The witcher 3 wild hunt review
Here's why, whether you're a fantasy fan or not, it's still a stone cold classic of RPGs. So, attention grabbed, nipples acknowledged, we've spent dozens of hours delving into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's world, exploring its decision-based storyline, side missions and sprawling landscapes. With millions of Game of Thrones fans the world over, there are inevitable comparisons - c'mon, even Charles Dance, voice of Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, voices Emperor Emhyr var Emreis here - despite Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories preceding those of George RR Martin.īut whether you're an existing fan, a newcomer, or someone who's looking to replay the game on Nintendo Switch (that's why we're updating this review), the swordplay, magic, monsters and fire gods certainly make for damn good entertainment. Y'know, one where mages and magic are a normality. Yet - and despite that reading like an apparent Hollywood "sex, blood, swearing, - buy, buy, buy!" kind of campaign - it's not gratuitous, rather more representative of a believable world. Yep, Witcher 3's adult themes are quickly established from the moment the camera lingers on a bare derrière mere minutes into the game.
Oh, and let's not forget the smattering of nudity.
There's a lot more f-ing and blinding for starters, the occasional c-bomb included. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a prime example a captivating game that, for our money, is the best RPG since Skyrim.īut, if anything, it's a little bit more grown-up than that 2011 Bethesda epic. (Pocket-lint) - For role-playing game fans it's only once in a blue moon a title comes along that's so engrossing you'll willingly surrender not just a little bit of time to play it, but days and weeks of your life.
