Anything in here that I need?

Balatro is super good if you haven't played it yet. It's the passion project of one guy that feels more cohesive than some AAA games I've played

I didn’t expect to like Balatro as much as I did. I’m a big fan of deck builders but the poker theme was not super compelling to me. But wow, I’ve had a blast with it. Just boils down to a really good set of mechanics and some ridiculous fun builds. I don’t think it will hold my attention as long as like Slay the Spire or Monster Train but it was well worth the price.

I don’t know, the prices aren’t really a sale on any of the games I see popping up and honestly in terms of mechanics I still don’t think you can beat Slay The Spire and Monster Train.

edit Vault Of The Void and Tainted Grail look good too, Chrono Ark as well.

Eying Monster Train - will I survive without the DLC?

[–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I don’t have it, I think it changes up the game quite a bit and thus is more geared for someone who has played the shit out of the base game.

I do think Slay The Spire and Monster Train are basically must buys for the genre as boring of answer as that is. They both just have so much depth to their mechanics, and depth of mechanics is everything in this genre.

Adds an epilogue additional run mechanics and another faction.

You will be ok without it to start.if you like the game at all it is worth buying.

Totally agree with other comment. It and slay the spire are staples of the genre.
