WITCHER 2 (from 2011, which is basically five years ago, right?) meanwhile: Decent enough. I enjoyed the Iorveth/Saskia path, some of the side quests and moments (the Siege of Vergen) were very cool, but it's all buried under an inordinate amount of pure jank.

Cover for Witcher 2. With Geralt walking towards the viewer a sword in hand, a battle in the background as well as Triss Merrigold's head and a dragon spewing fire.

And there's this annoying approach that thinks general sexism and political cynicism are super-mature, when they come across as juvenile at best. I really loved the DARKEST-DUNGEON-style woodcut like animated cut scenes though.

A cut scene showing Saskia from the game in armor that looks like Mad Max's leather outfit (with a very impractical cleavage window) surrounded by a group of heavily armored, fight-ready dwaves and Geralt of Rivia.
