    At this moment i don´t recommend this game to any friend, there is a LOT to improve in the game to be worth your time.
    The game need casual and expert rank
    Need some way to encourage you to keep playing, quests, skins, cards, tickets, gold, sleeves, sprays...anything! Chat ¬¬ (c´mon that´s basic and should be in the game day one) Balancing (cards like axe or drow are pure bullcrap)    At this moment i don´t recommend this game to any friend, there is a LOT to improve in the game to be worth your time.

    TOO MUCH RNG!!! The rng in this game goes to increase your damage, to double your cards to even cheat death...RLY?!...RLY!!! ¬¬

    Don´t get me wrong the game is good and has potential, but it has too many flaws right now...So just wait.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Плюсы + :
    1. Геймплей в разы разнообразнее + вариантивнее чем в той же хирстоуна
    2. Легко можно освоиться новичкам в эту ККИ, особенно если ты играл в доту
    3. Картинка приятное + озвучка(оригинал).
    Минусы -:
    1. Как и во всех ККИ без определенного кол-во доната много выигрывать не получиться! Но чтоб у тебя были почти все карты тебе нужно донатить в разы меньше чем той же хирстоуне!
    2. Агрессивная политика доната! Слишком...
    3. Много рандома которые влияют на весь матч, каким либо ты задротом не был если рандом не на твоей стороне на 100% опять же ты не выиграешь! В хирстоуне есть баланс в этом плане!
    4. Слишком мало контента! За 1300 руб Если ближайшие время валв не выпустят большой патч с контентом каким нибудь то игра уже умрет!

    Итог: В данное время не советую брать эту игру, уж тем более если у вас нет лишних 3к чтоб карточек нормальных понабрать. Ждите 3-4 мес потом я надеюсь изменение будут!    … Expand

    This game could have been a real interesting competitor to HS / MTG Arena / Eternal but unfortunately it cripples itself with pay-to-win, total lack of progression system, and a real focus on gambling as the core mechanic.

    Greed machine designed to siphon money from people via a virtual market with artificially created scarcity of virtual items.

    The games design seems solid at the core, but is sprinkled with some really badly designed RNG cards. No way to get cards besides paying real money, good cards can cost over 20 dollars a piece.

    Stay away.

    I understand what the idea was. Valve wanted to make a real card game where every card is valuable. Remember the old days of Board games, when we bought sets in stores. I think they wanted to convey the spirit of that time. Therefore, the cards can be bought or changed with other players.    … Expand

Almost.

    The lessons you should learn, dear reader, are simple: show up 10 minutes early, don't double dip and listen to advice when they tell you that shirt does NOT go with that jacket.

    Lord Gaben decided to finally delve into the CCG market. . . unfortunately he did so years too late. Now he faces down competition like Gwent, Hearthstone and of course, the massive machine known as Magic the Gathering. Then, Valve decides to ignore common sense and generously decides to sell the ability to even play the game for $20.00 USD. What's that, you actually want cards, not the bum ones you RNGed when you bought the game? You'll have to empty your wallet some more, because the only way to acquire new cards is through real cash! Valve needed to pick one system or the other.

    Even with this disaster in the making, our once-golden child still had a chance. . . the beta testers! But alas, instead they recruited an army of Yes-Men and boot-lickers, endlessly singing Lord Gaben's praises: "Oh yes, the game is perfect! No changes needed." "Best card game ever, Hearthstone is done for!" Any real criticism was brushed aside and ignored, leaving us with this wallet-sucking monstrosity- simply too horrible to even look at.    … Expand

However, the game is clearly a desperate hail Mary from Valve to find a foot in a market by spinning off one of their most popular IPs at the moment.
    I think somewhere along the development pipeline, Gaben saw the game and said, "I'm not paying to promote this." Because this game really, super quieltly eeked out of the woodwork. I didn't know the release date until it was out. They added an update to Dota just to show the release trailer for artifact.
    Other reviewers have touched on why the pay to win model is dumb, but let me add something, I genuinely can't comprehend why someone would pay for digital cards. Physical cards, sure. I can physically trade those in a few years and they may increase in value because they're physical. But digital TCG, I can only trade Steam Wallet dollars. Which is about as useful as trading Dave N Buster's bucks at the Car Dealership. So, you're paying as much as you would for other TCG, you get less, and the experience is only online. I shouldn't have to explain why that's dumb.
    The game has cool features at first, until you realize that outside of the most basic matchmaking features, the game requires you to buy tickets to play the other features.
    The game as is, is the polar oppostie of Dota. It's absolute horse **** that they attatched Dota's name to this game. The art design is the same, but outside of that, they're nothing alike.

