Hearthstone

Pros: Good looks, that is pretty much what is left from HS. The art and the interface. The rest, the designer team has worked hard to destroy.

Cons: Random, rigged, amazingly bad and predatory practices, and horrible expansions. Plus, there is currently a bot problem. Current devs do not know what they are doing, the game is at its worst state at the moment, with 0 modes being actually fun, playable or even relaxing to play. Seriously, takes effort to be that bad at game design. Blizzard would be better off refreshing them. Although its an old game and sometimes no even a miracle can save it. Perhaps it will die soon for the sake of all of us.

Every thing (patch, new expac, balance, new modes) the design team does fails miserably. They cant balance the game, understand the consequences of their decisions and make the game friendly and fun to play. They have currently deprived us of the fundamental of the game: the ability to play it. You are even frustrated when you win. Amazingly unbalanced crap.

I hope the merge with Microsoft either kills the game or that they refresh these useless and horrible game designers, who, if they had any shame, they would have left already.

Overall: Bad game, predatory, bad game experience, horrible game developers and even more horrible balance team. The current design team needs to go. They do not have shame and they do not respect their audience. None of the modes is playable or fun anymore.

Pros: No pros absolutely until they not ban all players who using bugs to have 8 attack minions in second movie.

Cons: Absolutely people using bugs, you reporting players and they does nothing.

Overall: Players using bugs, that idiots does nothing. Impossible to play, reporting players not working absolutely.

Pros: Nothing. Nothing enjoyable about the game since recent changes adding even more RNG to every single game.

Cons: For a game that is supposed to have a competitive game mode and where rank matters to many people this game is disgusting. It wasn’t already frustrating enough to play a game dependent on RNG but then in their expansion they decided it would be a good idea to add even more random, uncontrollable, and boring RNG effects to every game making it feel more like some kids tavern brawl even than an actual competitor ranked game mode. Pitiful.

Overall: Trash. Not enjoyable, not fun to play, frustrating to even load as ever single aspect of the game is RNG or trying to sell you some crappy product.

Pros: Good looking, has nice mechanics (sometimes), and a nice community around the game, especially on Twitch. But the community is almost dead cause no one wants to watch the game anymore and creators are struggling. HS content creators are very few these days.

Cons: Amazingly overpriced at the moment, if you want to reach high ranks and actually play the game. There are 9 classes and we still get the same amount of packs per pre-order, with the same amount of cards in there, and they are also more expensive.

The game itself is just bad. Random and rng to the roof, your decision do not matter anymore (or has very limited effect) in all modes, the community is not being listened to, there is no competitive HS to market the game and boost the community, and the developers, omg the devs... The worst devs I have ever seen in a game. They do not play test, they do not know what they are doing, the balance patches are one worse after the other and they create the worst experience I have ever had in a video game so far in my life, and I have played tons of games, including TCGs.

Overall: Used to be a good game with a great community, but now it's like Yugioh, only the loyal play it. The devs are to blame 100% and I wish Bliz replaces them ASAP.

Overall, bad game, do not play. Period.

Pros: Card game: Fun mechanics when you get to use them.

Auto Battler: Well built with the most diverse build mechanics of any auto battler I've seen.

Cons: Card game: You are 8 years too late to the party and the financial investment into being competitive and enjoying the card game is far too high.

This is not a f2p game.

Auto Battler: Full hero selection locked behind recurring paywall.

Overall: A card game with lots of charm and potential if you are willing to sink the money into it.

For the average and casual gamer, there are better options out there.

Pros: It's the best living card game for playing online. It's updated regularly with new and fun cards. I like it, I think it's fun for a free game.

Cons: It is a bit simplistic and repetitive card types. But that also makes the game balanced.

Overall: Good could have more humor and fluff and nicer graphics by now. But the gameplay is fun but a little bit too repetitive sometimes, the card set archetypes are usually one that is much better than the rest. But for a week after an update, everything is fun and dandy! I don't pay for cards and I still like it.

Pros: The game is good and I have played it for ages but the performance, on the other hand, has degraded drastically to a point that it's infuriating to play!

