Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Here are my long-overdue credits to this game. Totally worth it. It's a kind of good mixing of storytelling, HoMM-series caribbeaning/base managing and collectible card gaming (as it's combat aspect). All of this seems a strange combo and by no way guarantees quality, but CDPR did make a splendid product. What I definitely love about this game: - artisitc style - locations - music (and overall audio component, inculding sublime voice acting) - narrative story. The game world is quite picturesque with each region given a unique look and atmosphere through visual means (like, color pallete) and musical themes. That is why ordinary travels across the maps - among war's desolation and ruin or thrilling swampland horrors, to say but a few - as well as crucial plot moments are able to invoke strong emotions, leaving a memorable trace in one's gaming experience. Btw, the fans of the book series and original Witcher RPG series shouldn't be worry - the spirit is there! Of course, if one doesn't like the CCG-types of combat or the way the narration is presented (or they have some other unfathomable reasons), then this game is probably not for them, although I'd give it a try anyway ;) There is a couple of things I'd change, however. First one being the number of strange puzzles reduced slightly and more quests added in their stead. By "strange puzzles" I mean some puzzle-like battles which seem to be out-of-sync with in-game events - funny (or crazy) cow battles etc. The second change is straightforward - just add more campaigns! :D I really hope the sales are high enough for CDPR to consider development of new campaings or maybe a sequel for Thronebreaker. PS And don't forget to look into Extras sections - some goodies there, including OST!

It's such a fun game! Having played other titles from CDPR I alredy knew what they're capable of... but this game still managed to surprise me! I'ts well made, it looks beautiful and it's really entertaining. Absolutely worth the money, especially if you've alredy played other games of The Witcher's saga.

When i started to play Thronebreaker, i had no big expectations about it. But as i progressed further in the game i really started to like it and even where addicted later on. For being wrapped around an cardgame Thronebreaker is incredible well done. First of all the storyline is very thrilling and you have some tough decisions to make. The gameplay, at the highest difficultylevel, is challenging and its offers a broad variety of different enemytypes and playstyles with your deck. But there are also some deck setups which are way to overpowered. Also the gameplay is very organic to the storyline and the way you are playing/progress in game, e. g. affects your cards. The graphics are surprisingly good as you have lovely detailed maps and breathtaking scenery. The soundtrack are one of the best i heard so far in any Witcher game. It´s just an eargasm. Very fitting to the enviroment, that you are situated in. In my opinion Thronebreaker also fits well in the chronology of the Witcher books. So to conclude this review its worth a try and worth a buy !

At first it was a bit difficult to learn the mechanics of gwent, but after a while the game is very good and the story is very exciting.

Few games provide such a sense of heavy and impactful decisions, it feels like I traveled with Meve on her long journey and delt with the difficult decisions that seemed to follow her where-ever she went. The characters are brilliant and all felt really fleshed out, frankly it sadens me I won't see those characters again. That said I cannot say it was flawless, I've never really been much of a card game player myself. The game especially in its early stages weighed me down with several new mechanics and puzzles which were challenging to all pick up so quickly. Maybe I am just slow but there was a lot to take in so early, and I hate to admit it but I got frustrated here and there. That changed though once I got the hang of the mechanics and I felt really powerful at several points and it shows that gwent has come along way since witcher 3. I like how story elemets can effect the your deck too in both a poistive and negative way, just makes the decisions that much harder. I also cannot foget to mention that the soundtrack is superb! To sum up! the story, choices, characters and story easily felt like the strongest aspects. The cards and all there mechnics can be a bit much at first but became bery fun and fluid, it is a very witcher experience and I can easily reccomend it! well done cd project!
