What's incredible about Balatro is the way it takes something that feels ancient (poker) and managed to make it fresh and new. This project has an insane amount of originality and the game design is so simple.

You can't help but say, "one more run" because the runs can vary widely in terms of success and failure. The game does a great job explaining how to play and the more runs you complete, the more strategies you devise.

The first day I played, I nuked 5 hours of my night and I had no idea what happened. This is unironically one of the Top 5 games to come out this year. No contest.
