes it an early sport of the yr contender. Inside an hour of beginning it, I, too, was totally hooked. Within the time since, I’ve poured a whopping 40 hours into Slay the Spire 2, but even after sinking that a lot time into the sport, I can not recover from it. I like how fast-paced, strategic, and immensely satisfying it’s, no matter when you’re taking part in solo or with pals. And that first time I hit the Spire and have become conscious of the larger gimmick at play? That is positively one in every of my favourite gaming moments of 2026 to date.
Nevertheless, my optimistic expertise with the sport and my colleague’s glowing phrases fail to mirror how Slay the Spire 2 is being obtained on Steam proper now. Although we (and hundreds upon hundreds of others) are thrilled with Mega Crit’s newest deck-builder, the sport’s Steam itemizing states its opinions are “Largely Detrimental.” So, what is going on on right here?
For the previous month, Slay the Spire 2 has been topic to relentless review-bombing. Whereas the sport sat at an “Overwhelming Optimistic” ranking again in mid-March, with 97% of gamers recommending it to others, it’s now listed as “Largely Detrimental,” with 39% of its roughly 55,000 opinions within the final 30 days being unfavorable. But issues get extra intriguing if you take a look at the place these unfavorable opinions come from.
