Following his recent release of 1.6.9 on PC and the long-awaited 1.6 on all other platforms, Stardew Valley creator and solo developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone shares some of the games he's been playing - and it sounds like poker-themed roguelike Balatro has been taking up quite a bit of his time.
Speaking in a recent interview with Nintendo Life, ConcernedApe discusses what his favorite games are and what he's been up to outside of his seemingly eternal work on Stardew Valley. "There's a lot of good games that I've played," he admits. "Recently I got way into Balatro." He then describes just how addictive the smash-hit roguelike can be once it's opened: "Hours have gone by. You really lock in, you like zone in, you're in a trance."
