Kinda fun to see someone talk about games to a mainstream mag and not be about Fortnite or COD or FIFA.
On him playing the Witcher
Growing up playing in LAN parties
Henry Cavill would rather be at home right now, without the fame, without the attention, sitting at his gaming PC in shorts and a T-shirt, playing Total War: Warhammer II.
(...)
And he's played it through six times already, accounting for hundreds of hours of gameplay ("With six different races! And I love it each time!"). "There's just something about those games that I find so satisfying," he says. "There's new DLCs coming out all the time and I'm looking forward to whatever the next one is."
On him playing the Witcher
"My first involved experience [with the franchise] was The Witcher 3," he tells me, explaining how he's now played developer CD Projekt Red's 100-hour role-playing epic two-and-a-half times to completion, experimenting with different difficulty settings, first on regular difficulty and then on the game's toughest setting, in order to find the perfect balance of fun and challenge.
Growing up playing in LAN parties
Warhammer and The Witcher aren't his only big gaming passions. He reminisces fondly about playing games with his brothers, cramped around his mother's dining room table in makeshift LAN parties. He grew up on games such as Delta Force and Half Life. In the former, his brothers toyed with one another endlessly.
