After being delayed in late 2025, Slay the Spire 2 entered early access on March 5 and was instantly a mega-hit. It shot past the two most recent big-hitters, Marathon and Resident Evil: Requiem, and remains firmly entrenched at the top of Steam's best-sellers.
That's perhaps not surprising for the sequel to one of the best deck-builders ever made (and the winner of PC Gamer's Best Design award in 2019). Right now an incredible 224,000 players are slaying that spire, and there are just under 6,000 reviews on Steam that average out to an "overwhelmingly positive" rating It's a hit! But developer Mega Crit wants to remind players that it's not the be-all and end-all.
