A good first entry to a beautiful franchise, it's story, dialogue, and atmosphere are top notch, the game has a comedic undertone that makes it not so depressing, a lot of choices have consequences and will lead to bloodshed, making you really think about what you pick, sure the combat is a bit boring and too easy, and sure there is a lot of backtracking here, but even with that, the game clocks in at around 40 hours if you do everything, and it doesn't feel dragged out. I highly recommend playing this game as it is a great way to enter the witcher universe; don't skip it! Also, the soundtrack is great! 7.5/10
