    It's not best TCG, mechanics are to simple, farm gives you small rewards, and even after all this time we have no automatic tournaments. Personally I can't understand, why Blizzard didn't give players new portraits for achieving 100/500/1500/2000 wins & more rewards, they easily could keep players motivated to continue playing. Sure, they did partially make up for this few monthes ago, butIt's not best TCG, mechanics are to simple, farm gives you small rewards, and even after all this time we have no automatic tournaments.

    The Battlegrounds section has been fun for starters, but the RNG algorithm changed so many times it's become a huge turn-off, having RNG in a game is great, and it keeps the game fresh, BUT, hitting a RNG wall where you constantly lose because some retard developer taught he coded it properly ( when it isn't coded properly ) IS NOT SOMETHING PLEASANT.

    Looking back since the game came out, and I've payed someone 100$ for a beta invitation, the first 3 expansions of the game where a small developer team made everything and kept it simple & enjoyable was great.
    This game needs transperency on the RNG and clearly prove how the math works behind, because it's like playing roulette casino with your brain, and it's annoying.    … Expand

    Excellent gameplay and presentation, with a wealth of depth and gamemodes. A tonne of fun in the beginning, especially if you have friends to play with. However in the long run it is clear the game becomes very grindy if you stick to a strictly free to play model.

To get competitive you will likely have to spend a considerable amount of money to buy and open card packs, and you'll have to repeat this whenever a new expansion comes out. That said, from a purely casual point of view the game is a lot of fun, but would really benefit from better free to play rewards.… Expand

    the normal hearthstone game mode was addictive when I started playing, but I never went much further. And the game is p2w. But the new battlegrounds mode is very good and addictive, although it also has an advantage by paying more.

    Легальное казино для детей. Кидаешь разноцветные карточки, которые стоят дороже чем любые карты IRL.

    Для карточной игры хорошо, если не считать конченного рандома, а для близзард плохо, точнее как, это уже не близзард так-то...    Легальное казино для детей. Кидаешь разноцветные карточки, которые стоят дороже чем любые карты IRL.

    + Its free.
    + it's fun.
    + Awesome user interface and OST

    - Lack of depth makes the game repetative relatively quickly.
    - Luck determines the outcome of a match more often than skill.
    - Only 1v1 game mode, 2vs2 would be a great addition to the game.

    It is "interactive," not always "fun." [-1] Plus somewhat of a pay to win video game[-1].

    If you can handle absurd misfortune[-1] *and* opponents' manners, go ahead. Some players just don't want to end their turn, but there's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes, it's due to their connection problems. Sometimes, it's because they're bots that only spam Hero Power button. Often,    It is "interactive," not always "fun."

    Some players just don't want to end their turn, but there's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes, it's due to their connection problems. Sometimes, it's because they're bots that only spam Hero Power button. Often, they're burning their time and yours for its own sake. They can use their given time to consider their moves, do something else, or (mostly) just waste their life for all I care. It is your choice to quit or stay.

    Oh yeah, the bugs and glitches. There's plenty of it. Often game-breaking[-2].

    JUST don't play this on mobile devices. Also don't lose your head over minor errors. You'll make more blunders by losing self-control. And hey, when someone says even getting your hands on this game would be a mistake, well... I won't blame 'em.    … Expand

    Très bon jeu. Dommage que se soit un pay-to-win où les cartes virtuelles valent le même prix que des vraies cartes.

    When Blizzard announced they were making a digital CCG, we all expected it to look and sound beautiful, and there was little doubt that it would be well-balanced, but I don’t think anyone anticipated this level of sophistication and subtle brilliance.

    Simple rules, high production values, low system requirements and huge tactical freedom make Hearthstone one of the best card games available. And if you take into account the free-to-play model – it’s the best one. [05/2014, p.62]

    A fine example of a great free-to-play game. Hearthstone is not only an addictive and well designed card game, but absolutely fair with gamers that do not wish to spend money on it.
