Ash and Megan return to our discussion of the 2015 widely celebrated open world action RPG, The Witcher 3! In Part 2 of our review, we dive deeper into the story up to the final moments of the main quest, speak at depth about the rich characters encountered throughout the world, and wrap up any other details about the gameplay and presentation of this masterpiece from CD PROJECT RED. We even have some time to ponder on the future of the game series and franchise as a whole, from an upcoming remake of the first game, to The Witcher 4, and Season 4 of the Netflix series! At some point in the future, we’d love to revisit this title to explore the critically acclaimed DLC expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, but until then, stay tuned for our Game Launch episode on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a look at Fable II in Part 2 of our Anniversary Special (Part 1 out now), and more very soon!
