It doesn’t help that SteamWorld Quest gets off to a start so slow that the jump from prokaryotes to eukaryotes looks tame in comparison. Do you know what the difference is? It’s based on the actual physical card game. hOD7y4yZmZĪnd yes, for those who follow me on Twitter, I play Magic: The Gathering and enjoyed the Steam version of it. SteamWorld Quest wakes up at 7AM but doesn't get out of bed until 8AM. But seriously, I think the second level of Ac!d is still stuck loading. If any card-based game had potential to hook me, it was the Metal Gear Acid games, but it turns out I was hoodwinked and they’re actually a series of load screens interrupted by a brief card-based tactical RPG snippets.
