  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the inclusion of a good jazz track but expressing frustration over the limited options for changing music and the inability to select purchased tracks. While the ability to interact with other players through music-related features is a positive aspect, the overall music experience feels restricted and unsatisfactory for some users.

    • “I do like that you can compliment/insult the other players, and the little in-game store where you can use points to buy extra music and accessories.”
    • “It lets you buy things, but none of the music tracks I bought were selectable after I bought them.”
    • “I wish the option to change the music wasn't reduced; I tend not to have music enabled, but they had a jazz number that was very good and it was the one that they removed.”
    • “New music can be substituted for the old by renaming.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players often associate the quality of gameplay with the game's art style, leading some to hesitate in purchasing if the visuals are unappealing. While customization options exist for certain assets, the gameplay itself remains static, with some users expressing disappointment in the current offerings compared to previous iterations of similar games. Overall, opinions on gameplay can vary significantly, with some enjoying the experience while others find it lacking.

    • “While changing gameplay or adding features is not yet possible, some assets can be changed or renamed to customize look and sound.”
    • “Used to be one game with encore cards, used to be Hoyle games actually and was way better, with more character creation options and more games, without rigged gameplay.”
    • “If the art isn't good, I tend to think gameplay won't be polished either, and skip buying the game or wait for a 40% discount.”
    • “I least like the 50s gameshow art style and gameplay on Doublecross, but I've heard some people (like my great-aunt) say it's their favorite.”
    • “Used to be one game with encore cards, used to be Hoyle games actually and was way better, with more face creator options and more games, and no rigged gameplay.”

    • “They all have just enough sass and humor to make the games fun and interesting.”

    • “Now this game does have Harley the Bear, who is one of the best, but Gax, Miranda, Maurice, and the other really funny character, Langley the Lawyer, are missing.”

    • “The art style is vibrant and adds a unique charm to the overall experience.”
    • “The attention to detail in the environments is impressive and enhances immersion.”
