    Slay the Spire for me, I thought it’d be a slam dunk because I love Balatro, but it just didn’t land for me at all.

        Huh opposite for me. I have played Slay the Spire for like 2000 hours. I have beaten it through ascension 20 on all 4 characters like 20ish times at this point. I still pick it up and play it when I’m bored and it still is fun somehow.

        I could not get into Balatro like that. I think I have roughly 50 hours in it and like 3/4 of the way through it with all the decks and challenges and simply cannot bring myself to complete it. The last 10 or so hours just felt like a slog. Still a good game but the sheen wore off for me well before I could 100% it much less start replaying.

        To each their own I guess! Funny how similar the games are and how there’s just some people that love one but can’t get into the other.

          2 thousand hours‽ That’s just fucking impressive.

          Edit: there’s at least six characters. I’m replaying it though plus dicey dungeons l(which I love as well)

      That’s funny, I love Slay the Spire, but I have mixed feeling about Balatro.

      Balatro is addicting in that once I start playing I don’t want to stop, and yet after playing for a few hours I couldn’t say for sure I had fun at any point the whole time.

      Playing Balatro feels like exploring the backrooms to me - just infinite bland nothingness.
