Balatro - Poker Roguelike - (All Platforms) 94% on metacritic (February 20, 2024)

[Saint1]

Doesn't quite hit the highs of Slay the Spire. But I found myself playing multiple rounds and I had to put down the controller to actually be productive.

Best part is how fast it is to go through a run. Slay the Spire can take a 60 - 90 mins for a run. This one can go by in like 15-20 mins, quick loading and a speed option to make the animations faster.

I got it for $15 on PS5. Well worth the price

Obviously this a year later. But Balatro has easily replaced Slay the Spire for me.

Still playing it on my phone when I have to wait on something

When them multipliers start multiplying

Multipliers are the key.

My name is Zero and I have a gambling problem

I been playing Avowed and gone cold turkey on this game

I do still think of it.. The cards, the multipliers, its like that crack fix I miss it.
But I been clean for almost 2 weeks now. I'm joking yet kinda serious on not sure if I'll ever go back down that road again.
I liked it because it was something I could play real fast then jump back off. But once you addicted... I don't have time

Nah, they cranked up the difficulty for the mobile version.

Base stats and multi cut in half?

Play  one hand for 11,000 at this point?

..is this one of those games that give you the Tetris-Effect where if you fukk with it too much you start playing it in your head at random moments and when you sleep ?!?!!

Im pretty sure the games are the same aside from a bug or two.

The stats and multi cut in half are from a boss.

They are but I swear the PC version switches it up more.

I got that half cut shyt every 3rd boss for 3 runs

Yes. I think of Joker setups and arcanas in my sleep sometimes.

"Play 1 hand"

Would've hit 11k in 2

I just cannot beat 40k

Sad shyt is, I be cooking up to that point then I can't get a good hand going for shyt at the boss.

Tarot, celestial cards, nothing.

I will say this as a tip. There is an element of chance but there are a lot of cards/jokers that seem useless at the lower levels that are godlike when implemented properly. Plus finding synergy with your planets and arcana.
