    The only and i mean the ONLY problem with this game is Geralt animation/movement, all other parts of the game are perfect for me. Amazing quests, amazing characters, AMAZING music, amazing atmosphere! I cant describe the feelings/moments that i had with this game, its truly One Of a Kind!

    graphic downgrade is inevitable for the sake of platform parity, so i won't hold it against cdp , their hands are tied, the game actually lives up to the hype, a must have for rpg fans, my only complain is that the game crashes every 1-2 hours, it's really getting on my nerve,my understanding is many ppl are experiencing the same problem.

    The Witcher. How do I go about reviewing this. There are a lot things to consider. First of all that the company that made it is incredibly small team, think about that for a moment, a game with a tenth of the crew of GTA V managed to be this good.

    The Witcher 3 is massive. Possibly THE largest open world game to date and it is filled from top to bottom with content. Every side quest is    The Witcher. How do I go about reviewing this. There are a lot things to consider. First of all that the company that made it is incredibly small team, think about that for a moment, a game with a tenth of the crew of GTA V managed to be this good.

    The Witcher 3 is massive. Possibly THE largest open world game to date and it is filled from top to bottom with content. Every side quest is fully voiced and at times even bleed into the main story. These are the best sidequests I have ever seen. That's difinitive. The best.

    -Characters from previous games make their appearences here with choices from previous games making large changes to the world. If you haven't played the previous games then don't worry the story is surprisingly easy to get into. The Story is great so I'm not going to spoil any of it for whoever goes and buys this game. It must be said that it is the highlight of the game though.

    Graphics despite having a large downgrade for console performance are still very good. You know that when there's an option to have every hair in the world have advanced physics no expense was spared. But if you were planning on having max settings this I will have to dissapoint you. Even with a powerfull PC I could still not get above 50fps on the lowest settings.

    -Gameplay is notably less clunky then in previous games but I think it should be reviewed on its own. It is still clunky. When playing the secondary character you will understand that this was intentional. The character is an old man of 100 something years. Even so I would have still enjoyed a much more fluid movement.

    Cons:
    -The horse. This may seem stupid but the horse is extremely important to get you places so it should have been mostly bug free and such. No. It is by far the buggiest and worst AI in the whole game. In a game with excellent AI the horse stands out as a wet piece of excrement in an otherwise almost flawless system.

    -There are also a host of bugs throughout the game that are almost inherent to the open world genre. Being Cdprojecktreds first venture into open world with such a small team makes this a bitter pill to swallow but still exceptable.

    -Load times, nuff said

    That's it. No really my only problems with the game are the horse, the load time and the bugs (which knowing CDprokekt will get patched). In a game this expansive if that doesn't tell you something then you might need help.

    Final verdict. 10 out of 10
    My problems with this game were few and far between and it is well worth your time and money. There are a host of things I didn't mention in this review because it is already extremely long but rest assured that they are all positive. This coupled with CDprojekts' policy of free DLC (yes you can have your horse armor and keep it too) The game soon will be worth this rating. but as of yet with many bugs unfixed it is still a 9.5. By the time of the enhanced edition (which will probably be free) release I'm sure that if I could I would be handing out an 11 out of ten.
    So Whaddya waiting for. Go buy this game. Now.    … Expand

AMAZING visuals along with a seamless world that makes you feel like you've actually traveled back in time is a win situation in my books. The in depth crafting systems for both Alchemy, and Blacksmithing(Armor/Weapons) makes you want to explore what can be made and really brings out the depth of the world with the sheer amount of items availble. It truly is a paradise for RPG lovers anywhere. If you have liked pass tittles such as Oblivion/Skyrim, or Dragon Age Origins as much as I have, then do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one. A special shout out to the developers of this wonderful game with their free DLC practices and going back to the way things should with a solid, full length, non-expensive expansion pack that is going to be worth every nickel. Fingers crossed that other developers follow suit with them. I know I will be supporting them through thick and thin.… Expand

    The Witcher 3 is by far one of the best, if not the best, RPG to date! CD PROJEKT RED did an amazing job bringing Andrzej Sapkowski's world to us players.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If someone is wondering whether they should get the game or not, the answer is definitely yes! The game does so much right. By no means is it perfect but seeing as this really is the new milestone for rpg's, I couldn't justify giving this game any less than a 10. Strictly speaking, I would give the game at its current state a 9.5, but we'll round it up.

