    The Elder Scrolls: Legends probably the best pc card game out there !
    Rock solid systems, and a clearly talented team of card designers who are responsive to feedback.

    While some players new to the Elder Scrolls and/or TESLegends may find the color palette a bit plain, the dynamic gameplay and mechanics of TESLegends is just fantastic, with less focus on RNG mechanics and more on tactical gameplay.

The game is very generous with rewards for 'soul gems' to craft decks as well as gold for arena tickets and other items. The game has multiple gamemodes from casual pvp to story elements and arena, each with their own unique flavor - great to have options to play different modes. Definitely a must if you are a fan of CCG's and a great introduction to the world of the Elder Scrolls. Love it.… Expand

    Have played several TCG's and TESL has been the best to date. The reward system feels really good. The dynamic game play makes it feel more interesting than the competitors. My biggest hope is that the game catches on and gets additional support.

    Really fun game with a lot of depth, there are so many deck building possibilities and it really barely takes any time at all to create a very competitive deck and pilot it to legend.

    Balance : ✔ (just ignore who says "there is no balance" .. You cant expect perfect balance for every card. If you are looking perfect balance, every card should be 1/1 and 1 mana.. Just learn to build a deck..)

    NOT p2w : ✔✔✔ (who says "game is p2w or expensive" just ignore them.. I can play with semi-budget decks in top 100.. Just check google.. You can see low lvl, low collection players in top 100)

    Board Design : ✘ (mediacore.. Its a simple board.. Design rly bad.. No alternative boards etc..)

    Cosmetics : ✘ (cosmetics are meh!)

    TL;DR
    Gameplay is too good for a card game..
    But cosmetics are bad!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I`ve spend about 30 hours on the game for the last 2 weeks. The story line gets very interesting in the 2nd half. The story line for the expansion is great as well.

    I`ve seen more variety online then while playing hearthstone. This might be why i had more fun with this game. Its easyer to get the cards you want compared to gwent or hearthstone. I did not have trouble building a somewhat competitive deck with it. Ranked it to the 8th level.

    It does only take about 15-20 seconds to find a match and arena is quite fun. I can see myself play this game a little bit for each day. It was very fun to play so far. Nice art and music. A lot of avatars and progression to be made with leveling system as well.    … Expand

    Отличная и качественная ККИ, очень радует наличие многих знакомых персонажей, арт дизайн на высочайшем уровне, хотя игре требуется перебалансировки некоторых аспектов как по мне.

    I came to Legends from Hearthstone just to check it out, but I instantly fell in love with it and as a result I found myself playing Hearthstone less and less and Legends more and more. Gameplay is really good, art is beautiful (it doesn't look like it's designed for 3 year olds like HS) and meta/decks seem to be very well balanced. Climbing the ladder each season is also much less tediousI came to Legends from Hearthstone just to check it out, but I instantly fell in love with it and as a result I found myself playing Hearthstone less and less and Legends more and more.

Climbing the ladder each season is also much less tedious as there is a checkpoint on every rank.

    The only problems I see is slightly clunky and slow UI/menus and completing your card collection full of various multiple legendaries can be very slow, especially with no legendary duplicate filter active, even in Hearthstone you cannot get duplicate legendaries anymore, so this is definitely something to improve in the future.

    Overall, with some additional work, code optimization and mentioned card collection improvements, TESL can easily become the best card game on the market. 9/10    … Expand

    To sum up the people who give low points to the game, they have no idea how to play the game properly nor grasped the basic mechanics. It's a well designed card game with mechanics similar to Hearthstone. It is by far one of the most generous online CCG's on the market, the game is spewing rewards at you.

The dev team "Direwolf Digital" address major balancing issues (which are actual issues, not just an outcry from a few baddies) in relatively short time. It is continuously updated with expansions and monthly cards. As I'm writing this review there are multiple competitively viable decks with a wide range of cost. It has micro transactions but they are by no mean necessary to enjoy the core game, in fact, it offers gold alternatives and "started decks" that are incredibly cost efficient for the amount of cards you get.… Expand

    It’s not as pretty as Hearthstone and its lack of responsiveness is sometimes annoying, but Dire Wolf Digital tackled gameplay mechanics expertly, making The Elder Scrolls Legends Hearthstone’s main rival. [06/2017, p.73]

    The Elder Scrolls: Legends does not invent the card, but adds its particular point of view with small innovations that result in interesting and fresh multiplayer matches.

    The Elder Scrolls: Legends offers lots of bells and whistles - a story-driven campaign, lots of ways to build your deck, and pretty graphics. But it lacks character; the game feels too mundane. After all the emotions of every combat there is almost nothing left that makes you want to play the game again.
