Balatro is like if chaos theory met stand-up comedy and they decided to throw a party in a circus tent. Imagine you're playing cards with a deck that occasionally catches fire, grows extra suits, or turns into a philosophical debate mid-game. That's Balatro.

The game's premise is deceptively simple: you draft cards to build the highest-scoring hand. But then it laughs at you, slaps on some wild modifiers, and whispers, 'Good luck with that, buddy.' One moment you're a strategic genius, and the next you're watching your carefully crafted plan unravel like a cheap sweater in a windstorm.

The art is quirky and charming, like something you'd find doodled in the margins of a mad scientist's notebook. The gameplay is fast, unpredictable, and oddly addictive. It's not just a game; it's a test of how much chaos you're willing to embrace in your life.

Final verdict: If you enjoy games that make you question your life choices and laugh at your own misfortune, Balatro is your new best friend. Just don’t get too attached to winning—it’s more about the journey, and that journey is a roller coaster with no brakes

Ever wondered what would happen if your deck of cards attended an art class during the Renaissance? Well, 'Ascension' is here to answer that burning question. Spoiler alert: my deck thinks it's Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel up in here.

As a deck-building enthusiast, I've seen my fair share of card games, but 'Ascension' took it to the next level. Forget mere shuffling; I was curating a masterpiece. Move aside, Van Gogh; my 'Mystic' and 'Heavy Infantry' are the new stars.

The game's mechanics are smoother than a Rembrandt brushstroke, and the strategic depth runs deeper than Da Vinci's mysterious smile. But beware, fellow players, the artistry is contagious. Soon you'll find yourself humming classical tunes and discussing the finer points of card placement.

In 'Ascension,' your deck is not just a collection of cards; it's an artistic expression, a tour de force of deckbuilding genius. The only thing missing is a tiny beret for my deck to wear while it contemplates its existence.

Move over Jules Verne, there's a new world traveler in town, and his name is me! '80 Days' turned my gaming experience into a hilarious escapade around the globe. Forget packing bags; I just needed my wits and a good sense of humor.

As Passepartout, I navigated through quirky encounters, unexpected detours, and a few too many choices that left me questioning my geography knowledge. But who cares about accurate cartography when you're having this much fun?

The narrative had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, and I couldn't resist the urge to choose the most outrageous options. Note to self: Always say 'Yes' to flying contraptions in a game set in the 19th century.

If you're a fan of witty dialogue, unexpected adventures, and the occasional questionable decision, '80 Days' is your golden ticket. Just be warned: You might laugh your way right off the map

"Golf It! is the only game where I can be a golf pro without worrying about my lack of actual golf skills! Forget the fairways; I'm navigating through loops, bouncing off walls, and aiming for the virtual water hazards like a champ. My golf ball has seen more adventures than I have.

Pros:

• Masters-level creativity in course design. I've golfed through pirate ships, haunted houses, and even outer space. Move over, Augusta National!
  
• Multiplayer madness. Because what's better than losing to your friends in a game of virtual golf and blaming it on the wind? Nothing.
  
• The rage-inducing joy of tricky shots. Just when you think you've nailed it, your ball decides it wants a scenic detour. Bravo, game designers!

Cons:

• My real-life golf skills haven't improved. I blame the lack of windmills on actual golf courses.
  
• My friends are way too good at this. I suspect secret training sessions.

Conclusion: Golf It! is a hole-in-one for laughs, creativity, and virtual camaraderie. If you've ever dreamed of acing golf courses without ever leaving your gaming chair, this is your game. Just be prepared for a few virtual sand traps and maybe some existential questions about the nature of golf itself.

Where's the exit?

Wanted to check out the hype. It's a fun game, a bit frustrating at times but well done. Better with friends though.

Great game if you just want to relax or when you're bored and the TV/radio/podcast is playing next to you. Put your mind on 0 and get those 3-in-a-row! Easy to pause and when you're at the end, you just start all over again but with a bit more meaty enemies albeit all the same.

This never gets old, still installed.

This is a good time filler. I liked the story, goosebumps here and there. The ending was alright, but I feel there's room for one more episode :)

Be in the shoes of the dispatcher, make the right choices, say the right things. Even in your home town!