    Lastly, the consequences of this game directly impact Dota 2, the game that we actually give a **** about. Many of the changes to heroes in Artifact recently showed up in the 7.20 update for Dota. Expect to see hero buffs and nerfs take place purely based on how Valve wants to inflate or deflate the value of Artifact cards. If you think that supporting this game is all's well that ends well, peep how complacency empowers lazy, fearful, greedy companies like Activision, Bethesda and EA pays out.
    Pro tip: You get **** games in the future.

    To all those who are saying this game is good for trying something new, keep in mind that new ideas aren't always the best. And all the pro Dota players or Dotacasters that are sucking this game off are totally biased. They're paid by Valve to promote the game. And being able to stream a game before everyone else gets their hands on it will guarantee you views/donations. That's just the law of averages.

    AVOID if you can.    … Expand

    It's a decent enough card game. But it's Pay 2 Play, Pay 2 Win, Pay 2 Anything. There's no way to earn cards without paying real money, and the $20 intial price does not give you enough cards.

    I stopped playing Magic, because of it's **** economy and now this thing is even worse. You have a market where the tax is 60% of the card value for some of the cheaper cards.There is no direct trading. If someone like the Gwent developers can profit off something that is essentially a dead game by now and give good prize pools, then there is no reason for Valve to pick-up MTG economy.
    In Gwent you can have pretty much full collection while being f2p and shell out some money on animated(premium) cards.
    Here, if you want to play constructed and play the 2 of the strongest colours - well ,get ready to shell out the price of an AAA game for 2 cards on the market. Full collection price is at least 150 pounds (200$) and you can't try the game for free.
    You have to pay to try it out, you have to pay for the competitive modes, you have to pay for constructed since you can't own all the cards even if you payed for the game already.If you decide to pay for competitive, well getting any reward is happening at 60% win-rate and you still don't get your money back at this point. Going 3-2 in a competitive, for which you have payed already to enter , you win just your ticket back LOL, not even a pack for a 2$ entry.
    Rewards are a joke ,competitive modes are behind a paywall, constructed collection costs what you would spend for 1 year ahead on AAA titles.
    I am not even sure if it's only Valve's fault as Garfield has defended MTG Economy multiple times, but still **** Gaben, **** Garfield for ruining a beautiful, fun , high-skill cap game with their greed.    … Expand

    Artifact is very slow paced, it has a lot of luck involved in its gameplay, a lot of cards are broken, it is very confusing at the start and it will take a lot of time an effort to get yourself going into this card's game mechanics. It is just not good, requested a refund asap.

    Кратко и объективно по игре. Нормальная карточная игра в сетинге второй доты. Играть местами интересно, но, на мой взгляд, партия идет очень долго. После первого запуска вам кажется, что это действительно что-то очень крутое, но после 3-5 часов становится скучновато. В игре есть интересные моменты. Если бы проект выкатили как free to play игру, то я бы, возможно, посоветовал бы ее друзьям. Но есть одно маленькое(ОГРОМНОЕ) но. Это "удовольствие" стоит 20$! Ах, да. Что бы играть вам тоже надо платить!=) Для комфортной игры нужно влить 100-150$! Это перекрывает все плюсы! У меня есть один вопрос.

    - Too much RNG
    - Constructed is pay to win.
    - Broken promises like rarity != power.
    - Lack of meaningful progression system.
    - Matches take too long.
    - Badly implemented rank / ladder system.
    - Chat system doesn't work.
    - Boring art / cards.

