This review is 3 years late but it's still good to remind people how amazing this game is. I played it when it was first out in 2016 on Steam. It was too good I got all achievements there. Then a few months ago I bought it again on GOG and also got all achievements again here. Why waste all this money and time? Because The Witcher 3 is simply an amazing game that's worth it. Now I don't think the game is 100%. Far from it, it has many flaws: -The Main Storyline is weak, where sub story quests are more interesting or even side quests are more interesting than the Main Story. -The combat of the game isn't anything special. It's not bad but it's slightly good. -Lastly, this is something bad for me but could be very good for others, is that the game has way too many side quests for my taste. You've probably heard that the best thing about The Witcher 3 is the side quest as each one has its own story and they are very beautiful made and that is very true. Except that there are way too many for my own taste. It got to the point where it got tedious and exhausting to do them all that I felt maybe if the number of sidequests was tuned down a bit and focused more on the main would have been better. But like I said this is my personal preference. The Witcher 3 also features two amazing crafted DLCs that are worth more than their price and they include stories are better than the main game's story. And it that's not enough, it has a huge set of amazing characters. Alot of amazing Witcher Gear. A fun crafting system and a very cool and enjoyable card game called GWENT. If you haven't bought the game yet, you should. But please be aware that this is a very long game that it can take you up to a month to finish and even more. Thanks for reading.
I have never played Flashback back in the day, so this is my first time. I went with the everything classic (No rewind, no filters) except for sound. ===== The first thing you'd notice are the controls and how stiff they are. It took me at least 1 hour just to be able to get around well enough in the first area. But once I got the controls covered, the game became a lot of fun. The animations are so satisfying to look at for a very old game. And the levels of the game are different from one another, which helps make the game not feel repetitive. The overall gameplay is kind of like a puzzle. I played on Expert Difficulty (The highest) so I had to be careful when facing enemies by timing jumps, rolls and shots. ===== But despite all the goods, three problems stood out to me enough that I had to give it 3 stars. -Story: Well, the game does have one but it's so little that I honestly had no idea why I am doing what I am doing. Of course, for a very old game I can't expect a Hideo Kojima story game but still, felt lost with the purpose of what is going on. -Music: Lack of music to be more accurate. The game barely has any. 90% of the playthrough, there's no background music. A short background music (6s or so) appears from time to time when you hold your gun up, an enemy appears, or sometimes just randomly. This (with the lack of story) gave a huge dull feeling to the game. -Difficulty: Overall, the game is difficult but very manageable. That is what I'd expect from a classic. BUT, near the end, the game introduces a new type of enemy that is everywhere in the late stages of the game. That enemy is extremely annoying to fight and makes a lot of annoying noises and has a huge HP. It took me maybe 6 hours just to finish the last part of the game because of how many times I died. Facing that enemy wasn't fun at all. ===== Overall, a fun classic game with lovely animation and puzzle like gameplay but lacks music, story and gets too difficult at the end. Thank you
