    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.

    One of the best RPGs I've ever played . Amazing story and interesting Characters set in a huge world with lots of side quests and monster contracts.
    Beautiful graphics and very detailed character models.
    Combat is very well-done (even on horse) .
    Amazing and Captivating soundtrack.

    -There haven't been much bugs (if at all) and everything was updated fast

    Now the cons:
    -The control is a little odd with keyboard and mouse (can easily be fixed by connecting a controller to the PC).
    -The cut-scenes are rendered real time and are uglier than the game itself (I don't know why).
    -The mouth doesn't move perfectly with the speech. Facial expressions are sometimes a little off.

    This is definitely the best game of 2015 so far (but fallout 4 hasn't come out yet so that can still change).    … Expand

I was worried Witcher 3 was going to lose something in going open world, much like Inquisiton did. I was worried it wouldn't live up to my hopes, dreams, and imagination. I'm happy to say it did. The only things that hinder the game are the inevitable glitches of an open world game, and minor issues. Interacting with the environment objects when trying to loot, Roach not wanting to go over bridges, and difficulty looting because your not in the exact right spot. The quest have not devolved into "Collect 5 of these" like Inquisiton somewhat did. Many complained about Inquisiton that the opening area was large, and all subsequent areas varied from slightly smaller to much smaller. Witcher 3 does the opposite. The opening area is relatively small. My first thought was, " Oh **** Im going to blow through this in a week if it's this small. Then as soon as I finished the starting area I realized how immense the world was, and how filled it was with things to do. Every quest has character and importance to the local populace. I can go on for hours. Or at least an hour or two. The simplest way to put it is that this is the greatest Role Playing Game created to date. A must play for anyone who enjoys RPG's. CDProjekt accomplished what they set out to do. Now they just have to clean up the bugs, create some good DLC, and hopefully begin working on their next masterpiece.… Expand

The Witcher 3 is exquisite, like looking at a beautiful woman (which there are a few of in the game) you cannot take your eyes off it. The story is captivating and memorable, it invokes feelings that I feel no other game can and takes you on a emotional roller-coaster. The characters are very relatable from the witty remarks of Dandelion to the sweetness of Triss to the fire of Yennifer you go through the game and develop relationships with the characters so that you can relate to them in more ways than one. It also does something that many games fear to tread... it is truthful to the world, with aspects of racism and prosecution, to abuse and sexism its all there but the good thing is that it does it tastefully and in ways that are subtle and dont offend the player.

    The world is perfect and huge. So vibrant and immersive. The graphics (even on consoles) are amazing in the RPG genre. Characters are interesting. Everything has meaning.

    Great game, you play it like you read a good book. The picture is beautiful, and along with the soundtrack it creates unique atmosphere and immersion.
    There were some initial probles with character controlling, and e.g. lack of personal chest to store loot in, but they were (at least partially) fixed in the patches.
    Really good, solid game.

Story, characters, lore, game world, graphics, side questing, gameplay, audio, overall production: you name it, Witcher 3 has it all.

    Yes, some aspects of the game aren't the absolute best in the gaming world (combat for example is still far from being as good as Souls game, but is much improved over previous entries in the series and doesn't impair the player in any way; difficulty gets much lower the more you progress; once you have access to the Witcher gear looting loses some meaning) but the overall package is mind-bogglingly good.

    There's plenty of much better reviews about the game, so I'll just highlight 2 things that impressed me the most:

    1) Side quests. It's just absurd how despite many of them starting in about the same fashion (Geralt helping people out), every single one of them is so good it makes you wonder why former RPGs couldn't present such good content outside of their main quest. Pretty much every side quest manages to tell a different story, covering different themes in a meaningful and thought provoking way, and presenting different situations, while never, EVER being about just fetch-questing or other MMO-ish/hollow activities (there are some activities of that nature, 'treasure hunts', but you'll just skip those, or embark in them if you need some cash; it's for those who love looting and exploring, think of TES games).

