Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a card game set in the Witcher universe. You play as Meve, a deposed queen trying to regain her throne with the help of her army, taking place during the timeline of the books, even before Witcher 1. However the most important difference is the gameplay. It's a Gwent-focused game, yet still contains some RPG elements, like how you have a map to roam, sidequests to do, and your choices matter.
In this game, Gwent's rules and mechanics are a bit different and more complicated than the one in Witcher 3. It serves as a "stand-in" for armies and events, like for example when you're fighting a Nilfgaardian army, they will only use Nilfgaard cards, no random monster or elf cards in their deck. When you recruit a character, their card will be added to your deck, and if they leave, you can't use their card anymore. If you dislike Gwent, good news, the card games can be skipped on easier difficulties. So you technically can just play Thronebreaker like a point-and-click game, but you will be missing out on half the game.
A major problem with this game is the lack of multiple save slots. You cannot manually make another save or quicksave, as each game only has 1 save, a single misclick can bring disastrous results. Personally, I think it would be a lot better if you can make multiple saves, as it's also easier to view alternate outcomes. The treasure chest collectibles also sadly doesn't unlock content here other than an achievement. They unlock rewards for the multiplayer Gwent game.
Thronebreaker is a surprisingly great game set in the Witcher universe, even if it looks and plays different from the main games. The quality is on-par, and the soundtrack is amazing as well. If you're a Witcher fan, no matter if you're a Gwent addict or simply just want the story, you won't regret playing this game.
