- Carefully simulated, but understandably small in scope. The way that the card games are integrated into the play mode is thrilling and fits well with the modeless RL style. The town's NPCs bring it to life and offer something outside the card games, but it's deflated somewhat by the lack of an overall goal to work towards.
- It's kinda hard to judge this one. I really wanted to like this game as Wild West theme is underexplored theme... Yet nothing really works in that game. Combat is cluncky - but OK, maybe that's not game about combat. Let's try poker, then... I was close to just discard that game because even on the poker table I could only wait, yet... I discovered that player needs to actually *target* a poker table to play. The game itself is quite fun, even if interface needs more work. But the biggest problem is the discoverability of the game mechanics.
