To start with, this is my first game of this genre, so I was sceptical. However, just after first few hours I begin to like this game a lot. It has massive amount of content, challanging boss fights, great soundtrack, replayability and preety cool charm system, which lets you make your own build. The story in written simillar to Dark Souls, which means you dont know much at the start and you gain knowledge as you explore the world. Story is very well written, engaging and you fell the need to know it. Theres also one more thing similar to Dark Souls- you collect geo (souls equivalent) from killing monsters. When you die, you leave a shell which needs to be killed in order to regain the geo, because you drop it all when you die. Geo lets you buy things from vendors and upgrade your sword. I achieved 104% completion in under 50 hours and still have DLC content to explore. I can recomend this game to everyone. If you didnt play any game of this genre and you like Dark Souls, theres a high chance you might like Hollow Knight. Looking forward to Silksong!
Took me little more about 120 hours to beat the game + DLCs. Im out of words to describe how good this game is. Main story keeps you engaged through all game, great written side quests, awesome witcher contracts, unforgettable characters. Also, the music that made me chill, relax and just listen while looking at the landscapes. This is the game that will make you comeback to replay it again. A special mention about the DLCs, they are insanely well- written. This game made me laugh many times, this game made me angry when I messed up at the quests. However, this is the first game that made me cry, and this is the experience I will never forget. If you havent played already, just buy it, this game is worth every single penny. Speaking as a Witcher franchise fan (i have read the books few years ago), the Witcher games are a great conclusion to Geralt's story, and Im very glad it ended the way it did. However, I hope this universum will expand with many different games (or maybe even books, who knows). Thank you CDPR for making this game, it was a pleasure. #teamYennefer BTW
