It might be my last review for a while. Not sure what's going on with me lately—nothing really makes me happy. Everything feels distorted, colorless, bland... like I’m missing something or someone👀? (and no, I don’t have jaundice 😑).
I genuinely enjoyed reviewing stuff over the past few days. Not sure if I was just sharing thoughts on games… or quietly trying to say something else🦋. But with my creatively unorthodox communication style, I’m pretty sure I could’ve made a solid secret agent. Lmao. Though honestly? Not sure how successful I was. I might’ve been too subtle. Not everyone puts points into their Perception stat like I did (yeah, BG3 reference— couldn't resist).
Normally, my Steam feels like a ghost town , except today, it was brightened by a divine presence 💙🦋. I should feel happy. Still... everything feels off. I might write some journal entries on Threads later, though that too feels a bit pointless. Nothing ever really happens in my life.
But you know what’s not disappointing? Heck yeah—it’s Thronebreaker, baby. 😍
CDPR is like that grandma whose handbag is always full of unexpected gifts and candy. And Thronebreaker is one of those gifts—the kind you put somewhere safe and just admire how beautiful it is.
A handcrafted world, a gripping story, and a god-tier soundtrack that wraps around your soul—this game pulls you in if you let it. But what really stood out for me? Queen Meveeeeeeeeeeeee.
Never thought playing as a queen-mother would be this much fun. That’s how you craft a strong female lead. She’s beautiful, badass, kind, intelligent, and commands respect like it’s second nature. (Very close to my crush, lol. Of course I had to sneak her in here too 💙🦋)
Wandering through the war-torn yet picturesque lands of Lyria from Meve’s eyes—meeting bandits, peasants, merchants, monsters, the Sisters of Melitele, dwarves, even dragons while making tough choices that balance kindness, pragmatism, and consequence... it’s more than fun. It’s meaningful. It lowkey taught me some life lessons I probably needed.
Now, I’ve never been a card game fan. Never touched Pokémon or Hearthstone or whatever else nerds play. But Gwent? Thanks to The Witcher, I’m hooked. And here, that card-based battle system fits so naturally into the gameplay. It gives you a moment to think—you can't just unga-bunga slash your way out.
The voice acting? Top-notch. The storytelling? Criminally underrated.
I’ll admit—I originally sailed the high seas with FitGirl to play this game. But I loved it so much I had to buy it legit on Steam, just to keep it as a trophy. A reminder of how beautiful gaming can be and how it can still make you smile, even on days when nothing else does.
Absolutely recommended.
