    Uno de los juegos de esta generación, la historia principal, las secundarias, hechas con cariño y bien pensadas, demostrando que el juego se mueve entre grises, nunca hay una decisión que sea perfecta, todo tiene sus consecuencias.

    The first 10/10 I have EVER given as this engagement, this commitment to the gamer and the game, to the story and the world, by the developer and makers just has to be commended and honoured. This Game was...IS, just THE BEST game I have played since at the time elder scrolls oblivion, which was a blast and NEVER before was a world so immersive like Oblivion, at release and after thereThe first 10/10 I have EVER given as this engagement, this commitment to the gamer and the game, to the story and the world, by the developer and makers just has to be commended and honoured. This Game was...IS, just THE BEST game I have played since at the time elder scrolls oblivion, which was a blast and NEVER before was a world so immersive like Oblivion, at release and after there where of cause bugs and so on, THIS is something the Witcher 3 is far less affected by which is a great + on my scale.

    this incredible feeling of immersion it was I reencountered within the Witcher 3. It was a blast, of cause it is a Game that means there are things that are just not possible yet or that are bound to code possibilities and at times it breaks the immersion. BUT never did it do this irreparably and ALWAYS for mere seconds, immediately followed by the next hand reaching out for you from the Monitor to draw you back in XD: (Figuratively of cause yet with the same force.)

    I had no problem with the combat system as others critiqued on a very high level of nitpicking, as of cause a system like Dragons Dogma would make it even MORE epic. Yet the fight is INTENSE on every difficulty but even more the higher it gets just like you want it to be. You need to make use of EVERYTHING you have and thats A LOT! the cinematics are GREAT near PERFECT and the story is as high stakes as it gets in a universe like this the Characters are loveable and the drama unfolding really gets you.

    But the MOST crucial point of cause is...your decision...does it impact? or is it Mass Effect 4, Fallout 4 like? where no matter what answer you choose the same outcome is scripted from the beginning?NO, your actions have HUGE impact often outright deciding over life and death of even MAIN story character. Depending on your choices actions will get set in motion that have personal- social- nation- AND WORLD/-WIDE effects.

    There are multiple endings depending on your choices, that are played out, not simply Pictured, but a mix of both, depending on world decisions and personals. There are so many things to talk about that are great that I could literally go on FOR BOOKS!

    But the afterwards released 2 DLC's That together make A WHOLE SECOND GAME in the SAME QUALITY and a new part of the world, makes my rating the first 10/10 I have given as this engagement, this commitment to the gamer and the game, to the story and the world, by the developer and makers just has to be commended and honored. Since every second of gameplay screams ,,WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THE BEST!"...and so do I. We as the gaming community should in every possible way support, this very lonesome attitude (!!!!), in the gaming world of paywalls and timers, freemium and 1000's of $ for games not worth 1/1000 of the Witcher 3! IT IS IMPOSSIBLY GREAT and you should BUY IT multiple times even if you can for you and your friends just to support the developer. Look what emotion even the review triggered in me. Incredible.    … Expand

    I'm probably going to be hated on for comparing this game to Dragon Age Inquisition even though after playing both of these games there both similar. The only difference is that Witcher 3 handles side quests better while Dragon age Inquisition handles it's main story better.

    The not so goods: the combat is pretty straight forward dodge, counter, attack. Signs seem pretty useless, countering and dodging is way more important on higher difficulty than using spells (signs) and there isnt a way to play "wizard" Geralt. Melee builds are way superior to other builds. You don't ever get the feeling of being a powerful unstoppable witcher, because the combat feels very basic and progressing just makes you hit harder but doesnt really make you feel more powerful.    … Expand

The many characters you meet throughout the main story are all interesting, with their own backstories, personalities, motivations and so on. The dialogue choices leads to many different outcomes, just like in other good RPGs. The story is very long with an average length of 50 hours, but it doesn't feel slow paced at any point, and remains interesting all the way through.

    The big open world of The Witcher 3 is very beautiful, with a big diversity in areas, and travelling the world is very satisfying. The many side quests which you will encounter are often as good as the main quests, something you rarily see in a game.

    In terms of gameplay, there's many options. The combat system offers many different ways to tackle the fights against enemies, however, there's just something about the combat that feels a bit unsatisfying. I also encountered a glitch were I couldn't attack, which was quite irritating, but luckily, it only happened rarily. The horse riding also feels a bit bad, and the movement of Geralt can sometimes feel a bit weird, but you'll get used to it. The game also includes the options to play the card game Gwent against some of the many NPCs. I personally found Gwent to be very fun, and often spent a lot of time just travelling from town to town, looking for new cards and opponents.

