  • Summary: At the end of the 1800s the government declared a global ban on this legendary card game due to an increase in bar fights, divorces, and family feuds. It was political correctness gone mad.

    Awkward is the ultimate test on finding out how well friends, couples, and family know each other.
    At the end of the 1800s the government declared a global ban on this legendary card game due to an increase in bar fights, divorces, and family feuds. It was political correctness gone mad.

    Awkward is the ultimate test on finding out how well friends, couples, and family know each other. Players are asked to answer increasingly uncomfortable questions in secret, while their companions try to guess the outcome.

    One to six players can join in, with a huge selection of game modes on offer. Play cooperatively, as teams, competitively, or solo players can play alone to guess how the rest of the world fared with Awkward's controversial questions.

    Awkward is exactly that, awkward. This is a game that’s hellbent on testing your relationship with those playing by your side. On that front, it can be a blessing and curse depending on how well you can take a joke. Despite becoming repetitive before long, it’s very easy to play, which makes it quite an accessible experience. Though, by design, it’s likely only going to appeal to a specific crowd.

    Awkward most definitely does as the name suggests. In fact, I’d go as far as to say this is one game that is highly unsuitable for a family birthday. But for a group of mates on the beers and looking for a laugh? It does a reasonably decent job, at least for 5 minutes.

    Snap Finger Click the developers and Publishers for Awkward have had previous games with Act it out and IT’S QUIZ TIME! And they have beenSnap Finger Click the developers and Publishers for Awkward have had previous games with Act it out and IT’S QUIZ TIME! And they have been rather successful at it, but I assume when this idea came along they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, or even the possible backlash they may receive as I expect the people who love the above games mentioned may decide not to go with this certain developer in the future. I on the other fell in love with this game straight from the start, the start up screen hadn’t even loaded up yet an unusual message appeared...

    I didn’t take a step further after that, I set my controller down said to my girlfriend, ahhh maybe we shouldn't play this alone. So I had a few friends come aver and play it with us, and we played it for hours and we never laughed so hard at a video game, Everyone playing sides were hurting or snorting from laughing so hard. I would highly suggest that you don't play this game with anyone under 18 and must be able to soak up the humor. So be prepared to be asked some rather personal and uncomfortable questions asked of you. If you are offended easily then don’t play Awkward. I on the other hand give it a good thumbs up! I truly enjoyed it.

    Awkward is a card game all about guessing what other people thing..
    This game can be played single play or with up to 6 players across 4 different modes..
    Solo where you will be guessing what the majority of the world would choose, co op where its about who knows who the best, team play where players are divided into 2 teams to see who knows their teammates the best, and then there is is matchup where every round youre paired with a different player trying to see which player knows every other player the best…
    as you could imagine there can be a bit of strategy here, trying to trip up the leader by going against what you actually think…
    This is one of those games that really is only fun with multiple people…
    Howver if youre going in solo there is a really easy trophy list here with 6 gold trophies and 9 silver trophies complete with a platinum, and with the new sony rewards thing going on where you can earn games and gift cards with trophies, this helps sweeten the experience…
    Otherwise there really isn’t much to see here…
    or much fun to be had…
    This game is only worth playing if you have multiple players or care about trophies
    even then it gets dull pretty quickly and it doesn’t take long for questions to start repeating..
    I give Awkward
    a 5/10
