Thronebreaker is a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with unique puzzles and card battle mechanics.
Crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game spins a truly regal tale of Meve, a war-veteran and queen of two Northern Realms — Lyria and Rivia. Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge.

It a great game, especially for being a card game. I even like the graphical style. But there are a few irritating bugs that do diminish the experience. Sometimes you don't know if it's a bug or yourself not getting it. Most bugs are mismatches between the card description and the effect of the card. There are also some misspellings.
I played it and loved it, story is amazing,characters are amazing,i need more Meveeeeee. I think this game is great recipe for future Witcher tales but it need to be expended even more,so far its good.
I hope to see story based on battle on Soden,its such an iconic event in Witcher history.CDPR please keep making this games and further support Gwent. I don't watch Witcher to ever end.
It's really a very nice game with good characters, intricate plot and cosy gameplay. But these freezes are freaking me out. Sometimes the battle stops and you can do nothing except closing the game and reopening it. I can't help praising it cause I am excited with it but freezes spoil nearly everything!
4 stars only for other three wonderful games.
I would have liked this game more if I'd been prepared for what it really is, Gwent with a story. While there are elements of strategy, role-playing, and adventure, they are extremely thin. The strategy element (outside of Gwent itself) is whether or not you want to collect all the resources on a map, the adventure element is limited to the linear path through a map with little reason other than digging up treasure to move back, and the role-playing is equally light as the story is largely just exposition with a few choices.
This isn't inherently bad. Gwent is a fun game, and it's a beautifully designed game with some excellent implementation. As a cornerstone to build a game on it works well. You can handle combat with it, story events can be played out through it, and you even have puzzle missions that can only play out one way which must be solved. Going into this craving a deeper Gwent experience will yield the best results because the Gwent is so well done that it's easy to give a pass to everything else as just window dressing. It's very similar to Puzzle Quest.
However, that Puzzle Quest better integrates its game mechanic and minimizes the time you spend doing non-puzzle tasks. Thronebreaker doesn't. It's tiring traveling around the map. There's some quick travel, but it doesn't really alleviate how flavorless the navigation is. The dialog is very heavy given how little interaction you have with it, and I never really felt like the conversations were meaningful to my journey.
So I take issue with the description of Thronebreaker as an RPG. As a role-playing game with narrative-driven exploration, Thronebreaker fails pretty hard. But, as a Gwent game that elevates the mechanic of Gwent to the core method for interacting with a story and world, Thronebreaker is okay.
Thronebreaker is single player RPG with a great story made by writers of Witcher 3, and the gameplay consists of Gwent puzzles and matches, one thing to keep in mind is Gwent has been vastly improved from the small Witcher 3 mini game, the card style, board (or should i say battlefield !) and the complexity and balance have all been improved.
game looks absolutely gorgous, the story is brilliant and the choices you make along the way feel even more difficult than any Witcher game, you also have fun puzzles and fights throughout the game while building up your army.
recommended for any fan of the Witcher lore, if you're a fan of card games its a no-brainer, if you never played any i'd still recommend it, just play on easy and enjoy the beautiful world and engaging story.
