Beautiful game, great story, pretty linear progression but your choices matter throughout the game. You will get your choices thrown back at you.

The good:
Thronebreaker lets you roleplay as a battle-hardened queen who flips the bird to destiny while leading armies through a war-torn continent. The story is dripping with that premium Witcher-grade cynicism and dark wit that makes you snort-laugh at moral dilemmas. Hand-painted visuals are stupidly beautiful, the voice work slaps harder than a troll’s club, and the card battles make every victory feel like you personally outsmarted Satan. Watching Meve go from “exiled ruler” to “walking war crime” is chef’s kiss levels of cathartic.
The bad:
Those card duels start off fresh and sneaky but eventually repeat the same dance moves until you’re praying for a new trick. Side content sometimes feels like royal busywork designed by a bored scribe with a fetish for hidden chests. The campaign pacing hits the brakes harder than a virgin on prom night, leaving you twiddling your thumbs between epic moments.
The ugly:
Your army on the world map moves like a group of hungover dwarves playing Twister. Random characters love phase-shifting through tents and wagons like budget ghosts. A handful of choices promise drama but deliver the narrative equivalent of someone forgetting their lines mid-play. Gorgeous on the surface, but the occasional jank reminds you it’s still a video game, not actual magic.
The verdict:
8.5/10 - Story-Driven RPG Card Battler

Not fun.
