Honestly, the PEGI 18+ rating for Balatro feels a bit over the top. I get that it’s a roguelike card game and there’s some dark humor and themes, but come on—how does that compare to something like EA Sports FC? That game has its fair share of aggressive marketing and questionable practices, yet it’s rated way lower. It’s like the rating system is stuck in the past, not really reflecting what’s actually in the games. Balatro’s got its quirks, but it’s not like it’s pushing boundaries in a way that warrants such a harsh rating. Just feels like indie devs get the short end of the stick sometimes.
