Over the last year I found myself losing interest in roguelikes. Balatro has reminded me why I fell in love with them in the first place.

My deck has been painstakingly crafted for this moment. My jokers are lined up. My glass and steel cards are at the ready. All I need is a flush. But as one hand becomes two, two become three, four, five, no flush appears. The run is over. ‘Looks like the joke’s on us!’ taunts the jester, mocking me with his smug grin.
In the pre-Balatro world, I found myself starting to tire of roguelikes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of my favourite genres; I have spent hundreds of hours across the likes of Risk of Rain, Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire and more. Balatro takes the genre back to basics, and its reward is a fast, manic, and deeply satisfying gameplay loop that had me hooked from day one.
Most of my runs don’t even make it past the first round. But it’s so quick to play that it’s a no-brainer to immediately jump into a new run. With nothing else to focus on, Balatro’s gameplay shines. With every run you gain a deeper understanding of its wild mechanics, coming up with progressively more innovative ways to break apart the very essence of poker. It feels like I’m sitting at a slot machine that I can’t pull myself away from.Balatro doesn’t want you to win.
