This is not a game, this is an experience in which you, as a human being, need to make decisions, and this decisions are going to have consequences. You are one entity with Geralt of Rivia, his actions are dictated by your own, and you are entirely responsable if something goes wrong. The people that inhabit the world are much more than any npc in a game that i've seen so far, they are alive, all of them want something, they feel pain and sorrow, and are overjoyed when you give them something that they craved for. Without noticing you start to love every single one of the interactions that you face down the road, to explore with your feet, to drink and brawl at each one of the taverns and play dice with familiar faces, as well as hear stories of the locals and read every book around about the lands below you. You unravel the story and the mysteries that populate the land, as well as you practice a dance of death with your swords against the people that did you and your loved ones harm. In my opinion, i think I can say with confidence that this game is one of the best experiences that I had in gaming in my entire life. I still have to play the sequels, and believe me, I am looking forward to it.
First of all I have to mention the subtitles, which are a blessing in the gameplay, but horrifyingly bad in the cutscenes, not only that, but they are also out of sync. The story begins in a slow manner, but slowly calling your attention to the problems that emerge in its history, with interesting characters with very characteristic personalities. This is not a game in which you need a guide as in other games of the same genre, but I had to consult it a couple of times in some parts of the game. The puzzles are logical, they are not there to slow down the game, and if you don't know what to do, you can just skip them. The game has a decent length, could not tell you an exact number because I lost track of time, yes, that good of a experience it was, is an excellent game, at least worth a try. Is a point-and-click done right, and I love it for that.
