Finished the story, enjoyed the game play
Fantastic. I absolutely love the Witcher franchise, and this game is no exception. Amazing story, great art style, plenty of content and a banger of a soundtrack. Lots of choices to be made, and unique encounters and puzzles which is done through Gwent. Beware though, it might get repetitive if you dislike card games in general.
Fun fact: According to the game's calendar, Gascon is only 17-18 years old throughout the main story.
card games são chatos
mas esse é do the witcher então é legal

J'aurais jamais cru m'amuser autant sur un jeu de carte.
Musique banger, bonne histoire.

In fact, the game starts off well, but then you start encountering puzzling gwent parts and the game quickly becomes unplayable. The game doesn't explain what to do in these parts and you have to look for a guide on the internet.
The graphics and visuals are very good and the story looks interesting, but the gwent system is very confusing and the game makes no effort to teach it to you. It should be like the gwent system in Witcher 3.
On the other hand, in a game where your choices are claimed to affect the story, the fact that you can't save more than once and everything you do is automatically saved is a huge design flaw.
When the game is at its easiest difficulty, it allows you to skip the gwent parts that you can't pass, but after that point, the game doesn't offer you anything in terms of gameplay. You just walk and collect resources and then read dialog and that's it. Having to skip the core mechanics ruined the gameplay for me and made me feel like I was just watching a boring interactive animated movie.
The developers of Thronebreaker couldn't understand why Witcher games are so popular. Gwent can be fun as a side content at most. Witcher 3 already had this mechanic as a side quest and it wasn't that complicated. They both complicated the system too much and tried to make a game with a gameplay consisting only of Gwent, but there was no need for Thronebreaker when there was already a game called Gwent.
Only playable if you're really into gwent. As it is, its potential is wasted and if you expect a story-driven RPG like me, you will be disappointed.
