Our Balatro review gave the compelling deckbuilder game a 9/10, thanks to its generous reward system, satisfying gameplay loop, and heaps of ways to customize your playstyle.
"Balatro ticks all the boxes for a roguelite that creates a feedback loop that's difficult to draw yourself away from," wrote critic Alessandro Barbosa. "Its fundamentals are incredibly easy to understand, even if you're unfamiliar with poker, but the ways in which it works within the game's boundaries (and often breaks free from them) injects a level of depth to each hand to play that's both challenging and rewarding to continually engage with. It's a game that will melt away time as you hit play on one run after the next, with each defeat never stinging long enough to dissuade the possibility of victory on the next."
