Unfortunately, the road bumps it hit had to do with gameplay. Too many shimmy sequences and too few ways to flee from intimate melee encounters bog down the experience, for example, and it is difficult to see where the IP could be headed next....

The Witcheris a series of books by author Andrzej Sapkowski that has spawned games and a hit Netflix show. The show, however, does something rather controversial –at least in the fan base – in its first season. This is the decision to tell the story in three different rather hard-to-explain timelines. The showrunner ofThe Witcher, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, has mentioned that season 2 of the Netflix adaptation will be less confusing now thatthe main characters' timelines have converged....
