Sunshine Shuffle

i am thankful this is a relatively short game, because it fails at the two things it sets out to do: -the visual novel aspect is, for the most part, uninteresting. the characters are layered, but the text speed (even on fast) and the way the information is doled out to you (the actual _pacing_ of the story) drain it of any intrigue. it ends up just distracting from the poker. which you think this game would need, because... -the poker element in this game sucks. i love me some texas hold 'em, i have for a long time, so this game is absolutely teeth-gnashing in how bad it is. no way to customize your raises, no going all-in to push your opponents. and the AI... as other reviews have said, it's awful. it's best to just turtle, and if you have something, just push hard until everyone either folds despite sinking half their stacks into a pot. once you realize the AI is kind of a crapshoot instead of actually playing good poker, you can start winning tournaments with no challenge at all. the character designs are cute, the setting is neat, and Billy is my dude (he seems like the only competent poker AI at the table). but for the most part, this game doesn't succeed at what it sets out…

I find reviewing short/cheap games very difficult. When there's a large cost or time commitment it's a lot easier to weigh it vs the quality of the product. Sunshine Shuffle works. That's probably the best thing I can say about it. It's not really trying to be a full fledge poker simulator and it's not really trying to be a deep narrative journey either. If it fully committed to both I think this might've been a great proposition. A sort of Poker Night at the Inventory with a deeper narrative structure. Unfortunately, instead of doing either story or poker fully it does a half measure of both. The result is the story often feels jumbled, the initial hook is pretty lackluster, and it's often not clear when scripted narrative conversations are happening. The tone does a lot of jumping back and forth between being a silly and campy story of bank robbing animals and gritty murder retellings told with the grief and tone of a dramatic novel. The result is passive story retention with a slap in the face every once and a while of something seemingly inappropriate. Despite the pretty bad presentation I think if there was a much stronger emphasis on the story it would have felt more impact…

It's an okay game i guess. I got all trophies. The story isnt that interesting. You should be able to go ALL IN if you have a good hand but NOPE this game wont let you do it unless you start running out of chips or the computer player does, when you or somebody else raises and the players has less than the amount raised, then that becomes the only time when you or someone else goes all in. The other time they go ALL In is when they throw money in for the small and big blind and thats the only money they got left. i could say more but i'll leave it at that. i'd give MIXED if steam had the option but im giving it a thumbs down

animal crossing poker. when sex update?

love it. great story you would never expect und Poker is just fun

a great game with a extremely interesting plotline i wont spoil, also works very well as an introduction to texas hold'em, i'd definitly recomend this to people wanting to learn how to play or just looking for an excuse to play.
