    It is hands down Game Of The Year! The game offers great story, though it has many repetitive quests. The combat feels great and has a lot of viariety, steel and silver swords, fast and strong attacks, crossbow, bombs, spells, amnd potions. The loot is great and that is the resean that you will want to play the game after the main story.

    Sobre la jugabilidad es buena. Te aconsejo jugar el juego en la máxima dificultad para hacerlo más desafiante y así tengas que prepararte antes de pelear. Por ejemplo aplicando aceites para espada, bebiendo pociones, leyendo sobre las debilidades del enemigo, etc.. De esta forma explotarás todos estos aspectos que tiene el juego para las batallas.
    El rendimiento es fluido, si tienes una buena computadora no tendrás problemas.
    Sobre el mundo enorme. Hay punto de interés a lo largo de todos los mapas. Si quieres completar el juego de forma detallada y con la dificultad máxima, te das el tiempo de leer todas las entradas y te gusta jugar gwynt, tienes para mínimo, pero mínimo 200 horas (sin considerar las expansiones).
    Conclusión: Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida (por no decir que es el mejor).    … Expand

    An excellent adventure that concludes the Witcher trilogy. The game does a fine job of melding story and character development as one.

On top of the strong character building, the game nails world building. The occasional sidequest foreshadows future events, but even standalone quests feel like their own mini stories. The sense of place of this game is secondary only to the likes of Bethesda RPG titles. All that being said, the game is far from flawless. The tightly focused linear narrative in Witcher 2 is not present in the Witcher 3 due to the intrinsic properties of an open world experience. For me, I got overwhelmed with the amount of content in the game. The gameplay overall is much easier to approach than the first two games, but responsiveness is very wonky. Despite these minor setbacks I think the game is one of the finer games in the RPG genre as well as the open world one. 9/10… Expand

    This is simply the best RPG made to date. Over 3000 positive reviews, I can't think of anything that hasn't already been said hundreds of times. As a fan of the original cyberpunk RPG, I just can't wait to see what CD Projekt red do with it.

    Absolutely epic game with gripping game play, great scenario, brilliant soundtrack, eye-catching scenes and stunning graphics. There are a few bugs, but none of them affects the game play enough to change the score. The combination of open world with a leading story came out surprisingly well. Each and every RPG fan has to play that game.

    The crafting and alchemy system (and inventory) is tedisome and largely pointless. Potions can be very useful, but you only have to make each one once, after that, you no longer need hundreds of gathered ingredients. Same in crafting: The only thing you want to craft is the one set of witcher gear you like.

    And finally, the ending ... do yourself a favor and read a guide, when handling Ciri, otherwise you are likely in for a disappointment after ~200 hours of playtime. This they badly screwed up, giving very minor decisions an incomprehensible nasty impact. Maybe to force you into a new game+?

    Baseline, if you can relate to the universe in any way, play this! It has a lot more quantity, and a little less quality then the previous installations. Maybe wait a bit for the final bug fixing, and some good game play altering mods, which are already popping up.    … Expand

    Witcher 3 is the best RPG I ever played with Zelda : The Wind Waker. The atmosphere of the game is mindblowing, thanks to its incredibly beautiful soundtracks and graphics. Even though the game can be, strictly in terms of gameplay, slightly repetitive, it didn't bother me as I was totally sucked into the stories of this amazing, fantastic world.

    The Witcher3 is a pretty good open-world game. The graphic and the world-building is gorgeous. The combat system is solid, nothing outstanding but it does it's job. The potion system gives it a little bit of edge.

The game could have done better without them, it would also add more to the mystery. The thing that kept me going were the side quests to be honest. They are quite well written and seemed to have more urgency than the main quest.
    It's a bit of a bummer that sometimes the quest schedule can be confusing because there's lack of additional information. Certain quests have to be paused because you didn't level up yet, so at some point you will be juggling with a lot of unfinished quests that you have to jump back and forth. And some you can't even return to, because they have a time limit.

    The game certainly kept me entertained for one and a half months, but after I finished all the side quests it started to lose interest in the main quest completely. But the game is well worth it's money.    … Expand

The story has its highs and lows with some parts being really interesting and some parts really boring. The length was a bit too long. The huge world felt really alive and was really beautiful. It's actually so big, in some parts there is nothing to do but to explore the nature. The gameplay however, was a unsatisfying. The combat is solid and rewarding but controlling Geralt himself was sometimes really painful. The game is not designed to be played with mouse and keyboard, despite the fact that The first game was a PC exclusive. Overall, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is a satisfying experience and should be a role model for the future titles in the genre. It makes you feel acknowledged and involved.

