    One of the best RPG that I have had the pleasure playing.

    Not a perfect 10 because I felt there were too many side quests and followed similar narrative to each other. The game is dense in story and quests but in a charming way.

    Это. Просто. Ахуенно.
    В сравнении с остальным современным, конвейерным говном, эта игра-лучшее что видело человечество.

    Like most I have been playing video games for over 30+ years. The Witcher 3 is by FAR the Game of the Year, Game of the Decade, Game of the Generation. It excels in every area of the RPG genre.

I have invested over 1,000+ hours with my 4th play-thorough behind me. This game is the greatest video game EVER made and it is the standard by which all games in the future are judged. Even now over 3 years since it's release it is STILL breaking records and making other gaming studios wither and die as they realize that they will either have to up the ante or close their doors as they will not be able to compete with CD Project Red. Oh BTW; Cyberpunk 2077 is right around the corner and expect more of the same for the beloved company that gave us the best video game ever; The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt.… Expand

    Can start by saying that this game is god damn beautiful! Open world nature when its the best. But like with all open world AAA games they sometimes becomes a bit repeating, even witcher 3.

    Игра очень интересная, 4 прохождения за спинной, более 1000 часов геймплея.
    Плюсы:
    1. Сюжет и квесты. Самый большой плюс Ведьмака - это именно задания(Сюжет, квесты). Именно в них вы прочувствуете игру, они приведут вас по разным уголкам карты, познакомят вас с разными персонажами, заставят вас делать ОЧЕНЬ трудные выборы, которые напомнят о себе спустя долгое время. 2.

    2. Хорошая графика. Не скажу что графика топ 1, но мне зашла.

    3. Русский. Русские субтитры, озвучка, приятные голоса. Много разнообразных русских слов, как же не упомянуть маты, в игре их достаточно, даже складывается чувство, что игру создавали в России.

    4. NPC. В игре много NPC для взаимодействия, у NPC хорошая харизма и озвучка, интересные диалоги с выходом на разные концовки этих диалогов.

    5. Свобода выбора. Самый сок Ведьмака, свобода выбора везде, абсолютно, игру можно пройти десятки раз и она не надоест, если конечно её проходить по разному.

    6. Атмосфера игры. Атмосфера очень проработана. Действия происходят во время войны двух держав, это видно не только на полях боя, которые завалены трупами, а в сожжённых деревнях, загнивающих от голода сёлах. В деревнях люди работают, устраивают кулачные бои, пьют в тавернах. Доски объявлений, случайные диалоги и задания. Это всё в сумме даёт именно ту топовую атмосферу.

    7. Открытый мир. Мир ведьмака ОГРОМЕН, в нём сложно заскучать. Большое количество разнообразных локаций, пещер, деревень. У каждой локации своя атмосфера, своя музыка, каждая локация по своему принимается душой, ты чувствуешь каждый уголок по своему.

    8. Снаряжение. Броня, мечи, арбалеты, броня на лошадь. Снаряжения в этой игре очень большое количество, всё снаряжение в игре вы не соберёте даже играя тысячи часов, будет хоть один десяток предметов, который вы не найдёте с 50+ прохождения.

    Минусы:

    1. Плотва. У Плотвы немало багов, но это скорее стало её фишкой, чем недостатком. Плотва бывает неизвестно где, вытворяет непонятные вещи. Мне это даже нравится (Каждому своё).

    2. Идеальность. После Ведьмака будет сложно искать себе игру, так как все игры будут сравниваться с Ведьмаком и будут хуже него, остальные игры будут казаться отсталыми и скучными, заставляя вернуться в этот шедевр.    … Expand

    PLAYER'S ACTIONS MATTER, this is the primary goal of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt as it weaves a beautiful story and enjoyable combat into one glorious combination. The Witcher can by all means be among top contenders for the best game ever made without contention.

    Best game i've ever played in my life. I just loved the fantasy setting, dark and full of evil. It represent the real society very well, it's a deep psicological game, because each character, mission or event has a story full of sadness and happiness, just like the real world.

    So this game might not be perfect, the loot system isn't that great and the fighting is better in the Dark Souls series, but this game is still the most well made game I've ever played. It is an absolute "must play". The environment is amazing, the story is epic, the music is fantastic. Make sure to get all the expansions for it. Kudos to CD Project RED, they are changing the gaming industry.

