I enjoy the challenge of the game. its not easy. When you do well, you get big scores. but i also just plough through tons of clearly losing builds cause i am bad at the game.
its the sort of game you have to play a lot to make progress/understand synergies but the games are also pretty short so its not a huge time sink
it’s the same thrill as vampire survivors or other run-based games with compounding bonuses. when you find a new synergy and your numbers start exploding, that’s a good dopamine hit.
Because poker?
ah yes. I love going to the poker table and asking to buy various joker cards to increase my score.
why do they look at me funny when I ask for a planet card? Why arent they giving me a tarot card?
Wait why are there so many people at this table, I thought this was a solo game?
… what do you mean I have to wager real money? I just wanted to battle various blinds.
poker!
Yeah I don’t see the point in the game it’s like the worst of poker and doing math to buy cards? But people absolutely love it which I can dig.
i love balatro
Serious question, What exactly is it that you find so enjoyable what am I missing?
