The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in September 2026. 37 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Trials of Fire ($19.99, scores 64) and Nowhere Prophet ($6.24, scores 26) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

The worst part is you have this persistent resource (mana) across battles but you have no idea when to expend it because 1. you can only cast one spell per turn and...
I love Gwent, but I think the developers ran out of budget after first cutscene. Most of the cutscene are just a JPEG-style image with quest banners, and they read walls of text like that? It gives me Risk of Rain vibes with its map layout, but with fewer events, very little player choice, and Only 3 bosses (IDK it have secret boss or not). Overall, Thronebreaker and Gwent Multiplayer are still much more fun than...
