Slay the Spire 2 has drawn sharply divided feedback on Steam since its March 5 release. Filtering out certain reviews yields a 94 percent Very Positive score, while the unfiltered rating sits at 56 percent Mixed. Multiple waves of review bombing have shaped the current picture.
The game has been review-bombed three times in the 11 weeks since launch. The first wave followed a buff to the Doormaker Act 3 boss, the second came after the boss was not nerfed, and the third targeted the inclusion of Anita Sarkeesian in the credits. The Doormaker is no longer present in the game.
