Good deal
I playedBalatrofor an hour, had a pleasant time, then uninstalled it. I know a trap when I see one. Perhaps you are made of stronger stuff than I am, however. Perhaps you like that monkey on your back. For you, there’s a new free update, which adds a second set of themed card art to the game inspired by the games Binding Of Isaac,Cyberpunk 2077,Stardew Valleyand Slay The Spire.
These aren’t new cards, they’re just card skins and so only make a cosmetic difference to the game. You can switch to the new card art via a new Customise Deck settings menu in-game. Or presumably a “Customize Deck” menu, but I can’t bring myself to spell it that way.
The first Friends Of Jimbo free update dropped back in August and likewise added card art related to four other games: The Witcher 3, Dave The Diver,Vampire SurvivorsandAmong Us.
While my time with Balatro was short, other treehouse dwellers here at RPS dove deeper into the decks. Katharine gave it a Bestest Best in herBalatro review, and made a strong case for the worthiness of spending time with it:
Sounds great! I’m still not falling for it, though. Sure, Katharine said all that back in February, but has anyone heard from her since?
