Good:
+++ Full controller support
++ Good looking
++ Nice, chilled music

Neutral:
~ Offers in-game purchases for card styles, chips and more
~ 10 achievements in under 1h

Bad:
- - - High retail price for what is offered
- - AI is not great
- - Very little features beside the core game
- No way to interact with the players, not even a chat
- Purchasing process for In-game purchases is broken
- No "look at played hands" feature


In conclusion:
If you want to play poker with a mouse and don't need the 3D graphics, there are better options for free with more features. I guess the game is all right, if want to sit on the couch with a controller and play just some hands of poker alone...
Wait till a sale comes around. 8-12€ would be okay price for it.

Wow what a terrible game. Can only play against the AI, not against humans. That wouldn't be so bad, except the AI is awful at poker. I mean really awful. For example, the AI telegraphs the strength of their hand by their bet sizing. Also, donk leads into you after you were the preflop aggressor mean either top or middle pair every time, so you can either bluff raise on overcards or fold if you have no equity.

Overall, it's just a bs cash grab imo. I've played a ton of poker in my day and this is hands down the computer worst poker experience i've had.

This so doesn't worth the price tag. It actually should be F2P. Really. Bought it during Christmas sales, and even then was surprised how terrible it is.

I had more fun with Poker Night at the Inventory and Poker Night 2, not to mention the F2P The Four Kings Casino and Slots.

There is no need to tell you about the negatives about chat or lobby or that you have to buy chips with real money. And I don't mean chips like skins or anything like that, which is also the case, I mean CHIPS TO PLAY WITH. What the f?

Did I also mention that the freaking camera is also nauseating? Also why can't I keep my cards always visible to me? That's just stupid.

Shame. Real shame.

A fairly attractive Hold 'em implementation - but lack of an online community really sinks this game for me. If I'm going to play Texas Hold 'em vs. AI opponents, then I will play Poker Night 2.

Predictable AI, slow play and useless in game purchases..

Bloody pointless to buy. AI's are stupid, and impossible to play online.

Terrible until player vs player is introduced .. So far all you get is "unable to connect to server" .. how fun is that for over $20?!

First- Pure Hold'em is a very enjoyable game- on console. However, for some reason, it ran very poorly on my PC. I don't understand how I can run Gears of War 4 at a steady 60 fps on high settings, but a poker game ends up looking like a slide show. My recommendation: get this game on PS4 or Xbox One (where I originally bought it), not on PC.

Saw this and decided to update. Keep in mind I still stick to off-line, AI play. I hear the multiplayer is pretty desolate to keep that in mind. However the performance issues have pretty much been addressed. I wish I could play it on the Steam Deck, though, but it gets stuck during launch.

This game is very slow and AI gameplay isn't realistic. Betting 10 chips into a 300 chip pot with the nuts. Also all the credits I earned for leveling up disappeared when I reopened the game. 600 credits gone.

Pure Hold'em's stunning graphics take me back to the feeling of being in a real casino in Macau.
