I played the open beta for about 8 month and once "Homecoming" was announced to change a huge part of the game, I was sceptical, because I loved the version of the game a lot. The first weeks in the full version were rough - the meta wasn´t fun and the few couple of really strong decks and some really annoying new tactics started to thrive... So why 4 stars? The potential of this version is high, some say higher than any version before. The deckbuilding got very complex and the last patch reverted some of the changes to the mulligan system. Meanwhile we await the announced content drops and regular updates on new expansions, events and tweaks. As of now, Gwent is a very free-to-play card game with big differences to classic CCGs/TCGs and amazing artwork and the Witcher universe is a great place for this sort of game.
