I finished Blood of the Dawnwalker - great time. Now I'm going back to The Witcher 3. I can clearly see how much The Witcher 3 was used as an inspiration. Great stuff. I enjoyed the fighting but it did get a bit monotonous. The boss fights were super easy though. Like I could beat all these boss […]
