    Removed this game from PS. The game is too complicated. Two decks is in meta, all another are trash

    Это не гвинт, а совершенно другая игра, с совершенно другими правилами. Совсем не люблю карточные игры, но гивнт в ведьмак 3 поразил своей лёгкостью и простотой правил и я сделал для него исключение. Тут же деффолтная карточная игра, каких достаточно на игровом рынке.Это не гвинт, а совершенно другая игра, с совершенно другими правилами.

    Shamelessly unbalanced , poor matchmaking and pay to win overtones. Broken decks . Spent over 1600 hours across all platforms and a seldom review anything but don't go near it. It sucks.

On top of that I dont understand the business model of developers - after destroying my collection of cards from beta I got enough scraps to have ALL cards in Homecoming and half of the scraps still left (and my beta collection was not full). I think this game will be dead soon as it will not be profitable.… Expand

    Problem with Gwent is that after a beta of two years they decided to stop right before the game was actually completed, favoring a revamp of the mechanics that chenged it radically.

    Nothing was left of real Gwent in favor of an hybrid that feels like a poor clone of a crossing between Hearthstone and Yu Gi Oh.

Probably you will become furious to play more to be better but game design is in that way to deceive you to make you more play to serve you to those pay to winners in a golden plate. So, pay to winners will humiliate you, crush you, laugh you at behind their screen. If you are a rich person and have a low life quality of a gamer, you can spend your easy earned money for those p2w games. 'cause money is a hard thing to earn for many people but somehow you earn it easily.. cheated others in real life. It's your money?! Maybe not but what makes you a decent person is your decisions.

    Be aware, the publisher has a tendency to kill platforms. Because CD project red ditched ps4 support, I lost access to hundreds of euros worth of cards.

    It is a free-to-play game, so if you have gambling addiction, then stay away from it.

    It is a free-to-play game, so if you have gambling addiction, then stay away from it. Also the game is quite mediocre, and it feels as cdpr are more interested in selling cards than having a good card game.

    Here is my story, hopefully others can avoid this:

    I ended up spending over 500 euro on this, so I could own every premium card (best card quality).

    They even manipulated me. You see you have a collection with the cards that you own. Yet in the agreement that no one reads, they own everything in the game and can take everything away from you. (blatant lie towards the playerbase, "yes you see the game says you own this card, you can own more of them :) " ...) Not sure if this is legal/illegal, but it surely is a **** practice.

    So I spent a lot money and time to get full collection and got it, Then there was an update, and all collections got reset, with players receiving scraps (you craft cards with scraps). I was not happy with the changes, and decided to take a 2month break. When I return they had made an economy change, where powder is required to craft premium cards (and cdpr gave me scraps for my premium collection, WP!!!) Clever way to devalue my collection.

    So here I am, lost a game that I adored, and my 500euro spent got devalued by the company.
    Therefore I can not recommend this game, CDPR can not be trusted with your money, and they take no responsibility/accountability with their actions.    … Expand

    BEFORE YOU THINK A SCORE OF 0 IS UNJUSTIFIED PLEASE READ THIS! CDPR took huge amounts of real money from the players during a 1.5 year Beta, then they scrapped the entire game and re-used all the card artwork for a new game they called Gwent: Homecoming, which they refer to as the "release version".

Nothing about Homecoming is the same game though and this is absolutely a bait-and-switch scheme. I only put $20 into the beta but i know people that put over $200 into that game which no longer exists anymore. They've not only sworn off CDPR but all beta's in general after this travesty. If any other company decided to pull this kind of stunt they would be crucified but since it's CDPR they get a free pass because the gaming industry needs someone to love and if not CDPR then who?

    All the card's abilities were changed going into "release state" which is a pretty big deal because that's the entire gameplay in a card game. Not only that but all the game's mechanics were removed or changed, things like Mulligans, Hand Limit, Leaders, Card Categories. Everything was dumbed down considerably to appeal to the broadest audience possible while adding a ton of RNG to what was a skill based game . What you ended up with is a completely UNTESTED buggy mess of a launch version that took nothing from it's long Beta. It's like an imposter stole Gwent's skin and is walking around in it and what's crazy is that there are actually people who like this skin stealing game because they never played the original . That is why I give this game an emotional 0 and i don't think it's an exaggeration at all. What CDPR did was actually criminal.    … Expand

    They ALWAYS break the game every time they release new cards, and wait at least 2 months to fix it, then repeat,almost all old or off-meta decks are too weak during this time. Don't ask why almost everyone plays the same decks and the deck plays like braindead, no thinking or strategy needed, it's basically Gwent since 2021 (not related, but the card arts are now much worse now).

    Gwent’s greatest asset are its basic mechanics – simple, easy to grasp and engaging mentally. Gives the players a lot of agency and even more tactics to discover and choose from. [13/2018, p.60]

    The price of this intricacy is that Gwent is anything but accessible... It feels both remarkably grown-up, and finely aged by its years of open development. [Jan 2019, p.120]
