![]() ![]() Plenty of good work for a witcher like Geralt, but work that once again brings him in close proximity to great powers and greater conflicts. Two powerful states are stuck in a grinding war of attrition for the Northern Kingdoms, while ghouls, ghosts, and other beasties have proliferated in the No Man's Land between the two armies. It's around this very specific character that the Witcher's world is built, and in the Wild Hunt, the world is more suited to a witcher than ever. And because witchers are ostensibly neutral in the grand scheme of things, both parties always look to Geralt to cast deciding votes, forcing him to make seemingly impossible choices that will inevitably result in someone being angered, hurt or killed. Whether it's a local dispute in a peasant village or an elaborate plot to murder a king, Geralt's job of tracking down and killing monsters frequently puts him at the centre of fractious social and political problems. ![]() Geralt differs from most of his brethren due to his tendency to become involved. It knows precisely what it's asking of you, and delivers satisfaction in virtually every quest, every line of dialogue, every tantalising question mark crammed into its enormous map. The Witcher 3 positively worships your time. If you read my reviews regularly, then you'll know I have little patience for games that don't respect the player's time. You see, The Witcher 3 is not just worth playing, it's worth playing to the very end, exploring each town, village, ruin, castle and cave you encounter along the way. Thumbs up, smiley face, five stars.Now cancel your plans for the next fortnight and get playing. But if you're just here for a simple recommendation, to hear whether or not CD Projekt's latest is worth your hard-earned Crowns, then let me say The Witcher 3 is a truly astonishing RPG that I recommend with all my heart, mind, body and soul. Best get it out of the way quick, so we can get on with discussing the why (there's a lot of why). There's no point dressing this fact up with a flowery introduction.
