Hello everyone. Hope you all had a good week and relaxing weekend. I have been traveling all week so the only gaming I've been doing it playing Balatro on my phone. Have a great week

I personally think it rules, but I am aware that the hyper anime aesthetic complete with occasional fan service (though to a much lesser degree than other Kodaka games) is not for everyone. So, I don't blanket recommend it to anyone, but if you enjoy or at least tolerate that part of it, the rest of the game is tight.

One thing to know going through it is that the very first play through there are no meaningful choices (aside from a joke bad end choice). You don't get to the branching narrative until you experience the 100 days once through. But even that has an in game lore, characterization reasoning behind it, which I thought was pretty clever.
