Balatro looks like poker. It isn’t. It’s a spreadsheet that learned how to hurt people. You don’t lose to random chance. You lose because you believed in yourself. Every run feels illegal. Every win feels accidental. This game gaslit me. I keep coming back.

You can see my hours. This is not a multiplayer game. I did not mod it until I 100% it, then cut off the mods to beat the 100% the base game on another profile, for a second time. Buy this game. Play this game. Its the best roguelite I've ever played.

At first I played Balatro on my phone for months. After I bought it on steam I kept playing. During the boring classes or my free times I played Balatro so sorry mme Bottero in advance. My girlfriend is a poker nerd and she started to watch me play Balatro while complaining ''This is not Poker!'' ''You cannot do that in Poker!!'' ''Poker is not like this, this game does not make any sense its stupid''. Later on I caught her playing Balatro and she was constantly rage quitting because she kept losing the runs. We have been playing it together when we eat, before bed, on weekends when we have to do nothing etc. She became progressively better in the game and stopped complaining about it. Sometimes I watch her play sometimes she watch me play Balatro and she also watches Balatro streamers or videos on youtube to fall asleep. It has been a very nice thing between us we like it and most likely continue to play for many times. It is not as addictive as people are saying but the system of the game in itself is quite nice and I have been enjoying it a lot. When I have more time I will %100 all the achievements but at the moment me and my girlfriend are just casual players.
