Dinsun Review
Look, I like Reigns and I like The Witcher. Putting them together is a smart move. The writing here actually captures the dry, cynical tone of Geralt quite well, and seeing familiar faces pop up in the card stack is rewarding for fans. It's the best narrative experience in this list, but that’s not saying much given the competition. It actually forces you to think about the consequences of your 'swipes' rather than just clicking through.
However, it's not perfect. The lack of haptic feedback (vibration) on card draws is a bizarre step backward from previous entries. It makes the game feel 'thin.' Also, for a premium partnership, I encountered more bugs than I’d like—stuck cards and occasional crashes. It’s a good game, maybe even a great one once it's patched, but right now it feels like they rushed it out to hit a release window.
