The Witcher 3: 5 Best Moments

5. Gwent

Confession time; I am terrible at Gwent, truly awful, but oh how heads would have rolled if I had not mentioned it in a Witcher 3 post.

A card game so popular it spawned it's own spin-off game for those who did not quite get their fill from the Witcher 3 alone, Thronebreaker, Gwent follows in the footsteps of other RPG card-based mini-games such as Triple Triad.

It consumed hours, days, weeks of Witcher players time; so much so that some of the biggest critiques aimed at the series was the lack of Gwent.

The depth and strategy of the game lend itself to something that easily consumes this kind of time and garners this kind of acclaim. There is just so much to it that calling it a mini-game seems to do it a disservice, clearly CD Projekt felt the same.

Like so many elements of 'The Witcher 3' it is the time and effort seemingly put in to Gwent that make it such a stand-out piece of a game absolutely brimming with stand-out moments.
