Info
This game follows in the Witcher world you playing as the Butcher of Blaviken himself, Geralt of Rivia. Wouldn't want to spoil the story but its much better than the previous Witcher: Enhanced Edition which makes sense since it was given more time to develop.

Pros
The game has some good combat mechanics, being able to block enemy attacks, roll around like a madman and counter your opponents in combat. The game isn't technical in terms of combat but it sure is fun to roll around and cheese the crap out of monsters. The game has some good naughty scenes and great boss fights in different difficulties depending on how good of a player you think you personally are. The game isn't to grindy unless you played in Dark mode like myself and would like to get all the new armour as well as weapons that come along with this select game difficulty.

Cons
The game is pretty tedious if you try to get all the achievements in the game since you are required to play the game in two select difficulties, the first being your own choice and the second being in Insane mode to get that 'Madman' achievement.
I completed the game once on Dark mode and tried insane mode, it wasn't bad but was really boring in my opinion mainly because completing the game for a second time got frustrating. Some people might really love the Witcher series and wouldn't mind playing again but i, myself would prefer to play the game once and i wouldn't mind collecting all the achievements even if there were hundreds as long as i was required to play the game once. Apart from that little rant, the game has some problems when it comes to crashing, too many saves will crash your game like no tomorrow. I'm running this game with a RTX 3070 and 16GB ram but even i experience crashes. Deleting the saves take a lot of time but there are YouTube tutorials on ways to mitigate this problem.

Overall
The game itself was a great experience and after playing the first Witcher which wasn't very good in my opinion mainly because of the combat, it was a huge leap forward and NPC interactions were very interesting between the two different paths. Up to you to play on insane mode and get the rest of the achievements you need, i personally wanted to play other games since i got bored of this and seeing the Witcher 3 made me want to instantly play it. I decided against that because i wanted to understand the previous games before that to get a better feel for the characters in Witcher 3. Overall, i would definitely recommend this game to people who want to delve into the Witcher world and prepare yourself for Witcher 3.

Info
This game entails the user playing as Geralt of Rivia, who's a solitary figure that travels the world killing monsters whilst facing prejudice from certain people in a Gray world. Often times, people prove far worse in comparison to monsters which is what he experiences throughout his journeys. You play as this solitary figure, roaming the world, completing quests, hunting monsters for coin and humans to settle debts/revenge.

Pros
This game has a very solid story line with a whole bunch of content for the user to complete in order to further progress on their path towards completion. A bunch of NPC's to have conversations with in order to so secondary quests alongside the main quests for the progression of the story overall. The looting system is simple which is better than it being over complicated and the same thing can be said about the alchemy system which is very easy to understand with a bit of reading through the tutorials.

Cons
The game has quite a few problems which include the combat system being a pretty common one. This mainly refers to how the game requires a lot of patience in timing your clicks as well as the constant need to switch fighting styles in between pauses. People who tend to button smash like me will have a hard time getting use to it, but its definitely possible. Other problems for this game include glitches that happen with the saved files which don't load in properly and force me to re-use an older save file prompting me to re-do another full 1 hr of the same game play i did previously.

More problems include how the game again tends to glitch or mess up with story quest items. I faced this problem in Chapter II and was required to find all the Sephirots for the Monolith main quest but couldn't find the first one which was supposely obtained in the opening of the quest. This led to a lot of trial and error in trying to complete the game which of course ended in a total fail. Could've used saved game loads provided via sources online but i didn't want to go through the same quests again when the game is already repetitive as it is unfortunately. I also would rather complete the game myself than use someones else's copy so couldn't bare that.

Overall
I'll probably get a lot of heat from people who really love the witcher series for having a negative opinion on this game but i myself have read some of the witcher books and watched the netflix adaptation enjoying every bit of the story itself. I would've gave the game a recommendation of somewhere in the middle of Yes and No but that was clearly not an option and i favoured it being not a recommended game a little more than it being recommended.

The game had a lot of glitches and some people got lucky in not facing those glitches for doing certain quests in a pattern. I got use to the combat system and i really tried but i hated repeating myself again for an entire chapter because i was missing a single quest item. The game, granted is good, but i guess it wasn't for me. I'll defintely play Witcher 2 and 3 and maybe ill give this game another chance, but for now, Witcher 1 comes to an end for the time being.

Info
This application allows you to browse through various still and animated background wallpapers for your usage. It also allows you to customise and design your own 2D & 3D wallpapers for your personal usage or to upload them for others to see/use.

Pros
The application has some very good wallpapers for various categories and it also have some very easily obtainable steam achievements if your an achievement hunter like myself.

Cons
The application does randomly close for no reason sometimes and can get quite buggy but those little things can be fixed with small patches.

Overall
I believe this is worth the price since it's very cheap, lets you get steam achievements and best of all, allows the user to customise their own wallpapers for personal usage or publishing them for others to utilize.

Info
This is an Action RPG game in which the user plays as a shark and advances through the ranks to reach its final evolutionary stage. This game has quite a bit of gore but not a lot in comparison to other games in all honesty. The game has quite a bit of content to explore ranging from mini bosses littered around the map in different regions to fighting an end boss at the end. There are a lot of collectable items to collect in order for you to get those steam achievements later down the line.

Pros
The game has a lot of interesting combat mechanics and a wide range of quests to complete as you explore the oceans different regions and tackle various boss entities. Other good things about this game include the various combat styles you can play through different evolutionary paths making it unique in some sense. The best thing about this game would of course be the bounty progression which allows you to murder humans till your hearts content and fight little bounty leaders to unlock new evolution mutations for you to equip on your shark.

Cons
The cons for this game would mainly refer to how this game is a little lacking in content since it only took 21 hours to complete the game alongside collecting all the collectable items to get all the steam achievements. I'm not entirely sure if that's normal but i felt that i finished the game a little too quick which might just be me but would be nice if there were more DLC's to play with for extra content i guess. The jumping mechanics in this game are really bad but you can work your way around them with some more effort.

Overall
I would definitely recommend buying the game whilst its on sale to help you save some money and this game is worth the wait. I really enjoyed evolving my shark to new heights and watching it grow from a small Pup into a Goliath sized shark which was really cool in my opinion. The game is worth it and should definitely be on your wish list ;)
