My only complaint is the lack of ultra wide support. Steam guides recommended a third party app called Fullscreenizer which fixes it, but it makes my PC run incredibly hot. Dropping to lowest settings at 60 fps pushes my temps to the max in certain areas.

    Edmund has said he specifically did this on purpose. There's no singular game winning item. The power comes from combinations. He added passives and items that seem boring at face value but get better when synergizing with something else.

    With all that said I think the breeding is what will make runs broken. Good items will be an unnecessary cherry on top when your cats are overpowered from the start.

    For a really long time I never thought I'd do more than one gold stake. That first one was the only completionist feeling one to me.

    I later discovered Dr. Specter's Balatro University and also watched a lot of Major League Balatro. I learned a ton and thought that maybe I'd give harder stakes another try. There's a lot of dopamine to be had in applying theoretical knowledge to overcome something you previously thought was nearly impossible.

    Black stake is a whole other beast though. Dr. Specter himself says if you really want to beat it you should be prepared to reset over and over for hours on end.
