Synthèse des discussions
Texte original · AnglaisA poker-themed roguelike deckbuilder by solo dev LocalThunk in which you play (deliberately illegal) poker hands and stack Joker modifiers to beat escalating score targets.
Texte original · AnglaisBalatro is one of the most acclaimed indie releases of the decade: Metacritic 90 from 32 critics (100% positive), OpenCritic 92 with 100% of critics recommending, and Steam shows about 97.8% positive across roughly 199k reviews (Overwhelmingly Positive). Critics compared it directly to Slay the Spire and called it extremely addictive and easy to pick up; players echo this and most of the negativity is about RNG-heavy high difficulties rather than the base game. It is not early access, but the long-promised 1.1 content update was delayed into 2026 (developer declined a 2025 date to avoid crunch), which some players read as the game being slow-moving or abandoned. It sold over 5 million copies by January 2025, and later won multiple awards (Game Developers Choice GOTY, Game Awards indie and debut categories, BAFTA Debut).
Ce que les joueurs apprécient
- Texte original · AnglaisExtremely addictive 'one more run' loop: short runs, instant restarts, and big satisfying score cascades
- Texte original · AnglaisJoker synergies and combo-building (retriggers, scaling jokers, Blueprint/DNA-style engines) create wildly different runs and 'broken build' payoffs
- Texte original · AnglaisEasy to learn even for people who do not know poker; the run-info screen teaches hands visually and the game pulls in non-roguelike players
- Texte original · AnglaisJuicy presentation: screen feel, animations, sound design and the chill, catchy soundtrack are repeatedly praised
- Texte original · AnglaisDistinct pixel-art joker designs and overall CRT-like style give it a strong identity
- Texte original · AnglaisGreat value at about $15 with hundreds of hours of play for many, plus a huge unlock list (decks, vouchers, stakes) for completionists
- Texte original · AnglaisLow system requirements and wide availability (PC, Mac, mobile, consoles); short runs suit mobile and handheld play
- Texte original · AnglaisMade by one person, which reviewers and players treat as part of its appeal
Ce que les joueurs critiquent
- Texte original · AnglaisLuck dominates at higher stakes: players say skill matters less and run quality is decided by shop and joker RNG, with stacked RNG layers (shop, boss blinds, draws, probabilistic cards like Wheel of Fortune)
- Texte original · AnglaisAll-or-nothing blinds: missing a target by a hair ends the run, so losing is abrupt and feels bad rather than a slow, engaging struggle
- Texte original · AnglaisHigher stakes remove resources (fewer discards, less income, stickers) which pushes players toward a narrow set of viable builds (high card, pairs) and away from straights and flushes
- Texte original · AnglaisSome players find few meaningful decisions after the first few rounds once a build direction is locked in
- Texte original · AnglaisJoker pool dilution as more jokers unlock: many weak or non-synergistic jokers clog shops, with no way to banish or curate them
- Texte original · AnglaisSome find it designed to be compulsive rather than rewarding, leaving a flat or guilty feeling after wins
- Texte original · AnglaisProgress does not sync between platforms (for example mobile and Steam), forcing players to unlock everything twice
- Texte original · AnglaisFamously time-consuming: top Steam reviews joke about losing hours, 3 AM sessions and being unable to stop
Caractéristiques distinctives
- Texte original · AnglaisTakes poker hands as the combat system rather than fantasy combat, then breaks poker rules with jokers, so 'illegal poker' is the hook
- Texte original · AnglaisScore is a chips-times-mult multiplication, so scaling comes from stacking multiplicative jokers into exponential numbers (players joke about e-notation scores)
- Texte original · AnglaisPlanet cards upgrade hand types, tarot and spectral cards edit the deck, so the deck itself is reshaped in play
- Texte original · AnglaisInterest-based economy rewards saving money, creating constant spend-versus-save tension
- Texte original · AnglaisAppeals to non-roguelike fans: reviewers called it a roguelike for people who do not like roguelikes
- Texte original · AnglaisCultural crossover reach: free Friends of Jimbo cosmetic packs (Witcher 3, Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley, etc.) and a cameo in a Black Mirror episode
Points qui divisent
- Texte original · AnglaisWhether higher stakes are satisfying challenge (risk and planning) or just RNG tedium; some love Gold Stake, others call it the game's weakest part
- Texte original · AnglaisIs it deep strategy or a shallow dopamine machine? Critics praise layered systems while some Steam negatives call it not that deep
- Texte original · AnglaisThe addictive design: celebrated as pure fun by most, described as manipulative or guilt-inducing by a minority
- Texte original · AnglaisDeveloper cadence: praised for avoiding crunch, but some players are frustrated by the delayed 1.1 update
Répétition et contraintes
- Texte original · AnglaisGrinding stakes: players say one deck across all stakes, times 15 decks, means dozens of hours; one estimate cited 72 wins for the remaining decks' middle stakes
- Texte original · AnglaisGold Stake and above described as a slot-machine grind of rerolling the shop and restarting until a good joker appears
- Texte original · AnglaisRestarting repeatedly on hard challenge decks when shops offer no scoring jokers early
- Texte original · Anglais100% completion and some achievements are seen as requiring RNG luck more than mastery
