Disclosure: review code for Thronebreaker was provided by CD Projekt Red. They also paid for travel and accommodation for a Thronebreaker preview event in Poland back in 2018. Also I had no idea they'd be releasing Thronebreaker on Switch on the day of this video's publishing!

The Witcher is arguably the most popular it's ever been, going from obscure PC-only RPG back in 2007 to one of the biggest franchises in entertainment right now—it's certifiably mainstream. And yet, its developer CD Projekt Red released Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales—what they described as a thirty-hour, narrative-heavy single player RPG set in The Witcher universe—during the height of series popularity (also Cyberpunk 2077 might be one of the most hotly anticipated titles of all time), and it still failed to meet sales expectations. Over a year after its release and with the Netflix series just released, I thought it might be fun to finally give Thronebreaker the chance it deserves and see if it lives up to the lofty claims of its developers. The results are... complicated.
