thought this game was ok. it's no fun. i only got interest because of prime loot. the game is dominated by a very small number of decks and you quickly grow tired of the same cards making the same plays. the pace of play is often excruciatingly slow from other players. one game a day is all i can stand. "studying" the cards, mechanics and strategies to "get better" is a waste of time. the game is effectively dead. i don't mind playing dead games if they're at least fun. this isn't. i do the absolute minimum to get some keys and that's all. can't recommend this game anymore.

this games 100% relies on your fast twitch muscles and reactions to pull of those sick combos on the sticks, so clearly it is not for me. that said, it appears to be a really well done free game with quite a large following. the graphics are excellent, the heroes are fun and there are lots of nice ways to accessorize. they offer regular free loot via prime gaming. solid fighting game you can play with friends even offline. would recommend.

it looks great and seems like fun. i'm horrible at nearly every video game and i have yet to get past the 1st round ever in nearly 2 hours recorded game time on steam. can't say it's very fun for me, but it's cool looking and as long as they have prime gaming rewards to claim, i'll show up every now and then to take my licks.

it starts out easy, which is fine, but after you do it, there's nothing in the game that makes me want to do it again. fun concept. it looked cool enough, but playing wasn't that fun, tbh. maybe with a bunch of drunk pals this game gets better? who knows. i've already got 6 lifetimes worth of games installed on my pc so i don't see myself spending much, if any, more time with this one.

tutorial is trash. if you've played hearthstone for 8 years or w/e i'm sure you know what's going on, but if you haven't, then you will find the "tutorial" to be lacking. i don't have time to learn this stuff. this type of game isn't for me. only game i've ever played that had a good tutorial and practice/skills training is rocket league.

it's like rocket league except 10x harder. i basically washed out of the tutorial. no thanks. if you really love hockey, competition and sports games along with being "goated on the sticks" this might be for you. since none of those apply to me, i didn't go further than the tutorial, which was at least useful. will stick with stinking at rocket league.....

basically a bejeweled rpg, but it's a decent little game that you can grind. ez to play on steam and mobile, plus they make it simple to link your acct to each device. really accessible game but there is plenty of strategy and complexity to discover as you level up. reminds me a bit of raid shadow legends in some of the structure. lots of ways to spend money, but in-game ads and offers aren't popping up constantly like in raid. based on in-game chat, it looks like this game has many players who have been grinding for YEARS. no extreme pc/phone needed to play, no fast-twitch muscles needed. if you want a match-3 type game with strategy and grinding, this is worth looking into. i did about 230 hours before i stopped playing. the kingdom quests are critical for advancing in the game and they are DREADFULLY BORING. keep in mind that i played raid shadow legends daily for over a year. put a hot piece of rebar through my skull boring. i couldn't take it anymore. the only really fun part of it was the treasure hunt mini game. worth trying, just know what you're getting into.

i think this is a well done online poker game. putting in missions and levels keep you engaged, as designed. the optional expectation indicator is helpful at times. the online players' skill is about what you would expect from low stakes games using fake money. the graphics, game modes and pace of play are all pretty good. i would play online fake money poker about once every few months and this game has kinda sucked me into playing almost every day. i wouldn't recommend it as a serious game, but if you like to dabble with some hold 'em it is a good time. after you play awhile, you recognize quite a few of the players from previous games, which adds something to the competition i think.

i have flip-flopped on recommending this game just because of how fake the deals are. if you enjoy getting your chips in 70% favored and winning 15% of the time, you will enjoy this game. if you don't, you will find it very frustrating at times. even with all that, i still find myself playing just because i enjoy the gameplay (such as it is) and the structure. i like doing the missions and trying to rank up in the various modes.

if you play poker for real money, or ever aspire to, i would not recommend as the adjustments you will make to advance in this game will make you worse at "real" poker.

this game is a pretty advanced shooter with multiple layers of complexity. they do the guns very well, imo. the tutorials and "training" are kind of a joke unless you have considerable experience and familiarity with this type of game already. i tried to learn some things, but it all goes out the window when you jump into a game. i'm a tripwire fan and have followed this game a bit. the devs are still trying to improve this game. i think it is worth picking up for advanced players of BR's or Arma3 games like that. I wish there could be better training in these games to prepare you for actual gameplay. good game for the right type of player, it deserves a larger player base imo.

super fun to play and i LOVE that it has a tutorial and freeplay feature so you can figure out how to work all the controls at your own pace. many games only let you figure out how to play right in the middle of a wave of zombies, or something like that. simple and fun, but not easy, so there is plenty of gameplay in this one. accesible for the novice, like me.
