I have just recently started playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, after downloading it during the Christmas sale. So far so good, I am impressed and hooked! It is a rather scarier game than I am used to, with some horrific monsters, but I think I am coping ok. The gameplay feels so fresh compared to what I am used to with Skyrim and Assasins Creed/Shadow of Mordor. It has taken me a little while to get adjusted to the change in inventory, crafting and levelling up. I think the spells panel is quite cool, it reminds me of the shouts in Skyrim, I suppose that magic isn’t that dissimilar either.

I am currently stuck on the Ladies of the Wood storyline, and seem confused which path to take after researching online. I want to save the orphans but I have read that the evil in the trapped tree spirit is actually worse than the horrid crones. I’m hoping that you are able to defeat the crones at some point later in the general story. Decisions, decisions!

Note: Since drafting this post last month, I have moved on from that storyline. One of my friends confirmed that in terms of the storyline, it is better for you to save Gran and kill the tree spirit. I am now on the storyline where you are making good progress in finding Ciri with Yennefer. At this point I will just mention that you get the choice to choose lovers during the course of the game. Since I find it very difficult to make decisions (out of fear that I will make the wrong choice), I googled the storyline and wanted to stay with what is written in the books.

So in summary I am loving this game so far!

The new game I have played and completed prior to this is Assasins Creed Black Flag. Although I’m not a big fan of the Assasins Creed games, I do love a pirate game! I liked the storyline, graphics, history and I loved that you could board the ships and have ship battles! So yeah I think the game is really cool. Since completing the main storyline, I haven’t yet gone back to fully complete the game.
