Epic

I first heard of Thronebreaker 1 year ago back when it was announced. I didn't expect anything at all from the game and bought it one day before release just out of my sole interest for the Witcher universe, since I consider it the best among its peers - LotR and aSoIaF alike. Now, after 30 hours, my expectations are fulfilled manifold. If you share my enthusiasm for fantasy worlds and Witcher in particular - this game is for you. Gameplay, which is Gwent, isn't for everyone. It didn't hinder me nor did I love it. What makes the game is the story and visuals. Some of the best artists work at CDPR and their work I find astounding - very fitting for the universe. While not having much visual representation, it still manages to immerse you via superb voice acting and sound effects. Music is, as customary to the Witcher, 10/10. It feels like a good book and leaves much to player's imagination without setting bounds due to gameplay limitations. Is that a good thing? Depends on your imagination. Hopefuly the sales are enough and they start working on the next tale. P.S. Gernichora from Ysgith is the most atrocious and terrifying creature the art team has designed in all 4 games. Well done.

Great Story, utterly easy gameplay

Ah Thronebreaker... After months of waiting it has finally arrived along with Homecoming (which I leave OUT of this review). After finishing the game here are some thoughts (version 1.0); The game is set in the pre-witcher era, centered around the ruler-Queen 'Meve' of Rivia and Lyria. It connects to the eventual 'battle at the bridge' where the Geralt of Rivia storyline starts. The game transitions between dialogues, where you make some tough choices, open maps which you can explore and loot and alot of Gwent fights in between. In alot of ways the game plays like a Telltale series game, with Visuals similar to some Telltale games (realistic shellshaded cartoony). The visuals and story are a great adition to the universe. The choices you make have short and long term consequences which is also nice. Now for the Gwent gameplay in between... On this I am torn. The concept is you can build your own army, by adding units (which turn into cards) to your deck, depending on gameplay choices some units stay, some go. The mechanics are a little different from the multiplayer Gwent, but very fun. Some fights are standard Gwent battles, others are puzzles with special rules. However, after the first chapter it seems like as you 'build' your army/deck, the enemies retain their weak cards/decks. There is NO challenge at all. I played this game on the 'hardest' difficulty, and at times it felt like I could win while playing with my eyes closed, having 5-10x as many points on the field as my opponent. This HIGHLY undermines the overal gameplay. Resources, carefull management are all redundant because you win anyway... The looting system also is not balanced, I ended the game with around 20.000 gold, having unlocked everything. Why would you care to loot after this point? Sometimes the game throws a 'hard' decision at you in which you lose some gold for example. This is never a problem though...

Not Gwent

Was every excited to play a Gwent adventure game. Turns out it is not Gwent, but some other Gwentesk game. Instead of fun Gwent card battles, the game is a never ending series of card puzzle battles with strange arbitrary rules and victory conditions. With the story seemed intresting, the gameplay is terrible. If you like Gwent or are expecting a Gwent game, do not buy this. If you like puzzles and the Witcher setting, this maybe more your cup of tea.

Uninspired mobile game

I expected Gwent with a nice story, not this. The Gwent I knew from Witcher is nothing like this, Battles are very different from W3 and not really enjoyable. And most battles arent even Gwent matches, they are infuriating puzzle battles with very few solutions. The world map itself looks good enough, but its mainly about clicking woodpiles to collect them and then move to the next stupid puzzle battle. Extremely disappointing, if this was steam I would get a refund. First big failure from CDPR.

Forgettable game, with a beautiful story

CD Projeckt fan here and I'm crying saying they pull a (quite) low effort, confusing and not well curated game: - story is wonderful, characters are mostly mostly very well written and the events (after a bit slow start) start to become engaging and unpredictable in a lovely way - art style and music are very very good (small caveat: often you don't distinguish the foreground with the protagonist from the background on the world and get stuck reasoning where to go) - gwent battles are damn boring and always feels like a burden, only some of the puzzles (not the most of them) are wit and entertaining to solve, but not much else - the whole world exploration is not necessary, literally scrapping it would have benefit the game pacing a lot, without sacrificing nothing that's not a burden second only to Gwent battles -
