Brexit: The Real Deal

Brexit: The Real Deal knows it should not be treated as serious political simulation. Unfortunately, that is also its only joke.

Brexit: The Real Deal does not ask to be taken as a serious political simulation, and quite right too. The box at least suggests a light satirical evening; that suggestion is probably the best joke it has.

Once opened, the humour evaporates, leaving content that seems to have forgotten why it exists. It is nonsense, without even the small spark of wit or entertainment needed to justify the provocation. Stay away.

Stay away.

  • Review Rock Hard: 1977

    Rock Hard: 1977 is handsomely produced and reasonably committed to its theme, but beneath the polish sits a bland push-your-luck exercise that leaves chance doing the heavy lifting.

  • Review Stress Botics

    Stress Botics conceals an interesting economic game beneath layers of rules, exceptions, and mechanical clutter. Its hand management deserves attention; nearly everything around it seems determined to punish that attention.
