User Reviews

Balatro is widely praised for its addictive, deep deck-building RPG gameplay and strong cross-platform appeal, delivering long-term engagement and positive sentiment. The main recurring downside is unreliable progress saving and cross-device data synchronization, including issues when transferring between Apple Arcade and the regular version. Despite this, players enjoy the content, balance, and variety, often calling it one of the best mobile games and noting it shines on multiple platforms.

Pros

Addictive roguelike/deck-building gameplay with a lot of variety and 'one more try' appeal
Cross-platform availability and strong mobile experience (PS5, Switch, iPhone/iPad)
Long-term engagement with many unlocks, stakes, and achievements
Satisfying pacing, feedback, and overall balance that keeps players hooked
Positive overall reception and high praise from players (peak gaming, best game).

Cons

Progress saving and cloud sync across devices/versions is problematic, risking lost progress or unsynced data

I practically never write reviews but this game is worth it because it is absolutely incredible. I’ve only been playing for 2 months and I’m completely addicted because of how good it is. The gameplay doesn’t feel repetitive, theres zero ads, and watching the big number get bigger feels incredible. The only flaw is that hasn’t updated in a year but it’s still amazing. However there is ONE very large flaw in this game(that hasn’t happened to me enough times for me to care) and it is that sometimes data will not save. I once won a red stake run on ghost deck getting extremely far into endless for me(ante 17) and when I attempted to load up a green stake run the next day it did not save my progress. This is a absolutely horrifying bug because imagine if this happened during a gold stake run on something like black deck. I would be heartbroken if something like this happened to me in an important run. Its only happened once to me so far because normally just reopening the app fixes the save data so I am keeping the review at 5 stars but it would be very nice if it could be fixed. Actually I keep coming back to this review because there is different, much smaller issue that I would also like to be fixed. If you are in a blind and you exit to the main menu and re-enter the blind, the required score and the blind token just completely disappears off my screen. This is sometimes really irritating when I’m purposefully not trying to win so that I can farm money or use tarot cards. Once again, this isn’t a large enough issue for me to lower this to 4 stars because this game is truly incredible otherwise, but I would appreciate these issues being fixed.
