Review of Fool’s Pub for PlayStation 5

Fool’s Pub, brought to us by Nostra Games, cleverly mixes strategy with a dash of luck in this engaging multiplayer card game. Imagine yourself at a lively virtual table where you’ll find yourself outsmarting opponents from across the globe or engaging with bots that fill the other seats. Your mission? Master the art of deception or play it straight while navigating the dynamic cast of characters—rabbits, foxes, deer, wolves, and bears—who all vie for victory in this charmingly animated setting.

In terms of gameplay, Fool’s Pub keeps it refreshingly straightforward. Once the game kicks off, you’ll use the D-Pad to sort through your cards and select between one, two, or three cards to play with a tap of the X button, hurling them into play via the Square button. Want a closer look at your competitors or your own hand? The right analog stick ensures you can snoop around the table. The moment you suspect someone of being dishonest, fire off a “LIAR!” accusation using the Triangle button. Beware though—guess wrong, and you’re in for a nail-biting round of Russian Roulette, and the loser exits in a spectacular flutter of confetti.

On the trophy front, Fool’s Pub offers a complete and enticing list, topped with a coveted Platinum trophy. Thanks to the Cross-Buy feature, purchasing the game for $6.99 grants access to both the PS4 and PS5 versions at no additional cost, each offering separate trophy lists to conquer. The array includes 18 Bronze, 11 Silver, and 5 Gold trophies, with your first win unlocking a trophy. You’ll earn more as you skillfully play Queen, King, and Ace cards multiple times, utilize the Joker, call “LIAR!” nine times, and survive six rounds of the tense Russian Roulette.

In summary, Fool’s Pub skillfully combines cunning with chance, inviting players into a vibrant world where success means being the last one standing. With easy access on both PlayStation 4 and 5, players can enjoy this delightful card game across platforms while hunting down those shiny trophies.
