    Balatro is a great card game for beginners and veterans of the genre alike. At a cool $9.99 with hundreds of unique Jokers and other cards to collect, dozens of challenging runs to complete and further challenges, this is one of those rare forever games that's more than worth picking up.

    From its knowing mock 16-bit art style to the perfectly metered sound effects and music, Balatro is rarely less than utterly compelling and playing on a touchscreen is, if anything, slightly more intuitive than using a mouse or controller.

    Although Balatro looks great and is clearly very well designed, I do in fact wish there were some more options to make this mobile version friendlier for the small screen. There are other games that do Balatro's thing with enough of the same kind of flair while also adapting better, and if I'm going out of my way to play the mobile version, that is more important to me. Outside of the hype surrounding this game--which will fade--it shakes out to feeling like another great game to add to a pile of similarly great games.
