This is a near perfect game, but it was mis-named. The correct title should have been: 'The Wild Hunt for Gwent'. In Witcher 3 it is a joy to take your time, ride a horse and watch the sun slowly setting, possible over the corpses of some bandits you sliced into pieces for trying to steal your cards. You play as a card-game addicted hero, who basically helps people out all over the place, getting to know everyone and meddling in their affairs a little. But the key thing is, you find out where all the other Gwent players hang out on the map. So you ride about, hunting your next game of Gwent and sometimes killing a few zombies to improve the lives of the locals. Your swords are very sharp and have an uncomfortable tendency to slice bad guys totally in half. Prepare to wash a lot of blood off your jeans. It is a slow burn. There is much to see and a lot of Gwent cards to collect. The fate of the world probably hangs in the balance, but that is not really important. As long as you can complete your Gwent collection, all is well. This may be the 'best game ever'. But the writing was on the wall for the perfect reputation of CDPR when they gave us their sacrilegious online version of Gwent. It was all too good to be true.
