I read several of the original books series. I enjoyed all of them. The writer transported the reader into the world of Polish, or to a wider degree, Eastern Slavic mythical tales of horror and stories to scare children at night The first book in the series was a scattering of different stories and tales not exactly in sequential order, from what I recall, but enjoyed none the less. I immersed myself in the first game and was happy to find it followed the book mostly on an accurate account with the stores and culture from the written tales, so much so I played it three time over. The second game was also a pleasure for me as it expanded from the first with controls and options. The series is not something I can support. It seems the writers felt as though a modern interpretation through the lenses of today's world was a better tale. It was not. I wish writers would have stuck with the story, ethnicity of Slavs and told what could have been an entertaining series. There are many fairy tales from ethnic cultures all over our world that can and should be told from their ethnic viewpoint without having to shoe-horn in characters who meet a diversity roster like a large corporation just to prove they can have met the diversity and inclusion check box. I would watch any show that could stick to this mentality. That is why I tend to now watch Korean, Russian and Indian films. They don't care about the check boxes, they care about story writing, great acting and keeping the audience entertained without shoving Western left leaning ideologies in our face or sneaking them in the story as if we would not know they are a part of it.
