Incredibly fun game, and definitely in my top 10 now. It's has so many levels of complexity that only better the experience as you learn.
  • Endless build possibilities
  • Fun mechanics and game design
  • Challenging yet rewarding
  • Can be difficult to understand at first
  • Scoring system is not friendly for those bad at math

Balatro is a unique and addictive roguelike deckbuilder that puts a fresh spin on poker mechanics. Instead of traditional gameplay, it blends poker hands with strategic card upgrades, multipliers, and wild cards, creating deep and rewarding decision-making. The game's minimalist yet stylish presentation, combined with its high replay value, makes it an instant hit for fans of strategy and deckbuilding. However, its reliance on randomness, steep difficulty curve, and potential balance issues may frustrate some players. Still, Balatro stands out as an innovative and engaging roguelike.
  • Unique poker-based deckbuilding gameplay
  • Deep strategy and high replayability
  • Simple yet stylish presentation
  • Can be heavily luck-based
  • Difficulty may be tough for newcomers
  • Some balancing issues with certain strategies

It's a roguelike with poker hands. Don't be confused by this poker bit because every relation with poker disappears pretty quickly as it turns into a game of jokers, planet(hand) levels, tarot buffs and so on..

I like this. Fun spin on poker. It would be nice to see how some cards effect the game mechanics as they aren't always very clear and there's no documentation in-game.