It makes every Bethesda game, with their silly, short, and shallow quests and stories, look like children had made them. Literally. One's not even able to compare them properly. They're leagues apart on practically every level. CDPR tower over Bethesda, and they were a smaller group of developers when they made TW3! They understand art, storytelling, player choice, open world, design, detail, balance, and so so so much more. I'm done with Bethesda. They were in prime position to take RPG gaming to the next level, but they went backwards, big time. TH should be fired. PH should be fired. EP should definitely be fired more than anyone else. As well as the hidden decision makers. They take years to produce those RPG **** What a laugh!

    When a game like The Witcher 3 is played, one can see what's possible in RPG gaming, and you can easily make the stance that Bethesda contains high levels incompetence, stupidity, laziness, greed, and luck.

The game is absolutely massive. Even if all you do is the main story, you'll roam all across the map, sail across the sea, see many different and amazing things.

    - Points that weaken: The control of the horse and Geralt is sometimes a little crazy (depending on the areas that we go and clear speed), I do the analysis now but the game was spent years ago and I wanted to squeeze it to the maximum (after play 1000 hours to the title) and still contains some bugs (and that CD Projekt solved each error had been quickly to offer the best expreciencoa to the consumer), and that's it, for me has no more weak points.
    Why a 10? There is no perfect game, now or ever, but for me a 10 to a video game means that it is worth what you pay for and it is worth every cent of what it costs, not having this game aueencima is 30 euros or less. GOTY in some pages seems an insult to me in this world and in question to quality. CD Projekt earned my respect and because of how the videogame industry is today with abusive micropayments and those **** **** companies like CD Projekt give a ray of hope to this world and make the players of before we join and appreciate what what is really the quality and being happy of a product, if CD Projekt fails, it will be all holders     … Expand

    Now onto the rest, First off, the combat is really bad. There is little to no variety in encounters and combat outside of a boss, every mechanic feels annoying in some way like a bandit parrying a master swordsman of a witcher or a wolf jumping out of the way at the right moment,    alright let's get the good out of the way right now, it has amazing graphics & a huge expansive open world.

There is little to no variety in encounters and combat outside of a boss, every mechanic feels annoying in some way like a bandit parrying a master swordsman of a witcher or a wolf jumping out of the way at the right moment, these built in mechanisms to prevent combat from being easy are just as annoying as Assassins creed, hell that's what the combat is most like to be honest. Geralt moves like a **** 80 yr old suffering from severe Arthritis. The RPG mechanics feel out of place a lot, like wow, a potion that gives me 10% bonus damage on a contract monster I already killed that would take me several minutes (lets say 10) to actually create, amazing. Or having to repair armor and weapons, why? Food and drinks being required to heal are annoying too. Then all that gear - when it essentially boils down to just remaining leveled, because that's the artificial nonsensical difficulty of this game. Geralt can take on the wild hunt, but stay away from that level 10 rotfiend because even though he can slay all those level 3 rotfiends, this one is too much for this god-tier warrior.

    The Main Questline is incredibly repetitive, 90 % of the story can be summed up like this, Go to one town, Ask someone about Ciri, Get set on a Monster hunting quest, return & ask about Ciri, play a short flashback as Ciri, regain Control as Geralt, leave town & repeat this for 35 **** hours. Wow really the pinnacle of storytelling right here.

    The side quests don't fare much better either, Go to an NPC, they lost their brother, mother in law, wife, dog, uncle to some **** monster. You use your witcher senses, Geralt goes "hmmm blood tracks, looks like there was a fight", you find the monster, kill the monster, get reward. Repeat. Oh and let's not forgetting searching for someone's **** frying pan. Holy **** i'm really blown away.

    Let me first say, I spent 100 hours on The Witcher 3 and I still didn't finish the main plot, not started with the DLCs yet, so while I still have much play hours to go, I think my past hours allows me to review the game.

    The environment is beautful to being with. It is the best game to show the medieval ages which is gloomy, dangerous, stink everywhere and peasants are struggling hard    Let me first say, I spent 100 hours on The Witcher 3 and I still didn't finish the main plot, not started with the DLCs yet, so while I still have much play hours to go, I think my past hours allows me to review the game.

    The environment is beautful to being with. It is the best game to show the medieval ages which is gloomy, dangerous, stink everywhere and peasants are struggling hard to survive the consequences of wars, unlike other medieval RPG games which shows you people dress well, streets are clean and buildings are like built yesterday. Every city, town and village shows a bit of unique looks, while NPCs will eventually repeat the same one-liners and sentences which can be disappointing.

    Much side quests to indulge with, and they're all written well, not those burdensome fetch quests you find in Skyrim often. Cutscenes are likable and characters are fun when they talk and argue.

    The combat system is very basic. It's like designed for people who are playing RPG for the first time. There are not much moves to do which makes the combat boring. The signs are fun to use for some hours until they feel repetitive.

