Balatro has been one of the most popular games of the year. After taking home three awards at The Game Awards and selling a jaw-dropping amount of copies, Balatro has proven itself to be an indie hit. The roguelike deck-building card game was crafted by a solo developer known only as LocalThunk. Although the Canadian developer wishes to remain anonymous, LocalThunk has been quite vocal on social media, especially when it comes to how the PEGI rating system gave Balatro an 18+ rating.
