This is like, a slow cooked, thrice-reduced meal of a "deckbuilder" roguelike. Everything is simple yet complex. The amount of choice, randomness, ability to create overpowered builds, it's all here. This has everything I love in roguelikes, and it's just putting up cards and watching numbers go up! and finding ways to make the numbers higher! The joker system is great, and what defines building your deck for the most part, but every card in your actual deck can be upgraded, changed, or destroyed. There's tarot cards, planet cards, spectral cards all for providing potentially helpful effects to your cards and jokers. Balatro is madly addictive, geniusly designed, and blows most deckbuilding games outta the water. Also great for listening to music and podcasts...