Améliorations espérées
- Texte original · AnglaisCross-platform progression sync (promised on a roadmap per Steam reviewers, still requested)
- Texte original · AnglaisA way to curate the joker pool or banish unwanted jokers to fight dilution
- Texte original · AnglaisRework higher stakes and challenge decks so they demand skill and adaptation rather than more RNG and restarts
- Texte original · AnglaisReduce the grind of unlocking every stake on every deck (15 decks, many stakes)
- Texte original · AnglaisMore frequent content updates and communication about the delayed 1.1 update; the Matador joker and Blue Stake tweaks were previewed
- Texte original · AnglaisBetter balance of boss blinds, since a few are seen as run-killers with no time to pivot
Texte original · AnglaisLaunched Feb 20, 2024 on PC and quickly became a breakout hit (over $1M in the first 8 hours and 1M copies in the first month, 5M+ by January 2025 per Wikipedia). Steam revenue estimator puts gross revenue at about $95M (Boxleiter-style estimate, not audited) and the Steam-owner estimate at 2-5M. Mobile launched Sept 2024 and Nintendo Switch 2 version Feb 2026; Metacritic platform scores are 90 (PC, PS5, Switch) and 95 (Xbox). Controversies: PEGI raised it to 18+ for gambling imagery (later appealed to 12+ in Feb 2025), and YouTube age-restricted many Balatro videos in March 2025. Patch 1.0.1c made the game easier. The promised 1.1 update slipped out of 2025 and the dev says it will be done when it is done. Steam page shows ongoing strong review scores through 2026.

Texte original · AnglaisTier list Part 2 (2024)
Texte original · AnglaisBalatro is a solo-developed poker-themed deck-building roguelike that exploded in popularity seemingly out of nowhere. He argues the hype is justified: it is extremely simple to understand yet strategically deep, and it is intensely satisfying thanks to multiplicative score scaling. He recommends it to nearly anyone and places it in S tier. His main reservation is that it is currently unbalanced, though a joker-rebalancing update was imminent.
Ce que le créateur apprécie
- Texte original · AnglaisAmong the simplest deck builders: few keywords, quick poker tutorial, no poker knowledge needed
- Texte original · AnglaisSimple mechanics combined with deep strategy, which he sees as the best kind of design
- Texte original · AnglaisExtremely satisfying multiplicative combos and huge exploding numbers
- Texte original · AnglaisFast deck changes, frequent discards, and quick access to jokers make every run differ early
- Texte original · AnglaisRewards game-breaking builds without making them trivial, since you must understand the mechanics
- Texte original · AnglaisNormal difficulty goes effectively infinite so you can keep scaling until the game catches up
- Texte original · AnglaisQuick-paced runs that are easy to restart over and over
Problèmes relevés par le créateur
- Texte original · AnglaisCurrently pretty unbalanced, with lots of tweaking still possible
- Texte original · AnglaisSome runs feel normal and unremarkable unless you find and plan around a build
- Texte original · AnglaisScore beyond the target gives no extra reward, so huge numbers are purely for fun
Observations sur la conception
- Texte original · AnglaisPoker hands as the core deck-building twist, making it approachable to anyone
- Texte original · AnglaisExponential multiplier scaling as a central satisfaction engine
- Texte original · AnglaisEndless mode on normal difficulty means players chase breaking the game rather than higher difficulties
- Texte original · AnglaisDesign lesson: approachability plus strategic depth drove its broad appeal
Texte original · AnglaisTop 10 of 2024 (#1)
Texte original · AnglaisBalatro is a poker-based deck-building roguelike where you play poker hands to beat score targets across eight antes, modifying your deck, upgrading hands and collecting Jokers. He calls it simple to learn but hard to master, and names it his favorite roguelike of the year, placing it at number one. He especially values the variety of builds, the earned feeling of a powerful run, and a well-balanced endless mode with huge numbers.
Ce que le créateur apprécie
- Texte original · AnglaisSimple mechanics with deep strategy, which he sees as the foundation of a great strategy roguelike
- Texte original · AnglaisEvery Joker is unique, enabling many builds so runs feel different from each other
- Texte original · AnglaisPowerful builds feel earned through knowledge and timing, like in The Binding of Isaac
- Texte original · AnglaisEndless mode is enjoyable and addicting, and achievements still unlock there
- Texte original · AnglaisExponential score growth is implemented well and stays balanced despite many ways to multiply points
- Texte original · AnglaisAudio-visual feedback is very satisfying: the point-counting sound and the score catching fire at high numbers
- Texte original · AnglaisVaried starting decks and difficulty options give replayability and challenge
Problèmes relevés par le créateur
- Texte original · AnglaisReaching huge scores requires luck plus a lot of game knowledge
- Texte original · AnglaisNot every run ends in a monstrous build, though he says the gameplay remains fun regardless
Observations sur la conception
- Texte original · AnglaisPoker deck-builder hybrid where Jokers act as passive abilities driving build variety
- Texte original · AnglaisExponential growth is notoriously hard to balance in roguelikes, yet Balatro handles it better than anything he has seen
- Texte original · AnglaisEndless mode that is genuinely fun, with achievements still unlockable
