Amazing game. This is a game that gives you what you put into it. If you put a lot of effort into creating a story and motivation for your character, you can have a TON of fun. There are so many options for you to be the character you want to be. And this is before any updates, DLC, or mods. The game, as is, is the absolute worst state it will ever be. It will only get better with age.

Great game for long-time fans of the series. It feels like an evolution from the Dark Descent and encourages different solutions for the various problems you have to deal with. It's also just the right length to keep you coming back for a playthrough every Halloween.

Smash Up is a fantastic card game for up to four players. The basic rules are very simple. And as long as you have at least one person who knows what's going on, the game is very easy to follow.

Smash Up, the digital game, however, is a mess. It's still Smash Up. It's still kind of fun if you REALLY, REALLY like Smash Up, but the UI and the way you interact with the cards is horrendous. It's a mess. It's clunky. It's hard to follow. And, with what little experience I had with this game, not many people were playing online. That means you're stuck playing against bots. That means you're stuck playing against bots with the vanilla game's factions (plus Geeks).

I do have high hopes for the game, though. If they dramatically improve the user interface and add drag-and-drop functionality, this game could be a winner. It's frusturating that they failed to copy an already great existing UI - Hearthstone. Just copy that. I can picture it in my head right now. Copy that and you're golden.

I think hardcore fans of the card game will struggle to find a reason to stick wtih the digital version for very long. It's just not ready for primetime. And it's certainly not worthy of your $14.99. Pass... for now.
