  • I got into Balatro finally, and holy fuck, it really is great. I wanted a turn based roguelike since I realized I didn’t have many of those, and I knew it’d be good, but it’s hard to find something I don’t like about the game.

    It looks good, the interface is good, the music is an awesome ever changing single chill song, it’s turn based so you can think about your decisions, but if your build is strong you can play pretty quick too. There are tons of build options and unlocks.

    There is a nice balance between playing hands and altering your build between rounds, I like that the money economy is low in number, similar to darkest dungeon and its low number damage stats even single digits matter. Learning the game and starting runs you begin to establish a build that you can add synergy to incredibly quickly. I just struggle to find anything bad to say about it.







  • I’m glad that you enjoyed this game! Some of your reactions to the characters’ fates took me back to when I played the series on Vita haha. It was also nice to see you mention the extra stuff like Distrust.

    I will warn you now, if you are playing the trilogy through on the Switch’s Decadence Collection… V3 is poorly optimized during certain class trial sections and I actually struggled to complete some of the mini games because of how laggy it was (when it ran perfectly on the Vita). It’s possible they patched it since I played it after the first or second patch, but keep it in mind.

    It is still doable, but it’s a bit of a shame because I love this series. I hope you enjoy Goodbye Despair and V3 provided you complete them as well!


  • Persona 3/4/5 (not all tracks are instrumentals, but most of them are and they are straight bangers)

    Katana Zero Danganronpa 1, 2, V3 Silent Hill 1, 2, 3 (all I can vouch for, but I hear the later games still have banging soundtracks) Crosscode Kingdom Hearts 1/2 Nier Automata Minecraft Donkey Kong Country 1/2 VA-11 HALL-A Catherine Full Body Deadbolt Risk of Rain 1/2

    Some of these you’d have to sift through, like Silent Hill is one part industrial creepy noise, and one part absolutely incredible hip hop and rock
