For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

I played diablo 3 or 4 recently (whatever is on the switch). The core gameplay is ok, but the fact that every 30 minutes you need to spend tinkering/minmaxing with your infinite loot pile of random shit is kind of annoying, plus the controls for that menu are shit.

I don't really understand the draw of those games, beyond just basic addictive RPG elements. The gameplay seems to just devolve into a spam of one or two AoE abilities.
