    I started playing this game in 2015 and am still playing in 2023. Honestly, I can't give an objective review of this game. However, the quality of recent expansions has been spotty, so I'm not giving it a 10.

    Hearthstone is a remarkably enjoyable and finely-crafted card game. Coming from someone who typically isn't drawn to card games, it managed to hook me in. Being intertwined with the Warcraft universe is definitely a major plus, but even if you look solely at its gameplay, it's undoubtedly a solid 10/10 in my books.

    Good introduction to card games, can be good to unwind and just have fun with new expansions and packs

    It did not fail me to entertain. What else can we expect from this game? You did not marry it, did you?

    In my opinion, they used well the capabilities a pc offers to a card game. Mechanics like rng, fast pace, instant deck effects made it unique as one of the first serious card games for pc. As a negative, in order to gain profit they made it "pay to accelerate". Also after many releases it is normal to release bad or unpopular expansions.

    I have spent probably more than a 1000 hours in this game and also introduced the addiction to my girlfriend. Its a simple game, and I could best compare it to like a bag of chips. You crave it, but after having it doesn't feel fulfilling at all. But a bag of chips from time to time is always nice. And gotta give credit to Blizzard for giving this much content for free.

    Falando do hearthstone clássico, que não era pay to win e era sobre habilidade e não em sorte, é 10 o jogo que teve e ainda deve ter as melhores artes e dublagens. Eu engoli esse jogo n parei de jogar por meses diversão pura antigamente. (hoje em dia o jogo é pay to win)

    Love this game, play it every now and then. I have to say, that I don't play regular ranked as much, as I rather play the Battlegrounds mode and the occasional duels/arena. Highly rate that, but I do acknowledge that this game definitely has some pay 2 win issues if playing the regular ranked game mode. But for a free game, you can have a lot of fun without spending a dime.

    The game is great. I play battlegrounds. But I do not believe the characters and minions are random. The hits are so perfectly made against me. For example, my hyenas always get hit, my death rattles off the bat, my Baron, etc. It seems no matter what is done the enemy always has the perfect hits. And if you play a hero over and over, the game will go against you and never cooperate. IThe game is great. I play battlegrounds. But I do not believe the characters and minions are random.

And if you play a hero over and over, the game will go against you and never cooperate. I understand you can’t win every game, that would be ridiculous. But there is some weird system that is used when you refresh enemies or use certain hero’s. This is a pay to win game for sure. People who pay always win, and Murlocs always win unless you have the hero that gives you a dragon each turn. Certain hero’s always win. Expand

    This is the best card game you can play. Unfortunately it falls into the same trap that all collectable card games fall into. Too many cards get created and the game shifts dynamics ans deprecates your collection. $300 into the rabbit hole and I had to quit.

    The best game in its genre. One of the only games in which you can relax. But unfortunately, it can be boring, so I can’t put 10, but 9 is possible.

    Hearthstone is one of the best card games for pc nowadays. The simple mechanics and cool animations makes it so good. I'd like to give it a 10, but there is one thing that upsets me, the fact that is too pay to win.

    The best strategy card game I have played! The matchmaking is really good and the ranking system is genius. The intro/tutorial is perfect for anyone who hasn't played a card game before.

    It's a great game if you like a slight challenge and art that's just fun to look at, but I want to talk about the 500+ **** people saying that this game is PTW.

It is definitely not pay to win, because I myself have not spent a dime on that game and I have 500 wins on ranked matches. On top of that, you pay to get a card pack, which gives you random cards and none of those cards are guaranteed to be a great card. On top of THAT, there are no cards in this game that automatically hand you a win on a silver platter, you need to either boost your skill, or play dungeon runs and bot matches. Simply put, git gud **** wads. If this game is too hard for you, then fine, it's too hard for you, but for the love of god don't go on Meta-critic talking about how much you hate the game just because you suck at it. Expand

    Лучшая ККИ в цифровом формате.
    10 баллов ставлю потому , что многие неразумные люди явно занижают игре оценку.
    Сам бы я поставил 8 или 9 баллов из 10.Всё зависит от последнего дополнения. Если хорошее, то оценка выше , если нет то соответственно наоборот. Минусы конечно есть , но у конкурентов всё совсем тухло , так что мне на эту тему сказать нечего. О плюсах: игра ф2п(привет Артифакт

    О плюсах: игра ф2п(привет Артифакт со входом за 1300р ... ) ,можно фармить новые карты играя ф2п(если научится катать аренки, то на изи можно всё иметь в игре, т.к. дейлики, бонусы за вход и так далее), бесплатные приключения(провел в них бесчисленное кол-во часов), потасовки, ладдер и т.д. Короче контента очень много.Я бы даже сказал на эту тему матом, но не буду :)
    Ну и так по мелочи. Типа того , что игра по Варику и всё такое(стримы,большое коммьюнити)

    P.s. Про минусы, которые в каждом первом отрицательном обзоре.
    Да донат присутствует, но всё можно получить бесплатно. В отличие от ... опять же привет жирному Гейбу.
    Арены можно катать бесконечно. В ладдер пускают не за донат. Бесплатного контента овер дофига 1им словом.А уж задонатив, можно собрать все компететив деки разом , так что не надо тут гнать ...

    Хотите увидеть настоящий донат?Попробуйте собрать, хотя бы одну играбельную-турнирную колоду в картонной Мотыге, тогда и поговорим.

    I really enjoy Hearthstone, but I think that is because I have been playing since day 1. I have never invested any money, and have yet to complete the original "classic" card set - However I am close. I can definitely see how people are frustrated by this game if you are brand new or cannot spend money on it. The new cards are infinitely better than the old cards - So unless you are onI really enjoy Hearthstone, but I think that is because I have been playing since day 1.

I can definitely see how people are frustrated by this game if you are brand new or cannot spend money on it. The new cards are infinitely better than the old cards - So unless you are on the money treadmill you will lose A LOT. These days I can usually get to lvl 19 just by using the premade "basic" decks from the various classes. If you are a parent, I would definitely prevent your kids from spending money on this unless you want to go broke. Expand

    - single player is so hard...even for skilled players
    - sometimes is game bit frustrating because of very hard ladder climbing, especially on highest ranks
    - it´s important to check the meta sometimes, new strategies and it´s good to see some pro players how they think about game situations and what decks they builds...so, the game is easy to play, but hard to master. If you´re not so much into card games, then this maybe the reason why not play this game and try f.e. Clash Royale which is much easier to master

    I played HS till its release but after two years the game was not fun anymore. I came back to the hearthstone before six months, found out a very different game, with new mechanics, plenty of new cards and now I think it is more suitable for begginers. Blizzard take care about HS as much as they can and they are doing just grest. The best card game nowadays.

    Hearthstone is a one of a kind experience that no other card game can pull off that also sadly requires a lot of money to enjoy to its full potential. If I were to rate this game as if I were a free to play player, I'd give it a 7.5/10.

    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.
