I'm 8 hours into The Last Spell and it is 😍 SO GOOD 😍 I love tactics and strategy games, and I'm a sucker for games where you have a hero roster with personality modifiers that impact gameplay (Darkest Dungeon, for example). Honestly feels like someone made this game for me personally ❤️

I need more games to play: - I have ~45 minutes free every 2.5 hours. I need something with no time pressure that I can easily put down and pick up again. - sick of visual novels, want indie, strategy, or tactics - don't have energy for a large learning curve (ex: 4X games) unless it is fantastic
