BOOK and VIDEOGAME REVIEW⁠
//⁠
[The Last Wish]⁠
The Witcher franchise began as a short short published by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski in 1986. The book is a collection of short stories following witcher Geralt of Rivia in his dealing with various niche monsters, sorceresses, and general mayhem. I wasn’t expecting a collection of short stories, so it was a little difficult for me to get into at first. Once I realized how they were originally published, my mindset changed. I love the nuanced world Sapkowski built and his step-by-step fight descriptions. I wish readers had more insight into the character’s minds. ⚡️3/5⁠

[Witcher 3: Wild Hunt]⁠
Witcher shines in the side quests. They’re so detailed (yay! homage to the short stories everywhere!) and listening to the NPCs is actually worth it! They give you little insights into the true story behind your Witcher contract. I loved the choices developers allow players. Do you want to be strictly against all monsters? Or only threatening, non-sentient ones? Do you want to ally with bandits or spies? Your choice. ⚡️5/5
