After playing Balatro on the Apple TV, it’s clear why it lost GOTY

Indie darling Balatro was nominated for Game of the Year at the 2024 Game Awards, and while it didn’t come home with the ultimate prize, there’s no denying the impact it’s had on a lot of people. I picked it up on day one on Steam and put 20 hours into it during the first week. While I’ve slowed down significantly since then, I recently decided to give it a revisit.
