While long games have almost become passé these days, it seems that “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” has become an exception because once gamers start playing it, they are obliged by their own wishes to finish and complete the game, regardless of how long it would take them.
One gaming critic shared that one of the reasons why “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” keeps him gripped is because of its strong character work even on its side quests.
While some features can be considered as inconsequential distractions to eat up time in many long games out in the market, the critic says that Geralt of Rivia and the world around him elicited value on the critic’s time.
“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” is a unique combination of a non-linear story and an open world featuring a character-driven non-linear story experience focusing on player choices, tactical combat and a rich and living environment.
The game also features a re-envisioned approach to the narrative. Combat has been redesigned in order to combine traditional RPG elements with the speed and precision of a dedicated fighting game.
As a massive role-playing game, some critics view “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” as too intimidating that it cannot be played right away without going to understand the first two games in the series.
However, there lies one of the major edges of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” over any other RPGs – its great storytelling.
