Balatro is an incredibly creative and well designed rogue-like deckbuilder. Built around hands of poker; it becomes an absurd venture into creating the most ridiculous combinations of pairs, straights, flushes, etc. It's thoughtfully designed and perfect distraction if you have ~30 minutes. What keeps this from being a 5 for me is it's lukewarm progression. I love a good roguelike with a progression system. Balatro offers some of this with unlocking new jokers, but not enough to keep me engaged long-term.