    2) Game world. This is easily the biggest and most credible world created in a video game. NPCs have their own schedule, lives, and activities. They react to the environment, they talk with each other; other games have done that, but it never felt to me like they're actually part of the world. The map is absolutely huge, but is so rich in details I found myself stopping in my tracks and looking around like every 10 minutes, in the less relevant places . And my goodness, Novigrad is insane, it's like a real goddamn city, bustling with any sort of activity.

    Overall, doesn't matter what kind of RPG you're fond of (Bethesda's sandboxy approach, Bioware's focus on characters etc), Witcher 3 is an RPG for the ages, something you must play if you're a fan of the genre.    … Expand

Unlike traditional good-neutral-bad response systems it creates dynamic paths you can create that shape the story and change major plot-points in meaningful ways.

    Aside from being given almost total control of the path you choose, it also has a great combat system. At lower difficulties it's easy to mash a button to win, but if you truly desire a challenge turn that difficulty up. It forces you to change your strategies for enemies and fully utilize your skill system and timings for attacks.

    And lastly, it looks amazing. Granted, PC's have a ton more horsepower than most consoles but when those settings are turned up the game blows you away. I feel like I did playing Crysis at Ultra settings 7 years ago, so utterly blown away by how real certain textures look when compared to other AAA titles like Dragon Age: Inquisition. Layered clothing looks real, swords look like swords. Nothing blown out of proportion and made to be as accurate as possible within the bounds of the supposed time-frame the world is set in.

    Gameplay - 9/10
    Beautiful world giving many opportunities for the player. We can explore caves, forests, mountains, helping peoples and doing much more things. The map is 30 times bigger than in the previous part. Crafting and Alchemy are more important, we also can upgrade swords, armors and signs. These sandbox gives many, many opportunities. Fight feeling is pleasant. Sometimes we are blocking on a small obstacle but in comparison to other games it is not very annoying.

    Characters - 10/10
    Each character has its own charm. Characters are well matched to the storyline and to the environment. We can decide who will be our enemy and who is our friend. We also can choose the path of the main character. Character (mainly Geralt's) and monsters doing really great feeling, details are amazing.

    Graphics in this game is amazing. Even the smallest details are well refined, for example when we move the grass moves with us. Graphics capabilities used in 100%. The movement of water clouds are very well refined, falling leaves, changing weather make a huge impression.

    Music and ambient sounds in this game is great fits. We can listen medieval music which is selected for each moment of the game. Animals noises are natural. The monsters sounds are really threatening. Character voices are well selected and fit into personalities.

Until now -every single- open world game (I'm looking at you TES, DAI) suffers from boring, unscripted, often dialog-less side quests ranging from "go kill this" to "go fetch that". In Witcher3 practically every single side quest I have encountered, and make no mistake there are a LOT of them, has not only had scripted dialog but often has fully fleshed out stories filled with plot twists and interesting characters. This is contrasted with the latest Dragon Age game in which pretty much every side quest was a piece of paper you read off the ground that directs you to go loot a chest or kill something, without even a word of dialog. How the devs managed such detail is beyond me, it's an absolutely outstanding accomplishment.

    The graphics were "downgraded" for consoles a little bit, sure, but the game still is the best looking rpg I have ever played, and I found the framerate to be optimized very well, which is something people often overlook. I can run everything on Ultra (except Hairworks) with my old 7970 and maintain >50 fps. I just don't get the 100 negative reviews on here. No other open world game even comes CLOSE to Witcher 3. Looking through those reviews these morons are giving the game 1/10 because they don't like the controls (which are fine), or they claim the graphics are not "great", even though no other open world game comes close in this regard.

    This is the game that will be used as comparison to the many AAA titles that are to follow. They will compare these games to Witcher 3, and point out their shortcomings, and how Witcher 3, a game released long ago in 2015, did so many things right when the others couldn't.

    Not many games are worth a perfect score. The nearer you get to that perfect 10, the more minor flaws you spot that will be just enough to drag a game to the 9/10. But witcher's 3 shortcomings are so few, so tiny, that I can't possibly take a whole point off the score just for their sake.