    Leveling is really bad in this game. You don't feel you have "leveled up" like other RPG games. They stealthly improve your attack and defense points without knowing it. You don't know what was exactly improved. In my 100 hours, I didn't have to use spells because I simply didn't need them. Oils, not really. Some oils sometimes are very hard to make because some ingredient is hard to find and I won't waste hours to find it and better try my chance without it.

    The inventory and quest UIs are horrendous. Looking for a quest? Go through 3-4 tabs with 50+ rows each. Worst is, they're not sorted by name, level or anything. Inventory can be messy and everything is in one place. While they break into food, weapons and armor, etc, but try looking for a particular item in the spells inventory, and you'll be lost among other 150+ items.

    What's more disappointing is, it's not worthy to work hard to get that fine sword or armor, because you'll simply find better 1-2 levels later. I worked for 3 hours on a side quest to build me an armor, just to replace it with a better armor 2 HOURS LATER.

    Killing monsters while exploring is useless. Who in the world thought that players shouldn't be given experience points for slaying monsters or bandits?? The landscape while huge, it's "too real" it gets boring to explore. The question marks thrown all over the map is just either a monster nest, a treasure guarded by some monster, or a bandit camp. That's it. There is no dungeons to discover or landmarks to explore.

    The music is astonishing and makes a great background.

    Currently, I'm playing it to finish it rather than enjoying it. Having a game which the first hour is the same as 100th hour is really boring. Oh, and the first 10 hours of the game? The most boring I had. I had to stop playing the game twice until a friend convinced me to play it and pass the tedious first hours to get to the meat, which I really enjoyed later, but now it's becoming boring again, maybe until I start the DLCs.    … Expand

    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 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    The 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

    This is an okay game, but certainly not "the best RPG of all time" as many have claimed. I've never played Witcher 2, tried Witcher 1 (Enhanced Edition) for couple of hours, but I've read tons of reviews and gamer's opinions about Witcher 3 before starting playing it. This game has a lot of advantages but it has even more flaws.

This game has a lot of advantages but it has even more flaws.

    PROS:
    Start of the game is very detailed with tutorial in every aspect of the game.
    Story looks very promising and intriguing.
    Combat (in open areas) is good, various of mechanics and styles of fighting. Mods can improve that even more.
    Main quests seems okay so far, story plays slow, but it manages to keep tension.
    Huge open world with beautiful nature.
    Characters graphical view - face, eyes, lips, nose, body, color looks amazing.

    CONS:
    Most of side quests are too boring, you just play them to get exp, loot or more gold.
    Dialogues (mostly side quests) are boring too. I mostly just skip side quests dialogues just to get to the point and get it done.
    Stupid non-enemy AI - if you stand on the road with your horse, villagers can't simply get pass you, they just bash into you every time.
    Terrible character control in the city - witcher can't get passed other villagers peacefully too, once he starts walking/running in the city - he bashes everyone around like some crazy guy, steps on chairs, tables etc.
    Close quarters combat is hell - if you find yourself in a fight, in a small room it's going to be nightmare. You can't concentrate on certain opponent for more that 2 seconds, you pressing mouse and keyboard to fight one enemy, game decides to attack other, camera sometimes starts jump crazy too and you can't see witcher any more, sometimes you lose control over your character completely, especially when you have to make fast decisions - you press roll, but witcher just keeps standing in place and dying, you press dodge - witcher refused to do that.
    Graphics look good, but it could be better in sharpening aspect - game's world look too sharpened on high and too blurry on low. It can only be fixed with some graphical mods.
    There are some bugs too - citizens sometimes floating in air, roach appearing in air and some optional quest lines not appearing in journal and failling after you pass certain point of quest.

    Right now I'm at this point where I'm wondering whether to continue to play this game or not, I hesitate. Main story is what still keeps me going like I mentioned before, I want to know what's gonna happen next. But other than, there's nothing really that special about Witcher 3 and it's certainly not "RPG king of all time" for me.
    Everyone that loves RPGs should try Witcher 3 themselves, because it really depends on many aspects, some will love it and some will hate it, and both side would be right. However this game is far from the best.    … Expand

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

    Very good but this game would be better if it wasn´t an open world game, to much filler, this hurt´s the game more than helping it..

    I've been putting off writing this review for some time now, mostly because I wanted to know if it was just a "wow effect" and nothing more. But, alas, it was not.

