Another positive opinion (and the Editors' Choice) of the game from a mainstream site. One of the first things mentioned in the review is the lack of a monthly fee; I guess many gamers subconsciously add the "MMO" prefix whenever they hear about an "RPG". While noting some downfalls (like loading times and recurrent NPC models), the review recommends the game because "its refreshing setting, engaging combat and potion system, and long, well-conceived campaign is a recipe for single-player greatness", devoting a paragraph to the now well-known system of choices and delayed consequences. Here's what it says about the inventory:
I agree that the lack of ph4t l3wt is a great decision, but the microscopic inventory icons should be more readable. Anyway, I was a bit astonished by this comment about the graphics:
Now, I'm no FPS junkie but I think I have never seen a game as pretty as this one. I guess mentioning that the game was loosely based on the Aurora Engine was a mistake on CDProjekt Red's part. Even if not all reviewers make a reference to this fact, the false idea that the game has to be visually inferior to the completely modern titles must have stuck with them. That's a conjecture, of course.