    Pros:
    + Gorgeous, MASSIVE world. It just is so beautiful and masterfully crafted. No matter where you go, you can always find something interesting. The landscapes are phenomenal and immersive. The world is also full of interesting monsters and other npc's.
    + Story and storytelling. You've probably heard that this time around the story is a personal one. And that is completely true. It really grips you and makes you feel for the characters and want to see what's going to happen next.
    + Characters. Probably the biggest thing that sets this game apart from all the other RPG's. The characters are so well done. They all have interesting, genuine personalities and the voice acting is just perfect. The dialogues feel so real and you can really see, and feel, what the characters are feeling.
    + Decision making is the best that any RPG has seen. Not only can you see the effects of your decisions in the world, there isn't always a clear line of right or wrong. You don't usually get judged right away for your decisions and you can't always know the consequences beforehand.
    + Side quests are FINALLY worthwhile. In fact, some side quests even feel like a part of the main quest. In some ways they are, since they do affect the main quest. But all the characters, lore and dialogues make you immersed in the game like no other and there's quite a bit of variety in the quests.
    + Soundtrack. Not much to be said here, the soundtrack just is extremely fitting and at times beautiful.
    + Graphics. Yes, you read right. Despite all the downgrade fuss, the graphics are phenomenal. Sure, a slight downgrade has happened, but after some patches that improve the graphics a bit, I can not honestly see how someone would say that the graphics are not good.
    + Tons of interesting loot to be found everywhere.
    + 16 free dlc's (tho minor ones).
    + Fast patches.

    Since I'm not big on crafting stuff, I'm just going to say that alchemy and crafting has been made well and I found no issues with them.

    Cons:
    - Combat is a bit unresponsive and floaty. The problem could be with the controls, which by the way are a bit sloppy too, but I think they should have made the combat more like in Bloodborne. It's just so smooth and rewarding and you can really feel the hit of your blows in that game. Now don't get me wrong, the combat is not bad at all, it's good in fact, but I feel like there's improvements to be made.
    - Lack of spells/character development. The skill system is pretty good, but it lacks depth. It feels too restrictive. There should be more variations to the signs, more interesting skills (many skills are just passive buffs to your abilities) and quite frankly, you should be able to select more skills on your active skills bars.
    - Bugs. No surprises here. In a game this huge, there was bound to be bugs. Luckily, there aren't too many and they aren't game-breaking, or even too distracting.
    - Short viewing distance. The world and graphics are beautiful and the landscapes as well, but unfortunately the landscape gets blurred and foggy too fast.
    *MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD*
    - Honestly, this is the thing that bugs me the most. After beating the game, the game reverts back to before playing the final chapter and the main quest vanishes. This means that all the things you do during the final chapter won't have any effect on the world at all. What's more, almost all the main characters disappear from the world. Needless to say, this is SO immersion breaking. What were the devs thinking? The game is otherwise so well done and then they just pull you out of the immersion and make the world feel so hollow.
    *SPOILERS END*

    Conclusion:
    All in all the pros really outweigh the cons. As for the last con, I'm really hoping that the devs release a patch or dlc SOON that will fix this problem. It seems likely, since others have complained about it too. Despite that, all I can say is: BUY THE GAME and support the awesome devs for making this game and respecting us gamers. You won't regret it.    … Expand

    I laughed, I cried, and I loved every moment. My first run was 68 hours and I felt like I only got through a portion of the content. This is one of the best games ever made, period.

    Why, you may ask? First off, the writing. It is exceptional. There's one scene where I laughed for a solid 20 minutes. I would never have expected such consistent, witty, engaging dialogue from a game.    I laughed, I cried, and I loved every moment.

    Second, the sound design. Exceptional music and solid voice work throughout.

    Third, the world, quest and monster design. In such a massive game, repetitive witcher contracts and dull quests could have easily been the norm...but there wasn't a single monster contract that wasn't different, and there wasn't a single quest without a new and engaging story! It is easy to get lost in this world. Completionists will likely go grey before coming close to the end.

    Fourth, the art design. I played this game on medium settings, and everything was beautiful.

