- The original Baldur's Gate leads Prime Gaming July free games roster - 27 June 2024
Baldur's Gate 3 unquestionably led the conversation in 2023. The standout Larian Studios RPG masterfully weaves the classes and settings of Dungeons and Dragons into a gripping, choice-driven story packed with memorable characters. But Larian's appointment for the role was long-considered, given the reputation of the franchise as some of the best PC games ever made, and now you can get the definitive release of the first, BioWare-developed, game in the series as a free game if you subscribe to Prime Gaming in July. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: If you love Baldur's Gate 3, the original RPG classic is less than $5 Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is getting a major update soon We got the co-creator of Fighting Fantasy to review Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Neverwinter Nights
- Forget Balatro, the best card game ever is on sale - 9 March 2024
As someone with two history degrees, I consider myself relatively hard to impress when it comes to historical videogames. I've gone on many a rant about the Assassin's Creed series and I've slated Call of Duty. Conversely, I've sung the praises of games like LA Noire and Plague Tale. Of all the myriad games I've played over the years, though, there's never been one quite like Card Shark , which is currently on sale. Step aside, Balatro, 2022's most underrated indie is coming for your head. Read the rest of the story...

- Card Shark tips, tricks and a new game by our studio - 29 November 2022
Card Shark Tips and Tricks We know that Card Shark can be difficult. The deck manipulation puzzles get particularly complex at the end of the game, sometimes requiring many steps of memorization and a robust understanding of certain card tricks. That's why we included a number of features in the Pause Menu to help struggling players progress if they get stuck. We're aware that some of these options aren't very obvious so our Devolver friend, Jean-Michel, created this video! It showcases a number of tips that you can use if you are not able to move forward or want a more relaxed experience. You can practice as long as you want before tackling a trick at a real table The Pause Menu contains your current objective and a list of controls from previous tricks You can change the difficulty which primarily changes how fast suspicion builds Turning Hints ON will show cards that you need to memo…
- The Art of Card Shark Dev blog and a new lowest SALE price! - 13 November 2022
On sale at a new lowest price of 30% off! When making this game, we honestly weren't sure if anyone would want to play it. We knew that the gameplay would not be for everyone. It's a game about cards, but not a card game. Deck manipulation puzzles are bound by real-life and not traditional game mechanics. It encourages you to think and memorize but under significant time pressure. Despite that, we made a game full of artistry that we are very proud of. If you want to support indie games that take ambitious risks like this, it would mean a lot to us if you bought or gifted Card Shark. Thank you to everyone who has already taken that plunge and experienced what our team has worked so hard on. Whether it was a game for you or not, we really appreciate your support! And to celebrate this new lowest sale price, our lead artist, animator and cheat, Nicolai Troshinsky, has written this detaile…
- We got a scam artist to critique Card Shark, here's what he thought - 19 July 2022
Card Shark isn't like other card games you might have played. I've been hooked on deckbuilders time and time again over the years, but Card Shark is more like a deck decimator rather than anything else. See, Card Shark is about scamming French aristocrats and trying your best to avoid death along the way. There are plenty of tricks within the game to learn and trick your opponents with—but just how accurate are they?.. Read more.
- Жизнь карточного шулера: Обзор Card Shark - 17 July 2022
Карточные игры всего за несколько лет успели превратиться из ниши для пенсионеров и скучающих клерков в динамично развивающийся жанр. И Devolver Digital , пожалуй, сделала для этого куда больше, чем остальные компании вместе взятые. Новый проект издательства подходит к азартной тематике под неожиданным углом. В Card Shark вы в роли помощника шулера должны подтасовывать карты и проворачивать другие трюки на просторах предреволюционной Франции. Иными словами, обманывать доверчивых и не очень богатых простофиль.

- Card Shark Version 1.1 - 10 June 2022
Thank you for playing Card Shark. We tried to make a game that was unlike any other but to do that, tough design decisions had to be made. While it isn't a game for everyone, we are so glad that many of you have enjoyed the experience for what it is. The tension and stakes, the learning and progression, the themes and presentation. These are just a few of the elements we wanted to convey and our players understand that. If you'd like to see how this game was made, you can watch the new mini-documentary that goes Behind the Schemes. We are also very grateful that you've stayed patient despite the bugs! Since launching last week, we've been hard at work to address the issues you reported here in the Steam forums, in our Discord server and on social media. We still have more improvements to make, but we wanted to get these ones to you ASAP. Version 1.1 includes these fixes and changes: Gam…
- Card Shark review: it's hard to deal yourself a good hand - 7 June 2022
Most video games about cards are deck-building strategy games. Digitised Magic The Gathering-likes. Card Shark is a card game about playing cards, and, more specifically, about cheating at playing cards. When I previewed it I said that it turned out I was quite good at cheating, but now I have played the full build I can report that I'm bad at that, too. The worst I can say about Card Shark is that it doesn't make failure fun. Read more
- Card Shark review - 7 June 2022
There are plenty of card games around at the moment. From Hearthstone to Inscryption, Slay the Spire to Monster Train, deck-building to set up lethal combinations is everywhere. But Card Shark is different. Card Shark is about cheating your opponents and being damn good at it... Read more.

- The Time for Cheating is Now - 2 June 2022
Card Shark is now available for everyone to play! We have brought together all sorts of ruffians, scoundrels and hooligans because a great opportunity has reached our midst. In Card Shark, you'll take the least ethical path to achieve wealth, fame and status by cheating your way up the aristocracy. But that path is also a dangerous one. The risks you take can leave you in worse shape than your humble beginnings or even take your life if you are not careful. From all of us at Nerial, we want to thank you sincerely for joining us on this journey to launch. Making a game is like manipulating a deck. Managing and fine-tuning each step to bring wonder out of what appears to be random chance. We believe we have created a unique and artful experience. To be completely honest, this isn't the type of game that typically performs very well on Steam. However, if you do enjoy our game, we hope that…
