**This game was breathtaking in it's scope and world building.** I've spent hundred's of hours becoming more and more attached to the gruff and grim **Geralt of Rivia** . My Geralt was fair, oppurtunistic, and always ready to scuffle. But my playthough was unlikely the same as yours. This game lends itself to be played in many ways and that speaks to the depth in storytelling and worldbuilding at play. Like most games with multiple story paths, I find myself conflicted in starting a new playthough because I'd like to believe my decisions carried some conviction... Unless this were fallout or BG3 where I can save scum and see many story altering branches. And I MAY have save scummed a bit to puruse Geralt's great loves. No you can't have it all but both main love interests are worth pursuing. The **GWENT **was somehow one of my favorite sidequests to track down in a game whose combat is extremely intricate. That is unless you max out QUEN and just reflect all damage with your shield bubble. It wasn't just fun to play, it was immersive. Hard to argue for me that this is a masterpiece.

This game gives you sooooo much agency that you will frequently forget WHAT you were supposed to be doing. What makes this different to most other open world games is that it's not sidequests that are necessarily distracting you, it's the game systems. Climbing, swimming, running, and horseback riding all feel like their own mini games. Combat has a tremendously high skill ceiling. The best part about this game is getting lost in those systems, and getting better at them.

An emotional story of disagreement, communication, forgiveness, and growth. One of the most memorable campaigns I've played through. Filled with puzzles, sidequests, and rpg elements. This game has it all. The combat is not half bad either ;)

Incredibly cinematic, emotional, and heavy hitting title. Stealth or combat, a choice that sometimes feels entirely out of your control.

This game, it's sequels and predecessors were pivotal in my childhood up to adulthood. Whooping my friends, and yes losing sometimes has been so entertaining. All are classics.

Unbelievable that the Halo universe could give us the power of masterchief and yet still make an absolute banger where you play as these highly specialized unit of grunts. One of my favorite halo games hands down.
