Not necessarily a problem, arguably it's better for A0 to be easy once you've got the hang of things, and then have a harder Ascension climb to compensate.

I feel like the game is easier than StS1 so far, I've been playing a bunch of that in the past few weeks and was struggling to complete runs even on A0, but in StS2 if I get a few lucky breaks early I find I can usually carry that through to the end easily.
Won with the Regent now too. Got Seven Stars from Neow, built up a bunch of sources of stars, and star gain/spend triggers. Once it was generating stars easily added more payoffs, and eventually found Alignment which allowed me to play most of my deck nearly every turn.
In the Necrobinder run, I got the "10 doom, then 5 more doom for each 10 doom" card and went all in on doom, as well as getting some damage triggers on debuffs, and a tonne of extra energy effects.
Necro feels potentially insanely powerful, lots of card draw + energy boosts.
In the Silent run I had a fairly solid discard synergies build, with the discard hand double damage next turn card (forgot its name) and then later found Tracking to get 4x or even 6x damage if I managed to double it.
Won a couple more runs of StS2, one with the Silent and the other with the Necrobinder. So far I feel like it's easier to do very broken things than it was in StS1.
I'm assuming it will be an unlockable reward like the beta art in the original once it's finished.
(Although tbc, the placeholder art is a lot more scrappy than the StS1 beta art)
FWIW it feels pretty complete so far, with the exception of some occasional (cute) placeholder art.
Likely most of what remains will be balance tweaks, but understandable if people prefer to wait until that's done.
Cover of Lo, Nuns!: A picture in colours that resemble a medieval illustration, comprising five nuns in various habits. It is set in a golden oval frame, with flowing plumes of red and blue, and ribbons. The first nun is dressed in a gold habit, and has an elegant breastplate and a curved sword. The second nun wears a crimson habit and a sensual pose. She has long claws, and she plays with a long string of beads. She has bright blue eyes. The third nun wears a ragged, feathery habit, in raven black. She carries a sickle. Her hand is stained red/black. The fourth nun is in a normal brown/gray habit. She looks alarmed, and is trying to grab a cat, who is jumping out of the frame. The fifth nun is in a blue/black habit, and is holding up an ammonite. A demonic, clawed hand approaches her shoulder.
Cover reveal: Lo, Nuns!
@anemoneart.bsky.social has done an amazing job on the cover, introducing us to just five of the many interesting nuns (and the pussy) to be found within these pages.
I am honestly blown away with how incredible the art is!
Please read the transgender lesbian hockey story that's got everyone saying "I am going to kill you Crowsa," "why is it called that," and "wraghhhh"

I was slightly worried I'd be in trouble when I finally had to reshuffle my deck on the Act 3 boss, but I'd already weakened it a bunch so it wasn't actually a problem.
Oh also got Scrape and Overclock to dig through for more 0 costs. I guessed the burns from Overclock would be irrelevant because with the deck full of Claws I'd win before I ever reshuffled, and that proved to be pretty much the case.
Managed to find a bunch of passive block relics and powers as well so I was able to focus on pure DPS without glass cannoning too hard.
Act 3 boss was kinda easy at that point...
I didn't even realise at first that it worked exponentially, added a bunch more Claws to my deck and also found another All for One, and some Holograms which could pull Af1 back to hand. So it started to get pretty crazy.
I started getting 3 claws and upgrading them, and managing to find an All for One and another couple of 0 costs...
Then at the start of Act 2 I got offered the clone boon, so obviously I put it on a Claw.
Finally "won" a run of Slay the Spire 2 (Act 3 only) with the Defect.
I'll put spoilers in thread.
"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life." has entered my vocabulary ever since I saw it as a kid.
By the time you're finished it might be possible to actually buy it (Steam struggling atm).
Just going to ruin this image for everyone by pointing out the New Text Document just below the text at the top. It's always been there, there's no version of this image that I know of without it.
Isn't it also like, the normalest ass Japanese name, like John Smith? I remember anime jokes about it.
I think it's actually doing floodfills to draw the image. Bitmaps would use too much data, and I guess floodfills are a little simpler to work with than filled polygons.
Thinking about the Hitchhiker's Guide "Crisis Inducer" but for temporarily giving you traumas you can be horny about.

Even if "family voting" was an issue surely it would be election interference not fraud?
Just to note, although this bundle is theoretically US only, I found it fairly trivial to bypass that limitation with a VPN, and Kobo itself doesn't seem to care once you have the code.
Blue is easier than red tbh, but you've got some hard ones to look forward to (black deck 😩)
It's only 2.25x but if you've got comfortable overhead that's probably fine. You deffo want more kings now tho.
Was annoyed in my evil run that I couldn't kill Astarion in dialogue the instant he tries to gank you, so I just switched character and attacked him during the dialogue.
