It doesn’t happen often.
But every now and then…

Previews also praise the game’s mature writing, meaningful choices and freedom of exploration.
Rather than filling the map with repetitive activities, The Blood of Dawnwalker focuses on handcrafted quests where every conversation and every decision can have lasting consequences.
That’s one of the reasons many critics immediately compared it to The Witcher 3.
