game looks blurry as hell on 1080p
after each episode there is long movie that you have to watch if you wanna keep up with the stories, and you better be connected to a good internet, because the video is streamed and will look even blurrier than the game itself if you have a low bandwidth.
what even is the point of putting movies in video games? not a fan at all.
The worst Sam Lake game i've played.

Allen please add details

This is one of the greatest games of all time,
i highly suggest you play on the death march difficulty as it will enhance the gameplay, if you do then you are going to need to read bestiaries and drink decoctions and potions and apply blade oils before every fight! which gives you a totally immersive experience of a witcher, i cant really complain about this game as it holds up pretty great after all these years and did get a next gen update with upscaling support and rt, the gameplay was also tweaked a bit and feels pretty good.
overall the game is a 9/10 i highly suggest you play it

Hasn't aged well,
graphics are still bad even in the remastered version, combat is clunky and it ruins pvp, you can get backstabbed from your side, hard to get out of animations, sometimes the game feels like a walking simulator cuz you cant warp right of the bat and even after you get the ability to warp, you cant warp to every bonfire which makes no sense, the achievements in the souls series are supposed to be engaging not just brainless farming, and sadly in this game you have to farm (not explore new places)... and you have to farm a lot FOR HOURS to get all the achievements which just gives me lazy vibes from the devs, there isnt a lot of options for armor/weapon because there is only a limited amount of weapons in this game which is a BIG no no for an rpg game.

sum: overall my least fav souls game ever. i think they learned a lot after releasing this game because most of these issues only exist in this one. 5/10

Elon Musk told us AI is Dangerous, we didn't believe him.

This game is by far one of the worst detective games ever, the plots are so childish and predictable.
do not waste your time playing it i refunded it (also it took me 23 minutes to solve a case).

i drank alcohol while playing this game to make it extra immersive. 16.6/10

ass man

meh, i dont even know if it looks better, i guess it does right? i downloaded twice the game size.

I played this game for the story, apart from that it doesn't really offer much:
1. Combat 5/10
the combat is not smooth, its clunky and sometimes there is a delay when you press the attack bind
2. AI 2/10
Enemies are so dumb they get stuck in rocks and walls, sometimes the NPCs which you have to follow to go through the story get glitched and stuck, then they have to go back to the beginning of their path and restart the whole path (wtf), sometimes NPCs block doorways which is very frustrating and its hard to push them aside.
3. Graphics 7/10
This was a 10 at its own time but I'm reviewing the game in 2024, either way not bad at all its above average.
4. Story 10/10
The story was mostly copied from the books so not much credit to CDPR here.
5. Level Design 2/10
You are going to feel like you're playing a walking simulator at times, you cant walk on small obstacles you have to go around them, there is no jumping just climbing pre-programmed cliffs, and no transportation like a horse or fast travel, also A WITCHER THAT CANT SWIM? i mean i had to walk around a river to take the bridge instead of swimming.
anyways,
if you are interested in The Witcher franchise you'll have to play this game to get the full experience, its not all that bad as its not that long.
overall 5/10 gets a pass from me.
