  • RPG
  • Dark fantasy
  • Choices

Geralt is accused of killing King Foltest and sets out to clear his name. You fight with magic signs, traps and potions drunk while meditating before combat, and at the end of chapter 1 you pick a side: chapter 2 changes completely.

Why play it now

When you want a grown-up RPG for several evenings and fancy replaying it: the other side opens up a different chapter 2.

Who it's for

For anyone who played The Witcher 3 and wants the story that came before, with weighty political and personal decisions.

When not to pick it

If dying early on frustrates you: reviews find the first fights very harsh and the ending weak.

What it offers

  • Story: 90 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 70 out of 100
  • Exploring: 50 out of 100
  • Thinking: 45 out of 100
  • Managing: 30 out of 100
