"Balatro ticks all the boxes for a roguelite that creates a feedback loop that's difficult to draw yourself away from," wrote critic Alessandro Barbosa. "Its fundamentals are incredibly easy to understand, even if you're unfamiliar with poker, but the ways in which it works within the game's boundaries (and often breaks free from them) injects a level of depth to each hand to play that's both challenging and rewarding to continually engage with. It's a game that will melt away time as you hit play on one run after the next, with each defeat never stinging long enough to dissuade the possibility of victory on the next."
Balatro has received several free content updates since launch that have added characters from other game franchises to the decks. Last week ahead of The Game Awards, Friends of Jimbo 3 added cards inspired by Cult of the Lamb, Shovel Knight, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and five more games. This shows the game's commitment to expanding its universe and keeping the content fresh and exciting for its players.
