I'm not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I've enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly satisfying.

Anyone else hopelessly addicted to joker poker?

me me me! I started it with my partner, we now have 3 different profiles going - one for me, one for them, one for us together. I can't get enough of it, the mystery of the jokers is so compelling and all the dings and boops and flames are so oddly satisfying.

Fun fact: the game actually isn't based on Poker, but rather the Filipino card game Pusoy Dos, which is a variant of the Chinese card game Big Two.
