    Easy one of the best games i've ever played. Not flawless but still iconic. Story ( the strongest part of Witcher 3 ) is so awesome, i can barely name games with narration and dialogs that good.

Story ( the strongest part of Witcher 3 ) is so awesome, i can barely name games with narration and dialogs that good. Especially i'd like to point out the postmodern component of it, screenwriters perfectly conveyed the ideas and concepts laid down in the books. Gameplay itself sometimes may seem repetitive, due to scope of the content (all these endless question marks on Skellige) but most of it is optional. At the same time the main quest provides very intense and lush adventure, full of memorable moments and characters.
    Can't find reasons to hate it . 9/10 by far

    Best, game, ever. Easily worth 300+ hours. The main game and two expansions merge seamlessly into a well-designed story. Beautiful art and music make for an unforgettable experience.

Great architecture. Nature - I have no words on this way... Okay, I swear, technically, I think these are not DLC's, those an another games. 70 hours on main campaign I spent. +50h on DLC's. Yea, it's just a game...

    I think the game has gotten a little bit overhyped (not much).

    After playing through Cyberpunk 2077, I wanted to check out what this game was about, and I am able to recognize so many features that Cyberpunk 2077 got supposedly trashed for. Someone said in Cyberpunk 98% of dialogues don't lead to different outcome. Well that's kinda same for Witcher 3 as well. Just like in Cyberpunk

    Just like in Cyberpunk 2077 you're mostly just able to get more information about the quest itself and surrounding areas. Maybe that style of RPG is more suitable for fantasy game where it's more interesting to have talks about fantasy creatures invading your areas than some gang members.

    Another thing was that the leveling system felt kinda boring and there's not really much there to maintain my interest in the game. The quests however and the atmosphere of vast open fields and well crafted dialogues is what is keeping me interested the game.

    I think there's just too many menu tips being shoved at you the same time when you first start the game, especially crafting system. I think for content, this game is 10/10 masterpiece, but for gameplay mechanics, I think this is around 8 category, and sure, maybe too mechanical game would ruin some of the fun in this type of game.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4, Half Life 2 and many more ,just shows how empty and boring game Witcher 3 really is. Not recommending, if you want to have fun.

    9.4 average user score even though there seems to be some sad individuals mass downvoting the game with multiple accounts (just check the dates, many accounts with only 1 review made the same day) is pretty telling. They probably feel personally attacked if someone appreciates an actually thoroughly good game, such as The Witcher 3, over their only-excellent-when-modded-favourite game Skyrim.

    Some people seem to bash the combat, and I'm pretty sure these individuals just went with "red build" and didn't bother delving into the several possible builds which really make a difference on how you approach the combat. It's actually good.

    The game was released in 2015, so the graphics aren't too up to date anymore, but still very beautiful. Luckily there are mods to bump up the graphics quite a bit if your PC can handle it.

    The story and narrative are truly masterclass. You do need to follow and read a lot of well written dialogue and I guarantee it's all worth it if compelling storytelling is what you're after.

    There are so many ways to praise this game .

    But enough of that as I'm sure you can find more of that by other reviewers .

    This game by definition is still 'overated.'

    People are too scared to vocalize that this game has its issues in fear of being downvoted or attacked by fans of this game series .

    Truth is , the combat is lacking .

    You dodge back and strike . You do this again and again .

    Combat becomes boring and a chore .

    The story as described above is well written no doubt but it lacks in good pacing .

    The story fails in pacing as you are bombarded with story after story without having time to digest the stories . It makes the stories unmemorable .

    The story starts off very strong as it hypes you up for an epic journey to find Ciri .

    But it just dissolves into nothing but unnecessarily long talks .

    Yes , the talking in this game is long but the talks aren't very interesting . That is the problem .

    Not going to sugar coat it . Romance in the game is for horny men and is cheap perfume . Not like that is 'bad,' but it somewhat gets old after a while . It is like real life marriage almost . Pretty accurate as some may say .

