Default Witcher 3 - 100 Word Review @ The Sydney Morning Herald

June 10th, 2015, 08:05
Tim Biggs reviewed the Witcher 3 in just 100 words:
A triumph of open-world roleplaying, the Polish, literary origins of this complex, sexy game make for a stark contrast against its bawdy American and bombastic Japanese contemporaries.

Part detective story, part sprawling European fantasy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is dark, grounded, and contains a dangerous amount of lore and land to explore. It's violent, but also unafraid of broaching themes of war, racism and sexuality in a genuinely mature way.

Protagonist Geralt is quietly heroic and refreshingly complex, his foes vile and deadly, but morality is never black and white. This is a game where even the monsters and your enemies have complex stories and motivations.

He should aim for 80 words next time. The superfluous adverbs could be removed quite easily. Maybe one day he'll reach the pinnacle of his craft and get down to just 2 words "It's great!". Perhaps only one is needed? "Awesome!". I personally prefer 113 worded reviews though, so I shall take this review with a pinch of salt.

Technically that's three words, but I know where you're coming from!

A 100 words does that equate to one word for every hour he played it? What if it took him 150 hours?

The author fails to recognize the irony of calling American and Japanese RPGs, 'bombastic.'