    Even though The Witcher 3 has some flaws, it's story and world is so fantastic that the game deserves nothing below a 9/10.    … Expand

I love that story is more important for developers than showing minorities, like other developers do.
    I love the world of the game, I love music, I love atmosphere, I love ethnic traditions, I love Gwent. DLC in this game is bigger and better than some games. This is the best thing I ever played. 300+ hours and I continue to play it. SO many quests and secrets that are not just to fill the world like in Assassin's Creed, but they really important. They are linked with main game, they have background.

Хорошая альтернатива книгам, потому что всё это содержится внутри одной игры. Некоторые баги, по сей день существуют в игре, которые "мягко" сказать раздражают, хотелось бы видеть больше свободы, для такой игры. Но все же, это лучшая RPG после (The Witcher 1) да-да, олды здесь. CD Projekt RED, спасибо большое, за отлично проведенное время!… Expand

    Meaningful dialogue and quest choices, authentic/realistic medieval armor, weapon design, and architecture. A rough and dirty atmosphere with a lot of swearing, violence, and sex. A very adult take on the RPG-genre that is very refreshing and enjoyable. Since the game is already a few years old, it is also not that demanding on your hardware.

    I only find minor things annoying, like the fact that there are 300+ different common crafting components that clutter your inventory, (it could have been a bit simpler) and a few other things, but I won't go too much into detail. The positive aspects far outweigh the drawbacks.

    If you played and enjoyed games like the Gothic series, you will very much like this game. It takes a while to take off but after 10 hours you will be hooked.    … Expand

    There are very few games that have the ability to capture a player's heart and soul quite like Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. As a yearly ritual, I find myself compelled to return to this enchanting world, and with each playthrough, my admiration for this work of art only grows.

    The most captivating aspect of Witcher 3 is undoubtedly its story. The narrative is rich and engaging, weaving a complex tapestry of characters and plotlines that keep you enthralled throughout the game. The attention to detail in every quest is simply astonishing, and the depth of emotion conveyed by each character is unmatched. The game effortlessly delves into themes of love, loss, and redemption, resulting in a story that resonates deeply with its players.

    However, a great story alone does not make a game outstanding. Witcher 3's gameplay is meticulously crafted to complement the narrative, offering an experience that is tailor-made for THE Witcher. Every aspect of the gameplay loop and character development is designed to immerse you in the world that the developers have so painstakingly created, making it impossible not to become fully invested in Geralt's journey.

    The combat, exploration, and RPG elements are all seamlessly integrated, allowing players to experience the game in a way that feels entirely authentic. Each element of the gameplay, from the potion brewing and monster hunting to the choices you make in dialogues, is carefully aligned with the lore and the story that the game is trying to tell. This level of commitment to immersion is what sets Witcher 3 apart from other games in the genre.

    From the hauntingly beautiful opening scene in White Orchard to the poignant moments shared with Yennefer in Corvo Bianco, Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is a game that I will continue to play and cherish year after year. It is a true testament to the power of storytelling in gaming and a shining example of what can be achieved when developers pour their heart and soul into a project. If you have not yet experienced this masterpiece, I cannot recommend it highly enough.    … Expand

    It would surprise no one to tell you the witcher 3 is a masterpiece it is definitely among the greatest games of all time at the very least for me personally. even as far to go to say that the witcher 3 is game of the decade and id have to agree

    Story: picking up after a wee bit of a time skip after the second game , geralt searches for his long lost lover yenifer. when he finds her    It would surprise no one to tell you the witcher 3 is a masterpiece it is definitely among the greatest games of all time at the very least for me personally. even as far to go to say that the witcher 3 is game of the decade and id have to agree

    Story: picking up after a wee bit of a time skip after the second game , geralt searches for his long lost lover yenifer. when he finds her she tells him their adoptive daughter and biological daughter to the ruler of nilfgaard has reappeared after being missing for years and there begins a grand saga of a hero's journey. the only difference is you play as the mentor to the hero and you are just trying to survive till the end of the movie. the story has a lot of variation based entirely on your choices witch i love because it's always complex , you never know if your decision will get some one killed or not because you just don't know , it's a ripple effect on the story and you won't know until you see the ripples , who geralt falls in love with , what are his priorities, how dose he wear his hair , all of this is the players choice but how geralt feels at any given time is up to geralt but somehow they melded how geralt feels and what the player does really well
    Story: 10/10

