I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Been playing a game called Astrea, which is a deck builder but instead of cards you have dice. I'm awful at deck builders and am finding it very frustrating.

I also played a few Survivors-likes - Sea of Survivors, where you are a pirate ship, and Death Must Die, where metaprogression is in Diablo-style loot. Sea of Survivors is pretty basic but it works well, while Death Must Die wants you to dodge around a lot and play really actively, which isn't bad but I don't prefer it.

Is Sea of Survivors a nautical game? 'Cause I wouldn't mind something like that then.

It's nautical themed, yes, but it's not like Sea of Thieves where you do the stuff on the boat, it's a pirate ship that follows your cursor and auto-shoots.

Here's the Steam page, they have a gameplay trailer https://store.steampowered.com/app/2347940/Sea_of_Survivors/ it's def worth five bucks
