Combat

I like this cardish thing combat system, sometimes it's a little bit confusing, but overall the game is great with its witcher atmosphere and all. And the story is written brilliantly !

Superb storytelling, subpar gameplay

Thronebreaker tells a compelling story about convincing and interesting characters, but the gameplay, both inside the battles and outside of them, is a mind-numbing slog. You're tasked with collecting meaningless heaps of resources to the point that you're drowning in them, which in turn render all the "ethics at hand vs resources for long term success" similarily meaningless. You can also invest some of that ridiculous amount of resources into improving your camp, which makes your already overpowered cards even more boring to steamroll the opponent with. Also of note are terrible optimization issues when the AI is looking for a move - more frames dropped than rendered on a reasonably powerful PC. Mostly a sign of bad programming because nothing about the card gameplay is realtime.

Very well made, couple of issues though.

Let me start off by saying this, I do not reccomend this game if you haven't played The Witcher 3. You will not understand a lot of things in the game to the extent that the game assumes you should and you won't have the same connections to characters and locations as someone who has played The Witcher 3. Secondly, ignore the reviews of manchildren crying about the money they spent on Gwent(I spent money as well). They are simply leaving 1 star reviews because they feel cheated and you're reviews aren't being deleted because they are negative they are being deleted because you are not reviewing the game you are spewing unecessary hatred try READING the guidelines before you post. REVIEW To me the game is very well made, the voice acting is incredible, the writing is superb, the art style is well done, and the characters are very interesting. The gameplay isn't bad but there are clear issues with it. I do not understand why they think tradional GWENT players would like this 3 card system which is just a worst version of the actual GWENT game. There is also a resource system in the game but it's done very poorly, you run around collecting piles of wood when your a playing a freaking Queen! They also could've polished the encampment system, it's very bland and feels like a mobile game upgrading system. The movement is also quite awkward, I feel like they could've visually made it look like you're actually commanding an army because in the game you're just running around as Queen Meve, a singular unit. This game to me feels very much like an experiment as this company knows the basics of a RPG story incredibly well and they experimented with the gameplay. Unfortunately, I did not like the outcome. The game feels like it's not done and I would give it a 3 star if it wasn't for the price. 30 dollars is not bad for what you get, like I said it's still visually and lore wise a fantastic game. You will want stop playing because of the gameplay but stay for the story. 4/5

CDPR is back!

The writing is phenomenal. I laughed, I almost cried, I had a great time with the game. It is a tad easy though, so played at the highest difficulty for any semblance of challenge.

Great, not perfect, game

Writting, graphics, music, voice acting are all strength of this game. It has mature believable story with interesting twists and characters. What prevent me from giving this game full 5 stars are some low moments in gameplay. I would like the game to force more army and deck variety. What I mean is, that I would like the game to start with just a few units and increase unit numbers as you progress. So you could feel the increasing strength of your army. The provision limit was so high, that I never struggle even with the lowest one. Also all unites was so OP, that deck builiding doesnt matter. If you had a few dmg abilities to win fights where you have to destroy specific unit, you could put anything in the deck and be fine. Please, next time lower the provision at start and make unit less powerfull with different abilities, so you actually have to think about your army (deck). Make different objectives in fights, you you have to use more than one decks, thats OP for everything. And add option to not only load from checkpoint, but also option to rebuild army and repeat fight (or option to create and save more decks). But despite text above, its a great game, that was even better than expected for reasonable price. And I was enjoying most of my 40+ hours of play.
