Absolutely hilarious. It also seemed like a homage to the late but great Frank Sidebottom

Amazing game. I spent hours getting lost within the castle. There's so much attention to detail and the story is really good.

This game can literally go eff itself.

This game is designed to actually drive you mad. The more I progressed in the game the more I wanted to seriously hurt the developers.

The camera is an utter hindrance, to the point it actually counters every mouse/controller action and acts of its own accord. You find yourself spending more time fighting against the camera than actually playing. Example: drive near a car and missile it in a race, the camera focuses on the car being destroyed and completely ignores the fact you're trying to navigate a course, so you end up viewing behind you regardless. The same happens in fights so, more often than not you're playing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ punching air.

Driving mechanics fair between tolerable to downright ludicrous. It can randomly hit a boulder head on and be fine, but hit an invisible pebble in a race and you're spun 270 degrees. Chum's car might as well be an excited bouncy ball on acid.

The last few chapters feel so rushed they're like watching the last 2 seasons of a show on super fast forward - you literally complete 90+% of the game with a v6 engine - and the story starts to make zero sense near the end.

Couldn't finish the game as I felt I would have to go on a sadistic rampage afterwards.

It would be less painful if I repetitively stabbed myself in the eye with a vinegar soaked sharpened chopstick. Hateful experience.

Amazing game. I absolutely love ancient mythology, and this game just sucked me into a wonderfully immersive version of everything I love about the genre. Superb voice acting and an amazing atmosphere/environment.

It's not open-world but there is so much to explore. I love how the environment changes as the story progresses.

The story in itself is also amazing. Not being a PS owner ever, I did miss out on the previous backstory, and must admit I now regret not getting my self involved. Off to the books for me...

Still one of, if not the best RPGs of all time. On my second play through of the series after first playing it a few years back, and again I am totally immersed in it as if I was playing it for the first time.

Wonderful story line and soundtrack, and an abundance of quests and ? (looking at you Skellige). My only whinge is with the movement/control of Geralt - for example trying to edge forward to a specific location even in walk mode can get frustrating sometimes, but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the overall experience.

An overall absolute gem of a game:
- Amazing environment: I was especially impressed with the snow mechanics
- Beautiful music throughout
- Superb thought provoking story line, with very nice side quests intertwined
- Wonderfully designed and detailed mechs
- Really great characters.
- Very smooth graphically all the way through (running on GTX 1080)

Imagine ME1&2 and KotOR1&2 went off for a dirty, passionate weekend romp within the FO3/NV world...

...This would be the lovechild from the results of that entanglement.

An awesome game and my new favourite, with all the great elements of the above mentioned games all rolled into one.

Overall this was a very fun game to play, with a beautiful open world setting, humorous dialogue, a good story line with a visually and audibly stunning final scene to it in my opinion, and plenty of content to boot. There were also plenty of amusing parodies, and some moments which made me really laugh.

My only gripe with the game was the camera locking in places which just threw all sense of perspective out the window. Most of the open world is free camera movement until you get to specific locations - usually when high above the ground on some building - this is where the camera would lock itself to an angle that more often than not became an actual hindrance and served no purpose than to annoy, but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
