A real game - could have been written in the 80s, but genius took a while to arrive. A mix of alchemy and poker as you try to build a set of magical jokers and an enchanted deck of cards to score incredible points and beat each "ante". Fast, addictive, addictive, and full of challenges, variant decks, and new things to unlock. Something to be playing for years to come when you've an odd moment to mess around, or an entire evening to try and beat a challenge. Deal those cards, Balatro!

I knew installing this would lead to many hours and battery draining moments. I knew that thisnwould be a serious pull on gaming addiction. And yet, as always, underestimation was present. The ability to do quick run that are always giving you different choices and strategies with a quick gameplay loop is astonishing. Every time I think I understood the majority of the game, out comes another mechanic that suddenly makes me have to change how I deal with cards and hands. 7/5 Would recommend.

Incredibly fun and addictive, the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars it's because it NEEDS local storage save & manual cloud synchronisation in the options. 0 issues playing when on WiFi, but I live in an area with poor reception, and occasionally when I'm commuting I can't connect at all and thus can't play. But yeah it's genuinely beautiful crafted, amazing experience. It the save system ever gets updated, I'll update to 5 stars!
