    This game is terribly overrated. Uninspired and empty open world with exploration that consists of riding to question marks on the map. Gameplay is janky and combat is a chore. I don't know why everyone went crazy over this game but realized with Cyberpunk how bad CD Projekt is at game design

    This game is too boring. You are gonna sit trough 4-5 minutes of dialogue every few minutes into this game. Combat feels so clunky, there is no likable characters, open world is too big and empty, traversing and fast travel is a pain. the pacing is a joke aswell. and ultimately the main story was too long. Overall, one of the most overrated games in history of video games period.

    Good game. Too bad Geralt movements are so bad. He feels so slow and heavy, like he ate a million burger and everytime he turn left or right, its like he is trying the 45 degrees bending of Michael Jackson. Absolute garbage. If only he moved quick and natural like in Elden ring then Witcher 3 would be a 9/10 easy.
    Hopefully the devs learn how to create proper character movements for Witcher 4..

    Самая переоцененная игра. Её называют РПГ, но тут нет ролевки, вам дадут отыграть только циничного седого качка. Это обычный слешер с диалогами из массэффекта, кучей гринда и гор лута. Есть интересные побочные квесты, но как только выходишь на основной сюжет, можно уснуть.Самая переоцененная игра.

    Second of all it crashes a lot: I don't know why but yeah, I have one hell of a beefy computer. It can run a lot of games on Max graphics. I mean it's the same people that made that glitchy mess.

    Last of all the story: I'm not a fan of it, the intro was confusing. I just don't know what to say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is inexplicably overhyped and overrated. It was hard coming into the witcher 3 without any kind of expectations or not hearing about how great it was from basically every gamer out there. I'm starting to believe not many people actually finished the game, but only started and were afraid to express their true opinion.

    Even though I do not need to back my opinion, I would like to mention that I have played Breath of the Wild, Elden ring, the God of war games, the Uncharted games, Ghost of Tsushima, Grand theft auto V, Civilization VI and others and I absolutely loved them. I also played other titles which I did not love, but were enjoyable or at least had one or two things I liked. Unfortunately, as much as I tried, as many times I picked up The Witcher 3 game, no matter how much time I had invested, I could not find anything that vibed with me. Besides a few of the main character models which are acceptable (appearance, personality and acting) the rest of the NPCs and characters are very annoying, predictable and downright ugly. Mind you, my most recent and longest attempt was with the next gen version. Strangely, it feels like a very old and outdated game. I played until I finished the red baron questline.

    The DX12 version with dlss and raytracing is unplayable for most people other than owners of 3080s, 4080s or above. I opted for the dx11 version which ran better altough had many stuttering issues at any settings (I own a 3060ti with a 5600x).

    The in-game mechanics, menus and combat system are poorly designed, counter-intuitive and confusing. Geralt moves and fights like a disabled person (no offence). The music is just plain repetitive and boring.

    Story wise, everything is just a plain mess. The whole universe and lore do not make any sense (keep in mind I loved Breath of the Wild and other similar games!) and did not draw me in. I did not understand gwent and I firmly avoided it although the game was constantly shoved in my face. The whole game atmosphere had a confusing dark and quirky tone with every character shouting insults or being rude to you. There are no shields, there is no stealth, no crouching, no ranged mechanics (no, the horrible crossbow does not count). Altough the environment is heavily praised for looking very good, unfortunately for me it looked outdated, repetitive, unoriginal and again, sorry, ugly.

    I do not mean to offend the developers of the game, who obviously tried to make something similar to a AAA game, but sadly, in my opinion, only created something resembling an indie game or a copycat mixture of many other more successful games.    … Expand

    Had potential, but is let down by a few things. The deal-breaker for me was the implementation of some less than savoury relationships time and time again, which were so shameless and ham-fisted by the writers that I couldn't reasonably approve of. Questlines are generally samey and boring, consisting of staring at a glowing line on the ground or walking into a sequence of designatedHad potential, but is let down by a few things. The deal-breaker for me was the implementation of some less than savoury relationships time and time again, which were so shameless and ham-fisted by the writers that I couldn't reasonably approve of. Questlines are generally samey and boring, consisting of staring at a glowing line on the ground or walking into a sequence of designated combat areas until the quest resolves itself. Most locations also follow a "formula", which means you're rarely going to discover a new location and find something out of the ordinary, rather than just one of the eight or so categories that new locations tend to fall under (like a monster nest or bandit camp). The characters are developed and intricate, seeing as how they've had a series of novels and games to be constructed, but there's always one or two scenes with them that sort of puts me off them as a whole.

