I'd assume that this game got most of its attention after the release of Witcher 3, at a time where the majority of people are used to different standards. It's not a secret that the first game in the series didn't age to well in certain areas (namely the combat system) but in all honesty, the story is definitely worth putting yourself through it. Just this once, overcome your pride and turn down the difficulty to the lowest level, it will be a better experience that way.
- You can't build your own individual deck, only expand card by card.. - ..only to lose it all when you make one mistake and have to start all over - You can only choose between 4 base decks - No depth to the story. It's just a few unremarkable comments from the characters, and some extremely short cinematics (though admittedly I haven't played past a certain point as I can't bear it anymore) - no design variety. It's the same map all over again - you may get annoyed quick as you face the same few leaders every time, as obviously once you lose you have to start all over again - I expected Gwent Multiplayer Rewards, like with Thronebreaker, but it seems there are none (excluding the premium version, I obviously mean rewards that are unlocked by playing Rogue Mage) If you haven't played Thronebreaker, go and buy it right away - it's a masterpiece and you'll have a blast. This game here is just sad and the only way I can justify buying this for myself is by viewing it as a donation towards CD Projekt Red's future.
