Five years ago a little hidden indie gem you probably never heard of called Slay the Spire came out, masterfully combining roguelike mechanics and deck building, creating the first true videogame drug, however, unlike real crack cocaine, there is a finite amount of Slay the Spire, and eventually, the game ends. I've been dealing with withdrawals ever since, for five years I've searched far and wide for anything that could remotely recreate that feeling, that rush, but to no avail, it all felt like a cheap copy of the real thing, nothing came even close, that is until now.
Balatro is a roguelike deck builder based on Poker, that sentence alone should tell you everything you need to know about why this is so stimulating, for our own health and safety this game should be illegal, but it's here, it cannot be stopped now, so we might as well enjoy it, and damn am I enjoying it, but I'd be lying if I said that I'm not terrified to see what games this thing ends up inspiring, Pandora's box is now open and I am letting every demon in, I want roguelike Blackjack, roguelike Koi-Koi, fuck it, give me roguelike Mahjong, this game is so addicting I'm experiencing a pre-emptive detoxification, I already want more and I'm not even done with it, send help.

Movement felt a bit off to me, and the guns were hit or miss. Art design was nothing special and same goes for the soundtrack. If this hit me at a different time i may have still played it to the end but honestly i have way too much in my backlog to play more of this when im very meh on it in the first place.

Nice gun selection, great movement and an honestly interersting story. Seven(the main character0 is pretty cool, has alot of mystery around her, but it left me wishing for more out of it. If they have a sequel i would like them to explore it more. If you like games that are similiar to quake, doom, Metal Hellsinger then I would recommend this game
