The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 18+
Recommended play time: 1.5 - 2 hours a day, no more. This game is long, very long. It needs to be managed.
Oh my, 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' is quite a story! My oldest son (15) wouldn't stop talking about it for months, and I thought to myself, 'Come on, what could possibly be there?' It took me a while to understand, but it turns out it's like a good book, only you can also fight all sorts of monsters along the way. It's a really beautiful game with a deep storyline, but because of the content, I have to tell you, it's for adults, not for my little kids, never.
What is this game
Listen, think of it like a very, very, very long fantasy movie, but you are the hero. There's a white-haired Witcher named Geralt, and he's looking for his adopted daughter, Ciri. Along the way, he fights monsters, does tasks for people (they call these 'quests'), and makes decisions that will affect the entire story. It's an open world, meaning you can go wherever you want, and it's a huge world with many characters and small stories. It's not light like Fortnite; it requires a lot of thought and patience.