    As for the good? Literally everything else. Graphically it's fantastic and holds up four and a half years on, runs good too. The voice acting is top notch. The story writing is without a doubt some of the finest in a video game in recent memory, with several plots (The Bloody Baron, Hearts of Stone, etc) standing out as some of the best video game writing I've experienced in many years. The game comes packed to the gills with an incredible wealth of content, it would take a good 120 - 130 hours at my estimation to have done everything (counting the games expansion packs of course). No microtransactions, no loot boxes, no tacked on multiplayer, no always online, absolutely no **** - just 2 expansion packs which are arguably worth vastly more than their ticket price, especially Blood and Wine which expands upon and adds so much you might as well be playing The Witcher 4.

    Now, the game can take a while to get moving. It's a slow burn that can start off feeling tedious at first, but keep with it and it will reward your time immensely. Oh, and do get the Game of the Year version or the expansion passes - they're worth every cent and maybe even more. Hearts of Stone introduces new content and mechanics in the Velen region as well as a 10 hour story which is one the best in the game. Blood and Wine is more like 30 hours, give you a large new area which also happens to be arguably the best and prettiest area in the game, expands upon the gameplay and mechanics considerably and has a great plot to boot.

    My final rating would be 9.5, but we'll round it up to 10 for the sake of Metacritic. A genre defining must play of the highest order. Emphatically recommended.    … Expand

    I really like the lore and mechanics. Geralt, as others have said, handles like a tank but you get used to it and after awhile you can get pretty good at dodging, parrying, and fighting with a solid mix of spells, bombs, and hacking away.

    I really can't find any fault with the game except one. Ciri. The parts where I'm forced to play as Ciri are excruciating... I'm not a CGI guy and don't know how tough cutscenes are but I really wish they'd just tell me her story through cutscenes instead of making me do these tedious asides with her. At one point I spent a solid 25 minutes trying to climb a tower to save a side character. Absolutely hate it.

    Otherwise it mixes up pretty cool monsters and I like that there are places where I can run into one type of beast I can handle easy and on top of a nearby hill will be another monster that's 10-20 levels too high for me. Even monsters that are way out of your league can be killed if you're very careful and do everything just right (though it'll take awhile).

    Overall, I'm enjoying the hell out of it and I think anyone who is a fan of dark RPG's would too. I played the first two and wasn't blown away. This one is by far their best effort. Hats off guys. (Except for the Ciri sides. My God...)    … Expand

First and most important, loot everything. In this game you can pretty much breakdown anything into materials which are all useful for different things. The hardest thing to determine with your inventory is, what can you sell and what should you keep. You'll want to mix a good amount of items that will be sold for money and what should be kept. You can figure this out simply by knowing what kind of build you want. This game offers some interesting customization for different builds. There's light armor and fast attacks with conventional weapons, medium armor mixing fast and strong attacks or heavy armor and heavy weapons. Signs and potions can be added to any type of build. Although I highly recommend picking two things and going with that. Don't distribute your points so widely when first starting out in the game. The game gets very difficult all on it's own, a bad build will only make that worse. Every build (unless you're trying to challenge yourself) will use weapons and physical attacks. Build up attack damage either max out fast attacks or strong attacks, pick what kind of armor you want and upgrade the armor skill ability then around level 6 you can branch to either Signs or potions while continuing to add to weapon damage.

    Once you figure that out you'll have a good idea of what items you can sell. I don't use potions so much so I sell a lot of the ingredients. Although it's a good idea to have the basic potions. Search everywhere, if you're walking or riding you should be holding that instinct button nearly the entire time. It's very easy to miss things, that hallway which branches off you're thinking about skipping will have something good in it... I can promise you it will. I found easily the best early weapon in a game by going down a dead end branching path during the Magic Lamp mission.

    Points of Power are places that will buff your Signs but the first time you activate them you'll get a skill point. Explore as much as you can so you can find these places, rarely should you take a main trail. Always go off the beaten path. Never run into a fight without being prepared, save often (duh) and read all the books/notes you find. The lore in this game is not only interesting but it will add important back stories to certain things you encounter. You may find some knowledge within a book that will help you kill certain enemies faster. Try to avoid buying weapons and gear, you can easily find better stuff for free by doing some searching. Keep the money for important rare items you'll need to either craft weapons/armors. It's easy to not get that super rare drop of that important material you need, so shops can help there. The best weapons and armor will come from treasure hunts and crafting. So avoid buying their extremely overpriced mediocre gear.

