I disagree with this assessment but in order to tell you why I'd have to keep putting down balatro and I just started up the Knife's Edge challenge soooo

okay now that I'm between rounds I can tell you that it's a really good rougelike deckbuilder, but I wouldn't describe it as transcendent of the genre

also I find this dubious:

his only exposure to the genre was watching a video about one of them Lol

was the video "northernlion binding of issac COMBINED ALL KNOWN FOOTAGE" because IMO Balatro is quite genre aware

it's something he mentioned in an interview, and it's a good interview you should read it

okay yeah

his only exposure to the genre was watching a buncha video about one of them Lol

this is the split hair that I would like to assert 😅
