    I bought this game on sale for 2 euroes-ish and I think that is a perfect price for it. It's a simple game that maybe sometimes makes you long for the deeper strategy layers of games such as Munchkins. It has humour, but it wears thin. The main point of annoyance is the number of buttons in the guis that involve you giving them more money. The fact that they don't want to give you a full game for 11 euroes is something they should be insinuating, not shouting in your face.

    Heya everyone, Disclaimer: Bought the game in sale and I have the physical card game. The og phisical card game is for my circle of frenemies the right amount of odd and fun. Thanks to the incredible art of the artist TheOatmeal. This game on the other hand is right at the beginning frustrating. First and foremost its there is no possibility to play this digital card game with a friendpass. There is non. For using the multiplayer features you need a third party account for a Bubbleplay.…

    It's almost unplayable with friends since the Quit and Continue buttons at the end of the game both kick you back to the main menu. How did that get through testing? This means you have to create a new lobby with a new code, and either reinvite friends or message them the new code AFTER EVERY SINGLE GAME! Very poor considering how much they charge for the game and DLC.

    Very enjoyable game to play with friends. Exploding Kittens first came out in 2015 as a card game. This one plays the same, but instead of being in the same room together, you can play it with your friends overseas. At the beginning of the game, the cards will be distributed, and there will be two exploding kittens you should avoid picking, or you'll lose. Of course, there are a few diffuse cards you'd better stack to avoid being exploded. The other cards are explained when you click on…

    Sorry devs, I really do like this game and would love to recommend it but there is way too much content locked behind paid DLCs. The standard game has very little in it and for over £10 I think they could have offered at least one free DLC. Is it a good translation from the physical game? Yeah very good to be fair. Simple enough UI and easy to play with friends. Graphics and sound design are very nice, though the music will begin to grate after a few rounds. Look if you can get it cheap,…

    Got as a gift to play with 2 friends after having played the first game in VRChat. Ultimately played 3 rounds and by the end of it was completely disappointed. The fact you have to remake the lobby every time is unbelievably stupid and shortsighted. Also, with 3 players (out of a total of 5) you don't even have an option to get/use the reverse order card OR the targeted attack card, meaning the person that's turn is before yours is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to attack. Also had issues multiple…

    Great adaptation of a really fun card game. I don't have any other friends who own this game, but that hasn't made me not like it. There are actually still heaps of people on the online servers and it is not hard to find a lobby, and even if you are struggling the bots are still really fun to play against. However I am sure playing with friends would by far be the best experience so do that if you can. I see a lot of people complaining about the price, especially of the DLCs, but it goes on…

REQUIRED to make a account to even PLAY online even tho they make it seem it's ONLY if you want to use the "chat" and "voice chat" features that don't exist (chat is limited to emote responses only). ai generated account pictures, the game doesn't do a good job at ALL describing how to play, requiring you to memorize all the cards and their functions and won't…

    I enjoyed playing this game. There were some moments where the UI was off a bit. We also had a hard time keeping our lobby going even though it was a group of us who wanted to keep going together. I did enjoy the battles to the death & would not be surprised if we play this game again in the future. Please know that to enter the game, you do need to enter in log-in credentials for the game's social component. This is relatively easy, but isn't announced well when you are looking into or…

    I think it is super fun and cutesy! Only downside is the price of the base game. You are forced to buy the dlc too if you want to have all "modes" and not just the standard deck, therefore I'd say it is too expensive.

    Multiplayer not done via steam but via "bubble" - a third party account. Yet cannot create an account either because the servers are down or just plain broken. Buying this game means you will be trapped in single player vs bots games. Unless the servers work that 1%. I was looking forwad to getting this game for a very long time but now I am just filled with dissapointment

    It crashed a couple of times for me and my friends while playing. The base game has far too little content, but there are a bunch of DLC's that are available. I don't think the base game is worth 11 euros (which is its price at the time of this review), but it might be worth if you buy it during a sale - it will get you a couple of hours of fun before becoming repetitive. It also requires you to create a third party account to play online.

