Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In The Witcher 3, the good players were the ones looking for cards in the vast open world, while Gwent is generous with the drops and is easier to form a good deck.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Apart from that, great game with good multiplayer, with no pay to win mechanics.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The UI/UX overhaul was fantastic and the new visuals were beautiful, but the Homecoming update also removed or gutted a ton of archetypes that had existed in the beta.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But I will have to say, the skill ceiling is much higher than you expect.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also the sound effects they designed in combination with music are also done incredibly well and help a great deal immersing you in the fantasy of the current faction you are playing and making you feel like you are actually moving soldiers around on the battlefield or crushing your enemies with the attack of a giant monster. (which really isn't a small feat for a card game I would say).