    The villains in Witcher 3 is terribly cliché . They are the stereotypical bad guys with bulky armor . They aren't that interesting as a whole . There are some villans that are intriguing no doubt though .
    They are so forgettable in general .

    Yes this game is based on a series of books written by Andrzej Sapkowski so CDPR can't do much about the villans other than change the way they are visually portrayed in the game .

    Witcher 3 should have not won GOTY . Games like MGSV should have won as MGSV actually had an epic story and amazing gameplay . Though MGSV comes with its flaws it still does the job better at least in gameplay where Witcher 3 lacks heavily .

    The game is overated and overhyped beyond understand but it indeed deserves the attention but only a fraction of it .

    This is why this review is a mixed score .

    After 4 years, decided to pick it up again, thanx to Steam which offered Tremendous discounts on these games. I first explored The story of Witcher 1, played Witcher 2 along with all side quests, found it good, Then started Witcher 3, did research about good ending, and finished almost every side quest and Question Mark.

    And I am happy to tell..... my opinion about this Franchise has completely changed. Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever created, which puts forward an Amazing Game of Thrones like politics on one side, and a heartwarming Journey of a Witcher- Geralt of Rivia, on the other. The unique thing about this game is the neutral nature of the protagonist, the game allows you to make choices and decide on his behalf not only in Main Quests but also in almost 3/4ths of a hundreds of non-repititive Side Quests this game has to offer, Witcher 3 perfectly demonstrates the feeling of being a contract monster killer despised by the society for its heartless nature ( which it might not be ). This is supplemented by beautiful soundtrack comprising of Folk music which adds charm to almost every kind of scene, be it a fight, romance, celebrations or some tragedy. The well developed characters, the complex chemistry between Geralt, Yennefer and Triss, and the love of Geralt for Ciri ( whom he considers his daughter ) makes it one of the most memorable games ever witnessed. The combat system manages to avoid monotony unlike most of the other RPGs where over repititive combat has always been an atrocious feature. It still astonishes me how this massive game manages to have 76 unique endings, I think no other game has ever pulled it off.

    Besides for some of its horrible glitches and optimisation issues, CD Projekt Red has done a tremendous Job in creating this Flawless Masterpiece, hats off from my side. Can't wait to continue with the DLC which adds almost 50 hrs of content to a game which is already very long. I think it is never late to start exploring its beauty, since this work is beyond its time. I RATE IT 9.7/10

    Good game story-wise, but gameplay is actual garbage. I completed every single quest in starting location and still only level 3. Can't do anything in next location, Vizima is supposed to be for level 5, but 2nd quest already level 9 enemies, which I can't kill... I use counter like potions and right sword...

It is AC bs design and grind fest, side quests mostly uninteresting...

    Combat system:
    - only items matters skill is irrelevant
    - when you attack at the same time, you get damage and you can't parry...
    - parry gets you stunned useless
    - you can evade attacks, but again if you attack at the same time there is nothing you can do and you get damage for free

    Also some enemies don't show in bestiary...

    The open world is in the UbiSoft school of Design, filled with world breaking jank that could srsly ruin some1's immersion. Its like they tried to mix AC and Skyrim in moderate doses, but still failed to find a great balance. Combat feels like its out of a 2005 game. There's still that horse running into a wall thingy there. Really bad.
    The story is pretty good though, with some really well written side quests. This is mainly what stands out for the game. There are a ton of quests to undertake and delve deeper into the lore of the world. This is mainly where the game shines.
    Maybe its just that I played RDR2 b4 this, character movement here feels clunky and unnatural and horse riding here is terrible compared to it. If I played this b4 rdr2 I would probably be acclaiming it like everyone else.
    My overall score would be arnd 5.5, but since meta doesn't do half reviews 6'll HV to do.

