| AuthenticZac 06/29/20 4:55:29 PM #95: | From your message in the last topic, @Leanaunfurled Does anyone here have experience with Thronebreaker? Despite all the W3 love, Thronebreaker seems like it flew under the radar and I don't hear much about it. Just put in about 5 hours into the game, completing the first chapter (act?), and here's my first impressions: Good story, but I don't know if I'd call it great. As I said before though, my knowledge of the Witcher series is limited, so I'm sure that plays a part in my experience (I believe it takes place before the series too, so for those familiar with the lore, it'd serve to explain certain events) The game itself has you walking around large maps, looting trees and such for resources that you will then use to either craft new cards (which is extremely limited in the first act), or on the various sidequests. Sidequests, some of which, has some rather large consequences. I won't go in to specifics, but with one choice alone, I ended up bricked off from a certain area, as well as potentially powerful cards. Was almost tempted to restart, but figure I'd accept the choice (even if it wasn't 100% what I intended). Then there is Gwent, which is supposed to be the focal point of the game, almost takes a backseat to the story. More often than naught, you'll find yourself doing Gwent-puzzles more than actual games of gwent. Again, it might change in future chapters, but Act-1 was a bit sparse. Also, as a bonus, by owning Thronebreaker you get some loot-crates/avatars/cosmetics/other stuff in the stand-alone version of Gwent, which, depending on how much you play, might make it an even better value. --- ...
