This is a great game and is in my top 3 list of games. Great stroytelling; gameplay is fun. With 2.2 most bugs seem to be fixed - there are some minor issues but nothing serious.
Looking for a buzzword...quintruple A? Maybe quadruple and a half or so.
Why doi buy games on gog ,one single reason I HATE LAUNCHERS ! PURE HATRED ABSOLUTE ! Now i have to deal WITH ANOTHER LAUNCHER UNDER ANOTHER LAUNCHER !
You are all LUNATICS!
This is absolute gem of a video game. That's cant be overstated. Forget the launch, like No Mans Sky, the launch is in the past and in no way reflects this game as it is today.
The world created here is ..its kind of breathtaking the amount of small details on display here. The story and voice acting is phenomenal , the mechanics are great, the gunplay and the different ways to approach combat is also fantastic.
Character leveling system takes a bit of time and its kind of a slow burn of sorts but when you get going ; you definitely feel it as you unlock new abilities and grow. Just so much imagination and care has gone into creating this world to get lost in; Its hard not to get lost in it. That my friend makes a peak video game. Immersion, fun gameplay, superb mechanics, great story telling, great voice actors its escapism at its best and that's the kind of thing we desperately need more of in video games.
Which brings me to my next point:
Its kind of sad in a way; this is probably the last great game from CDPR for a while unless theirs a culture shift within the dev studio away from the ESG fueled stuff they have embraced. I hope for the best with CDPR but usually these ESG types for whatever reason don't like the very customers they rely on to sell products, make money and stay in business. Primary concern for these folks is always pushing some weird ideology , its the strangest thing in the world for a company as you would think they would prefer NOT to alienate over half of their potential profit (customers) but welcome to the end of the year 2024 where ideology is more important than products, customers, profit and even the company...at least, that's how it looks.
So lets raise a glass choom and choombas to what was and the hope we find our way back here eventually. Until then, Witcher 3 and CP2077 stands as a testament to how great the studio can be and how we all should remember it.
