   One word: Amazing. Can’t imagine being a gamer and not even play this game for couple of minutes. This must be terrifying

   One of the best games I have ever played, it gives a lot of playable hours with so many side-quests. I find this perfect as it can pleaseOne of the best games I have ever played, it gives a lot of playable hours with so many side-quests. I find this perfect as it can please everyone, if you want to play the campaign only because you don't have much time you can do it, if you want to complete the whole game spending a lot of time you can do it too. The DLCs are SO GOOD, and add a lot of content to the game. In con, I have to say that the main character you play as, Geralt, doesn't evolve along the game, you start with 2 swords and 5 spells, and you end with the same, 2 swords and 5 spells.… Expand

   The combat has weight and managing the stamina adds a welcome tactical layer to the experience ; that said the game knows only to challengeThe combat has weight and managing the stamina adds a welcome tactical layer to the experience ; that said the game knows only to challenge you by spawning a stupid amount of enemies. Button mashing is often necessary and interior combat is as bad as it gets, which is a situation the game puts you in often.
   
   The magic signs have their importance but you will be spending most of your time recharging your shield which essentially confines your magic abilities to boosting your armor. The perks, abilities, and weapon upgrades are mechanically useful yet they fail to excite beyond their functionality.
   
   Dialogue wise, the genealogy of answers is quite shallow and deprived of branching - Suffice to experience Deus ex: Human revolution's dialogue system to understand what I mean by that. There is no "Game" to be found in the dialogue mechanics. The characters are inanimate dolls and the choices on offer are nothing more than a bunch of glorified playback buttons.
   
   Exploration wise, I think the game does a descent job in terms of environmental story telling, but nothing that is worth the praises beyond the best the competition has to offer. Shenmue 2 does much more in my opinion and the game came out nearly 20 years ago. The investigative phases are a real joke too, where you are mindlessly following red marks - yet another example of shallow, unaccomplished mechanic.
   
   The pacing is a real problem too ; During the first half of the game (10hrs), the story literally stalls. The game becomes more engaging once you reach the second half, but it feels too little too late. The characters are likable and by the end of the game I did feel some attachment towards some of them. The difficulty is also an issue, where the beginning happens to be much harder than the end; I beat the final bosses on my first attempts while being vastly under-leveled.
   
   The visuals are fairly bland retrospectively ; For instance, I find the sunsets particularly vulgar and over-saturated . The towns also, lack authenticity in their structure and layout, and that is particularly jarring if you compare it to the original Assassin's creed's urban layout, which feel substantially more authentic and researched.
   
   To conclude, I'd say that the disproportionate success and admiration this game has generated, comes from the fascination that the average nerd historically hold toward medieval sword and shields ; It's the "game of thrones" generation that has brought Wild hunt to the pinnacle.
   
   Wild hunt is not a bad game, it's just so far from being this timeless masterpiece… Expand

   I didn't expect to write it, but it's one of the most boring games ever created, I don't represent anything, the bottom and meter of mud.
