GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

I am currently playing through Witcher 3 for the first time and Gwent is highly addicting. That being said this game is not gwent its some sick twisted un inventive hearthstone clone. Theres no strategy like in the real game.

I was very pleased to play gwent from witcher 3 with friends. Even after update, that changed it more into MtG or HS type of game it was fun to play, with lot of differend strategy and lot of carts that you were chaising. Right now? What is this crap? Its not a game i beta-tested! Every card you can place anywere you want, boosts are so overpowerd that you need only fev unit and rest of hand to boost to win, there is no strategy, only throwing random card that you drawed from your deck. And What was most important in gwent? To know when to surrender. They changed it into "never surrender" - because even if you overhelm your opponent you get punished for being better. TL:DR - It's not gwent, they lied to betatesters, if you want to be sane - dont play this thing

Well i give the new game a shot but this is not the thing i want to play anymore. I played more than 700 hours in beta and more than 100 in this new gwent i dont like new gwent is soooo slow and boring. Maybe i will give the game a new chance with the december patch but im just burn out from this game. I will follow the news but i will not play for a time

I loved GWENT in the BETA days... Not so much this mess. Visually, the gameplay UI is jumbled and clunky. Turning the "card table" in a mud pit for no reason makes zero sense, and having the leader "cards" actually be "real" people (or monsters, elves, etc.) is just a mangled and jumbled up gameplay equivalent of a mixed metaphor ... people who represent cards leading cards who represent people onto a battlefield that represents a table that represents a battlefield - the effect is quite lame, actually ... The abysmally slow leader animations add nothing but distraction and are an excruciating waste of time. The leader and passive faction abilities of the closed beta, and even late beta leader cards (that were actually cards) made a lot more sense, fit the theme of a "card game" much better, and didn't waste so much time. Hey, CDPR ... Most of us have played the Witcher games ... we know you know how to animate a 3-D computer model of a guy in armor holding a sword ... there's no need to shoehorn it into GWENT where it makes no sense! Thanks to the addition of nonsensical things like "orders" and "charges" and sluggish leader abilities, turns that used to be crisp, clear, and succinct have become slow, painful, and confusing ... Matches take way too long to resolve - and even if you win, you don't really feel like you've accomplished anything ... every deck is a generic control deck; you just happened to hang on one card longer than the other guy did due to a lucky draw ... WTF were we testing for nearly 3 years? Oh well ... bottom line, if you liked GWENT - the REAL one :) - you probably won't like this imposter.

I was having a pretty good time until the update rolled in. Aspects of the board became dynamic and animated, that's cool. Unfortunately I don't find the gameplay as interesting anymore. I unistalled it. I might try it again after awhile. Maybe it will seem more interesting after I wait awhile and forget how it used to be.
