Excellent game with only a few issues

The narrative and voice acting are second to none, the gameplay is buttery-smooth, card battles now come with impressively upgraded visuals compared to previous Gwent versions. The game campaign is split into several chapters, each focusing on a different group (Lyrians, Nilfgaardians, Dwarves, monsters, Scoia'tael), which will at several points change the cards in your deck (a bit like in Warfcraft 3, although not to such a large extent). As you progress, some companions and their cards may join or leave you, depending on your choices. The story is developed within the boundaries set by the books, which makes it arguably harder for the creative process, but CDPR managed it brilliantly. Your choices matter and you will see the consequences - sometimes immediately, sometimes a few hours laters, sometimes in other chapters or in the ending scenes. The pace of the game is excellent, switching between the narrative sections, combat (which itself offers very diverse pacing, including special puzzle battles, shortened battles or special decks with unique cards), camp management and resource gathering. Story, narration, visual and audio quality, game mechanics and their implementation and polish are all of the highest quality. The only issues I found were a few buggy cards, which didn't work correctly (or at all); and cards' descriptions, which sometimes did not work as advertised. It is a challenge to cram a complex card mechanic, including its interaction with other cards, into a small space available on each card and in several cases what was written on them just didn't really correspond to what they did on the battlefield. This was especially the case with unique battles (mostly puzzles) and you often end up starting with a 'test run' to see how the cards really work before trying to solve the puzzle for real. Overall, it is an excellent game - especially for the card games enthusiasts (which I'm not - and I still had loads of fun) and for the Witcher fans.

Not quite the game for me

So where to begin, after 14 hours in the game I find myself both loving and loathing this game. The good, so far the story is really good and is the main driving force for me to keep playing, it's familiar enough with the lore and locations etc and still original in a different time and perspective to the other Witcher games and the art style is great and a really good fit I feel. The bad, At least in my opinion. The combat can be ok or it can be infuriating as all battles are card duels with or without 1-time special rule sets. Sometimes you use the same one or two tricks other times it feels like near about there is very little you can do and you can pretty much guess whether you win or lose based solely on what you initially draw, and I've never at least yet had a battle or match that made me feel good for beating it, or that I felt was interesting. To be totally honest I don't really care for the Spin-off Gwent that this is based on and before I bought this game I knew it was pretty incorporated in it but to me, it just isn't enjoyable. I would absolutely love to see more of these mini-stories in maybe similar formats, examples like replacing the Gwent sections with a variety of or singular other systems such as RTS battle mini-game or turn-based or any other directions you can go. A couple minor complaints game crashes fairly often, there is no way (that I have found) to manually save and continue it's save and exit game or to the menu, and lastly, a couple different upgrades don't seem to work properly? for example, my recruits number over 200 yet I've not unlocked even the 175 limits, maybe it's a tooltip error or perhaps just a bug but I imagine these will be patched fairly quickly!

A must-buy for Gwent plyers, but...

It's a must-buy if you also play the multi-player Gwent game, for others not so much. Pros: Great puzzles and some nice combat scenarios against the AI. "Free" premium cards and reward points for the multi-player Gwent game by just playing this game. Exceptional soundtrack. Cons: Bland & boring main character you are forced to play. Predictable story. Way to many normal battles against a weak AI that is no challange even on the highest difficulty, that just waste your time.

Amazing Game

First and foremost, as a single player CCG the game kind of stumbles. I used the same deck almost through the whole game and really wanted to have more cards, but instead of getting new ones (which you will get, though not many) you mostly upgrade existing cards. As a result it felt pretty repetitive. The optional puzzles were often hit or miss - I either had a lot of fun or was just annoyed the whole time. But the game does do its best to make every encounter feel unique, and with its own set of factors at play that make the game feel fresh long after you thought it couldn't. The highlight of the game is not the card game elements though, but the powerful story and complex characters. In the beginning act the story seems rather run of the mill, though engaging, but as soon as Act 1 ends the real plot begins. Over the course of the game I made decisions I regretted, ones that I justified, ones that I learned later I had made the right choice for the wrong reasons, and much more. The characters, too, were an incredible part of the game. One of which is among my favorites in the Witcher universe now. The game doesn't give you too many things to discuss with companions at your camp, but they often interact with Meve over the course of events and really make their presence, and opinions, known. Consequently, they aid a lot in making the game feel dynamic and alive. Overall, a wonderful game with a wonderful plot and incredible characters. The lack of cards can make the game feel too repetitive at times, but that's not a huge issue in the grander scope of the game. P.S. More interaction with Knickers please.
