Really nice game, really excited for this release in 2020

It's a lot of fun. Try it out if you haven't yet

As of the point in time I am writing this (November 29, 00:27), the game just got released and I just got to play it for two hours. But it is a great game. I followed the games development for a long time before it was realesed and I am very happy how it turned out.

Don't let others destroy the expierence for you by mocking the game because of it's "bad monetazation scheme". The market is very new, so the prices still have to adjust themselves. And even now, Artifact is still the cheapest DCG. And even if you don't want to spend any money, there is still the phatom draft mode, which is a lot of fun.

Another thing that I want to mention about this game is the soundtrack. Surprisingly, it is amazing. And not only that, the whole style of the game is really nice. I had really liked the style of Blizzard's Hearthstone and had the fear that Artifact can't keep up with it's great style. But turns out, they really nailed it with their stylistic choices!

The only "problem" with the game right now, is that there is no progression and no real competetive ladder. But Valve already announced that this is the first thing they are going to work on after the release.

By the way, the problem that people are not receiving their 10 free card packs and 5 event tickets is probably just a temporary server issue/bug. I myself didn't have any problems with the starting stuff.

If there is anything else about the game comes to my mind, I might update the review at some point

I nominaled this for the Steam Awards in the category „Greatest Fun With A Machine“. You can probably guess why
