What players say
Fantastic game with rich story expected from Witcher universe combined with fun gameplay. One big problem that I have with the game is that choices you make trough out the game don't feel that meaningful.

The story and the voice acting of this game is superb, and the choices that it requires you to make are often genuinely difficult and thought provoking which makes the gameplay much more gripping.
