Game is overall good. I like the atmosphere, weapon design, level design. The confetti popping when finishing off enemies with headshots. The rock textures in the outside area are a bit dull imho. There is a lot of room for improvement:

- Enemies popping up magically. Ruins the atmosphere. Either let them spawn at doors the player cannot enter (Borderlands style) or let them climb out of air vents in the walls or ceiling, trash cans, With ceiling air vents you could just drop them down in the middle of the room. Enemies spawning with a circle like scotty beamed them down is not so atmospheric.

- Most of the time I was spending popping balloons and pumpkins for tickets. That takes away the focus from the gameplay and the atmosphere overall. Tbh, I would stop the ticket spawn from those assets and try to balance it out by either reducing the prices or increase the ticket amount that can be found around the world and in drawers.

- Upgrade prices a bit low. I had fully upgraded weapons almost all of the time. It does not feel like a success when upgrading them. Maybe this gets better when popping ballons and pumpkins don't spawn tickets anymore.

- Tiny is not commenting when he sees the price. Like, what? A few comments on that Mr. Twister TV's would add value.

Looking forward to the release.

While a lot of people in the negative reviews complain about the unfair enemy AI, the pathfinding, the game being too hard I can just say: I love it! It is just like back then with new graphics, remastered soundtracks, and high quality videos.

The stupid pathfinding can most of the time easily be outmanouvered by micromanging the way the units should go and not sending them half across the map with one click. And it was normal that the AI was cheating back then and I appreciate that they didn't change it. In the campaign, they get one harvester back in and earn like 3000 Credits instead of 700, building 3 tanks and 5 infantary units with one harvester. Deal with it and use your units better (repair station is worth gold).

But that's how you have to adapt and learn how to outsmart the AI (sandbag barriers FTW).

All in all this game really generates nostalgic feelings and is very fun to play and has the charme it had back then, especially with friends in multiplayer. That all the bonus missions from the addons and consoles are included is a nice move too. The settings can be varied between modern and classic style and allows to mix them. (left click to send units/right click to send units, etc)

The bonus content with original material of the making of command and conquer TD gives this a more interesting touch for long-time fans.

I would recommend for everyone who played the original or is looking for a challenge with stupid pathfinding, unfair but still stupid AI (sandbags are their worst enemy).

Like a love letter to the fans.

The fights are even better than in the first game especially when you have fully upgraded the force tree. Some of the bosses or legendary creatures require patience, even the first one can be beaten (I guess I tried like 30 times in a row). Can't wait for part 3!

+ Story
+ Difficulty
+ Not just run and gun, you need to use your skills and blocking with brain
+ You're a Jedi
+ Feels like a mix of Tomb Raider as a Jedi and "easy" Souls-like. On the second highest difficulty the game had it's very depressing moments without becoming unfair but was still a challenge with "normal" enemies.
+ Puzzles were great
+ Sliding passages without those annoying quick time events, instead you often had to jump on the right moment.

- AI is a bit clonky sometimes. If you lure them out of their "area" they will just stand there and won't do anything than let them get killed by you without resistance
- AI will not follow you out of their "area", so if you stand on the edge of that area you can just kill them by attacking them and taking a step back, repeat
- If there are multiple enemies around you and the push you into a corner you are basically stuck, as healing takes 1 - 2 seconds and is interrupted by enemy attacks this can cause very depressing situations were I sometimes wanted to throw the controller away.

If you like south park, you will love this game! Feels like an interactive south park episode. The fighting mechanics are easy to understand and the game in general is fun

An Epic end for an Epic Adventure. Best bet is to start with Witcher 1, go over to witcher 2 and end it all with Witcher 3. You get a detailed overview over the story this way, it's possible to play it on it's own as well, but I think getting along with the characters and their past will be hard.

For the Game itself: Decisions over decisions, you can form the Story by your actions in multiple ways which gives a great worth of replaying the game, New Game+ let's you take your character from the first run to the next one. New decisions -> New story!

An open world with a lots of details and hidden secrets, if you love exploring, you love this! You can choose between exploring the Map on your on or by reading the hints on the blackboards (you will get a ? on the map, but not for all hidden stashes and stuff)

The DLC politics is the first one ever that satisfies me. Big thanks to the developers not to be as greedy as others. When I was young, DLC's were called "Expansion Packs" or "Addon", where you bought a CD full of content for about 10 - 20 euros. Witcher 3's DLC's are REAL Addons, with a huge pack of content (New areas, new story for another 30 hours or somewhat)

An RPG how it should be.
