Balatro Special Edition

I recently got my hands on the Balatro Special Edition Switch Version, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my gaming experience!Overall:The Balatro Special Edition Switch Version is a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch family. Whether you’re a gamer or a collector, this special edition brings extra flair, exclusive content, and a superior experience that enhances everything from gameplay to aesthetics. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a premium, exclusive gaming experience. It’s a must-have!

I’ve never really liked or even played many roguelike/deck builders before, but as I was and still am a big Texas hold em fan I decided to get this after reading a review on Push Square.I thought it would be better to play on the switch as I can just play whenever and wherever I want.It’s highly addictive and I always try a winning run a few times a day (9 wins so far). It’s just a satisfying feeling when your multipliers work with the jokers and you get a massive score. Also liked the simplicity but yet the thought of skipping a blind, going for a better (but maybe not in the long run) joker, which cards to add to the deck, which celestial card to unlock etcCannot recommend this game enough!

Absolutely love this game. Such a simple concept, but really addictive. There isn't much in the way of graphics, but the gameplay is excellent.

This review is for Balatro on the Switch.This physical edition includes 10 playing cards. A pack of Jokers and a pack of Aces. This is the main reason I bought this. They are shinier and much higher quality than standard playing cards.It is important to note that this does not include any form of gambling at all. It is entirely single player, and offline. Chips are merely used for scoring puproses. It is a rogue-like game, so aside from the game keeping track of what decks and stakes you have won, everything is completely reset after each play. Everything you level up is for that run alone.The game itself is great, you make Poker hands with the cards you are dealt. You have set amount of hands to play, and discards for each round. You have various cards like Jokers, Planets, Taros, Spectral, and Vouchers that can increase your scoring potential, manipulate the cards in your deck, and otherwise help (or even hinder) your game progress.It takes a little getting used to at first but once you learn the Jokers and other cards, and know what works well and what to avoid, progressing through the game becomes a breeze. Until you get to Orange, then Gold Stake, then it gets a lot more difficult.The best thing about this is you can pick it up and play a run if you have a bit of spare time, on your lunch break or on the bus/train. Each game lasts on average 15-20 minutes, if you play to the end of Ante 8 and win the run. There is an optional endless mode should you beat the run. This allows you to get insanely high scores, which include scoring so high that the game can't even deal with the numbers any more!If you are looking for a fun game that you can play in short bursts, then pick this up. You won't be disappointed. It is my game of the year.

This game is super addictive and has so much replay value. It gets you thinking and if you like racking up loads of points, this is the game for you.

Great game to pick up and play for half hour or even longer

This game is amazing. A unique and compelling rogue like game. When it clicks you will sink so many hours into it. Please be careful. You'll sit down for a quick play at 10:00am on a Saturday morning. By the time you come round it will be 16:00 Sunday and your family will have left you. It really makes you want to have just one more play. It reminds me of Slay The Spire in the way its so enjoyable, addictive and somewhat punishing in the later Ante's (Levels, of which there are 8) Highly recommend, especially physically.

Honestly this is a fantastic game, could be the game of the year. Well worth a purchase if you like games such as slay the spire.
