I’m playing this game late, so my opinions reflect it’s current state.
The beginning of the game captured me immediately. Jackie is a fantastic character, I really thought he’d be with me the whole way, which made his death actually gut punching. Silverhand is also great thanks to its KR, I really liked his arc. The plot isn’t airtight, it’s a bit sloppy, but I enjoyed it for the most part. I felt the ending was weak, it could have done more.

The gameplay is hard hitting. I loved the dual sense here, it really shines. The level of creative freedom given to playstyle creation and customisation is phenomenal, definitely my favourite part. The game has an addictive loop.

Now the dialogue of many characters is just unbearable. V (male) is just…abysmal and many times I recoiled due to cringe. Coming from the witchers, very elegant and realistic dialogue is jarring.

The best bit of the entire game is the immersion, the role-playing aspect. It’s truly something beautiful. I found myself actually invested in these characters and where we’re going. I believe this was due to the level of detail and characters realistic movement, but I think it’s just the way the world is set up.

The game is really good, it’s held back from greatness. Bugs are still prevalent. I had some bugs that required me to turn the game off and boot back up multiple times, which is unacceptable.
