Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales Reviews

Great lore for witcher fans. Very good gameplay too.

Unparalleled storytelling, impressive artwork, delightful puzzles and just an all-around incredible experience I'm trying my hardest to prolong. I really do not wish for it to end...

This game is truly marvelous. The art style is incredible, and the voice acting is amazing, there is such soul and care in every aspect. The gameplay is incredibly fun and addictive. Its so easy to get wrapped up in making the perfect deck to punish enemies. Its fantastic as a standalone story, and adds some very interesting background to the Witcher series (and the books) which is a bonus. Can't recommend this one enough.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is an incredible blend of storytelling, strategy, and card-based combat set in The Witcher universe. The game nicely combines exploration and decision-making with engaging Gwent-style battles. The art, voice acting, and writing are also very good, delivering an experience that feels both immersive and rewarding. Whether you're a fan of the Witcher franchise or just love strategy RPGs with card game elements, this game is a hidden gem well worth playing.

This game worth going out of my way to 100% achievements, as a sign of respect for the labor of love it is. Literally every aspect is flawless: the story, the writing, the voice acting, the gameplay, the music, the visuals are so uniquely relevant to this world it's ridiculous. It is truly a beautiful work of art, and a brilliant experience. A must buy especially for Witcher universe and/or Gwent fans.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales offers a solid single-player adventure that incorporates Gwent's card game mechanics into its combat system. The story is engaging, especially for fans of The Witcher universe, though it's not necessary to have prior knowledge of the series. The game takes place long before the events of the first Witcher game, telling a tale parallel to one of the stories in the books, which provides valuable context to events in the Witcher games. As you explore the map with your "army," you'll engage in a variety of combat encounters, meet a various NPCs who may join your party and gather resources to upgrade your camp, which grants useful bonuses as you progress. The puzzles can be challenging on the hardest difficulty, but they’re fairly accessible on normal, even for those who are unfamiliar with Gwent or digital card games. Overall, Thronebreaker is a well-rounded game that should offer around 30 hours of fun, especially if you’re aiming to complete the main story and most side quests on a higher difficulty. If you're seeking a story-driven adventure with puzzle-solving, strategy, and RPG elements, this game is definitely worth a try. It’s a good idea to wait for a sale of 30% or more for the best value.

one of my favourite games ever. one of the best games ever made imo. i found this deeply stimualting, interesting, engaging, complex and emotional. meve as a main character was the perfect choice and the story was very compelling and painful, in a very good way. fucking reynard (i mean this positively). maybe it's just because i'm always a simp for blond middle-aged women in positions of authority, but hey... can you blame a woman for lovin' this game deserves so so so so so so much more money and recognition and attention and praise <33333333333333333333

Loved the story and experimenting with my deck. Be warned, this is just Gwent. If you don't like Gwent then you wont like this.

I usually never leave reviews, but this game is definitely worthy of the highest praise. From the voice acting, the narration, the characters, the music and the gameplay, everything is top-notch. If you enjoy playing Gwent and a good story, I promise this game is worth every penny. The positive: - Beautiful art and music - Fantastic voice acting and narration - A compelling story with in-depth world-building and expansion upon the Witcher universe - A colorful cast of diverse characters and companions - A creative spin on the original Gwent gameplay with puzzle stages and shortened battles on top of classic battles - Your choices actually matter! Often, in ways that you can't possibly anticipate and with consequences that you'll sometimes only uncover several acts later! - Replay value, not only to see how the different choices influence the outcome of the story, but also because the game allows you to build a vast number of decks, each focused on a different strategy. Things that could have been better: - I found that even on 'bonebreaker' difficulty, after act 2, the game can sometimes not be challenging enough. - The answers to a handful of the puzzles can be a little too obvious.

If you like gwent, this is the single player experience you need. The battles are difficult and there's a lot of puzzles to solve.
