"Should I buy Balatro?"

[TheVoluntaryist]

Relationship: It's Complicated.
When people ask me **see title** I always tell them, Yes. Absolutely you should. It's one of my favorite games I hate. I quit it forever at least once a week. I have the plushie. It's really unfair. It's a good strategy game. The music and art immersion are dope. It's just a Skinner Box for gambling addicts. I think it might be one of the more enjoyable casual gaming experiences in modern; our closest equivalent to the thatgamecompany genre of flower and journey for roguelites the likes of which we will probably never fully recreate... and it cheats. It freaking cheats. You mother

It is a great, unique game.

It's a great game if you enjoy frequent and prolonged failure. It's more soulslike than it is rougelike. I'm not slamming the game but if you look at all the people who suggest the game is easy, they have 250+ hours and sometimes thousands of hours in the game. Quick success is rare and typically short-lived.

Addictive? Yes! Fun? Hmmm...

It can vary drastically of how good you are when you start. Some people get their first win after 20+ hours, some people win their first few runs in a row. From what I've seen the majority of players find a decent amount of success when starting out and every content creator I've seen play the game won their first run on the tutorial seed.

I agree. It's my favorite game even though it frustrates me at times. I'm getting better at it. I may never be an expert but I'm improving. I would tell anybody to get this game.

I agree with that.