    This is NOT the game for the general audience, Artifact was made and tailored for the select few, either too rich to care about any costs associated OR people with a solid background of highly-competitive Tabletop Card Games (real-life or digital).

Any other person probably won't be able to enjoy it in its current state. If you're looking to broaden your game repertoire or discover the genre, the Artifact is NOT for you.

    First, PROS. What the game does succeed to present, it presents well.
    The mechanical aspect is superb. It's an amalgam of the familiar tabletop gameplay and some new elements which greatly expands the play-space.
    Games are usually close, there are lots of ways of playing from behind to turn tables around.
    The card artwork is good. Lots of big names are on the artist list, and it's pretty consistent in all its variability.
    The sound palette is stunning. Every music track is vibrant, distinct and fits the board situation well.
    The lore depth is enormous: Artifact draws from the Dota 2 universe and expands on it, this finds reflection in the sound design: cards interact with other cards present and react to the situation on board. Every card has its voice-acted description and all the characters involved are cross-referenced in one way or another.
    Lore and card interactions are actually the main reasons I bought this game.

    Second, CONS. Almost everything above is muddied and made corrupt in one way or the other.
    Aftifact announcement, post-announce management, presentation and beta were horrendous. Several key features promised way before beta are still missing (you can't spectate others in-game, for example) and people feel betrayed by the fact that e-celebs had almost a year of experience before anyone else got to try it. Valve is as silent as ever.
    Monetisation model is questionable. You pay a hefty sum upfront, then you pay to complete your desired deck, there is no way to gain cards other than winning the gauntlet or buying them from the Steam Marketplace.
    The frequent complaint is about the RNG nature of the game. I absolutely don't mind it, after all it's all about managing the hand you've been dealt, but there is lots of things that can go not your way at any point and step of the game. Tutorials don't cover those in enough depth, so only experience would help.
    The receding player base led to a very unfair (skill-wise) match-ups: don't expect to win if you're reading this. People who know what they are doing are the last remaining players in the game. Casual matches are impossible.
    The music is fantastic, yet there are only around five tracks (Caravan, Red Mist, Aghanim's Obsession, Immoral Dreams, Fires of Rebellion and main theme?). Those get old very fast, considering the average match goes for at least 20 minutes.
    There is no way to exchange cards with your friends (or share a pool of cards when you play tournament), you can't even play 1 on 1 in the same way you can play versus a bot. You can't transfer or share any value in any other way than the Marketplace.
    Game optimization is nonexistent. Don't expect it to run well if your hardware is lacking, don't expect it to run at all if you're on a laptop. Prepare to google if you're on linux.

    Last, CONCLUSIONS

    If you are interested solely in the mechanics of the game, you could play javascript draft simulator, javascript artifact clone, in fact those tools were made by the community even before the open beta.
    If you fell in love with the Lore, the comics and dota2wiki will probably make your day.
    If you like the OST, you can find all the tracks on youtube.

    There is simply no reason to buy this game right now, it's not worth the money for the average gamer.    … Expand

Sure you can sell them on the Steam Marketplace, but they are only worth a penny since the rare - and good - cards that everyone wants are the only ones people are looking for. At upwards of $30 for a single good card (like Axe), this absolutely reeks of pay-to-win. If this game instead had a way for everyone to be on a level playing field, but also allowed monetization on the side (such as opening packs for a chance of foil cards, which would be ultra-rare and high-value), it would be less on the nose and less offensive. Other digital TCG's, such as hearthstone, also have annoying monetization schemes, but with one key difference - there is a way to get card packs while playing, albeit slowly. This means that theoretically, everyone is on an even playing field since given enough playtime, everyone can eventually get all the needed cards. This game doesn't offer that, and as such has no way for any player to get any needed cards without paying - either through the market, or through card packs.

    I honestly believe that this game's overall legacy, longevity, competitiveness, and overall quality are all being effected by a system which is, at it's core fundamental level, worthless and adds nothing to an otherwise amazing game.

