Numerous bugs aside (some freezes here and there and a bugged unsolvable puzzle) this is a fantastic RPG game. Love the atmosphere, setting and story. 5 stars if they fix all the bugs and glitches.
I feel underwhelmed by Thronebreaker, a game that feels as a gard-came packaged as a role-play game and presented as a graphic novel.
The story is praised for being well written, but it is riddled with nonsense made worse by the incessant betrayals. The art of writing a good story is not to attribute inhuman behavior to people, but to make them fail because they are human. Take count Caldwell. When faced by a perceived unbeatable enemy he chooses to submit. Instead of making him a person who has to make an unwelcoming decision, he is painted as a traitorous selfserving coward who is fat and lives in luxury. But why not make more of the dark side of Meve? When she liberates her own country she might cause the utter ruin that Caldwell tries to prevent. But no, at the end it is written that the much more powerful force that is about to fall upon her army poofs out of existence. She didn't even need to have the magic ring drop into the volcano. The writers butcher all of this because they have to provide the audience a story in which the good are good and the bad are bad and invasions are prevented by miracles.
As a card-game the game doesn't excel. Your deck consists of only two smaller decks that you can expand upon and nothing more.You do get sets from other decks, but you cannot add to these or change them.
As a role-play game the game is weak. Your character, queen Meve is a given. Options are often offered in a black and white manner.You have to make an uninformed decision on the spot and hope for the best. It is all a shot in the dark based on little information with no ability to find out more and with an arbitrary outcome.
The weakest aspect of the game is the warfare-element. Warfare is about making tough choices because you have limited resource.s The only choice you get to make is what cards you bring to the table in a battle. There is no strategy in this game.
Thronebreaker is a good investment if you can get it for bargain. Perhaps 10 euros?
An interesting turn on the now famous and already tested formula of Gwent with a twist on narration during the Second Nilfgaardian War (the one told in the books).
Instead of being just a witcher, killing monsters and saving a daughter, we play as a queen without a crown but with a partisan army against a black sea of nilfgaardian enemies.
Instead of being multiplayer, this game is a singleplayer experience with balanced encounters, amazing puzzles, and over the top voice acting and narration.
The world is there, it's dark, it's dirty, it's in shades of grey in a morally ambiguous war.
If you played any of the other Witcher games, you'll feel right home.
