And I fully expect I would love reading the books, too. However, the video games adaptation is supposedly a continuation of the books series. But compared to Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I don’t think the books can match the quality of storytelling and experience from playing the game. I’m not saying the books can’t achieve that from my experience, books (original material) are often superior to their adaptations. As someone who loves the game a LOT, and considering that this is a different medium of storytelling compared to the books, I honestly don’t expect the books (this time) would be able to live up to the satisfaction and escapism I got from playing the games. It’s not until The Last Wish Illustrated Edition published by Orbit Books and Gollancz came out a few months ago that I finally took the plunge to start reading the series. More than six years have passed since I first finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and I’ve wanted to know more about the characters, magic, and world I felt invested in. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains one of the best open-world role-playing games I’ve played, and even though it has been years since I finished the game, I still think about my 100+ hours of adventure with the game. Similar to millions of gamers-now readers-around the world, I heard about The Witcher book series through the video games adaptation. The Last Wish made me feel like I was reading Geralt doing his side quests in the game.
