    - great graphics,
    - magnificent sound and synchronisation ( lip synchronous localisations(!) )
    - awesome twisted story
    - huge World
    - somewhat repeating, or at least very similar, sidequests.
    - The controlls has lots of room for improvement

    overall a great RPG with many explorable details and a long missed depth in gameplay

If you haven't see this ending u must get it because this is real good ending that will moved you in tears!

    One of the finest RPG's ever made. Finally a game that topples Baldur's gate II from it's lofty pedestal. Icredible story and characters that you wiill miss sorely when the adventure comes to a close.

    Best Open world RPG for Next Gen consoles by far. I usually don't have any interest in RPG games,and I am really bad at it too. But witcher 3 is really something else.The story is deep and epic.

I'm often called a critical person and frankly I do have standards set high, but this game outdoes my expectations far and beyond. I wasn't in the mood for more Skyrim and Fallout so I ignored this game for a long time. Then, about a year ago, I bought it through steam, thinking what the hell, I want an RPG/Adventure and I tried it. I was caught up in the game immediately. Even the cutscenes are a pleasure to watch.

    This game does so many things right - even to the perfection I claim. For example every character has a backstory. Without giving away spoilers, imagine you find a potential treasure, a dead body and a letter nearby. Read it and you will learn the poor bastard was tricked or possibly robbed underway, often a sad story but it gives you clue where to find the real treasure - which was a gift to his new bride to be waiting for him to show up. So now you have a background story and a clue to a treasure. It's so well doe, each and every time again.

    Of course the game has a few negatives, but they are so insignificant I almost didn't write them down, but here they go: first of all lot of gear you pick up is useless. Think of swords and armor. It's just to sell them for money. Actually I should say it it a reverse way; too little gear is useful. You only have to settle with a relative few sets of gears and the rest is scrap. The second and final complaint is the availability of rare herbs and materials is too low. And when you need them you have no clue where to look for in this huge (!) land, so you are forced to resort to answers on a forum by fellow players. I consider it a bit of cheating but you won't have a choice. That's all the negativity I have to share.

    If you love or like RPG/Adventure games then this is it. Not to mention the phenomenal sounds and music, graphics are to drool over, aaah I'm getting crazy lol! And finally there's tons of content, meaning you won't be finished for a long long time. If that's not all, there are endless mods available, I used about 13 of them.

    I wanted to write more good stuff but forgot what it was. So you know what, buy it will ya? Oh, now I remember: the follow-up add-on games, Blood and Wine and Heart of Stone are awesome to. Honestly, buy them immediately. Especially Heart of Stone is well integrated as you can use Heart of Stone as a major (!) side quest. Blood and Wine is for the more experienced player who finished the original quests first.

    So,if you have a beating hart, you must buy, unless you have a Heart of Stone. In that case go to hell... :)

    Games are constantly being rushed out of development, requiring day-one patches and review embargoes to save dying developing and publishing teams from going belly-up, or resort to cutting half the content of the game and selling the rest as Downloadable Content.

    Fan entitlement is at an all-time high, creating unimaginable hype for games that would've otherwise been acceptably good games in the past, deemed bad because it didn't live up to its hype.

    Reviewer integrity is under threat, so much so that customers are beginning to only trust customer reviews rather than reviewer reviews. Even the customer review system is being abused by people who'd give a game a 10/10 "to offset the 0's" and 0/10's "to offset the 10's".

    So among all of this sludge, it's nice to see a game developing team that's transparent about delays and issues and sees that if you take care in your work and don't do it just for the money, you can make something to be proud of and still come home a bit richer (as of mid 2015, it nearly doubled its budget in profit).

    When people'll discuss whether video games could be considered an art form, this game will be front line and centre as an example. CD Projekt Red found a way to create the perfect storm of RPG elements, combat, and story and character development.

    Every character, no matter how insignificant, is given a backstory. Every side quest is given full dialogue. Every main quest delves not only into the backstory of our main characters, but even the people you didn't know about prior. The dialogue flows naturally, creating a level of immersion you get from watching an episode of Game of Thrones. In fact, if CD Projekt Red simply made Witcher 3 into a TV show and just used the cutscenes from the game, it'd be one of the most popular shows on now.

    And when you least expect it, they throw in an awesomely addicting card game that's simple to play, but a fair challenge to get a good deck.

