The Sun and The Air

Balatro is interesting to me, specifically

I like:

But I took one look at the gameplay loop and knew it wasn't for me. Not sure if it's the reset-heavy nature of the scaling, or the lack of look-ahead info, or the way it favours plays that feel bad over plays that feel good, or...

Well it's probably all of that, but odd that I could see that without playing it myself and was able to dodge buying it. A rare moment of self-restraint.
