The chips are down and the ante is up in this sentence already bursting with poker clichés! Take the fifth seat in Poker Night 2, at a table featuring Claptrap (Borderlands 2), Brock Samson (The Venture Bros.), Ash (Army of Darkness) and Sam (Sam and Max series).
The poker AI is good enough that I find it fun and can be a bit challenging, depending on your skill level. The various character's silly chatter and cutscenes really add some personality to what otherwise would just be playing texas holdem or omaha. The unlocks are a nice addition too. Unlocking new decks, collectables, etc. for accomplishing certain things gives you goals and more purpose to the game.

Came for the TF2 items, stayed for Brock Samson, Ash Williams, and GLaDOS roasting each other at the poker table. Cleaned them all out and 100%'d it. Huge shame they delisted it

Can we all take a moment of silence for anyone reading this review and thinking,
"That actually sounds amazing. I'll buy it."
YOU CAN'T. It's gone. Delisted. Vanished from the Steam store like it owed Valve money. Congratulations, you're now emotionally invested in a game that's about as purchasable as a unicorn riding a shopping cart. Now let's address the elephant sitting at my poker table. My luck. Or rather......

The only problem with the game is you can't turn down the amount of time they spend talking. Repeating the same jokes a dozen times gets old after a while; it'd be nice to just play the hand and not have to wait because the game wants you to hear the same story about max's super ego again and again and again. Aside from that it's exactly what you'd expect from poker night 2.0.

very good sequel to the original, added new interesting mechanics like buying drinks and omaha hold em, bounty prizes are now behind objectives instead of totally random like the first game. its a bit unpolished though and there are some bugs here and there, even though theyre not game breaking.. 7/10

Its like playing poker except every choice you make is ridiculed
The comments from the other players/host are amusing for awhile but quickly get old.
I can't really recommend this game but I also won't *not* recommend it
