Solid picross game. I play this before bed and fall asleep to its music.
Worst thing I've ever done to myself is purchase Balatro and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at the same time. I'm having dreams about Jokers with Cait Sith on them.
As someone who sucks at deck building games this game is just like crack injected straight into my brain. The aesthetic is really strong and I appreciate the options to adjust the CRT filter, the pixelation, etc; those are great accessibility fearures. There's also an option to make the card suits high contrast which is nice for those with vision issues. Unlike a lot of deck builders, there's not a story structure or narrative built around the game. It's entirely gameplay-focused, which makes it super easy to pick up and play, and much harder to put down. I find myself playing right up to the last second of my lunch break and having to rush to meetings. It's got the perfect balance of challenge and reward, and offers tons of new decks to change the way the game plays. It also offers higher and higher difficulties for you to tackle as you get better at the game. I havent touched these yet because just looking at them makes my head hurt.
Even on runs I know I've lost, I keep playing to discover more jokers/vouchers/what have you. Every run I lose, I feel like I'm learning something.
You don't need to know ANYTHING about poker to play this game. I highly recommend picking it up if you have ant interest in it at all.
If you still aren't sure, watch some playthroughs online to get a feel for it. I watched Into the Aether's Balatro series on Youtube and quickly became obsessed.

This is a perfect Kirby game, I think. It's beautiful, it's silly, it's got fun level design, and it goes completely bonkers in the final hour. In true Kirby tradition, the final boss is "give the controller to an older sibling or a parent" levels of difficult.
This is a great game to play with a young child, and the co-op mode is one of the best I've seen for that use-case.
Though the game is pretty easy, I think it's also very enjoyable for an adult Kirby fan. As I mentioned, it's a charming and beautiful game. There's also replayability for each level to complete specific challenges, many of which are actually challenging even for more experienced players.
There is also a post-game area that features a massive difficulty bump, which should be satisfying for players wanting more of a challenge.
In terms of importance to Kirby's lineage, I'd compare this game to Mario Odyssey. I think it's genuinely a really wonderful experience for anyone who likes Kirby games, but it is especially good for children and adults (or just older children) playing with young children.