Cons: Let me begin by saying Hearthstone performs as well as a legacy UNIX application. How difficult can it be to ensure a stable connection when playing the game? do they have a 1 Gbps backbone link? Who manages their infrastructure? isn't this game a simple card game?

I have had 8 disconnections playing mercenaries today and it is the same every time I play this god-awful game. Do they not have an SLA for this crap piece of software?

From all the games I have played through the year's hearthstone at its current state is the worst game I have played so far due to its technical shortcomings. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME!!!

Overall: Everything about this game needs to be overhauled. I have played this game since its inception but now I hate myself for putting so much time and money into this game. It's truly sad!

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME!!!

Pros: The game has a lot of modes to explore.
It requires some thinking and planning.
Gets updated frequently.

Cons: Performance is horrendous. It loads slowly regardless of specs which shouldn't be the case. The game is not worth in its current state with how slow everything loads. It also has a lot of microtransactions.

Overall: Hearthstone is related to World of Warcraft universe and provides a good card game. I played for years on and off, but it always loaded slowly.

You have to disable vsync to have some hours of smooth gameplay. It's been years and the game just adds content and makes it slower...

Pros: A lot of game modes. Both single player & multiplayer. Battlegrounds is so much fun. I don't play arena much but drafting is nice too.

Cons: To keep on being competitive, you have to play a few games each day (to do the daily quest).

Overall: So much value (and many game modes) without spending a single dime, I cannot believe it's free. Definitely not pay-to-win.

Pros: there is none, animations looks good but like 5 of them only.... it's mainly Unity trash...good luck if you're playing this.

Cons: This is THE WORST game ever i suggest to everyone not to play this ****, check out brain new TFT, a game that Riot (League of Legends) made, it has a lot more sense and it actually lets u enjoy a game for even a bit. A friendly advice and I'm gonna repeat it again DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME

Overall: i spent a lot of money a lot of time for this trash game and so far i didn't enjoy a single hour playing it, pay to win trash with really bad logic.honestly dodge this by long range trust me.

Pros: I like the idea of the game but its rigged to people who pay them the most win. If you pay enough money and if you pay often enough the game is kind of fair. other than you will always beat people who don't pay enough. Doesn't matter what cards you have.

Cons: Its definitely rigged to let people who pay enough feel like their having fun by winning but its really just that blizzards algorithm allows you to win. otherwise they let you win randomly every couple of games because it finally matches you up against someone in you own bracket of not paying them enough money. Its really only the illusion of having fun. I just wish it was fair for everyone but after playing for years I can say with absolute certainty that this is not a game it is a way for blizzard to extract money from people who don't understand math enough to tell that this garbage is not fair.

Overall: This is not a game. It is a way for blizzard to extract money from people who don't understand math enough to tell that this garbage is not fair. Yes it is seen as a child's card game but it only stands to make anyone that plays this believe they are smarter for paying more money when its actually making people more stupid than if they never encountered this garbage. Never install this trash and if you have, uninstall it like I have.

Pros: Nice graphic design. Many game modes. Variety of add-ons and accompanying elements. Backward compatibility with legacy cards.

Cons: Worst gameplay and weak mechanics. The most unbalanced and casual game with elements of randomness. You can win even if you play better than your opponent. Hidden pool.

Overall: I played this game from 2015 to 2017, after which I took a break and returned to 2020. In my opinion, the game has become less balanced.

Pros: It’s pretty and shiny but that’s about it. It’s not even fun. I high do not recommend this money racket game. The Moon Priestess’ sayings were awesome I must admit, but that was about it.

Cons: I JUST started, even paid for a few packs with actual money. Beat all the practice champs and my very FIRST seven games, as a new player, against “players of my skill level,” and was murdered! I barely moved any before they destroyed every champion I played as. As a first time player who the hell made these “skill level” player choices? These players had all the high dollar cards and champs you had to buy to play as with legendary cards and everything! Horrible money racket and it wasn’t even fun/enjoyable!

Overall: Do not waste you time or money. Trust me. I absolutely will write horrible ratings to this horrible math making game for as many blogs and review boards as I can.
