Naturally, the complexity and emotional impact of the main story line, as well as the other seemingly insignificant encounters, are hard to really describe with out going into specifics and spoiling it for you. Over the course of the main quest I was led on a road of celebrating at a wedding with a ghost, which was packed full of laughter, to planning a grand heist and then on to being genuinely terrified and creeped out – with further sprinklings of shock, amusement, intrigue and passionate nookie added in along the way.

It felt very reminiscent of one of the short stories from the first two Witcher books, which despite their relatively short length were still able to deliver some truly brilliant moments. However, with its much shorter length (roughly ten hours) the story is much more focused and the threads are a lot easier to follow.
