The Witcher: Blood Origin is what happens when people with an agenda instead of a story to tell are put in charge of a popular IP constructed by far greater minds than their own. The writing feels like it's bad fan fiction written in the Witcher world, the acting is woeful, and almost all of the actors look like they wish they were somewhere else. The effects and sets feel rushed and put together for a middle school stage play. It was borderline impossible to get a sense of the geography of this world because every location and its people all look the same. Different countries could have been played by different ethnicities, but it just felt like the writers had to ensure that every country, city, town, and hamlet was as diverse as possible. Easily the most missable show available. Avoid at all costs. It's not even "good" bad.

I played countless hours of The Division 2. Finished the main story, then during "Invaded" missions, everyone I was playing with stopped. Being in Australia and having garbage internet made playing online so painful that it wasnt worth trying. Solo was good, for a while. There are certain Stronghold and missions that you cannot do with a middling Gear Score or without a team. Exotics are nearly impossible to get making solo runs so very hard. The recent updates take the servers offline and the game will now constantly crash with no error. There are certain events that 'trigger' in game that I have had to do multiple times as the game errors a lot. Even then I have not yet completed most of what I can solo. I have uninstalled this game and any associated Ubisoft game and the UPLAY launcher. I would only recommend this game as a bargain bin, or if they made it playable offline, without PvP.
