The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
is many things to many people. I’d describe it as sprawling, magnificent, and frequently baffling – particularly to newer players. So I thought I’d help lessen the load for those still at the beginning of their monster-hunting journey with these 12 Witcher 3 tips for beginners!
I almost forgot how much everyone raved about The Witcher 2. RPS founder-turned-fugitive Jim Rossignol said in his The Witcher 2 review that “This is one of the most significant games of 2011.

It’s a series that has since become a juggernat, helped made a billionaire, and even overcome the traditionally murderous adaptation to film media.

Matt was being negative, I figured, and I’d show him the error of his ways with my happy-go-lucky, anything-goes, good times attitude. I’d breeze onto the Steam store, have a browse of what points-purchasable things were on offer, and do a quickie piece highlighting some of the most chuckleworthy.
Well, turns out Matt was right, and I was not.
Down it, down it, dowwwn it, yeeaahhh! Nice one, you skulled that pint of fizzy water and lemon like an absolute legend, mate, well done. I always knew you were a top enjoyer of a wild night on the tiles, on the rip, on the slosh, on the tear, on the floor, on the bathroom floor, no listen you’re on the bathroom floor mate, for real, get up.

Still, this latest offer from GOG might make you rethink, as from now until June 23rd, they’re giving away free GOG copies of the game to anybody who’s bought it on other platforms, such as Steam, Epic Games Store and Origin – even PS4 and Xbox One copies are eligible. Best of all, your save file and achievements will transfer over, too.
