This video ended up slightly different to how I intended. I had a huge amount to say about this game and, despite this videos long length, I ended up cutting a huge amount of the notes I’d made and also had to be very selective with what to include. In the end I focused on what seemed most important to me: the game’s biggest flaws and its most underappreciated strengths. The end result is that I spend roughly an equal amount of time in this video criticizing the witcher 3 as I do praising it, but it’s not because I dislike the game as much as I like it. I love the witcher 3, and I hope that even if this video is heavy with criticism that it still feels like a celebration of this game, because it was very much intended to be.
