Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (2018 Video Game) User Reviews

Wouldn't happen to play gwent, would you?

Aww CPR... I love you. Honestly you can't seem to make a game without charm and personality even if that game is a card game.

So I'm not the biggest fan of GWENT. In the Witcher 3 it was the side missions that I bothered the least. It was not that interesting to me to be in a world full of monsters and adventure and stay inside to play cards. Here, GWENT is the MAIN game, it's the only thing that you do and the variety of tasks to do is honestly impressive for a card game... for the first 20 (or so) hours. Thronebreaker's biggest negative it's that after that time passes it's sooo repetitive. Honest to Geralt I thought that I finished the game 2 times before I discover that I had 7 hours of gaming left. After a while I just wanted it to be over. Thank the Conjunction of the Spheres that the story here is interesting and immersive.

7/10

A unique experience

The first of a mayhaps series of Witcher Tales, is a unique mixture of Gwent & adventure-like gaming, with open world to explore, loot and influence.

The story takes place in the war of the North, before the first Witcher game and you are the tough but fair Queen of Lyria & Rivia, Meve. You try to defend your realm against the Nilfgaardian invasion and during this, you get to meet and greet a LOT of very unique and different people. But be on constant alert...

If you want to try it, the most story-friendly mode is the Adventurer mode, where you can skip repetitive battles. But it's still, the best game to get in the epic world of Witcher!
