This is the first game of this kind that I've played and it was quite strange and confusing for me at first. Since I started the game quite a bit later than other people, I had quite high expectations for the game because I had already heard other players' opinions, watched videos and such. My first entry into this new world and this new story lived up to the expectations I had built up from outside informants. I can't compare to the old games as I haven't played them, but definitely my first impression of this game was pretty positive



•Exploring:
Exploring this big world can really be a lot of fun. There's something special about riding a horse knowing you're going to kill monsters. I've never had a problem with having to reach a further point on the map as there is something to do everywhere. Whether you are attacked by monsters in the forest, along the river, find a bandits camp, enter a cave or simply collect herbs... It is never boring

•Combat:
The combat is one of the places where this game really shines. You have two swords, one of which is silver and the other is steel. The game is designed in such a way that it really matters which sword you use against different opponents. You use the silver sword against monsters, as most of them have a weakness for silver and would easily handle a steel sword. Meanwhile the steel sword is much stronger against human opponents who use various shields and armors

•Crafting:
I think the crafting is done pretty well. There are a bunch of different things you can craft for yourself. From different types of bombs, to swords and armors, to oils that are placed on your sword to further prepare for different beasts and let's not forget about the different potions.


I think this is one of the best written stories in the world of video games. Every dialogue, every scene, every decision... All this always keeps you interested. The decisions you make in different scenes affect the world around you and you always understand when you didn't make the right decision.


The graphics are great even at the lowest settings. Whenever you set out to complete a mission there is a sight that will make you stop for a moment and look at the sight before you and your horse. I personally loved riding Roach slowly through or around the various towns and just admiring the sights. It's quite soothing.

I had no problems at all.

Game tested on:


My conclusion is that the game is really worth every minute of play you give it. Although I recommend picking up the game when it's discounted, as it's already quite a few years old and has been discounted almost every time there's an occasion, I can guarantee it's worth it even at full price.
