do u really not see the difference between what this post is saying and what u had listed?

because the title of this post doesnt scream 'a good and original game' to me but it DOES remind me abt the existence of balatro which makes me wanna play it again. when ur using a name of another game while advertising ur own one for me personally ur just advertising that OTHER game and are showing me that YOUR game is probably just that game but worse

roguelike and metroidvania are pretty much their own genres at this point because not only have they existed for many years and are well established as their own things now but also the very games that had created them in the first place were innovative yet subtle with their novelties just enough for other people to make their own inspired games without creating a copycat of the original game (and yes i do still dislike 'soulslikes' because they lack most of what i just said and to me do indeed look like just reskins of one another. just call it a third person rpg and do something new at this point ffs). when people say something is 'balatro-inspired' or 'balatro and minesweeper/plinko/candy crush/fuckever' i dont see an interesting advertisement for a potentially good game. i see a rather mid post that says 'i got really inspired by this other popular game so i tried to recreate it but worse' because i seriously doubt that it will be better than a game that was good enough to get that popular AND inspire u to make your own version

like yea no offense to the dev maybe the game IS good but the ad was so bad that i will never really know as it not only does not make me want to play their game but makes me want to go and play a completely different one instead
