Dinsun Review
Pitch is a fine game if you're at a bar with friends and a physical deck. Digitally? This version is an eyesore. The AI is predictably erratic—sometimes playing like a genius, other times throwing the game for no reason. For a game built on bidding and strategy, the lack of a competent computer opponent is a death sentence.
I’ve played better versions of this on Windows 95 shareware discs. The interface is clunky, and the 'customization' options are buried under layers of unintuitive menus. If you’re a die-hard fan of Pitch and have no one to play with, maybe you'll tolerate this. For everyone else, it’s a pass. It’s too conservative for its own good, clinging to an aesthetic that should have died twenty years ago.
