Amidst The Witcher 3's resurgence, I must recommend Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
I remain unconvinced after trying it. Based on what I experienced, its version of Gwent wasn't nearly as entertaining, while moving through the overworld became rapidly tedious. A saving grace might come with the narrative, though you must first be accepting of its lower production values (though still notable for what it is) and the not-so-fun interactions, from combat to exploration.
I think it's a good distraction for Witcher fans, but not the piece to fall in love with its universe.

Bought during the sales and didnt enjoy the changes to gwent so bounced off the game. It seemed complex in a confusing way.
Thronebreaker is fantastic, they finally added a quality spanish dub that uses the same type of language as the books and only for that its excellent for any of the spanish book readers. TW1 had an atrocious spanish dub made by Atari, TW2 and 3 didnt have a spanish dub, but the spanish subtitles were incredibly meh, not capturing the essence of how each character talks.
Also Queen Meve is a great character. I loved so much that the story in the game is in the middle of the books this times instead of a sequel.
The character art is absolutely lovely also.

EatChildren the game is currently at 75% off on GOG if you have the other Witcher games in there. It was at 50% yesterday though (right after I read this thread), so this might have been some new promotion.
It seems to be tied to owning every single game (I don't own the board game on GOG). If I select just Thronebreaker it's $19.49CDN (50% off). If I also add the $1 board game, it drops to $9.79.
I'm absolutely in at that price.
Wonderful game, and it's a damn shame we'll not see another. I'd do terrible things for a CRPG in the Witcher universe with that art.
Oh, shit. Thanks for the info! The only Witcher game (besides Thronebreaker) I didn't have on GOG was the Witcher Adventure Game, but after adding it to my cart it applied the 75% discount. For that price it's a no brainer.
Great game with a amazing protagonist.
Also recommend Gwent you cowards. Current meta is pretty welcoming for newcomers and the support has been great this past year.

Yes! She was awesome. Her design, dialogue and especially voice acting were superb!
I loved the exploration, choices, characters and story. The actual Gwent though I wasnt a fan and this is from someone who loved it in Witcher 3.
Still highly recommend it though.
In all honesty, the story and overall writing I think is better than the majority of the main story in Witcher 3 (which I still liked), but the political and intrique side of the story is miles better than what ever was in Witcher 3 - I would even say it's on the same level as Witcher 2 main story, which in my opinion is still the best political writing in any game released to this day
+ the characters are all unique, interesting, funny, tragic.. music is fantastic, as it is always the case with a Witcher game and so is the voice acting.. atmosphere is great, C&C (choices and consenquences) system is one of the best and it has many, many difficult (grey) moral choices with unexpected consenquences.. many little details in the gameworld, characters and writing.. ton of fun content for such a type of a game
