[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (4 children) All these games and only one of them (Balatro) is even worth playing permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] pkpenguin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I've really enjoyed Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Dicey Dungeons, Monster Train, Balatro, Peglin, Hellcard, and Banners of Ruin from this genre. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UckyBon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago Slay the Spire is fun (but has aged). Luck be a Landlord is great fun too. And of course the Meteorfall series. All have a slightly different gameplay, but they're all worth their money. That said, I (just a casual gamer) learned about Balatro yesterday so am just a couple of hours in to it and must agree it is a blast, too! Luck be a Landlord was my favorite out if all, Balatro might beat that but I need more hours and exploration. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lambda@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago I have hours in balatro. But, Inscryption is better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] swordsmanluke@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago My most played Steam game is Dishonored, at 127 hours. I have replayed it a lot. A rarity for me, but I really liked that game. Dishonored came out in 2012. It's taken me 12 years to accumulate that many hours. Balatro came out two months ago. I have 93 hours in it. permalink fedilink source parent
