    This game is just awesome. The story is amazing with interesting and engrossing characters and the gameplay is fun and surprisingly innovative. It has a lot of twists and makes you think. I just love how story and card gameplay create this epic tale in your head. Very refreshing

    Before I played Thronebreaker I asked a friend whether he had played it or not. He hadn't and had only heard bad things about this game.

He hadn't and had only heard bad things about this game. Going in, I had zero expectations concerning Thronebreaker and I was wondering if I made a mistake buying it. I couldn't have been more wrong. The story? Perfect. The soundtrack? Amazing. The characters? Flawless. Hotel? Trivago. Defying all odds, Meve grew to be one of my favorite videogame characters of all time. I can 100% recommend this game, that is, if you like Gwent (or digital collectible card games in general). Because if you don't I can almost assure you that you won't like Thronebreaker.… Expand

    CDPR pulled an ace up its sleeve and proved once again that it can write an engaging story with the characters we care about. Gameplay is diverse, and every gwent battle is a bit different, and it's not that easy to win a battle or solve a puzzle here. As for the audiovisual setting, it is made professionally.

Gameplay is diverse, and every gwent battle is a bit different, and it's not that easy to win a battle or solve a puzzle here. As for the audiovisual setting, it is made professionally. It is true that the game is not three-dimensional, we do not have a third-person view here like in AAA games, but its quality and scale (for a card game) is at the level of AAA games. The creators took care of the details and, apart from a few exceptions, it is a complete work.… Expand

    Thronebreaker is a feast for those collectible card games fans who don’t care for online play or tournaments and instead would like to follow a well-written story that introduces an array of vivid characters and presents you with tough choices. [12/2018, p.56]

    Overall, Thronebreaker is a revolutionary game within the CCG genre, and I hope other companies take note. With a 40-hour story to support an engaging card game, there's nothing else quite like it, and its unique nature is to its overall benefit. It's made me realize how much I can and do enjoy card games when they're done right.

    A singleplayer version of Gwent, that sounds boring, but it actually is amusing. It's written very well and tactical it knows how to challenge a gamer.
