Balatro is a game that feels made for me. It’s a roguelite card game that, due to it being a fresh take on poker, is all about risk and reward.
Launching just last month, it already sits at the coveted “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, with over 18,000+ positive reviews. For the unfamiliar, it’s a card game, where you have to play hands of poker to win chips. Jokers are added to the top of your board which give you extra chips per hand, multiply your entire score, or play into some unexpectedly wacky mechanics — chips which are then used to make builds as you go through. You aren’t playing against an enemy, per se, and instead aim to get a score enough to keep you from failing your run.
