I'm not overly prone to euphusive reviews, but I think this is a rare exception. I'm currently 160 hours into the main game (only a tiny bit of one DLC done), and I'm loving every minute of it. Which surprises the hell out of me because I spent the first 10-15 hours thinking why the hell did I buy this game. I got sucked into the world, the changing weather, the different enviroments, the people here there and everywhere, and the little random moments that makes the world feel a little alive. The story I find ... so so. Particularly having not played W1 or W2 first. Its okay at best, like most other CRPG's. The game for me is easy, like really easy. I'm on difficulty level 3, currently level 26 and just started act 2. I've 38 unused skill points and no overwhelming desire to spend them. But ... but I'm left wanting to explore further, to see all that there is to see. Novigrad feels like a bustling city. the world feels alive and I really like that.
