Review of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021) by Mnecromancer — 29 Aug 2021

The Witcher books and TV show take place in a world in a state of change. The world before it had more magic, more beasts, less science and simpler politics. With the problems of the past solved, the current world has become entrenched in petty squabbles. This new Witcher entry replaces that mythical before-time with a dumb place where Witchers were douchey jocks and politics were even stuffier and stupid than ever. Instead of rigorous study and training, 10 year old witcher initates are thrown into a swamp where only the lucky survive. Whoever stumbles out randomly gets superpowers.

The combat is full of cringey quips and the dialogue is boring throughout.
