After playing all the Witcher games and reading all the books and comics, I noticed one key Nothern monarch never appear in any of the games, and is barely mentioned...Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia. A character who seemed to win basically the second Nilfgaard war all by herself in the face of overwhelming opposition. That is all taken care of in Thronebreaker thankfully. Thronebreaker Gwent style gameplay isn't going to be for everyone (I enjoyed it a lot myself), and the navigation around the regional maps isn't very innovated but it not awful either (reminds me of Warcraft). However, if you like a grand story mixed in with some of the best thought provoking grey area decision making ever (game calls it lesser of two evils) this game will not disappoint. As a Witcher fan boy, I found very little to dislike but I maybe bias to because of that.
