The Witcher World is Back!

"A spectacularly crafted RPG" - 5/5 - GamesRadar+

"One of the best-written RPGs in years" - 9.4/10 - IGN

"Superb" - 9/10 - GameSpot

Thronebreaker is a single player role-playing game set in the world of The Witcher that combines narrative-driven exploration with unique puzzles and card battle mechanics.

Crafted by the developers responsible for some of the most iconic moments in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game spins a truly regal tale of Meve, a war-veteran and queen of two Northern Realms — Lyria and Rivia. Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge.

Never played Gwent in Witcher 3, don't really care for card games either. So when I say that this game is S-tier in terms of gameplay, story, and music, keep that in mind. It doesn't matter if you don't like card games

a great use of 'Gwent' to tell an interesting story set in the Witcher universe - I particularly enjoyed getting to explore parts of the world map that have not been shown in previous CDPR Witcher games. The art
