They're really 2 entirely different types of experiences though. In Vampire Survivors you play for half an hour and finish your run. In Balatro you wait for half an hour for your turn to finish.
Totally agree, but also they both kind of held the same place in gaming culture: two surprising and addicting hits with deceptively simple yet nuanced gameplay that people flocked to. I think it’s a testament to how two very different games can be so unique but spiritually similar. Just my two cents though 😁
@@BossMonsterKaiju I watched a few hours of Balatro here & there and ah... I'm staying the hell away from it. I'd spend a few good weeks amassing 100-200 hours in it and playing almost nothing else and that's a problem since I like playing many different kinds of games.
@ Im in the same boat. Im happy I could do it for this podcast BUT games like this are a lot. I’m too busy as is and there are a ton of games I want to get to. Something like this that fully sucks me in will kill what little free time I actually have haha
