Just watched gameplay of unreleased game plants vs zombies 3 . Its so bad, original from 2009 is milion times better.

And same goes for all other games. Why are old games better than new ones, they dont put any efort today to make good quality game.

It looks like they just want to make it quick and cheap. No wonder games are so lov quality..

Sure, the pixelated look is "simplistic" but I don't feel it detracts from the gameplay. It's deep, your choices are interesting and significant, and it's oh so addicting. And most importantly, it's fun! I recommend it to friends and they think it's fun.

Balatro has received universal acclaim from game critics,[2][3] selling more than 5 million copies by January 2025.[4] Along with several other awards and nominations, Balatro was named Game of the Year at the 25th Game Developers Choice Awards and nominated for the top prize at The Game Awards 2024, the 28th Annual D.I.C.E.
