Honestly, I thought this was a pretty fun game overall. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed projects by loserishome and Arkone, they’re both really skilled at what they do, and it just really shows here. But I’ll still be fair with my ratings.
Gameplay: 3/5
The gambling mechanics were fun, not addicting for me personally, but definitely a good way to unwind and just chill. I think there's room for more variety or added depth in the mechanics to bump it higher tho.
Graphics/Visuals: 3/5
The visuals are really consistent with the style seen in other projects by the devs. They’re simple but effective, and I personally like the aesthetic.
Story: 2/5
There wasn’t much of a narrative, which could have added more immersion. But anyway that said, I usually just want to jump into the action, so it wasn’t a huge issue for me.
Sound/Music: 1/5
This area could use improvement, the only audio I noticed was the accept sound effect. Background music or ambient sounds would really enhance the atmosphere especially since we're in a casino.
Controls & UI: 4/5
Simple and intuitive imo. I didn’t struggle with any part of the interface, which is always a big plus for me.
Performance/Technical Stability: 4/5
The game runs very smoothly. I didn’t run into any bugs or crashes, so it feels technically solid.
Replay Value:
I’d definitely come back and play it again. Blackjack is always a good time, and this version for sure offers a unique spin.
Innovation/Creativity:
I honestly have mixed feelings about the cheating mechanic, it takes some of the fun out of Blackjack, but I get why it’s there. For players with bad luck, it can be a helpful twist. Tho either way, the concept is super unique, and I never expected this genre to go in this direction. It works better than I thought it would.
Overall: 8.5/10
Not just because I enjoy seeing loserishome and Arkone collaborate, but because the game is genuinely enjoyable and something I’d come back to.