    What else is there to say? If you haven't gotten it yet, go on GOG and pick it up, most likely on sale. $80 is well worth the price of this game. Hell, if it cost $150, it'd still be worth it.    … Expand

It makes every Bethesda game, with their silly, short, and shallow quests and stories, look like children had made them. Literally. One's not even able to compare them properly. They're leagues apart on practically every level. CDPR tower over Bethesda, and they were a smaller group of developers when they made TW3! They understand art, storytelling, player choice, open world, design, detail, balance, and so so so much more. I'm done with Bethesda. They were in prime position to take RPG gaming to the next level, but they went backwards, big time. TH should be fired. PH should be fired. EP should definitely be fired more than anyone else. As well as the hidden decision makers. They take years to produce those RPG **** What a laugh!

    When a game like The Witcher 3 is played, one can see what's possible in RPG gaming, and you can easily make the stance that Bethesda contains high levels incompetence, stupidity, laziness, greed, and luck.

    Story: For giving no spoilers I won't give detail information, but I can tell, that you won't be disappointed if you expect a story with varied characters and twists. 4/5

    Character: Like mentioned before, the characters are all different, which makes them very credible and also interesting. The main character is just a legend, his behaviour is nearly always honorable. 5/5

    Conversations: Geralts answers are clever and understandable all the time, even, when you choose an answer, being rude. 4,5/5

    Graphics: The attention to details is just amazing. Playing on the highest settings is an experience that nobody should ever miss. Whether you look into the sun at the very morning or at a lake, while standing on an island or in the woods; your eyes will thank you.
    The countryside and the giant size of the world contains a huge number of varied villages, places and missions. 5/5

    Handling: To be honest, the only critic point on The Witcher: Wild Hunt. Controling Geralt is often exhausting. Much more complicate, when he rides Roache. 2/5

    Battle System: Easy, but makes still a lot of fun. The battles look authentic and the enemys are neither overpowered nor underpowered. In addition, every enemy has own flaws, whereby the diversity is distinguished. 4/5

    An epic journey around a beautiful, vast open world. Three games into the series (all of which I've played) and this was, on balance, better than it's predecessors (though W1 still the most charming).

    Things I loved:

    - a long storyline which invests you in the characters emotionally
    - beautiful world, beautiful music (I'd move to Velen if I could - with a summer house in Skellige)
    - simple yet mostly satisfying combat style (I never used enemy-lock though)
    - much improved inventory/crafting interface
    - and a very strong character building system which finally forces you to chose a single way (with the option to revamp using potion of clearance when you so choose - great for tweaking)
    - you can 'lose' the game (like I did - very sad about it I was too) based on your decisions with a variety of endings.
    - You can abandon the main storyline whenever you feel like and go exploring in a HUGE world
    - Gwent > Dice
    - Roach

    Dropped the ball:

    - Far too easy to accumulate money because there is too much stuff to loot and sell
    - Alchemy has also become far too easy as you just need to find the herbs once and then it replenishes every time you meditate - part of the fun of W1 and W2 was having to take time out from the story to go foraging for the herbs needed to make the potions you needed - it's too easy in W3
    - Enemies on harder levels don't get smarter, they just have higher stats meaning that they are still easy to beat once you know how they fight. Come the second half of the game end it's just too easy (played hardest setting with enemy upscaling enabled) to win fights.
    - Can't fight the guards (w/o getting KO'd in one hit anyway)

