A short game that took me around 2 hours to complete all endings and achievements (with dialogue skipping and help from guides). However, I thoroughly enjoyed these 2 hours for the $2.99 price tag. The artwork and character animations are very "human" and aesthetically pleasing. Story line and dialogue are believably real-life, although some players may expect more diverse branches and outcomes/scenarios to explore - it being a bit linear in this game.

P.S. Found out about this game through sodapoppin's Dec 4 2016 stream.

A golden fantasy RPG that shouldn't be missed by any gamer. More than just a game, boasting fast-paced combat/gameplay, gorgeous graphics paired with beautiful sceneries, heart-pounding OST, deep narrative with unforgettable quests, and so much more you'd want to see in a video game. As with anything in the world, there are imperfections here and there, but The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is care and love put into a video game - and it shows. CDPR are a developer that has always delivered quality content with no copromise to the PC community.

Equally long (short?) as the first game. However, this episode has got much less exposition and is far more mysterious - the "what the hell is going on?" kind. Although the level variety in this sequel is much more diverse (many different settings), the progression did feel a bit disconnected to me as a result of jumping though space and time after each room.

Regarding the puzzles: The possibilities are multiplicated in the sequel since you switch between locations (e.g. from a table in the center of the room, to a chest in the corner). It might lead to a bit of confusion at times, but it does make for some interesting circumstances. The difficulty felt slightly lesser than in the first game, paired with slightly more direct (in pointing the player in the right direction) compared to the first game.

One other thing of note is this game comes with a fair amount of creepy/disturbing vibes. The more faint hearted may feel a shiver or two at some points - but horror is obviously not a main point of this game and the player needn't worry much.

All in all, I do wish the sequel is a bit longer with more content, but I did have a good time playing through all the chapters and at this price the purchase is more than worthwhile. Bring on the third room!

A very smart puzzle game with at a very fair price. Very mysterious and intriguing background and setting, with attractive visual effects and animations enhanced from the mobile release. Reasonable difficulty - neither too easy nor too difficult, with helpful but optional hints being presented to the player at frequent intervals to help out the impatient. Not very long lasting in gameplay duration, but these short hours will be a blast.

Definitely worth its selling dollars of $5 (bought it at discount price myself).

Looks GOOD, sounds GOOD, is GOOD.Very artistic video game, with very decent gameplay to boot. A true gem in the midst of the many dull/mediocre video game releases we see these days. It's more than a game, it's an EXPERIENCE.

HIGHLY recommended, even at its full $20 price.

Game length: 6h 21m, first playthrough
- Missing 1 collectible and a handful of secret locations.
- A fair amount of backtracking to find collectibles involved.
- Not that much of 'stopping to see the sights'.

Quick notes:
1. Visuals and audio are AMAZING.
- Foreground and background art are a joy to look at. Environments/levels are diverse yet all very outstanding. The screenshots on the store page are enough to sell the whole game - it did for me.
- Sounds effects have a lot of "boom" and "oomph", was truly a pleasant experience (understatement) playing the game at a high volume.
- Noticeably exceptional soundtrack, complement the game sequences wonderfully.

2.1. Challenging game (though not unfairly so).
- Not as simple as most other games. Expect to die quite a lot.
- No "free" saves, require a resource. However, this resource is fairly abundant, and common enough to act as a 'quick save' mechanism.

2.2. Certain troublesome portions of the game may lead to a fair degree of frustration and cussing.
- A lot of repeating sequences on failure (no saves in between).
- Little room for error, may prove quite a challenge for most players.

3. Some "boring" (relative to a player's tolerance/opinion) backtracking involved for power-up/collectible finding.

One-word summaries of my experience with this game:

Lots of reading content: Open ended VN with branching decision points that can lead to 13 endings, each with decent length storyline branches. ALL the endings were very well worth exploring, each pair (of 2 endings, 1 single ending) fairly distinct from one another. This VN is GUARANTEED to mess with your mind and give you feels.

Note: Contains some degree of creepiness/scariness, especially in one of the "hidden" storyline routes - would advise caution for the less brave.
