SHOULD I PLAY BALATRO? Whatever you do, do NOT play Balatro...at least, not until you’re ready to become obsessed with it and sink dozens of hours into one of the most deceptively complex and addicting roguelike deck-builders I’ve ever played. Balatro takes the basic rules of poker and turns the challenge of finding the best poker hand into an absolute art form that grows endlessly more complicated as runs progress. With hundreds of unlockables, bonus challenges, and deck types to discover, there’s enough here to keep the obsession burning long past the point of being healthy.