    Some people may not agree with this. For some, the combat is a bit disappointing, enough to take a point or two, tops. Some others might be pissed at other aspects, such as graphics? I really don't know. Most reviews seem to be positive. This alone is a testament to how good this game is. Even if the combat disappoints you, even if you don't like the story it's not enough to make this game bad. There can't be a perfect game for everyone, naturally.

    I myself found everything good in this game. I kept hoping that they wouldn't mess it up, and they didn't. CD Projekt has secured its position with this game.
    The graphics are amazing. I keep stopping to stare at the sceneries. So much detail in the game's world. The story is amazing. It has its slow-paced moments, but in its entirety, it's a superb story of a really likeable fella on his great quest to find his missing 'daughter' and save his world. The combat is amazing. I loved being outnumbered by drowners and having to combine witcher magic, positioning and swordsmanship to narrow their numbers while trying to dodge their claws. And I loved outmaneuvering and stepping just out of reach that Wild Hunt general's frenzied attacks.

    This review isn't born out of a just-purchased play session hype. I have played this game for a while now and it kept me entertained throughout. I wrote this review when I was sure my feelings for this game were clear. And they are.

    A true crown jewel of gaming. Game of the Year.    … Expand

    Let me preface this by saying that TW3 is my first Witcher game. Even though I knew next to nothing about the lore, CD Projekt has done a great job of fleshing out the characters and the history of this troubled land, all of which are tied together by a superbly written story.

Even though I knew next to nothing about the lore, CD Projekt has done a great job of fleshing out the characters and the history of this troubled land, all of which are tied together by a superbly written story.

    The main characters of the story are complex and brought to life by well-written dialogue and excellent voice-acting. Denise Gough deserves special commendation for bringing out Yennefer’s condescending and fiery personality. Doug Cockle’s signature gruff voice as Geralt is always a pleasure to listen to, though if I had to make one criticism it would be that he needs a little more emotional range.

    More importantly, TW3 attaches a great deal of importance to the decisions the player makes. And boy, there are LOTS of decisions to make, from deciding whether to spare the life of a criminal left to die by the sea, to deciding who to romance. Sometimes, the consequences of these choices are not obvious, but I always had the sense that what I was doing in the world had repercussions, big or small. Choices made early in the game could potentially have far-reaching consequences 40 hours of playtime later, and it was a joy to carefully consider the various options the game presented to me.

    TW3 also has one of the best soundtracks a videogame has ever had. I believe this was the first time, after finishing a game, I went to Google the OST in the hopes of downloading it. The various tracks are perfectly suited to whatever is happening at that instant, whether you are exploring the rolling meadows of Ard Skellige or fighting off a gang of drowners.

    My only gripe with the game is character progression. Each time you gain a level, you get a skill point to invest in various “traits” that improve your Signs, physical combat or alchemy. I found most of these traits to be uninteresting. While they certainly improved my combative ability, they were simply unexciting numerical bonuses e.g. to attack damage. While some traits unlocked new modes of fighting (e.g. a different way of using your Signs), these were generally unimaginative. A similar criticism can be made of the loot – again, getting better weapons/armour simply means getting weapons that have better numerical stats. Despite this criticism, I am still giving the game a 10 because the story, characters and soundtrack more than make up for its flaws.    … Expand

    -Dialog - Some of the best and varied since Mass Effect
    -Graphics - Rivaling the best of games granted your PC is up for the task.
    -Quest variety - The best I've seen in an RPG. A few quest groups, but each with their own deep story and detail. The game is a little 'hand-holdy' in terms of quest markers and such; I'm unaware of an remove marker feature. This is certainly no deterrent. I wouldn't mind a little more urgency in-game while side-questing to keep it exciting. Something akin to a timer to get certain main-quest objectives completed before X happens. Would help with the immersion.
    -Loot - All loot in the game is used for various crafting, and all special gear sets can be upgraded a few times to continue enjoying them as you level up.
    -You see your decisions through the game intertwine with stories further in!

    Play this and you will not regret it. The Witcher 3 plays a lot on relationships that have already been established in previous 2 games so I would recommend at least playing Witcher 2 first (A stellar game on its own) as it'll help you with immersion into the world. Thanks.    … Expand

    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

Then, about a year ago, I bought it through steam, thinking what the hell, I want an RPG/Adventure and I tried it. I was caught up in the game immediately. Even the cutscenes are a pleasure to watch.

