i'm sorry but no matter how good your game is i will not play a roguelike deckbuilder.

this is fair tho part of what makes Balatro so good is that it's basically in another dimension entirely from the rest of the genre. the dev has said that when he first started this game his only exposure to the genre was watching a video about one of them Lol

I disagree with this assessment but in order to tell you why I'd have to keep putting down balatro and I just started up the Knife's Edge challenge soooo

okay now that I'm between rounds I can tell you that it's a really good rougelike deckbuilder, but I wouldn't describe it as transcendent of the genre

also I find this dubious:
his only exposure to the genre was watching a video about one of them Lol
was the video "northernlion binding of issac COMBINED ALL KNOWN FOOTAGE" because IMO Balatro is quite genre aware

it's something he mentioned in an interview, and it's a good interview you should read it

okay yeah
his only exposure to the genre was watching a buncha video about one of them Lol
this is the split hair that I would like to assert 😅

this is the only thing that could make me interested in this genre
if it is expected for >10% of people to beat the game on the first playthrough then my interest is piqued

You probably won't beat it on first play but the rounds are very short. It's a minesweeper kind of game.
