I originally heard about The Witcher shortly after it had came out a few years back (07? 08?). I promptly downloaded it and....wasn't impressed. I played the first twenty or thirty minutes of the game and then deleted it a few weeks later after never giving it a try. Fast forward to a few months ago when I came across a sell of the game on Steam. I figured for the money why not give it an honest try for once. It's one of the best gaming decisions I have made in a long time! The story is nothing short of amazing. The way the smallest choices affect things in a big and unexpected way later on is...amazing. Extremely unique in the world of gaming where you usually have 2-3 very distinct paths that you can mindlessly follow (You know the ones I am talking about. Where every choice has 2-3 options. One clearly being good, one clearly being bad, one clearly being indifferent.). The Witcher doesn't have that. The choices don't paint a clear path to the future and that makes the game and story very interesting. It's 10 bucks. You spend almost that much on one meal. Give the game an honest shot and I can promise you that it'll be placed in one of the top spots in your "best games of all-time" list.
