Dec 1, 2018Without Gordon and Alyx this game makes no sense. What happened after Alyx's father died? This game just doesn't tell us.

Nov 30, 2018well valve got so damn greedy now , just stay away from valve products , example you are now forced to watch artifact advertisement in there other games without a choice to skip that, thanks valve

Nov 30, 2018An absolutely cash grab, having to pay a fee of R$ 78,00 just to play ($20), just to be surprised with the fact that every card has a price, making it already competitive broken (Strongest card is R$ 80, more expensive than the game itself).

Dec 1, 2018Не покупайте! Это слишком! 1400р игра + еще пару десятов тысяч чтоб собрать колоды! Деликов нет! Отдельные карты стоят свыше 700р! Игра только для магнатов!

Nov 28, 2018Awful gambling-based economy. Other card games relying on gambling as a card acquisition mechanic doesn't mean it's an acceptable model.

Nov 29, 2018Pay to win, pay to play, pay to pay. Pay for card packs, pay for heroes, pay for ranked. You want to make a refund? Oh, sorry, you've played more than 2 games, so you cant take your money back. Great game.
-
Nov 29, 2018Greedy fawkers.
Other digital CCGs seem to manage without making you pay to win.
This monetization means you can't pick up and play with friends. You can't try it out to see how it's going to be. And you can't just play casually.
Valve let their game go to their head. I won't be buying any more Valve games. -

Nov 30, 2018While a card game from the Dota Univer may have its appeal to some people, there is no excuse for how this game is.
Overall, Artifact is too complicated and too heavily botched with bad RNG.
Not to mention, the only currency in the game is your wallet. On the long run, this game is more expensive than HS and that is never a good thing. -
Nov 28, 2018The best card in this game is your credit card. I love Dota 2, I love the concept that you have all heores and pay only for cosmetics. Here you have pay 2 win scheme.

Nov 28, 2018There is little to compare between this and Hearthstone (another CCG).
Artifact is very slow paced, it has a lot of luck involved in its gameplay, a lot of cards are broken, it is very confusing at the start and it will take a lot of time an effort to get yourself going into this card's game mechanics. It is just not good, requested a refund asap. -
Nov 28, 2018Awful mess of a pay 2 win game. Paid game, and then you need to pay even more to play anything that lets you progress...

Nov 30, 2018**** game, no doubt, pay2win games always fail, nobody will talk about this game passed 2 months.
-
Nov 29, 2018So greedy game. You have to pay for game, you have to pay for lootboxes and you also have to pay for tickets.
-
Nov 29, 2018

Nov 28, 2018It's a decent enough card game. But it's Pay 2 Play, Pay 2 Win, Pay 2 Anything. There's no way to earn cards without paying real money, and the $20 intial price does not give you enough cards.

Nov 28, 2018Artifact is probably the best card game out there beating out uno, and cards against humanity

Dec 8, 2018I have never seen such a number of corrupt journalists. Blizz sh))t is the sh))t from scratch! but this is the sh))ty parody on the sh))t Valve!! what is going on? Gabe is tired of eating a burrito with golden sauce. And now he want to try force an audience to eat this **** for money!?!?!?

Nov 30, 2018Basically loot simulator in a nut shell. First you buy the game, then you pay to win. P2W is somewhat acceptible in F2P games, but Artifact is just a waste of your time and money.
And that is contributed by the very odd return politics. -
Nov 29, 2018Габену тупо мало бабок, сначала купи игру, а потом еще донать чтоб нормально играть. 10/10 лучшая игра
-
Dec 1, 2018-Looks worse than hearthstone
-Lots of stupid random
-Buy game does not give you the opportunity to fully play it
-Tightened uninteresting matches
-dull gameplay
-Meta of the game is not reduced to a personal skill, but to getting the necessary cards -
Dec 1, 2018spend 30$ for a game, then have to pay more money to be remotely good. TCG yes you gotta invest but these arnt physical cards, and your already paying 30$ for less than a base game . Greed.
-
Dec 14, 2018Pay2Win and donate ,donate,donate ... This game about greed at not a bad visual part

F**k Gabe
F**k Valve
F**k this s**t -
Dec 1, 2018This is the new SW:BF2. Pay for the game, pay again for the cards. Can't shard cards you don't need, only sell them on the market or buy new ones. Oh and of course Valve takes a share on each transaction! Great business model Gaben! Games drag for too long for a card game and God, there's so much RNG you will be missing Hearthstone. Don't waste your time and money on this cashgrabbing trash
-
Dec 1, 2018This is not a game, it's a shame. Go to hell, **** greedy.........................

