Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales Review
January 11th, 2018 Those of you that played Witcher 3 may be familiar with Gwent, the absurdly popular Witcher 3 minigame that was made into its own stand-alone video game after approximately a million people asked for it. I’ve always thought that CD Projekt Red seemed a little miffed that people wanted a “simple” card game over their graphically intensive RPGs, so the announcement of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales didn’t surprise me that much. After all, what’s better than a free-to-play card game based on a minigame in a video game based on a book series?

Daredevil season 1 was an excellent Netflix series that only lost steam at the very end, with great characters and action scenes that held it all together from start to finish. The rest of the Marvel Netflix shows have ranged from good to terrible, but all have been missing… something. Finally, with this newest showing of Daredevil, we have our answer about what the other series have lacked. The key is “purpose,” a feeling like the show is actually going places and doesn’t spin its wheels for several episodes because there isn’t enough story to make up thirteen hours. Daredevil season 3 has exactly that: a purpose, a driving force, and a pace that rarely feels…
