Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

If you are a Witcher fan, then this game is a must play. A lot of people pass it just cause its a gwent related but you don't need to be a gwent fan to play. Pros: *Great story and taken from the books. *The voice acting are beyond amazing. *The graphics are very good. *The game are optimized properly and can run on low end devices easily. *Puzzles are soo interesting. *The concept of choices and consequences are applied with high quality. Cons: *Kinda easy even at highest difficulty except for boss fights. *Non boss fights are so repetitive specially the standard battles (non shorten ones).

The pacing and interface is very much suited to a tablet. The mouse-only interface isn't particularly engaging on a PC because its sluggish and deliberate, but for whatever reason the version sold here is only for Windows. Android APK not included, which is a shame.

Even if you dislike Gwent, this game's story will make you think deep about dilemmas and morals. Its characters will stay with you long after you finish Meve's epic story.

I bought this game on a whim after playing through the Witcher trilogy and needing more Witcher content. It has been a really good time so far now that I am in Act 2. The story is written really well just like the mainline Witcher games. I thought the gameplay might be a turn-off as I did not really enjoy Gwent in Witcher 3 as much as most people it appears. However, it turned out to be surprisingly engaging. I especially enjoyed the puzzles that had to solved in a specific way that challenged me to think out of the box unlike just mindlessly trying to get the highest score. It feels like a good companion game to play following the Witcher 3 to relax and enjoy more of the world. I know CDPR has said that there are no plans to make more of this type of games but I would be interested in playing them if they ever make something like this again.

The amount of “game” this has is honestly very surprising. They chose an interesting but overlooked character from the books and developed an epic tale that you play… with cards. Like, what? But it works! And then, somehow, successfully recreated the open world RPG feel of the Witcher games with an isometric view and a very limited amount of interactions. It’s a great accomplishment. It’s weird to feel like an AAA game is a work of passion, not because there aren’t passionate devs working on those but because of the scope and financial pressure those projects have. Thronebreaker is absolutely a passion project with great writing, amazing art and a lot of attention to detail. Loved it!
