There is an anxiety to deckbuilders that I don't find with many other games, in that I get incredibly stressed about which cards I should play.

"They would feel a kind of sadness, right?": Slay the Spire 2 dev on using slightly rubbish placeholder art over AI
Those of you that have been playing Slay the Spire 2 in its current early access form will have seen that some of the placeholder art looks, well, arguably bad.
