How do you play it? Why?

I know there're heaps of gushy reviews of this game, but I wish I'd never bought it. Notwithstanding I haven't the least idea what is going on, the biggest problem is that I'm being asked to admire and assist Queen Meve, who is basically a right royal, hard-mouthed, abusive, tyrannical, murderous bracket. Even if she wants not to hang a peasant guilty of being a witness to a crime, it appears her army gets a fit of the sulks if no-one is hung from a gibbet. The average play time is 22 hours. Presently I'm at 18 hours and sorely noticing the lack of a manual which can explain what this ruddy game's about. If I'm truthful, I'm actually on the side of the peasantry and bandits she's oppressing. Hurrah for the bandits! And Queen Meve? Di'el tak the wight!

Good game marred by tech issues

A fun game that gave me more of what I was missing really badly: more of the witcher universe. There's plenty of reviews describing the good sides of the game with which I entirely agree so I would like to focus and warn other players about one extremely poor side of the game: if you are among those unlucky few who are actually not few but many you are going to encounter "black screen" fairly often. Those black screens happen fairly often in place of cinematics. If you are lucky you will simply have the entire cinematic freeze with only the sound playing in the background so you will *only* miss on the awesome part of the game story experience if you are less lucky however the entire game won't be playable. The latter is particularly annoying because cinematics usually occur after big final battles and you will have to replay the entire battle which might take up to 30 minutes to do until you will finally avoid the black screen. What's strange is that Gwent itself, the game this stand-alone single-player experience is based on, doesnt have any of such issues. Further down the line you have various solutions suggested by tech support and other players, however neither me nor as I found out most other people didn't find a permanent solution, black screens on cinematics will still randomly appear no matter what you do. However the biggest letdown and the sole reason I'm writing a review focused on such subject is that CDPR evidently did not solve that issue in one year of the game's existence. That made worse by the fact that the multiplayer Gwent has no problem with black screen on cinematics and I normally came to expect better of the company than that. But even leaving aside my high expectations of CDPR I simply can't recommend or give more than 2 stars to a game that is broken for so many players for 1 year after its official release.

Great standalone, Excellent expansion

TLD;R Great story, decisions matter, intense turn-based strategy, innovative design, superb graphics and polish. You do not need to play Gwent to enjoy this although it complements your experience greatly. Easily well worth the price if treated as an expansion and has a free multiplayer expansion called Gwent if treated as the main game. *** Review Extension I currently have not finished the game so I cannot comment on it's duration but so far I doubt it has replayability outside of unlocking stuff which I would say is more of a chore rather than a fun experience. Given it's a CDPR product however I wouldn't be surprised if there's actually a lot of content beyond my estimation. *** Warning While this is technically an RPG, decision making is generally binary (in the early game anyway) and there's little to no actual character customization. This doesn't stop you from enjoying the great, non-linear story or deep strategic gameplay but it's worth knowing.

It's a fair game...

Not five-star, but good effort. I skipped all Gwent parts in Witcher 3, so actually I was a noob here, but the game has very smooth learning curve, so I understood everything very quickly. Project is solid, but it becomes very repetitive after first two chapters - and very easy even on standard level of difficulty. Storyline is great, but I know what have inspired this game - Banner Saga, of course. It's so obvious, that I can't praise creators more - they took nice narrative idea and implemented it. Every action has its own consenquences, yeah. The bad part is laying inside metaRPG and meta-adventure. There is not much sidequests, and the main part is pretty linear, so you won't have "that witcher experience". Also, exploring isn't so rewarding, I guess I was a kind of billionare in this world - that's it, a ton of wood, gold and human resources. Overall I could say that CDPR isn't staying in one place - but this experiment is balancing between something very good and something very average. Let's hope that they don't fall into average category of games.

Another CDPR Masterpiece

Let's talk about the bad things since there isn't much to say: -bugs/crashes. Quite a few sadly, nothing gamebreaking tho -it's way to easy to beat -this might be a minor thing, but I for one wanted to get into the gwent multi-player game, but Thronebreaker doesn't make it easy.While the game mechanics are the same, the cards have completely different text. So even if now i know every card in TB, I have to relearn every single card text from scratch Now the good: -I laugh when I see the "female protagonist" label on steam, most of the times these are just games that try to appeal to the mostly male gamers playing, so the characters are usually bad, but here all the characters and especially Queen Meeve are, lets just say, exceptional. Some of the best ever written -the voice acting is phenomenal, and remember that the game has no cutscenes etc, you're looking at pictures for the most part so to have this amount of quality va was a shock, a pleasant one -the art is beautiful, but even better is the in-game(when you're playing the cards) graphics, I played a lot of card games and this is by far the best I've seen in terms of animation, interface and I would say even atmosphere- which is strange to say in a card game -music is great tho a bit more tame then in the witcher -Gameplay: it's superb. Forget that little minigame you were playing in the witcher 3,this is truly a masterpiece card game, so much fun to create decks that just obliterate everything or have insane combos.Other then the card game you'll be playing a top down, exploration game and of course a "choose your own adventure" type of campaign, where you make decision that will affect the story/characters and the cards you can have in your deck -fun-factor:I've gushed enough about it already, needles to say it's a ton of fun and make no mistake, in true witcher fashion it's highly repayable as well,with different endings etc. Overall I say It's a must buy for this price. Thank you once again CDPR.
