It’s almost the end of the year, and I finally bought Balatro.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT

Balatro has taken the world. It is on pretty much every single platform and it is made by LocalThunk and published by Playstack.

Positives:

• Deceptively simple but difficult to master.
  • If you know how to play poker, then you are in the clear.
• The UI is insanely simple, and it doesn’t take away from the game.
• I love it when the counting happens and all the numbers pop and make a ton of noise
  • All the lights and sounds make my brain happy.
• makes me feel smart when I do well.
• Shit, there is a lot to collect.
  • I have an obscene amount of hours in this game and I fell like is skimmed the surface.
• I always want to play more.
• I play it all the time.

Negatives:

• absolutely nothing.

OKAY Balatro is a game that I put off for so long and I will admit that it was stupid of me to not play it earlier. This game has everything I want in a roguelike. I dare say that it is one of the best games this year. The game is so addictive, so much so that I think I have at least 20+ hours in it and I bought it at the end of November.

When I’m on the toilet, Balatro. When I’m bored, Balatro. When I’m doing soemthing I don’t actuaally want to do, balatro.

It’s the perfect mobile game.

It’s the perfect game.
