Average Game, with potential

I can say that it's one of average games even if I have played it with pleasure. First impression was very good, but later i have been caught by boredom. Story line is very good, and interesting, multiple endings exist and are based on our decisions. As, i said this game was nice to play but for one, two hours per day. You shouldn't play longer or you will be bored. This game need ore activities that will add more fun when wandering map. Need more changes in gwent gameplay, propably more playable cards, even weather ones.

Difficult to redo decisions.

This game has several crucial plot points that involve a decision. This changes the events and story in the game. That in itself isn't bad, it adds to reputability later on. However if you've setup your hand to play with certain cards and they you suddenly loose those cards. Or have a play through that was to get a card but you weren't paying attention at the right time, you loose out any chance of getting the card. The save system is terrible, there are up to 3 slots that seem to be arbitrarily picked. So you can't go back and redo a recent action or decision. It might be 1 hour back in game play it might be 6. This becomes very frustrating. That aside, this is a great card style game. I brings back memories of the good magic the gathering games, but draped with the lore and story of the witcher. If it wasn't for the really poor save system this would easily be a 5 star game.

First "Witcher World" /Gwent experience

This is my first gwent experience and i have not played a main Witcher game, only this spin-off. I dont have a good pc and this game runs really good on high settings. Thats quite positive. After I played through the rushed and packed tutorial i got kicked into the world with the sentence: Your tutorial ends here. I was not ready. The mechanics were just described very rough and no deckbuilding or upgrade tent stuff was explained in detail. I quit the game that evening because i went to the bottom right after the end of the tutorial. There are some fisher huts and a monster that eats some flesh and it had a puzzle icon over its head. I think: Nice now i can try out the few things i was roughly told about and fail, but i couldnt. The game just straight up crashed after i clicked on the enemy. What a good first impression. Next day I started Gwent to learn about the card system. It was better explained in Gwent in my opinion. There are still so many questions open about some weird effects in the first sentence of a card that were not explained and I still have many questions about this base thing. After playing 2-3 online matches I saw some combos and recognized the skill it takes and the game was not just pure randomness anymore for me. (The tutorial was not good. You could not choose what card to play or what things to be explained, and thats why I thought that everything in the tutorial went without any randomness well and you had no chance to loose a round, exept the one round when you were forced to loose) All in all I started Thronebreakertoday again and voila: No crash. I think the puzzle was well made and fun. When I continued and went to the chapel graveyard and I clicked on another monster with a puzzle icon the game just froze in the second round. Thats when the fun was over for me. My card that i played turned white, there was no option to exit and i couldnt continue. I had to shut my game down manually. All in all it has the potential but needs fixes.

Good game with some dumb mechanics

The story is great, graphics are great, the music is good, puzzles are mostly fun even though there is often just 1 way to do them. My big problem with the game is some really dumb mechanics and some even dumber fights, one fight in particular near the end that I will not spoil. The mechanics I really hate are: - When you use some abilities, if the unit attacks 3 times and kills everything before the last hit, you will have to hit one of your units to end the turn, if there are no targetable units you will not be able to finish the turn. - Depending on how you spawn some units, their spawn ability will not be triggered.

Top notch RPG!

Very good writing where choices actually have cosequences. Remind me of old school isometric RPGs.
