+ story + voice acting + music + characters + puzzles - choices rarely mattering much - abundance of materials - a lot of grindy standard battles I would normally give it 3 stars but I can see that for someone who is not experienced in Gwent this would be slightly more fun so I give it 4. I still recommend getting it when it's on sale ($30 is a little bit too high for this game)
PROS: - amazing art and animations - Witcher universe - it's very different than your regular "Hearthstone clone" games - very good progression system - as f2p you can build multiple decks fairly quickly - official CDPR tournaments CONS: - way too many strong neutral cards compared to faction cards makes all decks feel too "samey" - faction identity is lacking - going first usually gives you a disadvantage - gameplay is very linear and lacks exciting moments. Playing and winning doesn't feel as good as in other card games NEUTRAL: - game is very dark (not just the overall atmosphere, but the board, cards, everything) - there is barely any NA playerbase so queue times are longer during those hours - no replays or tournament mode. No mobile version. GOG only.
