Throw a grouchy aging Slavic man into a new country, a blend of France, Spain and Disneyland and watch him grimace his way through a delightfully fun, humorous and violent adventure. The Witcher III's best bits, the exploration, the detective-work, and the monster killing, are all honed to their best here.

The main game's grim dark fantasy is replaced by palace intrigue, vineyard industry politics, and vampires. It’s so wildly out of left field for a game like The Witcher III that it’s all the more breathtaking how killer the execution is.