    The game isn't perfect. The biggest weakness is clunky control programming. There are plenty of times when character control is less than fluid. But this is a minor annoyance in such a polished, riveting game world.

    An extraordinary game. Thank you!    … Expand

The graphics were insane and the RPG elements were groundbreaking. Then came Witcher 2. I saw the game for $20 on release at a discount store that I'll not name and thought "what the heck" and purchased it. The Witcher 2 turned out to completely shatter my opinions of RPGs of the past. I played the BG series, the Dragon Age games (at the time DA2 had been released several months earlier), final fantasy games and Neverwinter Nights. Witcher 2 absolutely demolished all of them. Up until The Witcher 3, I found the Witcher 2 to be the greatest of all time. Then came Witcher 3. I have to admit I enjoyed Witcher 2's story slightly more but I still think Witcher 3 had a phenomenal story. The game has so many twists and turns and your decisions will affect the outcome. I've seen a few people complaining about being forced to use an xbox controller. I don't understand the problem with this. There are several games that command the use of a controller including Assassin's Creed games. This is a non issue for me. I've heard of a few people complaining about the control over Geralt and again, it's not an issue for me. Because some people complained about the controls, CDPR released an alternate type of control. Hopefully this satisfies those who do not like the original controls. The graphics on PC are probably the best I've ever seen in a game. Seriously. Nothings comes close. Considering this is an open world game and it runs without shudder at 4k resolution with Hairworks cranked up on a PC with a 4 year old processor and motherboard makes that all the more impressive. Again, I found the story in Witcher 2 to be slightly better but that is not a slight. I would not debate on which had a better story through because they both had their strongpoints. This game is a mature game. It does not deviate much from the books so if you're looking for a liberal utopia like Dragon Age 1, 2 or 3 then this is not your game. It doesn't care about your views but it will force you to make some moral decisions. You will not be a hero. This game does not inform you on which decision is the better decision because almost all decisions offer a positive or negative or maybe a few of both. The game does not insult your time by jamming fetch quests down your throat. The closest thing to fetch quests is the witcher armor missions, the guarded treasure, and the treasures that can be found by investigating the sea floor and surface alike. However, if you don't want to get the stuff, you do not have to. I've heard some people say that the side quests offer more of a story than the main story quests. This is probably the first time I've enjoyed a game with this much meat. I put well over 100 hours into the game and I gotta say, I loved every minute of it.… Expand

    This game deserves all the praise it receives. Fantastic on every aspect of the game with only a small amount of bugs/glitches through the whole thing. It is not surprising it won numerous awards including Game of the Year for 2015. I would recommend playing the previous games (Yes even the first Witcher) to fully get the experience of the story.

    Story: Geralt is back at it again. Only    This game deserves all the praise it receives. Fantastic on every aspect of the game with only a small amount of bugs/glitches through the whole thing. It is not surprising it won numerous awards including Game of the Year for 2015. I would recommend playing the previous games (Yes even the first Witcher) to fully get the experience of the story.

    Story: Geralt is back at it again. Only this time looking even better and can grow a beard. Now equipped with his memory restored you are tasked with finding the child of prophecy. Easy right? Think again. You get to explore 3 beautiful lands that have hidden treasures and plenty of monsters to slay. Inn to Inn squeezing every last coin from a Witcher contract, you find that you are not the only one trying to find this child of prophecy.
    Just when you think there is enough on your plate, comes the romance triangle from hell. God be with you.

    Gameplay: A HUGE improvement from the Assassin of Kings. The Wild Hunt finally got the combat correct. The moves felt smooth, using the signs were actually rewarding. You could use Igni to send the enemy up in flames without the huge penalty of death (Witcher 2).
    They also made the potion aspect of the Witcher profession very enjoyable and highly rewarding. You make the item once and it stays in your inventory, when you meditate you use heavy booze to replenish the charges of said items. Collecting all the oils, potions, and elixirs gave you the edge in battle that it was supposed to.

    Oh. Gwent. The love that is Gwent. They scrapped the previous little mini games from the last games and gave us something that could be its own game. I spent hours searching for gwent cards and people to destroy with my Nilf deck. Hopefully they look to make it a stand alone title in the future.

