Balatro

LocalThunk's poker roguelike may just have stole the title of February best indie game.

If Ben Starr in clown makeup is your thing, Fangamer's new calendar should be at the top of your wishlist.

Long story short: "I'm slow".

And PlayStation system architect Mark Cerny is one of them.

Balatro once again has been the target of anti-gambling concerns.

It had its rating shifted from 3+ due to fears of gambling.

It was one of many surprises during ID@Xbox Showcase.

Even after millions of copies sold, LocalThunk isn't changing up his lifestyle.

Last year's biggest indie hit has continued to sell like hot cakes.

Indie developer LocalThunk reflects on the importance of enjoying the creative process.

LocalThunk's poker roguelike has entertained us for months and never ceased to amaze along the way.

The cards are on the table, Balatro is out of aces, and PEGI holds the winning hand.

A poker game misunderstood?

Riding the wave of Game of the Year hype, Balatro, the poker-themed rogue-like deckbuilder, has just announced that it has officially sold 3.5 million copies.

But how's that possible if it has only been out for eight months?

LocalThunk is grateful for the affection from fans and the industry, but believes that Arco also deserves recognition.
