(Although my Steam hours have just started, I've been playing HEX since Alpha for many many hours)

There isn't much I can say, which hasn't already been said. So in my review I will focus on a very specific demographic.

Hi there, long time Magic: The Gathering players! The answer to your question is a massive YES.

YES, this is that game you've been waiting for all this time. Frustrated about the fact that Wizards of the Coast is apparently stuck in 2002 (looking at you MTG Online) and you see all these shiny new digital TCG/CCG coming out? You've been looking at your humongous collection of cards neatly stacked away in a closet. And you nostalgically think about the times you used to play MTG for days with your friends. Friends who have since moved far away and don't have time to get together for this anymore. It's 2016 now, surely there could be some way of reliving the joy of MTG digitally?

Well, it's time to rip apart that Chaos Orb! HEX is here and it will give you everything you've been waiting for and so much more! And that, my friend, is a promise. It's MTG, but with all the nice things you can only do in a digital environment.

I've read people complain about the fact that PVP isn't free-to-play. Well, we, as long time MTG players laugh about this. Haha! The amount of money we spend over the years on buying booster packs and single cards will never come close to what HEX costs in a long long time. ;) But I think this is one of the things I really like about HEX. Why?

No, it isn't F2P if you really want to get competitive into the PVP side of things (but PVE is totally free). But that's also why HEX is a Trading Card Game. That T actually makes a huge difference in comparison to other digital cardgames (one with Murlocs for example). You can buy, sell and trade single cards in HEX. Just like you can with MTG. There is an actual auction house and there are third party store websites, which buy and sell singles. So, yeah, you can buy that booster pack for $1.50 and pull out a Vampire King, which is currently valued at $30. You can then sell that Vampire King and buy yourself a stack of boosters or a couple of other singles you want. The money I spend in-game is actually more of an investment. And not a bottomless pit even Harrison Jones wouldn't dare to venture down in...

So, bottom line, I can wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone looking for the best digital TCG currently on the market. Look no further, it's HEX. And if you look at the things these guys have in store for us in the future, this is only going to get better and better. See you in game!
