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.

I've really enjoyed Slay the Spire, Inscryption, Dicey Dungeons, Monster Train, Balatro, Peglin, Hellcard, and Banners of Ruin from this genre.

I have hours in balatro. But, Inscryption is better.

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.
