I’ve got about 20 hours in. So far I’m loving it. I’ll get into more detail if we have back and forths in the comments.

    I got it as a gift over the long weekend and I completed a blind run, about ~40 hours, ~5 or so days left on the in-game timer. I thoroughly enjoyed the game… so much that I immediately started a second run to explore other options. The choices are a bit more than just a secondary dialogue and different coat of paint, depending on how and when you do certain things.

    All in all, as an original story with solid mechanics, it’s one of the better games I’ve played in a long while.

    Its definitely solid. Has a lot of witcher 3 DNA. The systems themselves aren’t groundbreaking but its a good package for it all. I think if they have a fairly fast turnaround reusing assets and keep the memento rolling it could be a great series. And if this is to its final game what witcher 1 was to 3 that will be the greatest game of all time

    Seconding everyone who said its one of their favorite games of the past year. I’m about 30 hours in and it’s only been getting better. It’s incredibly well written and performed, and the combat and general mechanics are some of my favorites in video games. If you played Blood and Wine in the witcher 3, you basically get to have all of the cool vampire powers you saw in that. Quickly entered my top 5 favorite games honestly.

      Yeah I fully agree. Witcher 3 is in my top 10 for sure and this feels like an excellent extention of that. The writing and combat is on par if not better in some places.

    Haven’t played, but the more I hear the more I want to. Kind of broke for the next few months, plus these next few months are stacked with the most amount of games I actually want to buy in years… so this one may be left till a discount and then buy late in the year or early next year.

    For reference I have only purchased like 1 game in the past few years and that was Clair Obscure day one of its release. So having like 5 or so games that I really want to buy in the next 3ish months is crazy. And yes i still play a bunch of games, just been ones a friend will let me borrow or the free games on PS+ which has been more than enough to keep me occupied.