    World building: what made me want to play the witcher was the tv show and id say the tv show is good , henry cavil went all out in his portrayal of geralt . a few miscasts aside its a good show , but not great. its world building is the weakest part of the show as im sure it will get better with time as more seasons are made , The witcher 3 however made me understand geralt so well , who he is , and what his place in the world is geralt has a job , he has friends ,colleagues , deals with the government and even his own family or at least who he considers family. everyone has a place in the world, the witchers a dying breed of monster slayers. mages immortalized and beautified by magic all in search of new power. ciri the child of a human elf mix breed with special powers. but also the little things and the landscapes make up this huge vast and beautiful world to explore
    Worldbuilding: 10/10

    Graphics: after 180 hours i never got tired of looking at this game , its all screen shot worthy , landscapes and shrubbery is beautiful. its characters are beautiful even their flaws and imperfections are beautiful. what call of duty dose for guns , that fit in your hand level of detail that makes you vividly imagine holding it yourself. the witcher 3 dose that with locations every small wooden bridge over a stream brought me back to a place when i was kid exploring a forest by my grandparents cottage. how ever after 180 hours , some of the reused character models just with different cloths did get old same with some of the animations especially for the side quests. but that is me being very nitpicky
    Graphics: 9.8/10

    Gameplay: video games are at their best when the gameplay tells a story as well as the story. every fight , every hunt, every boss battle is a story , and it all feels so seamless sure there are cut scenes and cuts but there is usually reason for them. but going from side quest to story to stumbling across a bandit camp and getting attacked all feels coherent and unified it feels like its geralt's life. in the game industry there is the innovators , the copiers and the learners. copiers occasionally make a good game , innovators take risks to make a good game , but learners always make good games. cd projeckt red is such a dev team. where witcher 2 plays more like a darksouls where the witcher 3 plays more like the batman arkham games combat has a flow and a beat to it that just works for the witcher as a franchise mix that with a pretty good inventory and rpg elements this game is just great to play
    Gameplay: 10/10

    Sound design: every little detail was scrutinised over in this game, the sword clangs the arrows what bandits and enemies say and the music, some of the most beautiful battle music is in this game and i loved it even if it does get very repetitive as its always the same song and same gospel woman going HUAHHHHH but at least its a good song. the voice acting is probably the weakest part of the game how ever in any other game id say its amazing. geralt is played perfectly and with all the branching story lines and choices id say that was no easy task, i will have to call out triss voice actress as in every game she has felt awkward and wooden but with each game she improves witch cd could have easily re cast her but im glad they did not because they believe in her and that's just good to do . but having geralt say " what now you piece of filth" a million times was aggravating
    Sound design: 9/10

    10+10+9.8+10+9= 48.8
    48.8/5= 9.76/10

The screenplay is as well written as the voice acting is done. The game is able to pull you into its world seamlessly, and it is a chore to get back to your daily routine.
    There are, however, a few things that would be better done in some other way in my opinion.
    First thing: the characters you encounter throughout the game, if they aren't main characters, they all look alike. This kind of breaks immersion when I accept two very distinct quests from the same old guy...
    Some other details:
    controls feel kind of clunky and unresponsive a lot of times. This was half addressed in an update which makes you choose between two distinct kind of controls, but they still can be better;
    the beginning of the game falls a bit flat, I remember distinctly not having as much fun as I had later in early stages.

    Nevertheless, this game is a masterpiece. It's kind of scary to think that a studio of finite dimensions can produce something this deep and large.    … Expand

    The gameplay is nice, and I'd say that you have to think before you hunt down certain monsters. The harder the difficulty, how more important the preparations. It's a pity that the 3rd person combat feels a bit wonky at times.

    The storyline makes the game well worth it but the open world and multiple maps along with the detailed world and missions make it a 10.The detail that CDPR put into this is astonishing and the characters and in and out of the main story feel like real people and the quests aren’t just “go kill this” they often have multiple endings and you have to make tough descisons.the combat is a bitThe storyline makes the game well worth it but the open world and multiple maps along with the detailed world and missions make it a 10.The detail that CDPR put into this is astonishing and the characters and in and out of the main story feel like real people and the quests aren’t just “go kill this” they often have multiple endings and you have to make tough descisons.the combat is a bit finicky but it’s bearable and is a small complaint that’s washed out by the ocean of praise I have for this game.… Expand
