I don't normally review games but I felt the need to note a few things about this game after my experience playing. First of all the story is great, the game has a lot of worldbuilding that adds and helps explains the events in the Witcher 3 if you're thinking of playing it after that (which is what I did). But unfortunately the game has a few things that hold it back. The main problems are with the game's performance. The framerate will fluctuate from the hundreds to the low 20s, expect frame drops down to there even on modern hardware. Because its an old game it doesn't work well with modern hardware. The game also has a severe problem with crashing. You will load up a new chapter and the game will just crash, or you will be running around Vergen with just a crash to desktop. This problem is accelerated by the number of saves you have, as if you have a lot of save files the game seems to crash A LOT. So I advise turning off cloud saves and deleting your old save files regulary to try and avoid crashes, but you will still get the odd one every play session. The game also has quite janky combat but since its a 2011 game I won't judge it much for that, it didnt ruin my experience just made me laugh at times. I still recommend playing the game if you're a fan of The Witcher 3 as it helps explain a lot of the events during that game and is also just an enjoyable experience minus the performance issues. The game is in dire need of a remaster though if anything just to fix the performance issues but most likely it will be remade in the years to come after The Witcher 1 remake. Overall I'd say give the game a go, especially since most people buy the trilogy with the Witcher 3, it might already be in your library but be weary of the performance issues I've noted.
