I've been a gamer all my life and was never really interested in RPG type games... I joined GOG in anticipation for Cyberpunk 2077 and bought the Witcher 3 on sale then later on I bought Witcher 1 and 2. I didn't bother giving any of the games a try until after finishing 2077... And hindsight tells me...why did I wait so long? I decided to try the first 2 games to get caught up on the story, I planned to play the first 15 minutes of the 1st two games to get an idea of the story. However, I ended up playing through both, being sucked in by the fun game-play and the story. After finishing Witcher 2, I discovered that I could import my saves into Witcher 3 and the choices I made would carry over into it, each game just got better and better! What more can I say about Witcher 3 that hasn't already been said? Glad I decided to jump into the shoes (boots? Armor?) of Geralt of Rivia. The story the DLC's (Blood and Wine is my Favorite). I can see now that is the true benefit of waiting so long to try this series I got the play the complete version of each game with all the DLC's and expansions attached. This has been an amazing introduction to the RPG genre for me. It is truly one of the best games I ever played, and still play. This review if for Witcher 3 but I have to mention Gwent: I was ensnared by the "game with in a game" Gwent card game while playing through Witcher 3, after finishing it I was amazed by the standalone Gwent game (a review for another time) The Books, the Games, the Shows, The Comics....I am completely captured by the Witcher world. I have played the 3 games, enjoying Gwent, playing through Thronebreaker, and plan to read the books, already bought some books in audio and readable versions. I admit this has kind of been a review of the entire franchise but hey... The Bar with this series has been set VERY high....Legendary Status!
1st off: This game goes all the way! Like ALL THE WAY! I love this game simply because of the Developers bravery to this far without censoring themselves with the content. There is even a line in the game by the shadow/smokey ghost thing that talks to you through the levels. It is an extreme adult game, and fulfills what the Title of the game implies. The Gameplay: It is simple, easy to learn and fun, you hack and slash through the levels. For those impatient gamers, the game is not that long although I managed to get 8 hrs + out of it by simply collecting most of the items and the comic books pages. Like I said at the beginning of the review, this game does not hold back, if you are squeamish or do not like adult content stay away from the unrated version. I have not even had a desire to play the censored version, so no comment on that. Since playing the demo this game is what I wanted from this company and can't wait for more titles from this developer. I never played agony, or any of their other titles, but I am surely interested now... This games adult content is what Cyberpunk 2077 should of had but stopped short of in regards to flesh showing and adult scenes....simple as that. I was disappointed in that game for that reason besides the unfinished product...I did enjoy 2077 for what it was, but that is another review... Verdict: I can't wait for part for a part 2 or more at least more levels and story related DLC content to release? This game does not hold back and I love it!!!
