Marvel Snap is a masterfully crafted fast paced card game. It's very accessible and easy to get into, but the strategy goes surprisingly deep, and has a rich competitive scene.
My favorite thing about Snap is that there's a wide variety of fun deck archetypes that are viable. Second Dinner takes advantage of being a digital card game by giving frequent balance updates to reinvigorate underplayed cards and shake up the meta if one strategy becomes too strong.
I like the Marvel theme just fine, but have really loved collecting new variants for my favorite cards and upgrading them to look as cool as possible. It's a great game for a collector.
You can get a vast majority of the cards super easily, just by playing for free. They add a new card each week, and you won't be able to get them all, but you don't need to, and the game is generous enough that you can pick and choose new cards to unlock fairly regularly.
There are some problems with the economy, but I would say It's not necessary to spend money on the game (although I would say the monthly Season Pass is very worth it). I would suggest people to ignore the more expensive bundles, as all they do is speed up your progress a little bit.
I would recommend this game to anyone who is a card game or Marvel enthusiast.

Fun and fantastical auto-battler card game. Most similar to Hearthstone Battlegrounds, but with the added strategy of placing your units in 2 rows, and spells you can play once a turn. Every hero is unique, and fun to play in their own ways. Plus there's a bunch of interesting viable game plans to tackle each game from.

Has great art, music, and flavor, but doesn't yet have the polish of some of the other games of the genre. However the developers have been giving consistently good updates to the gameplay and art. I imagine it will be a very stunning game once out of early access.

Hades creates its own unique world based on Greek mythology that manages to be immersive and interesting by combining a great art style, some amazing voice acting, and story that lends itself to the roguelike gameplay. The characters and story is one of the most appealing things about Hades and makes you want to play more to unravel the story and hear more of what the characters have to say. The gameplay is also great and allows for great replayability as you want to try out new combinations of weapons and powerups. Progression in Hadesalso feels natural, allowing you to power up your character through subsequent runs, and rewards you for increasing the difficulty as you become stronger.
I would recommend Hades to anyone and it's my favorite game of 2020 so far.