    The graphics are very good for the year it was released, and it's a very polished game mechanically and thematically. Unfortunately, the "minor things" and "nitpicks" eventually build up to become very noticeable, and this means that the experience eventually becomes too cynical for me to enjoy it. The music is okay, but nothing special, with some of the tracks widely regarded as amazing seeming too emotional and movie-like for my tastes.    … Expand

    I was really excited to play this game after enjoying other open-world action-RPG games such as Zelda:BotW and OoT, AC:Origins/Odyssey, God of War (2018), Horizon: Zero Dawn, Batman Arkham games and GTA:V. I waited for the "next-gen version" to release. The game looks gorgeous, and some of the story and character development seems very good (though a bit long-winded for me).

I waited for the "next-gen version" to release. The game looks gorgeous, and some of the story and character development seems very good (though a bit long-winded for me). However, I play games to play them, not to watch them. My main bugbears are: The combat and character movement/interaction with the world is clunky, buggy, and frustrating. The inventory system is overly complicated. There is an overwhelming amount of stuff to do. Sections of the game are gated off by levels (as enemies become too tough to tackle). Ultimately, much to my surprise, I find the game dull and boring, and I am not finding it fun at all. After reading around it seems that many people have the same experience with the same issues flagged. Many of the game mechanics are very similar to in the AC games, but I often felt that they were done better in the AC games, especially the combat, inventory/loot system, and hunting for clues. Then, I hit a bug where I hit a black screen fast travelling between sign posts; a bug that apparently dates back to 2015... I uninstalled and moved on to other games in my backlog. In the future, I will look for action RPGs where the action and gameplay takes a more central role. I found Red Dead Redemption dull for similar reasons. Not for me.… Expand

    3) They will break all the mods that you have installed, and again you can't just choose to turn the "free upgrade" off.
    4) They took the change to also force-feed you their "RedLauncher", yet another annoying software that wasn't on the original game when I bought it.
    5) They broke steam overlay. When I try to open it inside the game it's like it tries to do so (because it produces some kind of "obscuring" over the game), but fails to open it.

    This is more like a "Free upgrade either you like it or not, just gulp it down (or throw the game you bought) because we say so".

    How does a studio put so much money and effort into something and have it come out so wrong? The story and the writing is mostly just fine (generic high fantasy with stupidly limited options during sidequests)
    People drool and clap for this garbage like it's somehow revolutionary but it came out in 2017 and it fails to do things that games in 2002 were capable of.
    It's impossible to know    How does a studio put so much money and effort into something and have it come out so wrong? The story and the writing is mostly just fine (generic high fantasy with stupidly limited options during sidequests)
    People drool and clap for this garbage like it's somehow revolutionary but it came out in 2017 and it fails to do things that games in 2002 were capable of.
    It's impossible to know where to start breaking down how awful the gameplay is so I'll just write a list of bullet points:
    -your horse's pathing is awful even when it's supposed to be automatic
    -the horse has a stamina gauge and I really cannot fathom why, it only comes up during a couple racing sidequests and those are so easy that it's pointless, so this mechanic just gets in the way of regular gameplay simply because there is a badly designed sidequest that it's relevant to
    -draw distance is miserable in some areas
    -npc dialogue is moronic and irrelevant, you will be fighting side by side with people and saving their lives for some pointlessly dull quest and they will shout things like "sorcery! he's a witch"
    -every bad thing that already exists about open world games is basically still present, most quests are shallow and bland, everybody waits for an eternity for you to do things cause you're the only person who can, etc etc etc
    -the basis of the game is that you are a witcher, a person who hunts monsters, and monster hunting contracts are miserably repetitive and uninteresting
    -there's an alchemy system that begs for your inventory to be cluttered, you will never ever remember what ingredients you need cause it's always just some flower or some blood or teeth or whatever stupid thing and it won't be relevant for 5 hours and then you'll need one if you want to craft some semi useful item, this wouldn't be so bad but you have a weight limit and inventory management is terrible in this
    -everything is weirdly dark, even during daytime, I found this unplayable without mods
    -the main character comes across like an idiot cause some moron dev decided that he should constantly be shouting out combat taunts
    -seriously the inventory management is awful, when you're looking at different weapons and armor it doesn't even show you a full stat comparison of what you're looking at and what you're wearing
    -a lot of sidequests have completely unsatisfying conclusions and it feels like it's because there are questions you're just not allowed to ask, like there's some forced stupidity so that no matter what there's something bad that happens. Save the orphans? a village is destroyed. Save the village? orphans are eaten. can you talk to the spirit that's gonna eat orphans and stop it? no. can you talk to the spirit about why it would destroy the village or ask it its motivations? no
    -incredibly convoluted, here is a snippet of what I did early game: I'm sent by a king to get his daughter. someone who has information about that daughter won't give it to me until I help him find his daughter and wife. I have to go ask two other people for help. one of them makes me find his goat before he helps me. then the guy with the information that I need reveals that I have to help him save the soul of his wife's miscarriage. then him and the guy with the goat ask me to go to a swamp. then I meet a little boy who knows another little boy who knows about some witches who want me to kill a creature that lives under a tree in another city. by the end of that paragraph did you remember what I originally set out to do?
    -weapon degradation, not necessarily a bad mechanic but it doesn't even matter in this cause there are so many weapons that are so similar that you just keep picking up so why is weapon degradation in the game? because the devs add terrible things without thinking
    -you gain abilities but you're capped at how many you're allowed to equip, this is like being in a sandbox and someone coming by and saying "no no, you can't use the shovel and the bucket at the same time", this is a terrible mechanic
    -seriously dialogue is terrible sometimes, "you have to find dudu to find dandelion to find ciri"
    "I'm going to go talk to whoreson jr." were two back to back pieces of dialogue, it's like the characters weren't even interacting with each other
    -terrible "detective" mechanic during monster hunts wherein you hold a button that lights up what you're supposed to do so that you don't have to use your brain. it's mind numbingly dull

