Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

A wonderful new story

This game adds yet another wonderful journey in our favorite gaming universe, and as usual the story telling, voice acting and presentation are absolutely amazing. The game mechanics could be a bit more balanced for experienced Gwent players since they will probably find it too easy. But for anyone like me who buys Witcher games mainly for their story and for a fun ride and doesn't mind minor issues with the gameplay (let's face it, all the Witcher games had those), this is a must buy in your collection for the lore alone. But I also found the gameplay to be a lot of fun. The main characters actually play a role in your deck, and when new ones join you or others leave, you really feel that. Are the battles sometimes too easy? Yes, but I also don't like when a story game forces me to replay a battle 10 times just so I can continue on. Card game wise it's more casual, but still a lot of fun, and story wise it's the usual CDPR excellence with choices that are actually hard and matter and characters you truly hate or fall in love with and who feel realistic in their attitudes and choices. And as usual, a lot of grey instead of black and white. Oh and of course the presentation, voice acting, graphics and soundtrack are absolutely amazing. Nobody but CDPR would put so much value into a single player campaign for a card game. If you are a witcher fan or you enjoy fun card games that are on the casual side but make up for that with a fantastic story that you can enjoy also even if you never heard of the Witcher before, this one is for you.
