  Everyone and their mother is playing Balatro, and for good reason. Super fun deck builder based on a normal playing card deck and poker hands. Great music and visuals, too.

    To anyone reading this - if you try Inscription, go in blind.

    I had a lot of fun with Aces & Adventures too, which similarly is based around poker hands but is very different to Balatro.

  You know you can turn off the music, right? Just play your own or none at all.

    The music in slay the spire is perfectly fine but it gets repetitive after a while. But it’s also a great game to play while listening to podcasts so it’s a non issue

  Monster train is phenomenal.

  It, and as someone else said, balatro, are my 2 favorites since slay the spire.

  Space Food Truck is like FTL meets deckbuilding.

  Fun stuff, can be played coop too.

  I’ve played Wildfrost, but I don’t feel confident in recommending it, because it’s quite hard and very RNG-based. But, maybe that’s your thing. Honestly, I played it just for the art style lol

  I had a lot of fun with Cobalt Core. Much more lighthearted; great soundtrack too.

  Dreamquest was the original roguelike deck builder, and it had a lot of depth that you wouldn’t expect from its shitty art, I think it’s still worth playing. One of those games that seems extremely difficult until you learn the strategy, it is amazingly well balanced, small mistakes are the difference between win and loss

  SpellRogue was fun for a bit but not sure it has staying power the way StS does.

  Haven’t seen Vault of the Void mentioned here - I’d rate it higher than most of the others.

  I’m hoping more people reply to this than one person. The whole thread only lists slay the spire and balatro.
