This game truly gave me something in the end, something I had not expected. It gave me back what I've missed so dearly in games up to this point. It gave me a reason to care. While some have exclaimed that they never felt a true connection with Ciri throughout the game, I came out on the other side, feeling as though she was my own daughter, a young lass whom I truly cared for more than myself. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Watching her walk away into the abyss between world, and then having the flashbacks to the times we spent together was truly heartfelt. I'm not sure I've ever had a connection with a game like this before. When I found out she didn't die in the end, my heart lept from my chest and I broke down, crying but in that laughing relieved way, the way you feel when you come out on the otherside, alive when faced with certain death. A few things I should also comment on are related to the game mechanics. I've played the Witcher series before, and I feel this was by far the most polished of the series. Whether it be the engaging combat, easy to navigate inventory system, or the precisely made crafting system, all facets of the game work in tandem so as not to draw you away from the game itself. As for the performance of the game, I will mention that I had my fair share of in-game crashes, and other glitches which made the game unplayable until reloaded, but due to the sheer bastness of the game, I'll give CDPR a pass on that one. Overall this game gets a score of 5/5 stars from me. Truly great game, can't wait for the DLC coming down the pipe in October! I ran the game at around 60fps consistently with my rig.
