The variety in online competition is where the game truly shines. For those who get bogged down with some of the lingo, there is also a glossary of all the words those in the know tend to use (so you’re not completely lost when someone decides to fold in the preflop before going all in after the river is dealt prior to the showdown…or something like that!).ĭependant on your skill level and how much poker you’ve played, there are copious amounts of games and tournaments to keep you occupied. You are allowed to revisit this information whenever you like in the ‘Extras’ tab, along with a basic overview of the different segments of a game, including the flop, the turn and the showdown. The tutorials are plainly set out and easy to follow, with all the rules of how to play the cards and the chips structured in a clear and precise way. Pure Hold’em doesn’t assume that everybody who buys a copy of the game already knows how to play Texas Hold’em. VooFoo Studios have carried on the tradition of making the pub games we all love so much into realistic simulations we can play in our own home Pure Chess and Pure Pool were spot on in terms of realism, but Pure Hold’em is about as close to playing the real thing as you’re going to get without actually shuffling and bluffing in the flesh. Pure Hold’em is the first poker game to make its way on to the Playstation 4 and it probably won’t be the last however, based on the sheer realism and fun of my experience playing, it will take some beating to make a better poker simulation than this.
