    After years of iteration as a minigame and in beta, Gwent has come into its own as a great card game. It emphasizes keen decision-making over chance, and a great back-and-forth buildup ratchets up the tension across multiple rounds. With a great variety of decks and strategies at its disposal, as well as strong incentives to play match after match, Gwent proves great ideas can come from small beginnings.

    Gwent clearly learns from other digital collectible card games that have carved their niche out of the market, but its play style offers up an entirely different type of challenge. It's one that requires some investment, and hard decisions on which Faction you'd like to invest in, but Gwent also respects your time by rewarding you for nearly every action in a match, tempting you to play just one more. Its matches could use some fine-tuning in their pacing and presentation, but Gwent is otherwise a refreshingly new take on card games that establishes itself firmly outside of the simple side activity it was in The Witcher 3.

    The price of this intricacy is that Gwent is anything but accessible... It feels both remarkably grown-up, and finely aged by its years of open development. [Jan 2019, p.120]

    Gwent’s greatest asset are its basic mechanics – simple, easy to grasp and engaging mentally. Gives the players a lot of agency and even more tactics to discover and choose from. [13/2018, p.60]

    From Witcher III minigame to a proper title: let's try GWENT's final release.

    Gwent is a nice card game, but its final version is totally different from what everyone expected.

You can get good decks fromGreat game especially if you like the Witcher universe (if you like cardgames and the witcher, this is a 6/5). You can get good decks from short easy grinds without paying, unlike most other cardgames out there. Active developers who are constantly improving the game. I love this game, and cdprojektred is currently one of the best game studios in the world, and they put in their usual love and craftsmanship into this game. For me a 5/5.… Expand

The in game rewards and progression systems are extremely giving and fair. The card art and animations are beyond compare. And the six different factions have distinct archetypes and identifies which make the game eclectic and fun. I highly recommend it!… Expand

    провел в этой игре почти 400 часов, открыто 43 из 46 ачивок в steam, хотя цели их выполнять не ставил. сейчас захожу только во время ивентовпровел в этой игре почти 400 часов, открыто 43 из 46 ачивок в steam, хотя цели их выполнять не ставил. сейчас захожу только во время ивентов из-за дополнительных бонусов. в один момент я собрал 100% карт к нескольким фракциям, потом появились новые карты, вот уже из них у меня есть не все, потому что стал играть редко.
    ярко выраженного P2W здесь не наблюдается, хотя цены на бочку с рандомными картами по 1$ - это явно перебор, но они очень быстро игровым путем зарабатывается. премиумные карты отличаются от обычных только наличием анимации. я ее вообще отключил в настройках, чтобы игра меньше ресурсов компа жрала. на все карты есть фиксированная цена в обрывках. обрывки - это одна из игровых валют. есть еще ключи, валюта для покупки бочек и метеоритная пыль для того, чтобы делать карты анимированными.
    в гвинте не обошлось без боевых пропусков, называются они путешествиями, представлены в виде двух полосок с наградами. первая полоска - бесплатная. во второй полоске, которая является платной, очень много обликов, рамок и тд. то есть косметики.
    у разрабов гвинта закончились идеи. сейчас доступны все пропуски сразу и ты можешь сам выбирать, в котором набивать награды. у меня кстати. все бесплатные награды собраны пока только в 2 боевых пропусках. играл, естественно, вообще без доната.
    на сайте игры присутствует раздел с актуальными колодами от других игроков, эти колоды копируются по одному клику, если есть в наличии все нужные карты, если их нет, то предложат за обрывки купить.
    среди русскоязычной аудитории на ютубе много стримеров по этой игре. в основном это те люди, которые хорошо играют в про ранге. у них на каналах тоже можно узнавать актуальные колоды и смотреть, как ими нужно играть.
    актуальные колоды, кстати, постоянно меняются, а в про рейтинге приходится играть колодами аж 4 фракций. по рейтингу игры за 4 фракции формируется средний рейтинг. в самый успешный мой сезон у меня максимум получалось достичь 2480 рейтинга с чем-то за какую-то из фракций. это не очень много. рейтинг - это для задротов. кроме него есть сезонные игры по особым правилам, которые меняются каждую неделю. там тоже можно выполнять ежедневные задания.    … Expand

    They ALWAYS break the game every time they release new cards, and wait at least 2 months to fix it, then repeat,almost all old or off-metaThey ALWAYS break the game every time they release new cards, and wait at least 2 months to fix it, then repeat,almost all old or off-meta decks are too weak during this time. Don't ask why almost everyone plays the same decks and the deck plays like braindead, no thinking or strategy needed, it's basically Gwent since 2021 (not related, but the card arts are now much worse now).… Expand
