Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Good story with poor game design

Well, I'm early access player who had spent ~80$ to support Gwent in it's early days. I do not wish to rant about how Homecoming playstile ruined everything I loved about Gwent and how I feel myself fooled, because I would never ever invested in such game. But partly this is the reason for only two stars. Let me explain. Story in Thronebreaker is cool, you have some small space to take decisions. But 99.9% of them wil affect nothing. I can't really call it RPG. You can be bloody tirant racist or merciful pacifist in game - it dosen't really change anything. I hated unnecessary loot gathering forced mechanic. Over and over and over again. Feels like third part of the game is loot gathering. And army management designed poorly. Arbalists, sorceresses and few trinkets is all you need to comlete on hard mode. So much different units, and no need to use them at all. But Gwent Homecomenig mechanic is the worst part for me. It's just boring. No mindblowing combos, no need to brew original decks. Just get as much damage as you can. 1 star for awesome art. As always. 1 star for story. Linear, but still cool.
