The reviews for this game are silly enough that I feel inclined to write my own. This game is fantastic and if you loved hollow knight there is nearly no reason why you shouldn't also love this. Combat flows so much better, the gameplay feels great to play barring some weird jank with the downward pogo sometimes (but even that gets fixed within 5ish hours of the game thanks to the option of different loadouts that change your needles playstyle), the music is better, the areas are better, the polish is OUT OF THIS WORLD (I haven't run into any glitches or problems at all!) and the game is just FUN.

It's also very hard, yeah. But people are way overblowing it. No, not every enemy in the game does 2 masks. Generally everything you would expect to do 2 masks does, and you heal 3 MASKS, and not only that, but can heal way more often. It's tough, but it's tough in a way that feels incredibly fair and fun to play.

I haven't beaten the game yet, but 19 hours in, and I just want to keep playing more. Team Cherry made an absolute MASTERPIECE here, and if you even enjoyed hollow knight a little bit, you SHOULD play this. People saying it's "too hard" or whatnot are just having a skill issue.

I can pretty safely call this DLC worth it now. While online is still kinda laggy, its a lot more dependent on connection now, and playing with friends or randoms with a good connection feels amazing with the input delay fixes! The item balance changes are also incredible, a complete net positive to the game. Considering its free, if you're playing singleplayer there is ZERO reason to avoid this, and if you wanna play co-op, it works decently well now.

EDIT: Holy crap this community is insane. This DLC is a strict upgrade to Repentance. You won't be missing out on anything except a few minor nerfs (balanced by WAY WAY WAY more buffs). There is 0 reason not to play repentance+.

For right now, I can’t recommend this despite my love for this studio and my hype for this game, it falls short in a lot of regards.

Performance is straight up TERRIBLE, the healing system in this game is the most questionably designed healing system I’ve ever seen in my life, bosses feel far too tanky and unfair, the parry system is annoying, and progression is confusing and poorly explained, leading me to feel mostly frustrated.

I do think they can fix all of this, but it’s gonna take a LOT of work to fix the game balance stuff. The base concept is there, the worlds are cool, the hoverboard is fun, but man… please fix it up :(

Now admittedly sure, I might be a little biased, but I've been seeing Pinapl work on this game for quite some time and its really incredible how its turned out. Genuinely really charming visuals and rewards a lot of experimentation! If you're a person who just wants to cozy up and make some silly objects, this is the game for you. Not necessarily my type of game fully, but I've been finding plenty of fun in the bit I've been playing. Looking forward to new content in the future!

This DLC is honestly quite overhated, the game was really bad at launch sure, but the games been fixed up quite a bit since then, with a commitment to fixing more and more bugs and rebalancing the bad items and jank with the survivors. I think I wouldn't recommend buying it until that patch comes out, but the moment that patch comes out, this DLC is worth it. I've been having a blast despite the problems, False Son in particular is really fun!

I'm going to be sobbing uncontrollably for the next few days

I mostly bought the game on PC to play Strawberry Jam, but I had to give it a review. I played through this whole game on Switch back in 2018, and it quickly became one of the best games I've ever played. Still to this day my favorite platformer of all time, and easily fits into my top 10 games of all time. Play the modded community maps after you beat the game, they're a ton of fun!

What a fantastic game. Make sure you play all the way to the true ending, it's the best way to experience this joy of an experience.

Balatro is a very exciting, albeit mildly flawed game that I am absolutely *obsessed* with. It's like poker, but you don't really need to know anything about poker, just about the complexities of how to put all these jokers to good use. Nearly 20 hours in and I still feel like I suck, but I'm steadily learning and improving!

That being said, I do think the game could use a little more replayability, mainly through content updates that add new jokers and new things to play with. It'd be cool if we could get special joker packs that put only certain joker types into the mix, to add some new types of synergies!

I could see the game feeling a little stale after a while, but I've already gotten more than my moneys worth anyways, so who cares? Buy this game.