    All in all, whether new to the series or not, W3 is pretty awesome.    … Expand

This game is an absolute masterpiece of the RPG genre, and is the new golden standard of the genre, i will explain you why: first off, in these days, that are a lot of RPGs, but very few of them seem to understand what makes an RPG an RPG, and that is ROLEPLAY, yes it's pretty self explanatory, rpgs should always have roleplay, otherwise it's not an RPG, and that is: you need to make choices as the character, and not only as the player, and those changes need to have a tangible impact in the world around you, and on the characters, and Witcher 3 masters this, your choices have imediate and long term effects, so you have to choose carefully how you'll conduct yourself. Next topic is story, and it is very good, they take a simple premise, which is finding your long lost adopted daughter Ciri, and protecting her from an otherwordly threat that is pursuing her and they expand it to a degree of complexity with the side stories Geralt will be caught in, and the numerous mishaps in the way, that it's simply amazing. The world of the Witcher 3 is to put it simply, a masterpiece on it's own, it's the best open-world i've ever seen, it's huge, but it feels so organic and full of life, that you'll feel very, very immerse into it. The game also has one of the best cast of characters you'll ever see in a video-game, each one with it's unique and rich backstory, which, by the way, is part of the vast lore of the game. The combat is simple, but engrossing, as a witcher, Geralt has a plethora of combat choices, and an arsenal at his disposal: you have light attacks, heavy attacks, your crossbow, bombs at your disposal, magical signs, potions, decoctions, etc. all these elements combined, make for one of the most interesting combat mechanics to feature in an action-rpg. I could spend much more time listing the games pros, and believe me that are many, the only con i've ever faced in this game are some of it's bugs, but nothing game breaking was experienced by me. IMHO, this game is the best rpg games in years, and alogside another masterpiece which is Pillars of Eternity, it carries the banner of other juggernauts of the genre, such as Baldur's Gate II, Planescape Torment and Gothic 2, it is one of those games that every gamer must play, and if you're an rpg fan and haven't played this game yet, what's wrong with you? get it asap!… Expand

I generally love any open world fantasy RPG, but Wild Hunt is a true masterpiece of the genre. The world is one of the most impressive I have seen, it is large, interesting, and extremely deep and engaging. I love the character and enemy design, the crones made me cringe every time I saw them and other enemies are chilling to fight. The game is very well optimized, I had no trouble with it, this is impressive because the game looks absolutely beautiful and I couldn't help but take multiple screenshots. The game play is also very polished and fun, fighting is seamless and tactical, though it could be a little more in-depth, I was disappointment that the crossbow was next to useless but in the end the sword-play is the real meat of the combat. As for the story it is extremely engrossing, interesting, and made me actually care about characters and what happened in the game. I was actually extremely disappointment that I missed a quest and the world didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. There are many choices to be made and relationships to develop, the RPG element is not overlooked and I appreciated it greatly. Even the side quests are developed in detail and are almost as interesting as the main story. With all the different quests, contracts, and treasure hunts there is a near endless amount of time to be spent with the game. There is even a card game, gwent, that could be it's own standalone game, which is fun and interesting, just like the rest of the game. Overall The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a true masterpiece and I completely recommend it to any RPG lover, action fan, or general gamer looking for fun combat, and engrossing world, or gripping story. 11/10… Expand

The games protagonist, Geralt is on a search for his daughter for most of this game, while she goes through a harrowing adventure dodging a vicious and unstoppable army. You hear, see through some short flashbacks, and are told through expository dialogue what's been happening, but it's the mundane stories and problems in the world of the Witcher that Geralt runs into that provide a very human and compelling adventure.

    It sounds strange and possible boring to be playing a minor player in a grander adventure, but as Geralt you get to see and shape the small stories that fall to the wayside in these grand adventures. Unlike most protagonists in role playing games, Geralt has a personality, history, and friend, leading to great dialogue and interactions with characters. You can shape his decisions and to a small extent his personality, but Geralt is his own man who will respond with personality all his own.

    This is in thanks to some of the best writing and cinematography in a videogame to date, giving all the characters, big, small, or even as tiny as a no name shopkeeper, personality or a story for no other reason than to flesh out the people and world. A review of the Witcher 3 wouldn't be complete without praising the absolute technical mastery that has gone into this games graphics and animations, without a doubt they give the grand vistas, horror, the emotional, and even comical moments so much more punch.

    From small things, like a grimace from a bad joke, wrinkle of the forehead, to the large things like a character crying over a friends death or the look in a mans face as falls into a suicidal despair. They don't make the story or the game, but in conjunction with the writing it provides a boost that pushes the Witcher 3 to a level above any RPG that has come before it. For Fans of the Witcher series, it's a must buy and for people completely unfamiliar with the series it is as well.

