I read tedious as tendies lol
If they were tendies, anon would prefer numbers instead of mechanics. 😎
Yeah but having discipline to grind and find an efficient grind method can be hard.
Some games like runescape are mechanically easy but number hard because the difference between optimal path and suboptimal is one of "never getting this within realistic time frame" which essentially is equivalent to a mechanic defeat.
It's really not.
If the "optimal path" still sucks, it's just poorly designed. Runescape sucks because even the optimal path sucks. I did the math and found the optimal way to grind mining, for example, but I gave up around level 50 or so because it was clearly a game of diminishing returns and I hadn't been having fun for months.
Is it myth of the sword or myth of the gun, tell me retail employee. Tell me!
I can't stand when retail cash-register workers can't engage with my obscure philosophical analysis of niche media details.
So which type is balatro
Luck.
There are plenty of mechanics, but whether you win is determined more by what cards you see than your actual strategy, at least after a point.
Largely mechanics, apart from the need to unlock jokers.
Fun for a game so centered around numbers to not actually be numbers
Unlock jokers? It has an "unlock all" button in the collection section, if you don't mind missing out on achievements which I don't. Never understood them.
I believe that was implemented for people getting the mobile version after having played on another platform and not wanting to unlock everything again?
But yeah, you can certainly go that route, making it all mechanics and no numbers

Remnant vs Sekiro
Better yet: Pokemon vs Titan Souls.
In Pokemon, if you lose, you grind. In Titan Souls, if you lose, you try over and over until you win (or give up).
Remnant 2 is all just numbers until the final boss, who is a bigger load of bullshit than Promised Consort Radahn.
Have you tried shooting it in the head and dodging the red lasers?
It's the "randomly going blind and teleporting to an entirely different arena, vs an entirely different entity" that made it shit.
Still a hard game though.
