A cult-classic for good reason, V:TMB is an atmospheric gem of an RPG with immersive sim elements. There's a wonderful, early 2000s atmosphere pervading the entire game, in part attributable to the loveable feel that comes with the Source engine. All RPG elements are executed very well, which is to be expected from Troika: quests are well-written, appropriately branching with many choices, characters are spectacular, classes actually feel totally distinct. The backdrop of the game with all the warring factions make for a wonderful setting. The game's jank isn't pervasive enough to be a detriment, in fact I find it mostly adds to the game's charm, namely: some VA and cutscene animations being subpar.
Disclaimer: I sadly don't own this game on GOG, but I will definitely buy it on here soon since GOG is the best. Witcher 3 is my all-time favorite game and the best RPG I've ever played. Beautiful graphics, an amazing soundtrack, the best single-player story I have ever experienced. CD Projekt Red hit it out of the ballpark (as always), they are my favorite developer and, in my honest opinion, the best developer in the industry. The rating is a 4.9/5, just get the game.
