Tons of absolutely gorgeous art and rich with lore BUT it quickly became weighted down with the battle pass and microtransactions around the time it was removed from PS4. It has become bloated and much more difficult to keep with as a casual player due to there being simply overwhelming variety as more and more is added to keep making sales.
One of the best card game ever created that makes the lore flourish like any other witcher's game, great mecanics and awesome card art keeped up by talentuous artist. Unfortunately, and like many games, it is affected by this disgracious disease called "meta" that prevent you to play with customs and unique deck if you wish too climb. Early gwent was golden age, including the beta.
I played at top 2000s pro rank at peak, genuinely the best card game I've played in terms of style and mechanics. I think overall Nilfgaard should win the war and the north are uncivilised, uncultured barbarians tbh. Never empathised with those absolute serfs.
There used to be an oversight where you could see what the enemy player was highlighting. I used this to annoy and distract the enemy while he was losing by highlighting repeatedly the cards in his hand that he was trying to look at. This is actually very very annoying and I'm glad they eventually removed it. However, you won't get anywhere if you're still having to do maths and think about your own deck's combos, come on now.

Definitely one of my favorite card games out there. Gwent is such an iconic cardgame, even inside the Witcher 3 game, but on it's own it really is an absolute fantastic game. I was really lucky to be able to get one of the more rarer achievements as my final one when I played with a friend. Definitely going to still continue playing this from time to time though.