    Bugs/Glitches: Only a few to mention that stood out. Sometimes I would get a hangup in the audio, For example I would be underwater and when I resurface it still sounds like I'm underwater and cant hear properly. It would only clear after I jumped on to my boat and jumped once or twice. Another issue with water; While exploring in Skellige oceans I would get stuck and not be able to perform the dive action. I checked and made sure it wasn't just my game controller, both the keyboard and game controller wouldn't dive. Only thing to fix it would be to save the game and reload the game.
    Towards the end of the game the audio for hitting with my sword seemed to disappear also. Would only hear it after the 3-4 strike on a person. The damage of course still applied, just the sound was missing.

    Positives:
    + Huge maps with ton to explore
    +Armor sets
    +Timed choices

    Negatives:
    -You can end up alone

Knowing Cd Projekt RED, I was certain that I would experience a improved witcher game compared with the previous one. I was greatly mistaken. Not only I played an outstanding game, much better than its successors, but I also played one of the best games on my entire life.

    Despite the graphics controversy, the world of The Witcher 3 is beautiful and astonishing. It's possible to stand hours just looking at the horizon and watch the sun and moon cycles. The people, villages, animals, monsters are all alive. Not just waiting for you to kill them and gain XP. Wolves hunt, people do their daily chores, bandits try to find an easy victim, monster lurk and hunt the countryside. And the music and soundtrack bring a very emotional touch to all that.

    The story is also one of its greatests achievements. From a simple treasure hunt to a big main quest, the story is never boring, short or uninteresting.Its all very integrated. On a treasure hunt you may discover how a fisher lost a package on a river or how some deserters were prowling and stealing from refugees. The sidequests and monster hunts brings amazing stories about betrayal, love, dark rituals and the war and its effects on common people. The main quest brings a race against time to find someone very important to the Witcher. With many troubles on the way, of course.

    The gameplay, although not so easy to master and rather clunky (and bug) sometimes, is a very good improvement over the older Witcher games, creating a very strategic, fast and fun combat (specially on the highest difficult).

    At launch the game had many bug problems but the majority are resolved with the patches released by CD RED. And 16 free DLCs were released, with new gear, quests, skins and a New+ mode.

    Thereafterr, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a must buy. The beautiful visuals, lovelly music, heartbreaking stories and quests and its fun exploration and gameplay are a mark in the gaming industry. And, definitly, a true and sound ending to the franchise.

    +Beautiful Visuals
    +Amazing soundtrack
    +The best story and sidequests of this generation
    +Fun Gameplay

    -Bugs
    -Clunky Gameplay

    This game is amazing. Wild Hunt is the best RPG game of the year. Combat is fast and fun. Alchemy and crafting is great. Soundtracks are beautiful. In my opinion i didn't play any game like this in years. Skyrim is always the best for me but Witcher is the second best.

    This game is definitely the best RPG I've played to date, I've got 14 hours game time in 1 day and I can't get away from it. The atmosphere, the story, the gameplay, everything is brilliant.

I think I've died about 30 times so far, quick-saves are really important, even though auto-saves work pretty good too.

    I've nothing bad to say about the game. The talk about downgrade is completely baseless and untrue. The game looks better to me than on the gameplay trailers and even if you don't like how it looks now, you can always mod it or tweak the .ini settings to make it look differently.    … Expand

    I don't even know where to begin. I've only played for 40 hours - only, because that's practically nothing in TW3. This is a game, which subquests and subplots could easily be main plots of numerous great games. They are that good and involving. Rarely you are given only one way to solve a quest. Most of the times you face numerous decisions, non of which is obviously good or obviouslyI don't even know where to begin. I've only played for 40 hours - only, because that's practically nothing in TW3. This is a game, which subquests and subplots could easily be main plots of numerous great games. They are that good and involving. Rarely you are given only one way to solve a quest. Most of the times you face numerous decisions, non of which is obviously good or obviously bad. It's your job to learn as much as you can, make your own jugement and decide. And the outcome... the outcome is rarely what you would expect. And you can do nothing about it. The game will make you laugh, cry, shiver in righteous anger. Never in my life have I played such involving, immersive game with story of such depth. And I play mostly cRPGs. This is the first game, that actually has a small chance (I am too early in the story yet to say it definitely) to dethrone almighty Planescape: Torment from my private ranking in terms of story. And most of the other cRPGs? Comparing them to TW3 is pointless, nothing gets at least close. And not only in terms of story.
    This is the best looking video game at this point.
    Combat system is one of the best ever crafted in cRPG. Playing on the Death March difficulty makes Dark Souls looks like a nice breeze. And not only because of increased enemy damage. It's because the difficulty also increases enemy AI. They try to encircle you, they wait for this single moment you become briefly stuned or blinded and this is when you die, swarmed by several ghouls at once, taking opportunity of that you cannot chop them in half.
    Nearly everything about this game is a masterpiece. Story, visuals, story, story, combat system, story, music!, story, even the minigames that let you relax for a moment are perfected. Gwent, a game within a game, colectible card game, with a fresh set of rules, is enjoyable by itself.

