Roguelike (ew) Gwent that is functionally not Gwent, thanks for making this instead of Bloodborne PC Sony

It is fun with beautiful artwork and great voice acting but overall, there is too much wrong with the game.

In order of relevance:

There are bugs. Example: you kill a card that had a status ("frozen") that respawn after being killed. The card loses the status (as shown in game). The game does not always realize that the card has lost said status, though. Sometimes it still affects card combos which can easily kill you (because you cannot see it coming).

There are cards with incorrect descriptions. "activate this card to kill the next card to the right and then duplicate this card". In reality, it is "activate this card to duplicate it, add it to the right of the card to the right and then kill the card to the right". (This could also just be a bug.) Which means that, if a row is full, the card does not duplicate (because there is no free space on the board) but it still kills the card to the right (after failing to duplicate) and it consumes the cards "order" (a one-time actions for this card).

There are LOTS of trivial fights in each run (it depends on your deck which ones those are but there are some for each deck) which take at least 10 minutes for each run of 50 minutes. More once you start figuring out the game.

You cannot skip or speed up animations that are purely for flavour. And there are a lot of those. A lot. And they repeat themselves. A lot. Like, a lot. Each run. Again, and again. And again.

You cannot slow down the animations and display of actions the AI does. There is a "log" but it only shows which card was played initially each turn by the AI and that is not enough info by a long shot. "Draw two cards and play a card" and such are the worst offenders which do not even tell you which card was actually played but it is true for other cards as well. This gets better once you know most of the interactions but learning the mechanics of the AI decks is much more of a hassle this way.

The game does are bad job of explaining basic mechanics. You are not told how many cards you will draw or that you can check both the (random) options to add a card and to remove a card after each battle without paying for it. Another example is cards referencing you "playing a special" (it is "casting a spell" - the words "special" and "spell" seem to be used by different developers and maybe they never checked or consistency).

Once you have clicked on a spell, you cannot abort the action, you have to cast it. All other card-actions can be aborted with right-click and there is no reason to force you casting a spell (there is no dice roll that happens immediately or anything like that).

There are also things to love about the game, though. The best aspect is the artwork. The cards are not just beautiful and consistent, they also correspond with the actual abilities of each card. You can easily see if something is supposed to be a vampire bat, and its abilities fit what you would expect a vampire bat to be able to do. You still need to learn the cards, but this makes it much easier and much more fun.
