The Blood of Dawnwalker Review - Spoilt For Choice
Comparisons between The Blood of Dawnwalker and The Witcher 3 are inevitable, but it has nothing to fear, even when facing Geralt's best adventure, because Rebel Wolves' game is excellent.

The director of The Witcher 3 is leaving CD Projekt and founding a new studio to create his own major RPG. What could have come of it? The Blood of Dawnwalker will give you almost everything you loved about Wild Hunt… but some virtues are hidden too deeply.
Rebel Wolves has said that they envisage this to be only the first chapter in an ongoing saga and, beyond Coen, a potential legendarium of related stories across a long history. Given the location of the Carpathian Mountains, it could well turn out to be like a western RPG spin on the same broad idea as the Castlevania franchise.
