Puzzles kill this for me

The puzzles kill this game for me. Having to figure out the exact way to play a specific deck to defeat the encounter isn't fun for me and it's sucked all the enjoyment out.

Unwinnable...?

Love 'The Witcher' series of books, games, etc. but, this is just unwinnalbe...there's no end game so to speak because the player can only get so far. It may be just me but, that's what I've run in to.

Despite ties to gwent, it fails mostly

"The game should stand on its own", but I must say I loved Gwent in W3. I don't care for PVP, so single player was exciting. It seems they've made it a lot more like hearthstone in the mean time, with more 'damage' abilities and effects instead of building up power. Which might not be bad by itself, but for most of the 'battles' at early hours of the game, you have 'puzzle' fights and 'shortened battles'. In 'shortened' battles you have to just use damage cards to spam damage at certain enemies. In 'puzzles' there is a specific way the game wants you to play your *pre-built* hand of cards and that's usually the only way, any error will just need a restart of the match, especially when you can't know the changing effects in next step of the "puzzle". The only matches I've enjoyed have been the few 'standard battles'. The progression starts off extremely slow, you will not have needed to make a meaningful choice in your deck(or had the option to) for at least 5 hours into the game. The starting deck is in my opinion boring, and almost every match ends with me having two full rows of cards(oh yeah they've removed one row for reasons unclear to me, which accents this problem), and sometimes even the enemies have a full board, and in my example just burned 6 cards into nothing because they couldn't play them, and I won. I've also had enemies take very long turns to think in random battles. Sidequests have felt very much "just MMO sidequests". The main story bits so far have felt very shallow. But I haven't finished it yet. Telltale has killed the visual style due oversaturation for me. If I had had the option to return it, within for example 2 hours, I would have very strongly considered it. Now I'm going to have to give it a few more hours before I'll probably go replay Witcher 3 and love Gwent again. TL;DR: If you loved hearthstone expansions, you'll probably be fine with this game. If you loved Witcher 3 Gwent, but not* hearthsone, you probably won't like this.

I'm only 8 hours in, I will update this

So far this game is meh, it tells you to build your own deck but do it with almost no cards available and a low card-power cap. When presented with "Make the hard choice one or the other" it feels like making a hard choice which is great, but it also feels like dialouge options in fallout 4. You know what catagory you are picking but have zero ideas of the consequences or bonuses that you will get. This isn't a bad thing on its own I guess but You aren't given a lot of backstory to some of the choices. And then the resource checks impact your game for how sudden they are, though I may just be salty about that one because I upgraded my 5% movement speed right before it. P.S. don't buy that, its a waste I don't know why I did.
