Poker Club
Poker Club on Nintendo Switch does a good job at providing a truly immersive poker simulation. Unfortunately the entire package of Poker Club isn’t great. The incredibly poor AI will teach you nothing in offline mode and the overall slowness of all action makes for a boring experience. Playing online is even worse, as players can take an impossibly long amount of time on each turn. It’s just painfully slow enough that you’d likely be better off just playing poker in real life.

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising their realism and attention to detail, particularly in character customization and animations. However, some players criticize the visuals for being glitchy and distracting, suggesting that the focus on graphics has come at the expense of user experience and gameplay fluidity. Overall, while the graphics are often described as stunning, they are not universally appreciated, with some players feeling that they do not compensate for other gameplay shortcomings.
“Amazing graphics, very realistic, and the emotes are great.”
“Good game, good graphics, good player customization options, similar pace (or quicker!) to playing poker for real.”
“With its nice 3D visuals, attention to detail with regards to emotes, customizing your player, etc.”
“The graphics and overall presentation of the game are quite unimpressive.”
“Graphics are bad and glitchy even at highest settings.”
“So even though the game looks amazing, it is very clear that they mostly focused on graphics instead of user experience.”

30%Poker Club Review (PS5)
Poker Club is fully functional, but a totally bland experience. You have many gamification elements implemented on top of the actual poker game, like the customization options and the clubs. But these do not bring added value, since they do not have real effects on the gameplay experience. Having fixed most of the technical and visual bugs that plagued the initial release, Poker Club cannot overcome the issues that haunt all the poker simulators. The unpredictability of the human element brings tediousness and a slow pace, without being able to replicate the thrills of playing face to face with another human being.
60%Poker Club Review
Poker Club is good for anyone interested in a very realistic looking poker sim with a big emphasis on tournament play. What you see is what you get, but it is much slower and more flashy than one might expect. The customisation options are impressive, but the beauty only goes skin deep.
