Hearthstone
Hearthstone is a 2014 free-to-play digital collectible card video game produced by Blizzard Entertainment. Originally subtitled Heroes of Warcraft, Hearthstone builds upon the existing lore of the Warcraft series by using the same elements, characters, and relics. The game is available on the Windows, macOS, iOS and Android platforms, featuring cross-platform play. It has been a critical and commercial success, with Blizzard reporting more than 100 million Hearthstone players as of November 2018, and the game has become popular as an esport, with cash prize tournaments hosted by Blizzard and other organizers.

Where Hearthstone sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Hearthstone lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 81ahead of 39% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 65ahead of 97% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Hearthstone
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
