Decks & Daggers
(Review updated after completing the game.)
I felt neutral about the game until about half way through, but having finished it, it gets my unequivocal thumbs up.
I loved it.
It’s not a Slay the Spire clone, or anything like that - and yet I do feel it could offer the depth of strategy and builds of those games (and its spin-offs) while still remaining true to itself.
This game has had a lot of love and character thrown into it, which exceeds the StS brigade. It has a story and interesting characters. The art work is also beautiful and full of atmosphere and charm.

It looks like a fun game but sadly the cards you are dealt for each hand are completely random, so you can end up with no chance at winning a round and this happens time and time again.
I played for 6 hours and most of that time was starting again as the cards I was dealt meant I died pretty much on the first hand of each round.
What should have been a great game is ruined by the RNG.
Edit - Following latest update
I revisited the game after the update and although the RNG is still an issue (for me), it’s much less than before and I completed the game.
