I got into Balatro finally, and holy fuck, it really is great. I wanted a turn based roguelike since I realized I didn't have many of those, and I knew it'd be good, but it's hard to find something I don't like about the game.

It looks good, the interface is good, the music is an awesome ever changing single chill song, it's turn based so you can think about your decisions, but if your build is strong you can play pretty quick too. There are tons of build options and unlocks.

There is a nice balance between playing hands and altering your build between rounds, I like that the money economy is low in number, similar to darkest dungeon and its low number damage stats even single digits matter. Learning the game and starting runs you begin to establish a build that you can add synergy to incredibly quickly. I just struggle to find anything bad to say about it.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
