Best Xbox One Games to Have on Your Radar in December 2018
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
The Witcher series may be known best for Geralt of Rivia embarking on epic-scale adventures across magical lands and having players slice through their opponents from a third-person perspective, but Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales changes that formula up a bit.
The gameplay can be broken down into two distinct segments. You’ll explore an overworld map, talking to NPCs, coming across events and managing your army to ensure it’s prepared for whatever may be lurking in the next mission. Then you’ve got the card-based section, which will see you using your deck of cards in order to solve puzzles or take on enemies in battle.
It’s essentially a blend of The Witcher 3’s Gwent card game, and the studio’s excellent talent for storytelling all in one, 30-hour epic adventure. This isn’t just Gwent ripped straight out of The Witcher 3, though, it’s been refined and improved upon to make for a more accessible experience, and one that can be approached from a multitude of different ways.
All you Witcher fans out there should already have this on your radar. For everyone else, this is certainly one of the more exciting digital card-based games that we’ve had the pleasure of playing, and it’ll feel right at home on Xbox One.