    Explore all dialog options and don't always go with the first option you get. Without spoilers I'll just try to explain, if there's somewhere you need to go and there's a thing you need to get there, it's possible to get a few different options on how to acquire it, don't always go to the easiest option. You may come across a situation that you can either end now and be over with it and your quest will be completed, or if you're willing to do a few extra missions to come to a better conclusion you may end up being awarded something you'd terribly miss out on by rushing it. Terribly... miss.... okay you get the point.

    Combat is very reliant on quick movements. Even with heavy armor and a protection spell you aren't going to be able to mash the attack button while being hit. Rolling and dodging are very very important to staying alive. Figuring out an enemy's attacks can be a bit difficult because the combat AI in this game is very intricate. So make sure you learn when the best time to roll is and when the best time to attack, it's easy to miss your opportunity on an attack. Parrying is also a great defensive and offensive move but you can't parry certain types of enemies, rolling always works but rolling can also make you miss a perfectly good opening to hit.

    I personally recommend building Signs over potions, but that's just me. After seeing what Quen can do when it's leveled up all the way is just OP. It protects you from attacks of course but it can also heal you, knock down enemies by exploding when it breaks, return damage to an enemy and takes multiple hits to break... and that's just one Sign.

    There's my review... go buy it.    … Expand

Transition toI loved previous 2 Witcher games (still considering The Witcher 1 to be one of the best RPG's of all time), to prepare for this 100%, I even read all 8 books, falling in love with Witcher universe even more and now after my 2 months long journey through this I'm finally happy to say that The Witcher 3 didn't disappoint and delivered the goods on basically every level. Transition to open-world went really well and even though there are some minor problems, Wild Hunt is an excellent RPG and a fantastic closure for this epic trilogy.

    Despite all the internet drama around the visual downgrade, the visuals are absolutely beautiful, probably the best looking open-world game to date and what's even better, it surprisingly runs smoothly even on high details on my older rig. I was worried about optimization, but CDPR did a great job here. Beautiful environments, vast landscapes, but still very detailed, light and weather changes, those sunsets man...

    Controls and UI has been significantly improved from the terrible consolized Witcher 2, fighting mechanics feel much more fluid and even though it's still not Dark Souls level, it comes very close and it's perfectly fine. I played on hardest Death March difficulty and for the most part the element of challenge was pretty solid throughout the game.

    The most important thing about RPGs - writing, quests, characters, it's all excellent, even little side-quest activities often provide really interesting stories, there are tons of references to previous games, to books and even to our pop-culture. I caught a glimpse of so many, Fallout, Madonna, David Lynch, Prodigy, Fight Club.. just to name a few. Characters feel really alive, with face expressions and great voice acting, even though many of those faces and voices are repeated quite a lot.

    As for the mini-games - I was a huge fan of dice poker from previous games, especially TW1 version and I didn't like Gwent as much at first, but once i got around it a bit and gathered good enough cards for my deck, it really started to grow on me and now I consider it to be probably the best mini-game ever in RPG.

    Now to my problems with this game and why i don't give it a full score (even though it was very close). First, CDPR obviously felt the need to to fill this world with question marks, if every question mark was actually worth visiting, containing interesting quest, or something unique it would be great, but most of these are some random chests filled with junk, monster nests, abandoned sites and so on, where you repeat the same activity all over again countless times. Abandoned sites for example makes you clear the area from monsters/bandits/whatever just to get the 1:1 same result animation every single time, if it was there once or twice, ok, but there are like 50 of those. The same goes for all those marked chests and smuglers caches, I spent entire weekend just sailing the seas around Skellige clearing all those chests and selling all that junk afterwards, not fun at all, I know you can skip these and you can just go for the main quest, but the completionist in me just must do 100% everything the game has to offer and this felt like an artificial way how to prolong the game length, because in the end you spend almost as much time doing all this busy work as you do with regular quests. Quantity not always means quality and quality is always more important.

    Another gripe was with bugs and glitches, after first starting the game on release day and realizing I can't even finish one of the first quests because of the bug and seeing all those extensive patch notes with each incoming patch, I just had to wait a few months to even start playing to enjoy the game 100%. All this patching and bug fixing should have happened before the release not after. Even now half a year later there are /still quests in my log that cannot be completed, objects often become inactive so the only solution is to restart or reload the game and so on, but all considered, the experience was relatively problem-free.

    Fantastic open world game. Great story, plenty of exploring and side missions too.
    My only gripe is that there's so much to do and explore you wind up leveling up a little faster than they seem to have expected... so new side missions can be too easy.

Everything is marked on the map and besides of the marks there is nothing to find in the world.

