![]() ![]() While roaming the world of The Witcher 3, there was always something going on at every corner and every turn. But it does the RPG thing so incredibly well. Yes, you kill monsters, loot valuables and materials, craft weapons and armor, you level Geralt up, pour points into a skill tree, and he becomes even more ridiculously badass. That’s what’s so fantastic about The Witcher 3. It makes for a very compelling experience, really, as the game puts you right into the shoes of a witcher each time you encounter a wandering monster. The key to winning fights is knowing when to cast Signs and when to parry. Igni has him throw fire at his enemies, while Quen casts an explosive, protective shield over his body. Sustaining injuries during combat is dangerous as even with the help of a handy Swallow Potion, your health regenerates very slowly, and it can be easy to get overwhelmed by your foes.Īs a witcher, Geralt also has various Signs at his disposal which allow him to cast several types of magic to give him an edge in battle. The combat in The Witcher 3 feels polished and refined even on normal or easy difficulty, players have to think tactically and consider their enemies’ positions before deciding whether to strike or parry. Still, it’s a good change of pace after hours upon hours of playing as the slower, though tankier, witcher of Rivia. ![]() The tradeoff is that she’s a lot weaker, and she can’t use any of the fancy Signs that Geralt has. Unlike Geralt, Ciri’s a lot faster on her feet and she can reach her foes much quicker than he can. Playing as Ciri also allows you to fight enemies a little differently. You can even choose her sexual preferences – always a nice choice to have. Both options felt natural to Ciri’s character, and it’s up to the player how they want Ciri to be portrayed in the story. She could be open and friendly to the people she met, or she could be a little more reclusive. Getting to see specific events play out through the eyes of Ciri, who also bears a slight resemblance to Cara Delevingne ( Bad Blood, anyone?), and having a hand in choosing some of her dialogue options helped to further shape her as a strong character on her own. Thankfully, though, Ciri has more than enough character to stand on her own, and getting to take control of her during certain chapters was truly a joy. Oh, and the evil titular Wild Hunt is pursuing her. She’s the heir to the Nilfgaardian throne, she’s Geralt’s adopted daughter by way of the Law of Surprise, and she also happens to have extremely powerful magic that allows her to do some really crazy shit. Immediately, Ciri feels like a walking, talking plot device. In Wild Hunt, Geralt and his lost love Yennefer of Vengerberg (badass name) are tasked by Emhyr, the emperor of Nilfgaard, to find his adopted daughter Ciri. You play as Geralt of Rivia, the sexy white-haired beast of a man on the game’s cover, and he’s a witcher. Genies, threesomes, spoony bards, and sex atop a stuffed unicorn – what’s not to love about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? Playing the game to completion and seeing Geralt’s story through to the end has left me somewhat dazed, and writing this review feels more daunting than anything.
