A fantatistic journey
I bought Thronebreaker knowing I liked Gwent enough to play a game about Gwent, but also knowing I'm not a card game's addict. But to be entirely honest, I played Thronebreaker because it was a CDPR game, and the great studio behind my favourite games deserved, no matter what, my money. It took me some time before I decided to launch the game, simply because, like any other modern gamers, my game library is a bit overflowing, and oddly enough, I tend to procrastinate the games I know I'll like a lot. Wait for the right time, the right mindset, etc. It took less than 10 minutes to get back all those feelings The Witcher serie gave me. Fantastic music, superb ambiance and a setting which, despite being Fantasy, looked more real that most games. From there, just keep going. The story guides you, the storytelling is great, your choices are dark and difficult, and the game describes it the best way it could each time you're making one : "You've chosen one evil over another one". And I don't think anything could summarize it better than that. It's a human tale, first and foremost, a tale of mistakes and evil, a tale of war and companionship. A grey tale. Like before in the Witcher games, nothing is black or white, none of your choice are good and more often than not, you choose what feels like the lesser evil to you, never knowing if that choice was indeed the lesser evil, and often regretting it as you find out about its consequence. Gwent wise, the game has a smart way to use Gwent to make everything feels fresh. Most battles are only one round (2 rounds may have been too much), there are some smart and fun puzzle, you unlock themed cards as you go. It feels good playing Gwent this way. If there was only one little flaw I could list, it would be the fact your tactical choices matter little. You can't lose a battle (well, you can but you just restart the battle), so some of those choices between fight and flee are often redundant.