If you're thinking this game is going to be a big step up from Witcher 2, you're going to be disappointed. Much of the amateurish jank is still here. Many of the cinematic cutscenes are impressive, really nice music, and some solid sidequests with good variety, but this is really just a 6/10 game with high-ish production values. Expand

To think the huge downgrade CD project RED had, From Witcher III to Cyberpunk 2077. The only negative part i could imagine someone complaining about is its PC controls which are a bit weird and hard to get used to. Other than that the game is a masterpiece.

    Witcher 3 is often praised for it's plot and how player choice impacts it, yet I don't feel like this praise is earned. It has mostly good dialog, interesting and charismatic characters (both leads and minor ones), somewhat effective set-pieces, but the story itself (except for the Velen chapter, which is the only one everyone tends to bring up) is kinda lacklustre. As soon as you get toWitcher 3 is often praised for it's plot and how player choice impacts it, yet I don't feel like this praise is earned. It has mostly good dialog, interesting and charismatic characters (both leads and minor ones), somewhat effective set-pieces, but the story itself (except for the Velen chapter, which is the only one everyone tends to bring up) is kinda lacklustre. As soon as you get to Novigrad, plot treads start abruptly appearing only to lead pretty much nowhere and leave no real consequence (witch hunts, Radovid, gangs), pacing is off and characters start to crack up with small inconsistencies (mainly, Dandelion). These issues will be alleviated with Skellige's focused side plot and soft mental reset granted by the new map, but after Battle at Kaer Morhen they kick back in like an obstinate mule with a newfound force of rushing to conclude broad plot threads that shouldn't've been there in the first place. Sprinkled with some awful resolutions of essential story arks (Dijkstra, Avallac'h) and absolutely pathetic main villain - you got a really, really mixed bag of a plot, which is mostly remembered well for the Velen chapter everyone was so blow away by.

    My other criticisms of Witcher 3 are much less controversial: combat is too basic for such a long game, character progression inclines to highly specialise in a few from already not that many options, and enemies rarely require you to step out of that chosen specialisation. Loot system is garbage (literally). Alchemy is a double edged sword: I really appreciate that consumables replenish (it's one of the best design choices in the game), but being able to pop a decoctions whenever you want really takes away from the planning gameplay, while knowing his enemy and preparing accordingly should be one of the key witcher's abilities. And the worst offender is the dumbed down, streamlined and formulaic, almost automatic in nature gameplay loop that became pure torture towards last ten ours of my playthrough. Witcher Sense is one of the most overused and non-engaging mechanics I've ever encountered in a videogame.

    None of what I just said renders the game unplayable or even not fun, it's just really uninspired, mediocre and lacks coherent brave vision.

    The real beauty of Witcher 3, what I consider the reason people fell in love with this game, the strength of CDPR that came to be the highlight even in the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077, is the world and atmosphere. Novigrad is the best videogame city I've ever been to, you won't find more lifelike countryside than White Orchard, everything in this game looks stylish, feels evocative, sounds enthralling and plays damn immersively, even with all the grudges I hold agains it. I might not had the best gaming experience, but it was a great time - time, spent as Geralt of Rivia in wondrous, magical and dangerous lands.

    To sum it all up, Witcher 3 is a mediocre open world action RPG, that stole the industry spotlight for all the wrong reasons, but you won't regret loosing yourself in it for a hundred hours.

    This is CD Project Red Magnum Opus, the graphics are astounding, the setpieces are amazing, the world feels alive, all the cities, residents, farmers, monsters, everything seems to be there for a reason and because of it the immersion on this world is instant.
    The characters are timeless, even those that you might not like have a backstory that makes you understand them at least. The side characters? they have the same treatment! The villains? they have the same too! Nothing and no one was created in this game just to be there! The voice acting is spot on! I can hear their voices even when I read the books.
    The story is really intriguing and if never played a witcher game, saw the series or read the books, it don't matter, they give enough information to make you not feel lost and at the same time not too much to feel overwhelmed.
