A compelling, involving gaming experience. A long journey with a sexy, masculine hero that despite the length of the game still ends too soon. Complex personal relationships make every decision an important one. If you want to know what this game is about, watch the opening cinematic on YouTube. This is perhaps the greatest opening cinematic of any RPG ever. You learn everything you need to know about Geralt in four minutes, the sword, the chemistry, the ruthlessness, the knowledge, the magic, the success, the set up. If you are new to RPGs or have never finished one you have purchased in the past, I encourage you to try this one. The game set up allows you to choose the difficulty and the tutorial battles are tame enough to let you learn the basics of the combat system, which are easy to grasp and master with practice. There are enough side quests to keep you busy while you sort out the main quest, and you will find that you have finished the game before you really want to say goodbye to Geralt. Like every other RPG, the indispensable advice is, "Save Early! Save Often!"
