CDPR does it again with this new title from the critically acclaimed Witcher series. While not focusing on our usual protagonist of Geralt, we instead play the game as Meve, the fearless queen of Lyria and Rivia. Explore the lands of the Witcher solving quests, puzzles, and card-based combat in the very board-game like PC game that is Thronebreaker.
With an excellent musical score, clever puzzle solving system, and graphic novel-like graphics: Thronebreaker takes game play up a notch, and really hits it home for what is sure to be a highly memorable and story-rich game. Before you know it, you'll find yourself immersed in the world of the Witcher, dealing with strifes of locals and monster attacks as queen.
For those familiar with Gwent, your skills will be beneficial. However, Thronebreake's Gwent based combat system is a little different than traditional gwent. Veterans of the card game will find it adequate, and newer players (or simply those who weren't very good at gwent as a standalone game) will find it easy to pick up and fun. The game also incorporates these cards to solve particular puzzles, challenging players to explore different thought processes ultimately leading to a very satisfying victory when you solve that ever-so-challenging puzzle you were stuck on.
if you enjoyed board games, medieval settings, and card based games like Gwent or Magic: The Gathering, this game will appeal to you. I highly recommend it, and it's even priced well from the start. It's a bargain and a gem, seriously, if you liked the witcher world or the books, you need this in your game library.