    By no matter game is perfect - there are technial problems, such as monster behavior, when you try to lure him out of his zone. Rarely I could spot some visual glitches/artifacts, but that might've been my notebook's fault due to SLI setup. Controls may seem unresponsive - but that's not it. They're as responsive as physics dictates - both Geralt and his horse have their own momentum. They cannot stop in place, they can't make 90 degrees turns in full sprint. This is very subjective matter, some like it some don't. An option to turn off "realistic controls" would be very welcome. But by no means this is a bug or poor design, nor an effect of "console port". Which is an absurd, because game was made using CDPR RED Engine, which was dedicated for PCs.
    Last but not least - optimization. It's one of the best I've ever seen. Pillars of Eternity, with 2.5D not-so-detailed graphics was running around 25fps on my laptop. And here comes The Whitcher - marvelous 3D open world with best graphics up to date. And I am playing it on medium/high with 30 fps and on medium/low on 45 - 50fps. This is how you do it!
    If you are fan of cRPGs - why the **** are you reading this? Buy the game and play.
    If you are fan of good stories - see the above.
    If you are a gamer that is not too much into this kind of games - I just feel obliged to let you know this is a huge milestone for gaming in general. Seriously consider playing the game, because it's like no other.    … Expand

I especially like the way that they have made it so that you do not have to had already played the previous Witcher games to enjoy Wild Hunt. I'd still say it's a good idea so that you can remember who some of the returning characters are, but it is not necessary. From what I've heard about the console versions, it does not run too well. especially on PS4. But the consoles will always struggle to keep up with the PC version and for me at least I have been fully able to run the game maxed out with over 60 FPS constantly. If you are a fan of The Witcher or RPGs in general, then the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is a game for you. With over 100 hours playtime just for the campaign, I believe this to be one of the best made games yet, hence the high rating.… Expand

    I'm probably one of the few that believed TW1>TW2.

    For me, TW3 is the sequel TW1 deserved.

    I miss dice poker...

    Performance is great minus the pre-rendered cutscenes. Something needs to be fixes there.
    1080p 60fps[locked], all 'Ultra' settings with 'High' shadows and 'High' foliage draw distance. No fancy hair either. GTX 970 + 3570K.

    Absolutely Brilliant.

    Graphics - 8/10 . Game looks awesome.Not as good as was shown during 2013 trailer .Gotta mid range PC so i would never have been able to make it run like that so i don't care.Facial animations are probably the best iv seen so far.Makes even the lowliest roadside merchant come alive. Only complaint is trees and foliage looks pretty bad under certain lightings.    Absolutely Brilliant.

Only complaint is trees and foliage looks pretty bad under certain lightings.

    Sound and Music - 10/10. Love the soundtracks personally. Side quests,merchants everything has voice acting and is done really well.

    Controls and combat - 10/10.Personally had no problem whatsoever with controls. Combat is precise and all about timing and am loving it.Monsters are done really well as they have done a good job separting each different types with their own style plus speed of attacking, dodging and all . Truly comes alive in the hardest two difficulty . If you don't lock on, target can switch unexpectedly if button mashing and if you do lock on, its hard to keep an eye on all the enemies. So jus take it slow and methodical for first few levels and soon ull be chopping heads off left and right. One problem people might have is with the FOV as it can't be changed plus some keys such as WASD can't be rebinded.

