Dear God, I finally understand why people are addicted to gambling, despite the fact that this is nothing like gambling.
Balatro is a simple roguelite game where you have a deck, utilize cards to rack up a high score, and shoot for the moon. It is easily replayable with various decks, types of builds, challenges, and more. The duration of a given run isn't too long either, so you don't feel crazy invested or have a heavy loss when it inevitably ends. It even has a great endless mode that scales hard enough while being fun and rewarding! The music and visuals are nothing to write home about, they service the gameplay well but are not so unique as to heavily draw you in (though I do like the CRT vibe that the options enable for added effect).
I think having a few more bits and bobs (such as a more sandbox-y mode or additional ways to have runs) could be added to allow for more replayability and fun with the game. I told myself I'd beat gold chip difficulty with a deck before reviewing it, so with all the time under my belt having beat the base difficulty with all decks as well, this is an absolute gem. As it stands, this game absolutely rules and is so damn good that I HIGHLY recommend people grab it on the platform of your choosing.
