My favorite way to describe this is that the Witcher 2 played like a hectic episode of Game of Thrones while Witcher 3 feels more like you’re watching The Lord of the Rings. The game follows a similar pace as the first game in that there’s a major conflict going on around you, but it doesn’t take precedence until much later into the game. Whereas Witcher 2 instantly threw you into a war with a slick political thriller plot, the Witcher 3 instead slowly introduces you to this world and lets you soak in it.

This is easily one of those games everyone’s going to be talking about for the rest of the year for a reason the game is just that good.Īnyone whose first experience with this series is the second game might find the opening of Witcher 3 a bit of a jarring experience with how casually it opens up.

I’ve always been impressed with what they’ve managed to accomplish with each game and the third game doesn’t disappoint. It’s been four years since the release of CD Projekt RED’s fantastic game The Witcher 2 and the conclusion to their series is finally here. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “c*nt” can be heard in the dialogue.MonsterVine was supplied with a PS4 copy of the game The game includes a side quest in which Geralt engages in a drinking game characters are depicted drunk and/or passed out. These brief sequences depict females' breasts and buttocks-sexual moaning sounds can be heard, though the camera cuts away from explicit sexual acts. During the course of the game, the central character can engage in sexual activity with prostitutes and female companions. Some cutscenes depict slow-motion decapitations and other gore: an autopsy of a torture victim, rooms with several corpses (e.g., hanging from the ceiling, covered in blood on a bed, naked in a tub). Large blood-splatter effects occur when enemies are slashed, with some attacks resulting in decapitation or dismemberment. Characters engage in melee-style combat using swords and other bladed weapons, as well as magical attacks (e.g., blasts of fire, stun spells) combat is highlighted by screams of pain and impact sounds. Players explore a war-ravaged world while completing quests and killing enemy soldiers and fantastical creatures (e.g., wraiths, harpies, rock beasts).

This is an open-world role-playing game in which players assume the role of Geralt, a monster hunter in search of a missing woman.