    Story and contents 9.5/10 - Been a long time fan of the series since the books plus the first two witcher. They have done a really good job of making the world come alive and meaningful side quests with superb voice acting plus cutscenes makes the game truly immersive. Only complaint is wish the hidden areas werent permanently marked on map and had to talk to people or find books,notes to unlock em.

    Inventory,alchemy and crafting 8/10 - Money is hard to come by and theres lotsa goodies to buy,craft and find. Loot everything u find.Almost everything can be sold or dismantled for crafting. Alchemy has been changed. Once u craft something its permanent with fixed number of uses .U jus need hard alcohol in ur inventory to refill it while meditating. I like this as u dont have to go around picking every herbs and plants as there are lots.Main gripe is inventory can get very cluttered and wish there was a sort button.

    Final verdict. 10/10. Gonna give it a perfect score. They've done a brilliant job .Few complaints but rest of the game is soo good iam gonna overlook it .Plus its gonna have awesome mod support which will tenfold its longevity.
    The wait was worth it and am so satisfied with the product that i had to make an account and review it.Been gaming since the awesome Ultima series and this is my first time ever commenting on anything over the net.

    The people you meet, the places you visit and the situations you go through are getting even more interesting and absorbing. Remember you can also play two previous games!

    Enough about the back story.
    The game is just full of things I fell in love with in Sapkowki's books. Various quests, perfect surroundings (my joy is multiplied as I am from Poland and those Slavic accents are closer to my soul) outstanding characters, models, dubbing and the magic that is added through DETAILS.

    Not only visual details but the sense of humour, dialogues and other things that cannot be measured. That gives you an opportunity to join the game and enjoy it like no other.

    Many RPGs focus on tales of lone, wandering adventurers, but few if any pull it off it with such artistry as The Witcher 3. That artistry is most apparent in the setting itself, which is so packed with breathtaking sunsets and wind-tossed groves of trees that, months later, I still find myself opting to go to destinations on foot rather than taking the fast travel points.

That artistry is most apparent in the setting itself, which is so packed with breathtaking sunsets and wind-tossed groves of trees that, months later, I still find myself opting to go to destinations on foot rather than taking the fast travel points.

    But the true strength of The Witcher 3 is that it populates these memorable landscapes with NPCs doling out humble but memorable quests (by the dozen) that help create one of the most human RPG experiences on the market. In decaying wayside towns, the witcher Geralt might find impoverished elves struggling in the face of local racism; elsewhere, he might help a self-styled baron reunite with his long-estranged daughter. These quests deftly navigate moral issues without being heavy-handed or offering obvious solutions

    Through it all, much as in The Witcher 2, Geralt usually plays the role of just another character on this troubled world's stage. In the process, this tale of monster slaying and inter-dimensional raiders becomes strangely and poignantly relatable.

    I'd argue the Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever made. Its writing and micro narratives are so far ahead of its piers it's frankly depressing. It stands as a testament to the skill of CDProjekt Red devs who deeply know and love their craft and allow you to have fun while experiencing war, racism and female sexuality a with a meaningful narrative and haven't devolved into catering and pandering for the masses, leaving the players reflecting on the Witcher world for years to come, as opposed to some jokes of games masquerading as RPGs that will choke to death on 3 pounds of steel.    … Expand

    Game is challenging as I play on harder difficulty but it is rewarding to learn the combat mechanics - New people to the game might struggle a bit but take the time to study and learn the tactic and you will love it.

    Regarding the visuals, It is really impressive - I was a bit disappointed in the sense that I expected a better lighting system but still it's worth any penny I paid the game for. It is not that demanding compared to the 2 in is time.

    I play on Ultra at 1440p with a sli gtx 970 setup - i7 4790K - 16gb ram and I cruise at 58-60 fps on a Rog Swift g sync monitor. AWESOME I am really impress with textures on armors and clothes and the faces are really detailed

    bugs: some but who can name a game that as not? some NPC popping - nights a bit too bright - some stutter - thats about it on what I saw so far after maybe 15 hours - so nothing that won't be fix soon.

    Purchase this game if you like RPG - It is just a no brainer

    Advice: Just take your time - I don't even intend to do all quests - I pick the ones I feel fit my Witcher - the others will be in another playthrough - rushing this game or power levelling is a shame to do. Just don't

    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.
