About

If you want a Witcher prequel with swords-and-sorcery energy and origins, this may work, but Not for you if you prefer slower, clearer storytelling; try Cursed or The Witcher instead.

Pros: epic fantasy premise; occasional enjoyment; decent cast | Cons: rushed and disjointed; shallow characters; weak storytelling
