Good potential but shockingly full of bugs, even in the first chapter. This gets progressively worse as the game goes on (serious bugs for RPG, like NPC treating you like you killed someone you didn't kinda stuff). This trend continued to the ending, where an things broke completely (such as stuck on a boat in dialogue with no choices, and since you cant exit, or even access the menu, its an alt F4 situation). Other examples were trying to end the game after having romanced female 1 (full dialogue, including the private boat room scene) but the ending tells you that you killed Female 1 and romanced Male 2. Great story-driven RPG ruined by story stopping/breaking bugs. Devs ackowledged many of these game stopping issues as late as 3-4 weeks after release, but after 100s of hours invested leading up to these points, the player could only start a new playthrough without 'those' bugs (it seriously questions the level of testing, if at all, that went into late chapter 1 and beyone stuff). This is copied from a steam review by VentusVero. I recommend this game if and only if the Dev team cleans up the considerable number of quest bugs, which are far more damaging for an RPG-story game like this than your average game. If you find recent reviews that suggest the game is bug free, by all means, have at it
I'm a huge Homeworld fan (Pride of Higara figurine, check). I have played this as well, and purchased it here on GoG in an attempt to move away from my Steam account. Install here is bad bad bad. I have the Homeworld Cataclysm CDs right here and install/play just fine. I purchased here (as with many products that you just want digital copies of) and crash after the splash screens. Support cares not that the game runs from the disk installs and recommends a bunch of busy work (classic canned stuff. "update graphics drivers", reinstall the game, download old directx versions, etc. AMAZING GAME, but beware of GoG galaxy install of this masterpiece.
I was a big fan of Witcher and Witcher 2. I was also a big fan of CDPRed really fighting for their independence with publishers in Witcher 2. I am a PC gamer (for perspective). I had high expectations for Witcher 3 and CDPRed exceeded them in every way possible and some ways i thought impossible (i promptly bought all 7 books, having to get one physically printed at lulu myself). Graphics are top notch and beautiful. All the cruelty of the world captured in great details Weather system top notch. Soundtrack. The single best score ive ever seen executed in a game (3rd installment no less). Gamplay, controls, and options (customization of controls) absolutely fantastic. Story. Couldnt have been done better and with choices that actually mattered. Free DLC! And the paid DLC would have been called Witcher 4 and cost $59 from another dev. I own all the Witcher games on my steam account, but since CDPRed doesnt have a "Donate button" because I feel I should give/pay more money for something done so right, im purchasing it again here on GoG. Keep on showing other Devs EXACTLY how it is done CDPRed and that is why you have my loyalties and my wallet.
