This game has the best feel of any RPG I have played in a while. The story, in general, is linear but you get to make a lot of "pick your poison" choices as almost none of them are clearly a better choice than the other. The card game aspects are interesting for an RPG but do work very well. I did get this game after getting trashed in Gwent during my first week in and hoped this would help out with my lack of skill or foresight in the game. Thronebreaker does play differently than the stand-alone Gwent game as scenarios and puzzles help to mix up the feel. The game and puzzles do feel as they get easier as the game progresses (with exception of the final MAJOR battle) but I did play the game on the medium setting as the hardest setting I was getting whooped early on. The game does include unlockables for the Gwent card game but no cards you can't unlock through the regular game. Titles, icons, and premium versions of cards might be exclusive unlocks to this game but nothing game-breaking. The best writing and voice acting I've seen in a while and extremely charming graphic style. Highly recommended and starting my second playthrough after putting in 40+ hours.
