Balatro getting nominated for two separate GOTYs is wild (in a good sense)
I don't understand the appeal of this game. Played it for a couple of hours because it got hyped so much. What makes this game so fun for people?
I mean, fun is subjective. For a lot of people Balatro strikes just the right spot between strategy and randomness, and is very replayable. It's perfectly okay if it's not your cup of tea, though.
True. It's just that I usually like these kind of games. It's probably just me.
