Cobalt Core review

In our Cobalt Core review, I said: “The next great roguelike deckbuilder has arrived. Cobalt Core takes everything you love about FTL, Into The Breach and Slay The Spire and blends it all into a moreish, tactical puzzle loop that just keeps on giving. It’s wonderful.”

Ollie explores the innate joy of a game telling him “just how royally fucked I am” with its rows (or columns?) of damage numbers. Then again, even he isn’t sure whether ‘joy’ is the right word for it. Maybe he’s just terrified of lots of things in rows/columns. Who can say?
