Me earlier tonight: "Alright, maybe I'll try Balatro and if I don't jive with it, I'll refund it"
Played 3.5h straight, game rules.
I'm not even that much into deck/card games in the first place!! That's why I'm surprised I got hooked so hard lmao
I do have tens of hours on Hades so maybe it's not that surprising idk.
the secret sauce to Balatro hooking people, I think, is the fact that many other rogue likes give you a basic kit to start and you need to put in some time to unlock the wild stuff, but nah Balatro gives you the gooftroop shit right away and it only gets wackier as you unlock more stuff
