An unparalleled series that captivated me from the very first minutes. I played through all the games in one breath, and at the end I found myself asking, “Is that all?”

Despite the combat system and graphics, the first installment was the most atmospheric and the most “book-like” for me (at that time I had only read three books from the saga). Its quests kept putting a smile on my face throughout the entire game. It’s just a shame there are no achievements here. I hope the developers fix that in the remake.

The second installment felt like the weakest to me. At the same time, it’s the most mature, if you can call it that. Political intrigue, tough choices between sides in a conflict with no lesser evil to pick. By that point I had almost finished the books, so the romance with Triss felt twice as unpleasant. Overall, it’s still a very good game, just slightly behind its brothers. And the “Madman” achievement made me sweat a bit. I hate nekker enemies and adore Quen.

The third game truly went all out. Dozens of activities, hundreds of engaging quests, Gwent. A compelling story that concludes the tale of the White Wolf. No wonder it won Game of the Year. The achievements are interesting without being exhausting. I love getting 100% like that. And how much all our friends have changed for the better. Triss became more charming and attractive. Still, no matter how much she changed, after reading the books the choice is obvious. For those who choose Triss, why? I’m curious to hear your arguments.

An incredible almost 600 hours that, as it turns out, won’t let me go for a long time.