Nov 29, 2018I'm a casual player, who not pay for game content very often (I prefer f2p system), but in my opinion Artifact is a well design and much more accessible card game than somebody of You thinking. You had to remember that there is some in game currency. You need a real cash to play this game, but on the other side You can earn that cash cause that game, and this isn't too hard.

Jan 20, 2019This game is one terrible cash grab from a beloved developer that used to give a damn about there product. now its just micro transactions or pay to win. this isn't what gamer's want... when all the wait and hype for games like left 4 dead and half life went into this.... jeez no one asked for a card game lmao. XD

Dec 6, 2018Donat, a pathetic parody of "Hearthstone" Awful visualization, all in dark colors and for the same more money.

-
Nov 29, 2018The premise of the game is good but the actual gameplay is both somewhat monotonous and overly luck based.
Combined with a new monetization model that is Pay2Pay2Win made me get turned off this game. Wish I could have refunded it but they've smartly done it so that's not possible. -

Nov 30, 2018Thanks you Gabe ((( Убил доту , убил кс , артифакт с самого начала говном вышел , пожалуй мы без half life 3 обойдемся((!!!!
-
Nov 30, 2018Classic pay-to-pay service, just give Gaber more money and THEN you can play you game. Moneyfarm for Valve.
-
Nov 29, 2018One of the best CCGs out there, tied with one of the worst bussiness models posible.
-
Nov 29, 2018No suelo dar notas muy bajas ya que creo que todo juego merece por lo menos una oportunidad, pero realmente es increíble como Valve esta intentando que la gente gaste su dinero pagando para ganar... ni siquiera se molestaron en ocultarlo.
-
Nov 30, 2018Prey "pay" to win. Vavle did good game with an interesting mechanics by i need to pay to play in this game.
-
Dec 2, 2018Just play MTGA instead. This game has an awful economy, you cannot earn ANY cards for free just by playing, the game itself isn't all that fun, everything looks pastel and ugly and the cards themselves look horrendous too.
No reason to play this over MTGA in any way. -
Dec 2, 2018So 4 critic reviews (85+80+70+63)/4 = 74.5
We looking at score that shown... 77...
I guess Valve money can defy even math nowadays... (also 1/10 cause i'm not made of cash) -
Dec 1, 2018Игра не имеет ничего общего соревновательным режимом, игра для понтов.
-
Dec 2, 2018The game is in Pay-is-Play genre. I truly hope this is an alpha-test or something.
-
Dec 4, 2018pay to play ,pay to win, no refunds , no balance
the visual component is good (the reason of 1 score instead of 0) -
Dec 4, 2018It's can't be bad because people it's a VALVE!! Лично я приветствую игру конечно со временем тут исправят проблему с pay to win.
-
Feb 17, 2019Unlimited drafting for $20 seems good to me, seems like a lot of people expect the game to pay them for some reason...
-
Dec 4, 2018Худшая ККИ из всех. Жопный высер гейба, и дело не в донате, отвратительно все, арты, музыка, партии невероятно затянуты и скучны. Впустую потратил 20$. Больше не куплю ни 1 проекта от valve.
-
Dec 5, 2018I am greatly disappointed in Valve as a company and the development team itself.
We expected something fun and playable for everyone, instead we got a cash-grab that humanity has never even seen before... -

Dec 2, 2018And for this crap you abandoned dota? Game tells you literally from the start that if you play 1 match, you're not eligible for a refund. Be aware of this, don't accept.

Mar 5, 2019Complex and challenging card game, but with some fundamental flaws and bad monetization system that basically killed the game even before it went out.
-
CD-ActionFeb 6, 2019Innovative mechanics designed by Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering), rules that you can grasp after just a couple of minutes, clear interface – Artifact is a great game. It’s a shame that it’s huge esports potential can be squandered, because Valve doesn’t seem to care for it enough to implement progression systems, leagues, rankings or means to comfortably communicate with rivals outside an invitation-only friendly tournament. [01/2019, p.58]

Jan 15, 2019In theory, a brilliant card game for a demanding audience. In reality, a concept heavily damaged by bad balancing and a truly terrible monetization system. It may yet prove to be a success in the future - but right now, this is a game for wealthy masochists only.
