My friend has 1000+ hours in Slay the Spire. A game that can scratch the same itch as Balatro. He has been playing on the PC and has claimed he will be splitting his time from now on. I too really like it, it’s a perfect chill game. I think a lot of ‘normie’ gamers are picking it up since the game is so easy for some to pick up as one main mechanic is just knowing poker hands. My dad who plays Tetris and solitaire really likes it.
There are two in my neighborhood! They park across the street from each other.
