On the other hand, it’s not without its flaws.
There are many minuscule cracks and rough spots that the developers most likely forgot to buff out or fix.
That’s how you build a city in video games.
No wonder they call Velen, “No Man’s Land.”
It’s an elegant wine glass whereas Novigrad is but a moldy tankard of ale.
Nevertheless, it’s a fitting final expansion forThe Witcher 3and a perfect place for Geralt to settle down.
Moreover, the place is just devoid of anything to do other than Gwent.
It’s a beautiful nod to how far both the players and the developers have come withThe Witcherfranchise.
Everything that was in the first game is there, in glorious current-gen.
Besides, some of the most dramatic and heartfelt moments happen within the battered walls of Kaer Morhen.
Plus, that drinking quest with the Eskel and Lambert is quite unforgettable.
The worst of them all, aside from the witches of Crookback Bog, is Fyke Isle.
It’s way too late for that now.
3TERRIBLE: CROW’S PERCH
Oh look, it’s Velen again, what a horrible dunghole.
That’s the Red Baron for you.
Even his palisade or fortress town, Crow’s Perch, is a terrible place.
Again, it’s not a place you’ll want to revisit once you’re done with it.
Once you get there, however, it’s like a whole different game.
The atmosphere changes completely and everyone’s more muscular and/or thick.
Moreover, exploring Skellige Isles is just a fun experience and a breath of fresh air.
1TERRIBLE: SEAS
Of course, not everything in Skellige is favorable.
The mountains are usually manageable but what’s irritating to traverse are the seas.