    One warning I give to players, even though it is spectacular from the beginning, the game is so large it can feel so daunting with the massive amount of content available that many players will not be able to get hooked by it with only an hour or two. But I guarantee, if you stick with it for another couple hours, do a few more quests, the game will sink it's claws into you.    … Expand

    I first met the Witcher world for the first time just a couple of years ago. And the acquaintance began with books. Sapkovsky created a world that was absolutely unique in sensations - after reading you do not have a feeling of delight, but after you close the book you suddenly realize that it was very cozy, great and sincerely sorry to say goodbye to him. Attempts to flirt with an epicI first met the Witcher world for the first time just a couple of years ago. And the acquaintance began with books. Sapkovsky created a world that was absolutely unique in sensations - after reading you do not have a feeling of delight, but after you close the book you suddenly realize that it was very cozy, great and sincerely sorry to say goodbye to him. Attempts to flirt with an epic fantasy just spoiled the saga, and the coolest in the books remained the stories of the first two volumes and local events (as well as the last, recently published book, in the style of the first two collections).
    The first part of the game definitely got to the list of favorite ones because of the elaboration of the plot and the special, deep atmosphere. Medieval Vyzima, deaf forests with scattles, frightening swamps and strange inhabitants of it, ghosts of the fields ...
    The developers managed to ideally get into, fit into the world of Sapkowski, despite the fact that many plot motifs were repeated, and the characters themselves didn’t intersect with the saga either - they remembered Pan Andrzej once more in the pages of the manuscript.
    The second part was a step forward and at the same time in something a mistake. In technical terms, this was a completely new, unique pumping system, which excluded the possibility of turning the game into a slasher by notables - experience dripped from quests, and for environmental genocide they gave pennies. However, the atmosphericity of the books and the first part, their local cosiness, were sacrificed for political intrigues and large-scale decisions. The three locations of the world of the Second Witcher were not bad, but each of them lost any of the first part: The forests of Flotzam were monotonous than the swamps, although in reality there were more quests and opportunities, Lok Moinn did not fit into the concept of the Witcher (purely subjective opinion), only the location of the second act was more or less, but it was not enough. The main insult of the second part was the moment of the omission of the peasantry - the basis of medieval life and the disappearance of notes of Slavic (albeit too Germanized West Slavic, but still Slavic) myths and beliefs.
    The third part is the work on the bugs. In an amicable way, the only minus of the game is that you cannot follow several tasks on the map at once. Well, the levels are painfully easy - playing when completing secondary quests to level 12-14 becomes boring even on the third difficulty level. Although someone like. But here are the pluses ... The boundless expanses of the peasant settlements of Medieval Poland, the truly living inhabitants of Skelliga (and not the plastic monotonous fools from Skyrim), breathing the events of Novigrad - once you get here, you don’t want to return. Old heroes and even minor characters in the book saga are returning (oh, what a pity for Lashorel, this is my favorite story!). Before the stupid, creepy witches, the beautiful Iwasik, the **** Bloody Baron - and all this only in the first part of the game! The characters of all these characters are revealed cooler than in half of modern films - bravo to the authors of the dialogues and our translators and actors, by the way, too (if not for the damned timing and laconic, but so short for phonetics English, because of which the replicas are in Russian they greatly accelerated! And how the third-party quests are worked out - the most interesting are not only the main quests of the plot, but also additional tasks and orders that are not related to it. In every house of this vast world, there is a tremendous amount of work. the previous parts were quite "closed" and the Witcher's fans, in principle, loved him from out of the giant expanses. And with them, an abundance of interesting finds, constant innovations, the game would not get bored. Great creation! I did not find any glitches and other bugs during the passage, I do not chase graphics, in those terms everything suits me.

    - Points that weaken: The control of the horse and Geralt is sometimes a little crazy (depending on the areas that we go and clear speed), I do the analysis now but the game was spent years ago and I wanted to squeeze it to the maximum (after play 1000 hours to the title) and still contains some bugs (and that CD Projekt solved each error had been quickly to offer the best expreciencoa to the consumer), and that's it, for me has no more weak points.
    Why a 10? There is no perfect game, now or ever, but for me a 10 to a video game means that it is worth what you pay for and it is worth every cent of what it costs, not having this game aueencima is 30 euros or less.

Именно в них вы прочувствуете игру, они приведут вас по разным уголкам карты, познакомят вас с разными персонажами, заставят вас делать ОЧЕНЬ трудные выборы, которые напомнят о себе спустя долгое время. 2.

    2. Хорошая графика. Не скажу что графика топ 1, но мне зашла.

