  • I got into Balatro finally, and holy fuck, it really is great. I wanted a turn based roguelike since I realized I didn’t have many of those, and I knew it’d be good, but it’s hard to find something I don’t like about the game.

    It looks good, the interface is good, the music is an awesome ever changing single chill song, it’s turn based so you can think about your decisions, but if your build is strong you can play pretty quick too. There are tons of build options and unlocks.

    There is a nice balance between playing hands and altering your build between rounds, I like that the money economy is low in number, similar to darkest dungeon and its low number damage stats even single digits matter. Learning the game and starting runs you begin to establish a build that you can add synergy to incredibly quickly. I just struggle to find anything bad to say about it.








  • Thats relatively tame, he’s done more ridiculous stuff than that, but it is creative and funny in an “industry” where most streamers just play a game straightforwardly and don’t “cut loose” in quite the same way. I’m just habitually hyperbolic.

    I also don’t want to spoil the best things he’s done, half the fun of watching Jerma is discovering those things.
