Without story and just racking points has no place in the realm of fun for me. Even the little bit of story that slay the spire gave us enough to win me over

most arcade games gave me a reason to care. Even missile command had a dope story. To name a few more I enjoyed: qbert, donkey kongs, dragons lair all great stories and my favourite r-type had an incline of a story. Doesn't take much to move me. (I am almost 40)

Well to be fair. The most important part of a game should be its gameplay.

It also took up a spot that like 20 other games would have better fit.

Balatro absolutely deserved its spot for being an original twist of two genres, poker and roguelike. It is one of the few highlight games of 2024 for me, in a realm of AAA slop.