    3. Русский. Русские субтитры, озвучка, приятные голоса. Много разнообразных русских слов, как же не упомянуть маты, в игре их достаточно, даже складывается чувство, что игру создавали в России.

    4. NPC. В игре много NPC для взаимодействия, у NPC хорошая харизма и озвучка, интересные диалоги с выходом на разные концовки этих диалогов.

    5. Свобода выбора. Самый сок Ведьмака, свобода выбора везде, абсолютно, игру можно пройти десятки раз и она не надоест, если конечно её проходить по разному.

    6. Атмосфера игры. Атмосфера очень проработана. Действия происходят во время войны двух держав, это видно не только на полях боя, которые завалены трупами, а в сожжённых деревнях, загнивающих от голода сёлах. В деревнях люди работают, устраивают кулачные бои, пьют в тавернах. Доски объявлений, случайные диалоги и задания. Это всё в сумме даёт именно ту топовую атмосферу.

    7. Открытый мир. Мир ведьмака ОГРОМЕН, в нём сложно заскучать. Большое количество разнообразных локаций, пещер, деревень. У каждой локации своя атмосфера, своя музыка, каждая локация по своему принимается душой, ты чувствуешь каждый уголок по своему.

    8. Снаряжение. Броня, мечи, арбалеты, броня на лошадь. Снаряжения в этой игре очень большое количество, всё снаряжение в игре вы не соберёте даже играя тысячи часов, будет хоть один десяток предметов, который вы не найдёте с 50+ прохождения.

    Минусы:

    1. Плотва. У Плотвы немало багов, но это скорее стало её фишкой, чем недостатком. Плотва бывает неизвестно где, вытворяет непонятные вещи. Мне это даже нравится (Каждому своё).

    2. Идеальность. После Ведьмака будет сложно искать себе игру, так как все игры будут сравниваться с Ведьмаком и будут хуже него, остальные игры будут казаться отсталыми и скучными, заставляя вернуться в этот шедевр.    … Expand

    I was an elder scroll fan until I played The Witcher 3... I finished it three times and the game is still fun.
    Graphics are amazing, so is the story. DLCs are very good, especially Hearts of Stone

    Easily the best game I played and I think it's gonna stay like that a while.
    It tells a great story fulfilled with great characters, has a massive open world that you can explore and do side quests witch don't feel rushed and are always fun to do.
    The only bad thing about this game is that you might not like any other games after you beat it

    Najlepsza fabuła w grze jaką poznałem! Historia bierze za serce, chciałoby się wszystko zrobić od razu. Misje poboczne nie są takie nudne jak w innych grach. Dialogi perfekcyjne, zwłaszcza w polskiej wersji językowej. Przyjemny system walki na niższych poziomach, na wyższych jest trochę uciążliwy. Grafika nawet w 2020 jest fantastyczna.

    One of the best games ever made. Especially as an open world. I have spent hours and hours just running around observing interesting aspects of the world. Animals just like people sleep/hunt at specific times of the day. Go to a cave and a werewolf may only appear after sunset. Go to the same cave during the day and it will be completely empty and you can loot the interesting items within.One of the best games ever made. Especially as an open world. I have spent hours and hours just running around observing interesting aspects of the world. Animals just like people sleep/hunt at specific times of the day. Go to a cave and a werewolf may only appear after sunset. Go to the same cave during the day and it will be completely empty and you can loot the interesting items within. Too often its easy for developers to artificially insist on blocks to prevent getting rewards without fighting the monster. This is the first game which sticks to the law. If you can exploit the world, you should be able to get your reward. This is just one of the many examples of how this world has been finely crafted. Even simple side quests have a level of emotional investment that make them interesting. Its the little threads, the extra attention which has made this probably one of the most memorable games in recent times. A true landmark for this age on how current technology can be leveraged for entertainment. This is second only to the world of GTA 5. In some cases, it may be even better. The combat has been improved as well. It is a lot more responsive. It can be as hard as you want it to be. For veterans I suggest atleast the blood and broken bones. It makes you care enough to read the beastiary and prepare for the encounters ahead. It makes you care about weaknesses. This is the true way to play the witcher 3. No other game has had such deep combat with an addictive and immersive world.
    On the negatives, the removal of a storage system, limitations on skills, lack of consistency with movement (Why not go the extra distance and add animations for picking up objects ..given there is delays in changing direction) and random physics bugs of rag doll objects are annoying, yet minor issues when compared to everything this game gets right.
    Sometimes, its good to look over the few negatives and enjoy the spectacle and get immersed in an adventure that has been lovingly crafted. DO it with the witcher 3 and pay attention to the details to truly enjoy this game.    … Expand

    Loving it so far. Although technically an Open World game, the main storyline flows quite well without most of the flaws of your typical open world game, it feels more like a linear main storyline with side quests (which is probably a good thing as it gives the designers a greater ability to make an engaging main storyline).

