Witcher series of action RPG were always masterfully crafted and well-designed. Both "The WItcher" and "The Witcher 2: Killers of Kings" had interesting gameplay, rich world, entertaining dialogues and exquisite battlestyle, where you should adapt your fighting techniques to your opponents in order to win... Viroledan butterfly style melts multiple low-health targets while heavy hits are great for dealing with single meatwalls, etc. Don't forget about crafting and alchemy, allowing you to make extremely good weapons, armor and potions, far supreme to shop stuff. Add a ton of humor, a decent amount of sexual scenes, incredible music and multiple endings - what else would you need from a game?

And now it becomes open world, scaling up tremendously, adding far more complexity and features. Events are not scripted, huge chunks of quests can become inavailable if you rush certain actions, many secondary quests merge with storyline and transform it according to the choices you made, drasticallly changing the final outcome. It was out on Xbox One and PS4 for a couple of weeks now and now it gets the worldwide PC release (some countries saw releases earlier, lucky them). Multiple let'splays are on Youtube already, both with commentary and without.

Did anybody grab this masterpiece already? What's your opinion? Do you have any feedback or hints? I really hope you try this game and enjoy it
 


Witcher 3 is GOOD, did you try Shadow of Mordor? The gameplay is awesome.

"Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person open world video game, where the player controls a Ranger by the name of Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his family, including his wife, are killed. Though Talion is mortally felled in the game's introduction, the wraith of the Elven Lord Celebrimbor is able to use his power to keep Talion alive, along with gifting him wraith-like abilities to exact his revenge.

The thing is, 8 hours into the SoM game you master the techniques and become a killing machine. Open world is actually not so open, crafting is very basic - you just add runes to your weapons, storyline is linear, with the only fun part being the dwarf quests. I enjoyed riding the big beast, Graug, that eats trolls for breakfast - and killing it afterwards. The rest of the game was like - slay orcs, progress a bit, capture another zone, promote your chieftain, kill the first boss, learn to use your force to beget followers, build an army, defeat the second boss. I finished it in about 15 hours and do now want to play again.

I am currently around 7 hours into The Witcher and have it only 15% completed, not to mention several choices I woud like to change the next time I play it - because this game has quite a lot of endings which depend on your choices.
