in some ways, poker night two is a huge improvement over the first. the characters are better, the graphics look great, and the upgrade system is more intuitive. just like the first though, it is a fine, harmless poker sim. my biggest complaint is, as far as i know, you can not skip dialog, which is dreadful when trying to get the millionaire achievement. just kinda meh. the tf2 items aren't very good either
Overall a massive downgrade from the first game.
Instead of adding new features somebrаindead moron 1000 IQ genius at Telltale thought it was a brilliant idea to completely remove the player's ability to skip dialogue and subject them to half a minute of incessant autistic noises that at least two characters in this game make from time to time.
AI appears to cheat almost every hand and is inferior to the AI in the first game. You also can't change difficulty to stop opponents dunking on you with a flush/straight/three of a kind time and time again, because they removed that setting for some reason. It's absolutely ridiculous, they took a near-perfect game and made it worse in almost every single way.
The cast of characters is better in this game, I'll give it that, but other than that I have nothing positive to say about it. The whole drinking mechanic seems pointless and gimmicky and omaha poker frankly blows.
2.5/5
