Better than the sequel purely because of the better cast of characters. Not to mention that it legit feels like you are playing Poker with your favorite (or those who should be your favorite) characters.

Just like Poker Night 2
The game is fun to play, just a fun way to play Texas Hold Em.
Would be nicer if they had multi-player but still a fun single-player game.
I had the 2nd game first and ended up winning a giveaway for this game which was nice.
I wanted the game mainly for the TF2 gear.

I have no idea how to play poker and somehow this game is still fun. You also get free ♥♥♥♥ for TF2 so what's not to love?

Poker Night at the Inventory isn't an all encompassing poker game. You can only play no limit Texas Hold 'em, and you always face the same four opponents. But playing poker is only half, hell, maybe less, of Poker Night's appeal. The real reason people should go out right now and pick up developer Telltale's latest effort is for the characters. Poker Night is hilarious, featuring cleverly written banter coming from some of nerd culture's more recognizable faces.

Poker Night is a Texas Hold 'em simulation with four choice characters from gaming culture. Players join Tycho of Penny Arcade fame, The Heavy from Team Fortress 2, Homestar Runner's Strong Bad, and Max from Sam and Max at a table in a secret poker club called the Inventory. After a brief introduction to the club the player is at the table with the characters, playing Hold 'em until they either beat everyone or go out. Occasionally the other characters will have no money to put up, and will offer collateral, which can be used for aesthetic reskinning of items for various TF2 classes. Winning enough hands also unlocks new tables and poker decks for use, but doesn't change the type of poker you play. You always play with the same people and everyone always starts out with $10,000. That's it. That's the entirety of what you'll experience as far as gameplay is concerned in Poker Night. If you lose, you just start another game.

Over time the funny dialogue will start to lose its charm as it repeats, but you can limit it or turn it off completely after you've heard all there is to hear over the course of a few hours. It'd be easy to feel disappointed, or cheated by how short a time it takes to hear all the jokes, but the reality is that this is a small, five dollar download. It comes with all the polish I'd expect from Telltale, and while it only features Texas Hold 'em, is a really entertaining way to kill some time, especially if you want those TF2 unlocks. It may not be the best poker game out there, but it is definitely the funniest. And, as most people will tell you, a little humor goes a long way.

This game is precisely what it claims to be - poker with interesting characters that have amusing dialogue during play. Probably won't be enjoyable if you have zero interest in poker, but might be enjoyable if you like poker but are not familiar with the characters. It also has a guide to poker, so you don't need to be familiar with it, the game will teach you how to play.

A few hours in, while some of the conversations are repeats, there's enough variety that it's still cool to listen to. I especially like the occasions when Strong Bad manages to get on Tycho's nerves. In general, Tycho has great lines, Strong Bad and Heavy are good, and Max... not so much.

In terms of atmosphere, the visuals are good and consistent enough between the characters, and there's nice relaxing background music. Some of it sounds like a jazz-lounge version of the Team Fortress 2 music.

Overall, I quite enjoy the game.

Good stuff, lame comments though, repetitive

Bought for the tf2 items, stayed for the poker, conversations between characters, unlockable felts and decks, and the fun
