Game that wants to be broken

Honestly I didn't really expect anything from the Balatro. "Yeah, sure, virtual poker. Probably plays as it sounds".
BUT IT DOES NOT!

Balatro is roguelike first of all and to be a good roguelike it should have some replayability. Balatro went over the top with the number of ways of how to break the existing game of poker. It really does something with your brain, because when you finish one session, you immediately want to hop on another one to break the game even more than before. Even more than that, every time your game breaking combo "pops off" the way you wanted to, it gives you mind boggling sense like you're some sort of mathematical genuis who discovered the perpetual motion machine.

And yeah, also big numbers do WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to our brain, which is also positive thing, if you are into such things.

Anyway Balatro is spectacular roguelike deckbuilder which is also availible on multiple platforms, so you can shuffle your deck even on your way to work.
BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE
it's 1000% better than the actual gambling.
Do I need to say more? It's criminally cheap for the amount of dopamine it offers. So give yourself a treat and buy a copy for yourself
And maybe another for a friend
