    -Imp mechanics, causes soulful discomfort and negative emotions. As intended, i suppose.

    Neutral

    -Card game with the story is an excellent idea, I like it, but... too much text dialogs. It's more of the quest, than of card game. And I've expected more of the card game. Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales had a good balance between adventures, card game and story dialogs.
    -Card game itself is okay... but nothing exciting. (My experience: MTG, Hearthstone) В игре встроена еще игра- игра в дурака... Играть в дурака в 21 веке, ну это такое...
    -This game is sort of upgrade of Slay the Spire with which it have many similarities. But, some of upgrades are good, and some are redundant or/and unpleasant. For me, at least.

    I recommend you to play this game if you like (or ok with) games with tons of text dialogs, text information to analyse, interested in game thematic, and do not recommend you to try it, if you don't. Card game itself and adventure mode is very similar to Slay the Spire.    … Expand

    Black Book has an enjoyable and interesting history, unfortunately fluctuating in some passages. The card game mechanics are fun, but simplified and shallow. More could have been done!

    If you are into combining genres that include point and click adventures and card based RPG titles, yet are undeniably in love with dark and strange Slavic folklore, look no further. Black Book is a game you should not miss for the world. In any other scenario, you should at least give it a chance. It surely is not your everyday game.
