I think what I love most about balatro is just how raw it is. Theres no plot where I have to play poker hands to defeat baddies, no characters or really any meta progression outside of unlocking things, which can be avoided with a code. It honestly doesn't feel too far off from something like windows solitaire or minesweeper. Balatro doesnt waste its time with any fluff because it knows that must fun part of it is entirely decision making and neuron activations from number going up, and I love that.

ok but please add another song to the game please i can only listen to the same song over and over again for so long

The one bgm do be some serious heat but yeah lmfao I do wish there was more. Would’ve been cool if there was a handful of options you can toggle for a shuffle before starting a run or maybe while you’re inbetween shop pulls kinda similar to Va-11

If it's going to be one song, though, then you've gotta admit they totally nailed the grippy hypnosis of swervy aesthetics in The Poker Dungeon™.
