Balatro is one of those games I didn’t think much of the first time I saw it, but it slowly became one of my favorites. Its gameplay loop is incredibly addictive and proves that sometimes, simplicity can deliver more fun than overly complex or innovative mechanics.

When I saw this first appear on Steam as a suggested game with the tags, "roguelike" and "deckbuilder," I had to give it a try. Oh whoops... I spent about a hundred hours on it in a couple of weeks. I think this game is addicting. Please send help. Big numbers get bigger.

After giving Balatro a go it's firmly cemented itself as one of my favorite games! Something about it clicked immediately, the soundtrack is wonderful to listen to and the gameplay in general is extremely satisfying. Players learn something from every run, whether it's successful or a complete bust. Absolutely a must-play game!

Proof that simplicity goes a long way in game design these days. Balatro takes about two minutes to learn and seemingly a lifetime to master, with each playthrough quick enough to fit into any time of the day. Satisfying on every level, it haunts you--after all, your next playthrough could potentially be incredible, so why not play right now?

Yo no encuentro el archivo config.lua. Tengo desactivado “archivos ocultos” y nada, no lo veo :’-(
Muy buen trabajo para los desarrollados de todas formas

It's a great game, even tho it can be hard to do certain things like besting gold steak black deck but still it's a fun game would recommend to play worth the 10 dollars on mobile and something on steam, 10/10