    The Wtcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the most exceptional games ever made (and I've played it through on both PS4 and PC, but my review is for the PC version, which removes all FPS drops of the PC, naturally). Whether this game came at the perfect time (post-Skyrim, Mass Effect 1-3, and Last of Us); whether it was the immense amount of work clearly put in it; whether it was that we were all finally ready to read long dialogues again, and be immersed in a new world of a novelist's making; or whether it was simply that the game was hyped for so long, delayed twice, and finally delivered with the promise of two incredible DLCs (a promise kept), this game has taken the torch from whatever the last "Greatest Game Ever Made" was - be it for you Ocarina of Time, Half-Life 2, Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, Fallout 3 or NV, the Ezio Trilogy, God of War or World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy I-XIII-2, GTA IV and V, or Tetris and Super Mario Bros. - and, in my opinion, is still waiting for the next game to take it forth the next few hundred kilometers (and no, Breath of the Wild, for me, did not take The Witcher's torch - it almost did, but couldn't).

    I do not say this lightly. I am not fanboying/fangirling. I played the game, twice, DLCs and all, and waited months before making this review. And here's what I've come to appreciate. But first, let me be clear - No game, except Tetris (for obvious reason) deserves a 10/10, because no game can be as perfect, considering technology available. My 9/10 is for one simple reason - bugs that can never be fixed. But my 9/10 also means, I see what is wrong with the game, which is very little, and I see what is right with it, which is overwhelmingly much more.

    Let's move on:

    Story: 10/10 (first DLC 9/10; second DLC 9/10 - mostly because they play more like movies than games, and feel really outside of the atmosphere of the main game, imho; especially Blood and Wine, despite how fun it was). I don't need to say it, and I'm not spoiling it. The Story in Witcher 3 is one of the best in any game ever made. I know very few people who did not cry at some point, or who did not laugh at many, or cringe and feel embarrassed at others, as they would watching a movie or reading a book. Well-blended with the next point (its Visuals), the story in Witcher 3 was positively heightened in quality by how much work was given to facial gestures and characters. It isn't clunky like other RPGs.

    Graphics/Visual Attention - 10/10 - Witcher 3 is a beautiful game that fits perfectly before and after other beautiful games of 2015. The world feels alive. People do things. Animals and creatures do things. Nature does things. And all things are done on their own time. If it rains, people run to cover. If there's lightning, they run inside. Animals and monsters, alike, have predators, and they are also prey of others, likewise. Horses seek nourishment and water when left alone. Lightning does not strike twice in the same place. There is even a full lunar eclipse! Last point of argument. Adult Ciri KEEPS facial gestures from pre-pubescent Ciri. That's how much attention was given to visuals and the natural liveliness of the game.

    Music - 9.5/10 - Why 9.5/10? Because I'm a musician and composer, and I know when more can be done, and when less can be exposed. So I'm biased by my experience. But the music in Witcher 3 is some of the best we've seen since the old days of Oblivion or Morrowind. I'd argue it's better than the music in Journey, even. Definitely better than that one memorable track in Last of Us or Uncharted. If you want a short taste of it, go on YouTube and listen to Priscilla's song. Don't watch the scene... just the song; preferably in Polish, but it's up to you.

    Audio - 10/10 - People cough and sneeze. Monsters can be heard munching on other creatures. Thunder can scare. Doors closing by themselves can frighten. Floorboards may creek.

    Mechanics/Controls - 9.5/10 - There are bugs, very minor ones... you know, like a fly going around the dinner table during a wonderful dinner with many friends. The company is perfect, the food is great, the drinks are plenty, but there's that one damn fly every now and then. If you disregard it, however, you'll have a wonderful night. (Also, I disagree this is like Dark Souls series, but whatever)

    Replayability - umm... yeah... what year is it? 2018? I just started replaying it last night, again. This will be my 3rd playthrough, possibly taking me upwards of 200+ hours. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last RPG I ever finish.

    Enjoy!    … Expand

    One of my personal favourites of all time. Everything is good in this game, the characters are well written incredibly well, and they are all unique. The game world is also fantastic, but can sometimes get repetitive in some parts. The story as well is fantastic and not too long, but not short. I recommend getting the DLC as they are like separate games, and they are worth every penny.

    The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt needed to be an epic, satisfying conclusion to the Witcher trilogy, and for the most part, it succeeds. Many characters from previous games return, the graphics are glorious, the writing is sharp and poignant, interface and combat is greatly improved. But there is suddenly a ton of confusing exposition in the final act, and while story side-quests are doneThe Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt needed to be an epic, satisfying conclusion to the Witcher trilogy, and for the most part, it succeeds. Many characters from previous games return, the graphics are glorious, the writing is sharp and poignant, interface and combat is greatly improved. But there is suddenly a ton of confusing exposition in the final act, and while story side-quests are done well, the average village contract reuses encounter mechanics over and over. Not the 10/10 game that reviewers hype it to be, but a strong 8/10 – and absolutely worth the $20 it frequently discounts to during sales.
    Total size on my hard-drive (GOTY): 36GB

    ++ Superb bestiary. The number of different creatures you’ll face is stunning in its variety.
    ++ Excellent cast of interesting characters.
    ++ Excellent DLC. Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine are must-buy content. Go for the GOTY edition.

