It's impossible not to expect a beautiful, complex and unique game from CDPR. Thronebreaker is no different: the simplified version of Gwent mesh well with the story they're telling and allows some new puzzle challenges that are surprising but not impossible. The Witcher's grimdark fantasy sense is still here, although it feels a bit edgier and darker at some points. Unnecessarily so. The bit main feature that tilted me to the point of not knowing if I want to finish this game is the way the devs seems to micromanage how (they think) you should enjoy their game, you like it or not. Only one slot for autosave and god forbid you want to save scum. It's a backwards thinking of "everyone must play on ironman and face consequences, because!". In the end, this is still a game and the most important choice: how I want to play it, is blocked by the way the saving system was made.
