Game of the Month: The Witcher
2 years ago
The GotM journal is a review of the game, remember that they will all have the same categories but, not necessarily the content.
I'm sure most people will have ether played or heard of The Witcher: Wild Hunt, no where near that many seem to have heard of or played the first of second, this review will describe the Pros and Cons as well as the content within:
Blood/Gore: Yes, yes, and yes again, The Witcher is quite a violent game with the monster hunting and boxing etc. Like so many games, whenever you hit someone the blood starts to fly, in many it doesn't even touch the ground, here however, the blood stays until you leave the area or, much more likely, is covered by more blood. The body remains behind after you kill the person or beast, nothing wrong with that, until you wait an minute and it turns to a bloody ruin, there are also many times when you will come across dead rat with it's guts spilling out. Don't even get me into boxing.
Err, "romantic bits": Yup, The Witcher may not s*x scenes, but you get a card with the (usually nude) woman on it. Not much more to say.
Disturbing scenes: This is about Monster hunting, frightening scenes (almost literally) grow in trees: The undead and such, half the game really. But, to be honest, they're NOWHERE near as bad as i thought, the worst scenes would be found in a PG-13 film.
It might be a bit on the violent side but there are a ton of games which are way worse (blood and gore wise), and when you get around that it's not that hard to understand how The Witcher became such a big thing. Also, the game it's self isn't the hardest but even on easy it's a good challenge. I give it an 8/10 for many reasons.
Pros:
Great story, with new enemies and monsters up till the end.
Not to easy not to hard, even on easy it's presently challenging without being crazy easy or hard.
Alchemy mixing and ingredients adds a whole new level not found in many games.
No horribly gory scenes although there is blood and gore, it's not very realistic in ether the original or the deluxe.
Cons:
Language is very, very, VERY strong, not as much as the next game though.
S*x scenes are avoided, but you get cards with the pictures of the woman on them instead (some would have me call this a "Pro" instead).
Not realistic, but blood and gore none the less.
Feel free to leave comments!