    it's too bad, I was quite engaged and I wanted to see where the story was going but I just couldn't stomach how godawful this game was at every turn    … Expand

    The main issue for me is that there is no Role-Playing Game, because we have no role, but being the same Witcher. The only real change is how many allies you have in the end. But you can't build-up your own story and character, not even close.

    Also, the team promised to deliver the world, that is believable (quote: if you kill wolves, other animals will replace them in the area).

    Also, the team promised to deliver the world, that is believable (quote: if you kill wolves, other animals will replace them in the area). But these far cry promises aren't in the game, so it feels static and becomes dead, if you trying to complete all quests on the map.

    The fighting system is very innertia-based, so you need to roll and dodge all the time, rather than just hit in proper timings.

    Characters are medieval and very unpleasant, there is no one you can really like, adore or care about, not even close.

Even tho i would actually prefer character creator, so you could actually make yourself cool, likable character.

I have absolutely nothing against female nudity in video games, but if that's your main selling point, then it becomes a problem. It's the exact same reason why Cyberpunk sold over 13 million copies. They said game has naked females and automatically every nerd ever pre-ordered it. It's almost pathetic how easy it is to sell your game. Just put naked females into it and it can be emptiest, most buggy game possible, but it had female nudity and sells over 13 million regardless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent over 100 hours in this game on hardest difficulty. Completing every side quest and all DLC content. And I hated this game .
    First of , just like in many fantasy games , it kind of creates this premise that you(the character that you play, not really you in real life) are special guy whose actions will change the course of the world or how the world perceives you, it doesn't, it wont . You just yet another witcher on a job ... the whole main quest "the princess is in another castle" is just infuriatingly frustrating . You run around like a chicken completing fetch quests to no avail until you complete enough of them to finally find the princess ...
    The combat gets repetitive and stale very fast , in the first couple of hours . Once you find your style - sword , magic or poisons or a mix between and kind of figure out where you want to take your character there isn't much development in that regard at all after level 5-7 , it gets boring quick . Dodge ,slash , use a sign , repeat . . . .

    The Witcher 3 says no to all of this - it's a great game with a fully realized setting, it's a joy to play, the business model behind it treats its customers like human beings, and it delivers a story that finally hits the tone of the books.

    Probably the best open-world RPG ever made, but it still falls prey to some of the genre's worst traps.

    I've made it pretty clear that it's hardly a flawless game, but that doesn't change the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is something pretty bloody special and you should absolutely play it.