The graphics are incredible, the detail on some of the armor especially the chain mail is mind-boggling. My only complaint so far is the looting system, it's sometimes annoying to get into a position where you loot an item, I often end up activating a torch or candle instead of looting the item because I'm not exactly in the right position, they could have done that better. But overall an awesome game so far. A word of warning though, there is no way to change the main character's looks or voice so if you don't like Geralt that might put you off buying this game.… Expand

    Even though I'm from Poland, I was always approaching The Witcher series with a distance - I considered the gameplay of the first one lacking, and the second one was a little too limited and short for my taste, but I very much liked it anyway, but not as much as Skyrim for instance.

    And then this one comes, right after I finally got my copy of GTA V, for which I waited a lot. I installed Wild Hunt just to check it out, with intention for it to wait until I'm done with completing at least the plot in Rockstar's newest masterpiece. Yeah, right.

    Witcher 3 is THE most immersive game I've ever played. You can find stuff to annoy you within this game, like a lot of people are trying to, but don't do that to yourself. Just sink in.

    Every second spent in the world, whether it's just sightseeing, exploring question marks, completing wide range of quests or even playing Gwent is filled with extreme joy. World is beautiful (it has its charm even on low/medium settings), plot is interesting, music is incredible.

    But the best thing about this game is that it makes you feel responsible for your actions and decisions. Whatever you do, it has meaning. This is extremely rare in video games sadly, and here it's really, REALLY well executed. I'm amazed.

    Witcher 3 might have its flaws, but at the end of the day, all of those barely matter. We just got epic game, that all future RPG games will be evaluated by. Hats down to CDP Red!    … Expand

    It picks up nicely on the events of the previous two games which gives a feel of consistancy and immersion into the universe. I noticed that CDProjectRed even paid a lot of attetion to detail in 'recontruction' locations which was featured in previous installments of the series. Just one of the many little things that makes the game great.

    Secondary quests are really fun, which is also quite unique. They are not simply all 'go fecth/ go kill" but are driven by interesting stories in their own right and even appears to weave into the main story and other secondary quests. Finally, the use of voice acting and cinematic/cut scenes is superb. You never feel like the developers got lazy and just texted it or made a half finished quest. Everything is kept at the highest quality.

    There are a couple of glitches here and there - graphical oddities and so on. And But the overall quality more than makes up for this.    … Expand

    The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is simply out of this world. I never believed fast battles could be so fun with a keyboard and mouse and that was one of the things I hated about The Witcher 2. This game however, perfected the battle in such a way that it is just fun fun fun. Well, I play on hard and it does take some planning and careful use of oil and signs but as long as you are aware of what you do, you could get away pretty much scratch free. Simply put, you're in charge of putting down monsters the way you want to.

    To add to the beautiful world, the progression system is also very unique. I have fun customising Geralt the way I prefer to play and it there hasn't been any points spent that I regret so far. Equipment is also fun and there's never a must have sword or a clear upgrade. You might stick with a lower damage sword because of the crit chance, or you might prefer to go all out on raw damage. Your witcher, your choice.

    Well, I just about forgot about the side games. You can play if you want or just skip it. It's fun though. Seriously speaking, Gwent could be released as a standalone casual card game and it would do very very well.

    Overall, I salute CDProjektRed for making such a wonderful cross platform game. PC gamers always fear consolitis which ruins some good games. This game, does not suffer in that regard. It's clear that CD Projekt Red optimise their games properly and actually tested it extensively on PC using mouse and keyboard. I can't say about consoles but from the amount of polish I've seen, I believe that it would be a great experience regardless of your platform of choice.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 says no to all of this - it's a great game with a fully realized setting, it's a joy to play, the business model behind it treats its customers like human beings, and it delivers a story that finally hits the tone of the books.
