![]() We found ourselves going ‘all in’ again and again, just to alleviate the tedium of it all.ĭoing so, however, only revealed the final nail in the coffin – that the AI is as erratic and foolish as you’d expect 3/4s of the characters to be. Within four or five hands you’ve heard all the different ways that the cast has of declaring folds, calls or raises. ![]() To make matters worse, there’s not enough variety in the script, and those flat, unconvincing performances start to loop like a broken cassette tape. Tycho is especially bad and, in trying to play the role of an aloof and sarcastic genius, sounds more than ever like a pompous, self-important boor. The script is so transparent that we’re surprised the voice actors were even able to read the text.

It costs less than £5 and that’s even before it goes on some ridiculous Steam sale or gets bundled in as pre-order incentive for a game you actually want.