    + Narrative choices are real.
    + Most complaints from the Witcher 2 have been addressed / fixed. Fast travel. Clean and clear inventory. Less clunky combat.
    + Graphics are stunning and fairly light on resources for a modern title. I averaged between 60-90 fps on High @1080p with an RX 470.
    + The cities feel alive. Pedestrians in the streets, merchants on the corners, guards on patrol, bandits lurking in the back alleys.
    + Excellent side-quests.
    + Excellent faction quests.
    + Excellent soundtrack. A clever mix of medieval-style folk music with a big Hollywood-style orchestral score.
    + Mature themes. You’ll see people being beaten, burned and hung. As Geralt, you’ll be propositioned, threatened with dismemberment, and see others threatened with worse. You’ll also observe some sexy times with Geralt & your romance choice. If you are trying to get in an hour of gameplay after putting your kids to bed, make sure they are REALLY asleep before booting up the Witcher 3.
    + Out of combat or conversation, save anywhere, any time.

    +/- Decent story. Ciri is being pursued by the spectral Wild Hunt, Geralt tracks her across the land, hoping to reach her before the Hunt does. “Go here, help this person, then they’ll tell you more about Ciri” is two-thirds of the main story. In between, Geralt has to solve his personal relationships, save Dandelion (again!), becomes embroiled with the Lodge of Sorceresses (again!), while meddling with spies, statecraft, and intrigue. All good stuff, though I missed The Witcher 2’s tighter focus.
    +/- Combat, once understood, flows smoothly and quickly in space. It is of the “a few quick swipes, dodge, a few more quick swipes, dodge again etc.” variety. Once you learn a beast’s attack pattern (and acquire some good gear), everything becomes almost too easy.
    +/- I didn’t mind the constant soft-target-lock-on, but players used to more complete control will get annoyed fast.

    - Iorveth (from the Witcher 2) is nowhere to be seen.
    - Still laden with random bugs and glitches.
    - Narrative suffers from level-gating. If you’re just playing for the story, and don’t want to wander the land in search of random contracts, you’ll consistently find yourself under-leveled.
    - Tons of stuff to do in the villages you’ll find as you explore. But do I really want to follow footprints or a chem trail for the umpteenth monster contract? Fatigue doesn’t set in too quickly thanks to the large enemy pool, but the re-used encounters can’t be hidden.
    - Geralt has a copious number of skills that can be leveled and placed in one of twelve ability slots. Everything from perks to magic upgrades and better sword skills needs to be placed in a slot for it to be active; otherwise, you can level it as much as you want, but it won’t have any effect. Upgrades must ALSO be put into ability slots, meaning as your level increases, your build becomes more focused on one or two talents, instead of on multiple skills. Unnecessarily restrictive in a game that relies on variety to maintain interest.
    - A cutscene plays when loading a new region that summarizes Geralt’s or Citi’s current situation. The cutscene updates / changes based upon where you are in the story. But if you find you need to go from Velen to Skellige to Kaer Morhen and back to Velen without advancing the story, you’ll watch that same cutscene over and over again.

    The Witcher 3 is a game that every fan of role-playing games should own. Not because of the vast amount of content, but because the content itself is of such a high quality. Unlike near-annual franchises that have copy-and-pasted stories and activities, the developers of The Witcher 3 clearly gave a damn. While every game has its flaws, the product of their care and attention is one of the best role-playing games of this gaming generation.    … Expand

    Luckily , even for Console gamers , the way you're suppose to fight isn't just using your swords , but using potions and oils to increase damage and such.

    which leads me to the good thing I want to mention
    Enemy variety is a major plus that only Witcher 3 has over tons of other open world games in the gen.
    And by variety , I not only mean vampires , humans , elves , spiders etc... I mean the way you're suppose to fight them differently and how they fight you themselves.
    Something Destiny lacks unlike Halo.....
    Seriously , how many enemy types are in assassins creed origin ? Shadow of War ? Far cry 4 ? heck GTA 5 only has one "enemy" type (it is successful in other parts but I digress).

    This is how you make a GAME , challenging and making you learn all its mechanics and features to beat it.
    Regardless , the story and lore are just another great part about the game.

    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.
