I feel like this is one of those where the progress is really slow, unless you are willing to take a risk - and even then there is a huge possibility of failing entirely... So... slow and steady. I got to 5th lvl of characters and it kinda is tedious... Gotta cure the maladies, gotta heal the stress etc etc. I can't get the feeling that am being constantly stopped from having fun, because random stuff. I guess that's for those who like this kind of experience.
This game plays like a combination of gwent and audiobook, a really good audiobook in which you decide how the story unfolds. Very often your decisions matter and you must face the consequences. The gwent riddles add nice twist to the game. They are not overly hard, but let you experience different play styles and shinanigans. Played at the hardest difficulty so can't say how hard this game is at lower settings. Sometimes the fights were a bit of a challenge. You have to be prepared to switch some cards in and out and do not get 100% attached to your tactic since it changes over time. Had a great experience.
