I’ve played it for too many hours to count, but gave up at the higher difficulty due to the uncontrollable RNG, you do have to reroll seeds if you want to beat it . Not sure if they reduced the randomness somehow
I bought it on Android and there are no in app purchases. Supposedly that was because it was going to be released as a demo with ‘pay to unlock full game’ functionality and that was canned for a full release. IDK about that but it’s the full game for 10 USD in my area
Well, I’m not in a Balatro-period right now, but when the itch comes back I’ll probably buy it for mobile as well.
Are you aware of any platform affordances that have been made for mobile in this release, or is it basically the same as the unofficial ports you can DIY?
The UI looks the same but it’s actually reworked to make it more compatible with touchscreens. Haven’t played too much but that’s a huge QOL thing I’ve noticed already
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.
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
I’m having trouble finding the link this moment but I remember reading about a billionaire or ceo public figure who is addicted to this game saying that productivity around the world will crash once this game was released on mobile platforms.
Edit: not some billionaire ceo. It was this link I was remembering:
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.
Fun game. I don’t usually go in for card games, so I ignored the hype, but this is a good one. Got to ante 4 a few times over the last couple of hours before rng killed me. I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth out of this one
Played it on PC and it’s really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.
I’ve watched the trailer and it doesn’t look good enough to justify buying the remake I think.
I also fear that I may just be too old for Metal Gear. I used to love them though and I’ve played all of them at least 3 times, except the fifth one which was just a huge disappointment.
I feel like Paleo Pines is a decent mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew, with just a tiny bit of ARK thrown in (Dino taming). The art style is honestly so freaking adorable and I can’t get enough of the dino buddies and all their little noises. I think the dev team might all be women, but I’m not 100% on that.
There’s a demo on steam that lets you play through the first three weeks, and you can save and continue, and your progress will transfer to the full game if you decide to get it.
Probably the best cozy game that I’ve played in recent times has been Thank Goodness You’re Here. It’s an incredibly quirky and zany romp through a northern British town full of lively characters and great visuals. The soundtrack is honestly probably one of the best OSTs around in recent years, too. Your only controls are movement, jumping, and slapping things to interact with them.
The entire game can be finished in about 3-ish hours depending on how often you stop to just interact with the world. I honestly can’t recommend the game enough, and I’m not even English.
