GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

3 Modes on release: ranked, friend matches and arena. Nothing innovative playmode wise added after 6 months of dedicated development and has been literaly the same since midwinter 10 months ago. For full release out of beta product the features arent incentivizing me to play 2000 hours again, got 0 faith and still got dissapointed. Basic mechanic losing an round to win the war is no longer active! Due to 3+3 draw system in round 2/3. games are just 2 long rounds either win, pass, win or win, win regardless the rounds are longer then they used to leading to something being utterly exploited, axemen is an nice one, sihil also great exploit in long round.

Over 400 hours in Gwent and they absolutely killed the game I loved. Mulligans are ridiculous, the round system is now awful, awful balance and polarizing cards like artifact, SO MUCH RNG I CANT EVEN BREATHE. They have entire becks that are built around RNG like reveal now and not to mention the complete RNG of not being able to muster units or thin your deck. Now you just straight up auto lose round 3 if you have any bricks or don't draw the cards you want because you can only mulligan 3 cards. Whoever made the mulligan change is an absolute moron who has no business making decisions in card games. TLDR: They don't even understand their own game so all of their decisions are absolutely ridiculous and no one knows what they're doing.

I hoped this game to be like in the Witcher 3, but it differs a lot. Too complex gameplay and heavyweight client. And all these mechanics when one card can attack another, plus animation wipe out the feeling that you're playing cards.

This little lamb has been all around the place, had his fair share of patches, re-designs, facelifts and updates, but now that he's finally back I'm not sure if I can recognize him anymore. We've had our hare of arguments about balance and what's fun and what's not. The lamb got lost in the progress but now we're back to the barn and what do we find? Well obviously someone switched everything around and turned all the rules upside down, how silly! The barn might be prettier than ever and it sure sounds like a new new adventure is just around the corner. But no. It's over. Little lamb doesn't recognize his old buddies anymore. The pretty Scoia, good old Skelli, all the good folks feel like strangers. Lamb doesn't want to play with them! They forgot about little lamb and he is just about to forget about them too. Once they were fun and we all played together but they are boring now! It's like someone said "you are boring adults now so enough with the fun" and they decided to turn an innovative cardgame into a lifeless husk.

The new gwent is confusing and difficult to learn, the interactions are quite strange, there are tired players who have seen the innumerable changes of gwent from the beta that are not few, but this change so radical for me has worsened the game a lot, besides me before I had practically all the collection, the decks are rare, the orders too powerful, I'm sure it will not be the only big change that the game will take, and now with the change I lost a lot of cards that practically had the whole collection, for me a very bad change
