Balatro is extremely addictive, so much that fans are desperate for new updates, but LocalThunk confirmed he is quite slow at doing them. This is good however, because if he is slow that means that updates often offer more quality than something done quick to appease the masses. Balatro updates have always been exciting whenever they happened, and now 1.1 might be a huge event that revitalizes the game if it wasn’t enough already. Balatro has to be one of the best indie games in the market in recent years and the GOTY is well deserved. I just wanna play some more rounds.
Balatro is gonna get updated eventually
Give things their time and when they are cooked they will be better than something under cooked or overcooked due to stress. Developers need their time to think about what would be the right thing to do with their game, and LocalThunk has been thinking for quite a while on how to approach updates better. While there’s some competition in the market such as Aotenjo Infinite Hands, which is a Mahjong version of Balatro in a way, the bay remains cleared from potential competitors that might try to bring down LocalThunk’s indie empire.
Of course, he isn’t an indie anymore due to the massive amounts of cash that he earned from the game, but that does not mean he shouldn’t keep building and growing his game. We have to be thankful that we have something so addictive and that it actually causes no harm to anyone, nobody is betting real money, no micro transactions, no nothing, just pure unadulterated fun with no strings attached and at a very convenient price for those with tight pockets. If you want to unlock a new gaming addiction, you should really play this game, trust me, you won’t stop, I didn’t, nobody did.