    It's a real shame, since it's obvious Valve put a lot of effort and polish into this, but tying the good cards to rarity seems to completely undermine the skill and balance of the game at it's core, something I expected from a lesser company. This is egregious, and unfortunate.    … Expand

    This monetization means you can't pick up and play with friends. You can't try it out to see how it's going to be. And you can't just play casually.

    So...now, lets put this example. If you give this game F2P, you put some progression system, even if farming is unlanced long, you put your microtransaction to get the tickets and create a coin to the game...I am sure you would get at leas a 70%-80% rating, because the game isnt bad. And of course, I think you would get more potential money from 200k of players. I never though I would say someday that I want microtransactions LOL XD

    I am not a hater, but I put you 0 because it is the only way to punish you and of course, for counter fanboys (and rich blind people who support these practices). And of course, I refunded my game after knowing all these bad decisions, just in my point of view...

Я купил игру за 1500 рублей и получил тонну негатива. Баланса нет, донат везде и всюду. Чтобы выигрывать, нужны нормальные колоды, которые не собрать без доната никак, про рейтинг забудьте.

    The premise of the game is good but the actual gameplay is both somewhat monotonous and overly luck based.

    Combined with a new monetization model that is Pay2Pay2Win made me get turned off this game. Wish I could have refunded it but they've smartly done it so that's not possible.

    It's just some piece of junk! There is no complex 3D environment, however, the game is insanely slow on my laptop, on which I can normally play, for example, in a much more complex "Witcher 3". By default, the game starts at the maximum resolution (which is 4K). In order to improve performance, I decided to try to reduce the resolution, but the game does not have a full-screen mode.    EN:

By default, the game starts at the maximum resolution (which is 4K). In order to improve performance, I decided to try to reduce the resolution, but the game does not have a full-screen mode. So, it launched in a small window on 1/4 of the screen. It is impossible to see anything on such a little screen. Can't use this! Wasted money. And can't get my money back. Thanks Valve for this disaster!

    RU: Это просто какой-то кусок дерьма. В игре нет никакого сложного 3D-окружения, однако игра тормозит у меня на ноутбуке, на котором прекрасно идет даже Ведьмак 3. А знаете почему? Потому что в игре нельзя поменять разрешение. У меня 4К дисплей на ноутбуке и игра запускается в этом разрешении. При попытке уменьшить разрешения до 2К, например, игра запускается в окне. У нее нет полноэкранного режима! Это нонсенс! В итоге, у меня игра показывается на четверть экрана и всё настолько мелкое, что прочитать ничего невозможно. Полный бред. Зря выкинутые деньги. Не покупайте это дерьмо. Я запросил возврат средств, при том, что соблюдены все условия, я играл меньше 2 часов, я не трогал внутриигровые предметы. Но мне было отказано. Видимо, слишком много кто пытается вернуть деньги за эту поделку и они устали возвращать.    … Expand

For the casual gamer it is an enticement to sink your dollars into in hopes to create a few decks. You will have no incentive to play. No rewards. No quest. No Ladder. No nothing, even the visual cards are unexciting. Play HS or another form of entertainment don't waste your time funding the tournaments in which you are most unlikely to play in. I hope the game fails so hard and that all the streamers pumping it up, for them fall flat on their ass.… Expand

    An absolutely cash grab, having to pay a fee of R$ 78,00 just to play ($20), just to be surprised with the fact that every card has a price, making it already competitive broken (Strongest card is R$ 80, more expensive than the game itself).

    Complex and challenging card game, but with some fundamental flaws and bad monetization system that basically killed the game even before it went out.

    Innovative mechanics designed by Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering), rules that you can grasp after just a couple of minutes, clear interface – Artifact is a great game. It’s a shame that it’s huge esports potential can be squandered, because Valve doesn’t seem to care for it enough to implement progression systems, leagues, rankings or means to comfortably communicate with rivals outside an invitation-only friendly tournament.

    In theory, a brilliant card game for a demanding audience. In reality, a concept heavily damaged by bad balancing and a truly terrible monetization system. It may yet prove to be a success in the future - but right now, this is a game for wealthy masochists only.
