There a particular reason for the “humanity is doomed” remark or just being dramatic? I looked it up expecting some sort of privacy nightmare or micro transaction hell but I really don’t see any mentions of that, hell reviews seem pretty positive.

That’s the joke, it’s so good everyone will be playing balatro instead of doi g anything else

I think it just implies that since it’s out on a platform that pretty much everyone has access to, global productivity will plummet due to everyone playing it and getting addicted

There is no more phone. There is no more world. There is only Balatro now.

the game is just pure fucking crack, this is like a redo of when Tetris first hit the US

I’m having trouble finding the link this moment but I remember reading about a billionaire or ceo who is addicted to this game saying that productivity around the world will crash once this game was released on mobile platforms.

My friend has 1000+ hours in Slay the Spire. A game that can scratch the same itch as Balatro. He has been playing on the PC and has claimed he will be splitting his time from now on. I too really like it, it’s a perfect chill game. I think a lot of ‘normie’ gamers are picking it up since the game is so easy for some to pick up as one main mechanic is just knowing poker hands. My dad who plays Tetris and solitaire really likes it.

It’s like you start a game and within a blink of an eye, 5 hours have passed.

Great game
