Balatro is a Metroidbrainia.

Blue Prince is a metroidbrainia in the mould of Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn—two titles I do not invoke lightly. Far more than it appears on the surface, it's an undeniable classic. You'll be thinking about Blue Prince for years.

I reviewed another book! Read my thoughts on "Fight, Magic, Items: The History of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the Rise of Japanese RPGs in the West" by @aidanis.fun.