    The visuals are amazing, voiceacting on point, production even in sidequest from times to times breathtaking, satisfying combat tho its too easy (lack of stamina), The character develoment is minimal and boring, tho the pick perk tree with 12 slots could be a start for a good one. The perks itself are boring element and other systems build around it are missing completely.
    The mainstory is visualized very well, characters are great and it gives a good pace to "explore" the world. Tho its good it isnt outstanding as it is praised so often. It doesnt expands the story of the books and even adds less to it. Key elements are missing (in regards of the elderblood and the wild hunt, as well as the iceage). The antagonist is the worst of the entire franchise. Hes underrepresented.

    This sounds a lot more negative than 9 doesnt it? For me its barley a 9 (i would give it anything between 88 - 90). The quest quality is amazing. There are so many quest which are staged so well, with interessting small or bigger stories. Everything has a narrative. The world is maybe just the set of the game but damn it is looks great. Dialogues look like cutsence. The game has a lot to offer but it fails at being openworld and using this feature.

    Is it better than Skyrim? Dont even compare. Witcher 3 is a story based rpg which uses its opw as a beautiful set, skyrim is build around an opw. Skyrim for sure is the much better opw game and which for sure has the much better narrative.    … Expand

    RPGs are typically divided between two areas - Questing and exploration. Just like its predecessors, questing is the Witcher 3's strong-suit. Every quest in the game has a story worth experiencing - and they are stories that you have some level of control over. A seemingly minor decision can have huge consequences, and it's those consequences coupled with the moral ambiguity that the Witcher is known for that makes questing a joy; they also add to the games replayability. Exploration is interesting as well, and is often necessary as the loot that you can acquire is crucial to keeping an edge on your enemies.

    The combat in the Witcher 3 is strong as well. Animations are fluid, landing hits is satisfying, and the game does a good job of giving the player several ways to approach combat, which further adds to the games replayability.

    The Witcher 3 does have a handful of minor issues though. My game has crashed 5 times so far and I don't seem to be the only one affected by this. The games' stability could certainly be improved. I've also experienced some minor texture pop-ins in cut-scenes that can be quite distracting (Both of these issues could just be my computer but, like I mentioned, I don't seem to be the only one complaining about it and I took the time to optimize the game to fit my computers hardware so the problem is likely not on my end). Lastly, the game suffers from consoleitis - an infection that has plagued many PC games recently. The game lacks some basic customization options (being an FOV slider and the fact that some keys cannot be remapped) and I actually find the game to be more comfortable on my Xbox One controller than on a mouse and keyboard. Another console-related issue is the fact that there was a graphics downgrade so that the consoles could keep up. I have no qualms with the graphics though - the game looks beautiful and I'm able to maintain 60 fps and sometimes higher on a $700 PC. The game is very well optimized.

    Verdict: If you like RPGs, then you''ll love the Witcher 3. Buy it if you're on the fence. Definitely a GOTY contender.    … Expand

The Wicher 3 unlike what most sites say is not the Skyrim killer, and personally I vastly prefer the Witcher 3, or even Witcher 2 to Skyrim. Skyrim will always hold a special place in this market of open world RPGs, with it's masterful illusion of choice and complexity. Witcher 3 may not be as great of a thrill-ride as Skyrim, but the amount of depth it contains, certainly far exceeds it. (At least to me)

    I believe that what makes this game so special is the quests. Basic mechanics are pretty simple: you can fight enemies, investigate the area using the witcher senses and talk to the NPC's, but the execution and the story of these quests are what makes them so special. Almost every quest in the game has its own story with a twist, a moral choice, a reward and sometimes with the consequences at some point of the game. Did you free a poor unlucky man that was captured by some nilfgaardian guards? Too bad he turned out to be a thief and a murderer and you can find his victims later in the game. Shame.
    But the quests are not the only activities in this world. There are contracts (boss fights that requires you to learn what tactics are effective against which monster), super addictive card mini-game called Gwent and many more (some generic treasure hunting and bandit camps are also here).
    The combat system is deep and satisfying. Especially on higher difficulty settings.
    And the main story is just great. It is touching and engaging (especially for someone who read the books).

    This game is an excellent example of what consists of a well made RPG. In contrast to ubisoft rpg's, such as assassin's creed and the division, The Witcher 3 isn't simply a large fantasy world filled with generic, copy & pasted quests/missions, nor mindless combat mechanics.

    The vast majority of quests involve (highly) creative plots, in-depth characters and meaningful choices. The combat is engaging and offers a diverse array of defensive/offensive tools to use. Bombs, crossbows, swords, maces, axes, potions, sword oils and signs. The signs are basically like jedi powers, (similar to mass effect abilities as well), that you can use to help you in fights. There's a parry mechanic when fighting other swordsman, but the dodge and roll mechanic is what really gives you the freedom to position yourself better. And unlike AC, enemies don't attack you one by one. They come at you all at once and while it can be frustrating at first, it becomes a rewarding challenge. There's of course a complex skill tree as well.

