« worst game that I have ever had the misfortune of playing. This so called witcher doesnt know that you have to burn the skeleton to get rid of the ghost. Even I know that and my only experience with ghosts was watching supernatural »

« Bought a couple of years ago and have been trying to launch every 6 or so months. Still doesn't work. I recommend everyone not to buy this. No one has any intention of fixing the launching issue. »
