I miss Telltale...

Feels weird having spent 90 hours playing the game against the same bots, knowing their tells and hearing the same conversations over and over again but I don't seem to get tired of it. Also gave me wonderful cosmetics for TF2!

Pros: -Play Poker with silly characters of different franchises. -Customize table, accessories, and venue. -New option to play Omaha. -Unlock TF2 items via character bounties. Cons: -Ash Williams doesn't act like Ash Williams at all. -Claptrap is and always will be awful in everything it appears in. -There's dialogue every other move & they removed the option to reduce the banter; You can only get relief by muting the character voices, but you still have to watch the animations before being able to make a move. It also causes softlocks that require restarting the tournament. It can only *occasionally* be skipped by right-clicking, which is never explicitly told to the player IIRC. -Most of the jokes aren't funny. -All of the characters are excessively negative towards the player, to the point that making a basic move will receive completely unjustified criticism. (No, Patrick, every character randomly being a jerk doesn't make the game more realistic nor enjoyable.) -The AI might be contrived. In my view, there's almost no reason why I should play this over the first Poker Night game.

This game is worth quite a lot now.
