ГВИНТ: Ведьмак. Карточная игра

Was nice in the beginning, but now it is even worse trash than Hearthstone

I came from Hearthstone and I didn't know what to expect at first. I was scared that i would get steamrolled, because I could not possibly be on top of the meta as a newcomer. And to my surprise, it was just fine. It's true, there are decks that are super annoying, mainly Vampire (mostly Bloodmoon), Frost build and Rain build. but they are not invincible. The game is fairly balanced and it is beginner friendly. There are those keys you collect from completing the journeys (through participating to events, achievements and some achievements of Thronebreaker give you keys) and those keys give you new cards specifiic to your faction (sometimes) or ressources to buy kegs. In my opinion, you get enough Keys and Scraps to build what some would call a meta deck. If you put your mind to it, any deck can work in some fashion. My two main decks are Driad-based and Aristocrats-based. They both work. Any faction works, and like any card game, you just need to think a little bit about your build. Now, I don't feel like it's Pay to Win. I never once payed to get something in the game. I have Thronebreaker and it did give me some cards and cosmetics, but there's only one card from those that I use and it's because it is funny. You don't need to pay to win, that's my point. Hell, even Rogue Mage (the expansion) as far as I know, doesn't give you anything, and I bought it! I really enjoy this game, way more than Hearthstone (less stressful somehow too). People will tell you that people abuse meta builds. Maybe some do that. But just play for the fun of it. Build a funny deck. Want to have 8 dragons in your build? Go for it. A witcher spam? Go for it. It's really fun. The emotes are fun too.

Meh. Huge changes. New interface is form over function making gameplay worse. Tutorial focuses on annoying Dandelion dialogue instead of fundamental aspects of the game (for instance, no more silver cards, no explanation of gold vs bronze).

We were bait and switched. This new version is not gwent. I played the beta daily for 2 years, it was not perfect but homecoming is terrible in comparison. Everything unique has been removed in favor of generic boost and damage cards. Community feedback was completely ignored during its development, in fact the opposite of what the hardcore community wanted was done. Bring back the beta as a game mode and everyone will be happy.

Best art in any cardgame. Cool unique rules.
