I brought it day 1 on PS4 (it didn’t even release on the PS5 for a while after) and played it for like 2 days straight and barely looked online. I came to my own conclusion that it was awful and felt good knowing I wasnt alone once I did look. Sony then refunded everyone and I took it. Then sometime later that year or maybe the year after when it was at its lowest it was also selling for basically nothing and swooped it up for $5 bucks on PC. I didnt touch it for years and think I played it finally once it dropped the last big update which may have been 2024? It was a great game at this point and fully worth a regular price.

As for the Witcher 3 it was always a great game and as far as I saw they did everything right for that game. Its probably a top 3 all time game for me since idk if I ever felt so emmerssed into a game like this one did. Attention to story was and is still peak gaming.
