Balatro Special Edition - PlayStation 5

This game is super addictive, but so fun. It's different every time you play due to card combos. Glad I have a physical copy, now that PlayStation wants to go digital only. Get yours now!!!

Worth owning

Balatro is such an addicting game! Had to get a physical copy

Genuinely one of the best games ever made.

If you know the term "roguelike" you know it means a game that is procedurally generated from scratch every time you play it -- think The Binding of Isaac or Dead Cells -- it's never the same twice. Now imagine applying that formula to POKER. It sounds crazy until you try it, but Balatro hooks you by scoring each hand per round based on the cards you play, then gives you the chance to buy modifiers with your winnings. Some add lucky cards to your hand. Some multiply the points your cards have. Some turn your cards into stone (50 points per, no suit). Sometimes you get "holographic" or "foil" variants of playing cards and they're worth more. Did I mention the jokers? They can increase your winnings, upgrade your hand size, or generate tarot cards you can play to modify your hand further. You start running permutations in your head - if I have this joker plus this modifier plus this enhanced card my score when I play this hand will be... and it's too late son YOU'RE HOOKED ON BALATRO.

I was first introduced to this game when I wanted to try something different and challenging but something in the vein of rogue-like. I can say that this game hit every itch that I needed. It's challenging but fun. Difficult but rewarding. Every time I thought I hit a brick wall and figured this would be my last hand, I was granted a Joker card that changed my luck. I can't say enough about how much I love this game. Just as much as Hades made me come back for more punishment, Balatro does the exact same. I just can't get enough at runs and attempts to finally get to the end. Yes, it is Poker based, and yes it does help to know your way around some Poker, but it isn't exactly necessary either. I was able to get my wife to try her hand (no pun intended) at Balatro and she found it just as exhilarating. I say give it a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed. 10 out of 10 for me.

Best solo game for anyone over 50. Outstanding “card” game that grows sooooo well with time-in spent. An award winner for a reason. The music is soothing and the game does t cheat tooooo often. LOL. Highly recommend as a change of pace from the infuriating Rocket League I play at age 60!

The game is addicting, although it feels better to play this on a handheld vs a console.

10/10, maldita obra maestra, lastima que no ganará goty. Es el juego más adictivo que eh jugado, aunque ya lo tengo en mi celular no me pude resistir a tenerlo físico para mí Playstation 5 y sobretodo a la tremenda oferta que lo tome (como 400 pesos), el envío tardo un poco pero llegó en perfectas condiciones 👍🏼, también me pareció bonito el detalle de que viniera con 10 cartas del juego (5 jokers y 5 cartas de juego), están muy bonitas pero no las voy a abrir.

Basically, Balatro is a roguelike card game where the point of the game is to score points using poker hands to beat each round. The points required each time differ but get bigger and bigger as you go and earn you cash to buy cards and such to help you out. Its incredibly addictive and gives you a great feeling when you start to figure out what things combo well enough to take you to the win. Definitely worth buying no doubt 😎

Disclaimer: Once this game and its trippy soundtrack suck you in, there’s no way out. Check to see if days have passed.

Este juego es un ejemplo perfecto de lo que deberían ser los videojuegos, divertido y con jugabilidad casi que infinita. Solo una pequeña advertencia y es hablando en serio, si tienes facilidad con obsesionarte mucho los juegos tal vez deberías dejar de lado este ya que por su naturaleza puede que de verdad pases demasiado tiempo jugándolo porque es altamente adictivo, si no tienes este problema lo recomiendo mucho.

Excelente juego, muy adictivo y con bastante rejugabilidad así como con extras como las cartas que le dan un plus a la edición
