@Ralizah I thought it was brilliant and Geralt’s sarcastic/dour personality clashes with the over the top, upbeat vibe that everyone else has going on.
Part of the main story towards the end has one of my favourite sequences in the whole game too.
I will say, though, it's going to take a lot for its bosses to impress me more than Hearts of Stone's bosses did. The main game's boss encounters were seriously weak, but bosses like The Toad Prince and The Caretaker in that expansion were awesome.

Playing Mario Party 3 on a 4K TV feels wrong but I forgot how incredibly fun these games were! It’s crazy how cheap I got the N64 trilogy for a few years back and seeing how much they go for now.
So, I'm playing Blood and Wine still, and I get to this part where you can enter an illusionary fairytale realm via a magic book. I was hoping it'd be a quick segment, but there are a ton of objective markers and a notice board, so I'm guessing I'm stuck here for a while. Meh.
@RogerRoger@Thrillho I mean, it's funny when it begins, and there's unicorns and you're getting into big boss battles against the three pigs after blowing their house down, and a barely fictionalized version of the Little Match Girl has turned into a hardened drug dealer, and so on, but it shouldn't be part of the main quest. I go into main quests with a different mindset than I go into side-quests. The game literally lifts you out of a thrilling, near-apocalyptic scenario and dumps you into this weird situation for god knows how long, which kills the pacing.
@RogerRoger So, before all this, an army of vampires has descended on a populated city and is massacring everyone on the orders of a Higher Vampire who was tricked by the woman he loved into committing horrible acts. Geralt and a friend are desperately hunting for this woman so they can bring her to the Higher Vampire and stop the full-scale slaughter of human civilians. You discover she's locked in this magic book. And then... poof! Unicorns, little match girl, the whole shebang. It's PROFOUNDLY jarring.
@Pditty1980 Yeah man their great, I'm liking Ori more than I thought I would. I heard all the praise about Will of the Wisps, I was gonna jump straight in but I decided I should honor Ori by playing the origin story.
I had an N64 but I missed out on Gamecube and Wii so I never experienced Sunshine or Galaxy, Mario 64 is one of my favorites of all time and Odyssey is really giving a run for its money. I just finished up New Donk City and I'm in some beach kingdom now. I'm sad that their taking the Mario anniversary pack off the store in March, I'm hoping to be able to pick it up before they remove it.
I got on the Hades train pretty late, I got it a little bit before the game awards because I wanted to see what the hype was about. I've played about 10 hours and early on I can tell why so many people love this game. The combat is really fun and can be challenging, but they're always empowering and rewarding you so it's pretty satisfying to play. I find it impressive how the story is told in between escape attempts and characters even remember things you've done.
Like an absolute madman, I’ve started another file in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. I bought a repro cart with the English translation on it a while back which isn’t really like giving my money to Nintendo but eases my conscience. It’s a sort of great game, with a truly dark story and some cool gameplay mechanics, while also having utterly dreadful mechanics and some dull af maps.
