Why the Witcher is a Terrible Action game, but actually a Great Narrative Game.
It's true!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the latest video game adaption by CD Projekt Red of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels.
Geralt is a Witcher, a monster hunter for hire. He has undergone mutagenic experiments that have given him special powers. While hunting terrifying beasts, Geralt discovers that the real monsters are not the creatures he kills, but the humans he encounters.
The game shines when it tells a story and gives players choices in the narrative, and when it does, it makes an immersive fantasy that surpasses its competitors, Elder Scrolls and Fable. Every choice in the game has an impact. Players feel guilt, disgust, joy, and fear because each choice can result in the death of a beloved character, the opportunity to help a new friend, deciding who Geralt will have sex with, or discovering an alternative path to explore.
This formula has been widely successful selling around 50 million copies, two DLCs, a Netflix series starring Henry Cavill, and boosting the sales of the original books.
I love this game, but the journey the journey to the end was not an easy one…at first,
I bought this game at launch and quickly dropped it because of how clunky the combat felt…
