(Seriously though, I've been hooked on it since February and I can't put the game down. I paid for it on Android and on Switch and I'd happily pay full price for it again.)
And addictive!

Poker with a unique twist.
I tried it because it was free on PS+ some months back. I, too, thought it was a ridiculous concept, and it should be no more addictive than Solitaire was on Windows PC's of old.
I was wrong.
Is Balatro a good game? Yes. But is it a great game? Also yes. But should you play it on a console? Probably not, get it on your phone instead, it's one of the best phone games ever.
Playing it on Xbox on the main TV works well for me because I'm limited to how long I can play, the family will start bugging. If I put this on my phone, I'm gone.
this is so much smoother on a touch screen or tablet
using buttons can get very tedious on runs

I played this game quite a bit maybe around 30 hours or so. 99% of the time you're chasing after the flush. of course it depends on the deck and jokers you have but i say 80% of time, you're chasing the flush. Feels that it should somehow balance it to play other strategy.
