It's Gwent with a story about how and why Alzur created witchers. Gameplay is challenging but fun, definietly have 'one more run' vibe to it. Added treasures and special powers to Gwent cards makes for chaotic fun. Try it before Witcher 4 comes out with a new Gwent cardgame in it :)
Come in, relax and enjoy the ride.
There are hundreds of people here that'll tell you how beautiful (audio nd visuals) this game is. They're not wrong. But honestly, it goes all to hell when you have to backtrack A LOT - very often going blind into the unknown. Map will not update until you'll find a bug who is selling maps and you have to do it in every new location. Lore is gibbrish spread everywhere so to put it all together better start writing your own journal, You can buy a few markers for your map but good luck remembering which is which as they're only colours and not something you can write on. This game is a challenging platformer but difficulty should be a reflection of your skill, searching for stuff, backtracking and wasting my time is not something I want to do in a game. Shame, what a waste of potential.
If so - you're in for a treat as that's where the strenghts of this game lies. It's beautifully and sometimes frighteningly written - writer clearly understands how Lovecraftian game should 'feel'. Graphics are meh - nothing special although they do produce a decent mood. Music is great, atmospheric, wet. Gameplay itself is a painfully slow grind as you swim from port to port to earn an echo (currency) here and there. At first it didn't bother me as I've enjoyed stories and sounds. But progression is so slow that it killed my interest. Also it's a huge misunderstanding that the best tactic in the game is to run away from every threat as even when you 'fight' (press one icon on your screen when it) the losses will be almost always bigger than gains therefore you go bored or you go to start screen to start everything again with blackened map. Shame, I've enjoyed it for a while but only cause I like reading and Lovemakercraft.
