Select one game of your interest and explain why it has a good/bad game UI

One game that I really enjoy is the Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt, When the game first out the game’s UI was not at all bad, but it was not the best the wild hunt had received many updates and patches throughout its life span, but a huge update came about when CD Projekt Red was about to release their final DLC they decided to change the UI. For me a good UI is simple, clean and easy to navigate around they are important to me in game because I do not want to have to spend time learning the way the UI works, that is not the reason why I purchased the game, I purchased the game to play not spend my time in menus, that is why those factors are important to me when it comes to a good user interface, and CD Projekt Red really cleaned up their UI (as seen below) and it made the game much better and you can customise your character to the way that you wanted it to.

They are progressively winding up some portion of our surroundings, out in the open spaces, for example, Airports, car parks, and shopping centres and additionally in the private spaces of our homes and workplaces.

It is typical for individuals to utilize online logbooks to remind them to send a birthday card to a companion and Google data on their portable amid continuous discussions at supper parties. The future has a long way to go, as it will take a long time for humans to fully augment themselves and become an android.
