Despite being a Polish story, various used terminology, the spelling of various names, pronunciations, and accents are distinctly British (for example - "cock up," "nick," and pronouncing it leftenent). None of the "choices" make a difference. Ciri is the only female character that is written to be likable (she even has her moments). Some of the dialogue seems like the characters talking past each other. Various names are mispronounced and/or misspelled and/or the wrong names altogether. It is just hack-and-slash, until the next scripted scene. The crossbow is only useful underwater (even though projectiles slow down considerably in water). Character level quests seldom give character (or even quest) level gear. There are various invisible walls in paths and the main character is (at various times) arbitrarily unable to jump. Horses do not seem capable of jumping. There is some leftist cringe.

There seem to be roughly twenty npc models just re-used. Only quest and mob npcs can even be hurt. The main character is a push-over (no matter what dialogue option is chosen), effectively making him effectively just another npc. The "mature" content (to be fair some of this is warned about in the rating) is disgusting and immature.

If you are simply looking for a new version of Fallout 4(3), with no good guy (gal) storyline, railroaded dialogue options, long load screens, a congested map, workbenches (in the same settlement that do not share supplies, and a bunch of useless supplies, then this game is for you.

Positives - A new setting, good graphics

Negatives - no good guy (gal) storyline, railroaded dialogue options, redundant skills, useless skills (such as hacking), long load screens, a congested map, workbenches (in the same settlement) that do not share supplies, point blank ballistic misses, a bunch of useless supplies, (various mechanical bugs), and not able to skip the end credits

I will be uninstalling this game and can NOT recommend it.
