Which one do you prefer?

For me, it’s Slay the Spire and it’s not even close (even though I played Balatro first)

I honestly can’t fully explain why StS hooks me this hard. It’s challenging, deep, and constantly forces you to think and mathematically calculate everything. I beat my first Balatro run at about 2 hours. In StS, I was 10 hours in and still hadn’t won a single run. and yet, I kept coming back and hitting that “Embark” button again and again.

Balatro is still great. I have had a lot of fun with it and I am close to the Completionist achievement. But after a while, the gameplay loop starts to feel repetitive. But I still like it

Overall, if you haven’t tried Slay the Spire, I genuinely recommend it. It’s currently 90% off (about $2.49), which is kind of a steal for how much the game has to offer. Give it a shot.