    My only main beef is the way the main character and his horse interact with objects and terrain. For lack of a better word, it can become extremely derpy and frustrating, especially when trying to get out of a puddle, because for some reason Geralt forgets how walking works. The horse can get stuck on tiny rocks, or jammed on a small 0.5ft cliff as if there's an invincible, impenetrable wall in front of it. These bugs aren't game breaking by any means and you learn to avoid them, but they can be bothersome nonetheless.    … Expand

    The music is great and fits the game world well. The combat, I love it, because I play games in the hardest settings that I'm allowed to, and as I quickly learned this isn't a button masher, there's some thought before engaging in a fight, I'm used to bruteforcing or exploiting my way into fights with powerful enemies in games, but this game kicked my butt, and I loved every second of it. It made me think like a witcher and by the time I was high level I could recognize an enemy type just by looking at it, and I would prepare accordingly.
    The story is well told and theres a good balance of humor and scary moments, even some really good parts where I didn't even know who was the bad guy or if anyone was good or bad at all, was it me??

    This game has a well-written story and is very immersive. The movement is a bit odd, but after spending some time with it I got used to it. Love the characters. Looks great. Combat is not as fluid as something like Shadows of Mordor, but the engaging cast of characters and the story-telling more than makes up for that.

    I give it a 9,7/10, but the way metacritic works I can only settle for a 9 or a 10, so 10 it is.

    It just hits this fantasy spot very few games ever managed. Definitely one of the best games of the decade.

    Pros:
    -enveloping atmosphere
    -magical fantasy scenery
    -big open environments
    -good graphics, even for 2020
    -good non-linear story, perfect quest-story synergy
    -abundance of content
    -solid character customization, "earning the gear"
    -decent skill development system
    -solid 3rd person slasher combat
    -interesting quest design
    -challenging, impactful story decisions
    -diverse variety of monsters and enemies
    -extensive fantasy lore, based on the Sapkowski books
    -reasonably priced, big Expansions

    Cons:
    -no custom character creation, you play as Geralt
    -magic abilities rather simple, but this is reasoned by story
    -not completely open world, BUT world divided into parts, which are completely open and are very massive, so world size is not really a problem.

    The way I would describe The Witcher 3 and it's expansions, is it's like being dropped into an uncensored and brutal Fairy Tale by the Grimm Brothers - the atmosphere in this game is just perfect, and everything combines so well to uphold it. The story of the game is quality and engaging, a proper fantasy take on world dynamics, war, big politics and society, in a way akin to the Game of Thrones TV series, except without an embarrassing Season 8 fiasco. Not in a preachy way, mind you, like so many games try to be nowadays.

    It is filled with hard dilemmas and choices which resonate, and frequently impact the story in unexpected ways. It's one of those games which doesn't treat it's side-quests like lame bulk-material, a doesn't separate them from the story in a gamey, obvious and clear-cut way. "Hand-crafted with careful attention to detail" is perhaps the best way to put in words how this game feels.

    Overall, a very well crafted experience. One of the only games where you can feel the passion and care of the developers towards their game. One of the only games where you can feel it wasn't just treated as another yearly piece of software. This game will definitely remain in my heart forever.    … Expand

    And while I can't think of any reason to give yet another highly positive review, the title isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. While you are constantly surrounded by new and familiar faces, your character is alone. Maybe that's not a bad thing, but sometimes some party banter is helpful when it's too quiet. Yet, there rarely is a dull moment. The crafting system has gone through some revision and inventory management has improved.

TW3 seems more than just a game, it's alive, alive with beauty, with activity all around, it sucks you in and doesn't want to let you go, and when eventually you do pause for food or the toilet the real world seems drab and dull in comparison. This is a game that makes you want to learn to ride a horse, strap on a couple of swords and go explore the mountains of Scotland (which look a lot like Skellige).

    The main story is absolutely gripping, so hard to leave it and carry out the side quests which you really need to to level up, but then the side quests are just as gripping, the Red Baron quest is worthy of it's own game alone.

    I've been playing video games since the 1970s and in all that time I've tried every genre, RPG was never my favourite, always preferred FPS, but I can in all honesty say that in the last 40 years of gaming TW3 is hands down the most immersive, most well written, most beautiful, most heart wrenching, most moving, and the most lovingly crafted computer game I've ever had the privilege to play.

    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.