    Exploding Kittens as a game is okay, but this is a horrible cashgrab. You pay for what feels like a free/mobile game with 1 mode, and have to pay 20 bucks (still 10 on sale?!) for more gamemodes. There's no cosmetics unless you pay for that as well. I didn't have issues connecting to my friends but having to make another account is so stupid. It's a solid refund for me

    Fun game! I like it a bit more than the first one, although there could be a bit more mechanics. It gets "monotone" (repeating) very fast and to be honest not worth buying for the full price (11 € base + 20 € for all game modes).

    I purchased this game because I wanted to have the same experience as the original card (board) game. I was extremely disappointed. You cannot play multiple DLCs at once. I started a 2 player game with a friend and the deck had 10 cards total. You have no control over which card goes in the deck, or any information about which cards are in the deck. It honestly feels like the game was developed by someone that never played the original. I finished the first game, and asked for a refund.

    Missed the tutorial? The developers decided there was no need for a progress reset button. Not a native speaker of one of the game's 5 languages? The developers decided you don't need to spend time reading card descriptions. Overall, the game isn't for newcomers unfamiliar with this game series

It keeps the same idea but adds cool animations, character customization, and online multiplayer. The game is easy to learn, so you can start playing almost straight away. The best part is playing with friends because every game is different and there are lots of funny moments. The graphics look nice and the cards have cool animations that make the…

    You have to log into this weird "Bubble" thing if you want to play with other people, it only comes with the basic deck and shoves into your face how much you're missing out on, and the marketing for DLC is so much it feels like an EA game. If you want exploding kittens either buy the actual thing or if you have a VR headset get Exploding Kittens VR, at least these won't shove a $25 pass into your face all the time

    Exploding kittens in all the traditions of the original physics game, ALMOST. I found at least three problems that clearly need to be solved: First, expand the possibilities of using cards in the game (combos of five, and the ability to discard cat cards one at a time, respectively). Well, and use the exploding kitten from your hand on yourself to, so to speak, heroically leave. Secondly, there are too few reactions! In the first part, there were funny text messages, even with personal…

    Exploding Kittens 2 is the only game where drawing a card feels like pulling the pin on a very confused, very fluffy grenade. The art looks like a hyperactive cat doodled it during a sugar rush, and honestly, that just makes it better. Gameplay is pure chaos—in the best way. One moment you’re calmly plotting victory, the next you’re blown up by a card that basically says, “Oops. Kaboom.” Multiplayer is a friendship-destroying joyride where betrayal isn’t just allowed—it’s encouraged. If you…

    I love Exploding Kittens, but, and this might be a computer issue, the game keeps freezing when I am in a multiplayer game. At random points the game will freeze and I will have to shut it off in task manager. I was playing with a friend and it kept freezing on both of us to the point that they refuse to play again. Another thing, it makes the fans on my computer go crazy. It's like I am playing RDR2 with all the noise it is making

    Exploding Kittens® 2, developed and published by Marmalade Game Studio, is a digital sequel to the wildly popular party card game that mixes ridiculous humor with high-stakes luck. At its core, it remains true to the original concept: a game of drawing cards from a shared deck and trying to avoid the dreaded Exploding Kitten. It’s simple on the surface but underpinned by strategic play, psychological bluffing, and a layer of cartoon absurdity that defines the franchise’s personality. With this…

    So many bugs. When you try to rearrange cards in the deck, it softlocks and you are stuck on that screen until you run out of time. Then it puts back the cards exactly how it was. When you try to draw a card, animation can get stuck and it takes a lot of time to take it. Sometimes the animation can get stuck forever and the whole game gets corrupted. Many other bugs similair to that. It's fun to play overall but these errors really ruin the experience.

    Hope you like having to google how to play because the game bugs out during the tutorial so you have to guess or use outside sources to learn how to play. Also, not very responsive to which card you want to play, if it does not know which one you want forces you to draw a card.

    The game is good, a lot like the card game. Yes, you need to make another account on a third party, but nowadays that's not an uncommon thing. Only downside is that you get kicked out of your current lobby every time the game ends. Would be nice to get an option to go back to lobby with your current players
