Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review and Gameplay
The epic conclusion to The Witcher trilogy


Difficulty

See that ominous red skull? It means "Run for your life!"

Difficulty is an important issue in games today. Some games are too easy, some are too hard and some make no sense. Yet, there is a treasure that comes every so often, such as Witcher 3, that manages to strike a perfect balance.

You get 4 difficulty options and they are what they say they are. If you want to play simply for the story and not worry about dying, then the first option is for you. If you're a fan of the Dark Souls series, you may prefer the final option. I consider myself an average player (that, and I don't have the time for mastering a game anymore) so I went with the second option. 

I was worried it may get too easy. It doesn't, not really. It's tough enough that I have to use alchemy and signs along with sword combat to overcome a fight. Yet, it's not so hard that I have to dodge perfectly to survive. At the same time, I've yet to encounter a difficulty spike. Certain areas can get difficult, but hey, you should improve your playing too right?
