And when the fight was over We spent what they had made. But in the bottom of our hearts We felt the final cut.
The game is fun and addicting, and in contrast to many other card games it rewards skillful play and game knowledge. There is very little luck involved in this game, which is something I enjoy alot about it.
The main flaw of the game is how anti beginner friendly it is. The matchmaking for new players is horrible, and the starter decks are really bad. This makes it very difficult to get into the game. However, once your collection of cards starts growing this game becomes one of the most consumer friendly games out there. The amount of free stuff you get is insane (probably half of my collection I got only through playing), and the "reward system" in this game is pretty cool. You unlock points through playing matches and completing achievements that you then spend on different rewards.
Overall the game is great once you get into it, but it requires either a lot of patience or a bit of money to get there. The game is super consumer friendly, the developers are some of the least greedy out there (just handing out rewards constantly). The game recieves updates on a monthly basis, which, although not perfect, keeps the game quite fresh. I recommend everyone that enjoys card games to try Gwent out, and not give up on it immedietly.
I'm not a big fan of card games but I enjoy playing them. This said the problem with card games for me is if you had bad luck opening card kegs (packs) and try to play with fun decks there is big chance of you losing to "try hard" decks. In card games large amount of players copy decks from the web.
Gwent is different card game and that's something I can respect. Both players have 2 lanes in the game board melee and ranged. Both lanes have benefits some cards have special effects when you place them in melee lane, some cards have range of how far they can target their special attack, some cards have passive ability and so much more. Pretty neat. But how do you win the match (?) by having more "damage points" than your opponent and winning two rounds out of three. There's also arena mode.
Visually this is the best looking card game from the menu to the battlefield.
Some vocal minority seems very dissapointed at the Gwent homecoming update. I think it's great and has alot nice added gameplay. It also has alot of potential for the future. Looking forward to what the expansion brings!
10/10