    This game does so many things right - even to the perfection I claim. For example every character has a backstory. Without giving away spoilers, imagine you find a potential treasure, a dead body and a letter nearby. Read it and you will learn the poor bastard was tricked or possibly robbed underway, often a sad story but it gives you clue where to find the real treasure - which was a gift to his new bride to be waiting for him to show up. So now you have a background story and a clue to a treasure. It's so well doe, each and every time again.

    Of course the game has a few negatives, but they are so insignificant I almost didn't write them down, but here they go: first of all lot of gear you pick up is useless. Think of swords and armor. It's just to sell them for money. Actually I should say it it a reverse way; too little gear is useful. You only have to settle with a relative few sets of gears and the rest is scrap. The second and final complaint is the availability of rare herbs and materials is too low. And when you need them you have no clue where to look for in this huge (!) land, so you are forced to resort to answers on a forum by fellow players. I consider it a bit of cheating but you won't have a choice. That's all the negativity I have to share.

    If you love or like RPG/Adventure games then this is it. Not to mention the phenomenal sounds and music, graphics are to drool over, aaah I'm getting crazy lol! And finally there's tons of content, meaning you won't be finished for a long long time. If that's not all, there are endless mods available, I used about 13 of them.

    I wanted to write more good stuff but forgot what it was. So you know what, buy it will ya? Oh, now I remember: the follow-up add-on games, Blood and Wine and Heart of Stone are awesome to. Honestly, buy them immediately. Especially Heart of Stone is well integrated as you can use Heart of Stone as a major (!) side quest. Blood and Wine is for the more experienced player who finished the original quests first.

    So,if you have a beating hart, you must buy, unless you have a Heart of Stone. In that case go to hell... :)

    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.

I upgraded my system and went back to the game, but I was rusty and forgot a lot of the systems. The first time I played I powered through on a lot of the main story quests. My character was not well developed and I was broke. Since it has been about a year since I seriously played the game I went back and started from the very beginning. This time I focused on doing all the side quests and taking my time to explore all the corners of the map. I spent time learning how to properly play the card game gwent. I focused on my skill builds and using the mutagens and matching them up. I made the different types of oils and studied the weaknesses of the beasts I would face and the best tactics. I'm at level 12 right now and I haven't even left velen yet. This time through I am seeing tons of side quests and story I missed. The side quest stories are almost as good as the main quest stories. I am totally hooked on gwent this time around and play every npc I can find and am always asking merchants if they have any gwent cards for sale. The level of detail in this game is incredible. From the slow motion kill scenes to watching a enemy you just killed fall into the water and then float back up to the surface or watching an enemy who has just collapse to the ground slowly bleed out leaving a puddle of blood. The stories are phenomenal. Your decisions impact what happens later. Even minor side quests will have me running into people later on who want to talk about the decisions I made. If you like adventure games then this is certainly worth a look even though its an rpg. The graphics are great with some gorgeous scenery. There are some minor downsides. Sometimes combat can be a bit frustrating and could be a bit more fluid. The background music got annoying to the point where I have turned it off. It is fine at first, but after awhile it becomes a bit much. I haven't gotten the expansion and a second expansion is coming up at the end of this month. Right now I am still in the base game and there is a massive amount of game left for me to explore. Hands down this is a quality game and if you have even a passing interest in an immersive rpg then don't even hesitate. Just get this game now. The amount of content is enough to keep anyone busy for months. Just keep in mind that this game is no fairy tale. In fact the game can be quite dark and at times you may make decisions that you think are for the best and much like real life things just go sideways and can't foresee the consequences. Best advice I can give about this game is just take your time and go slow. Explore every area and learn about every system in the game. You don't need to have played the prior games to catch up on the story. Would it add to your pleasure knowing the full back story? I'm sure but it does not seem necessary. The game kinda fills you in on what happened before. I own Witcher 2 and I played it for a bit, but the controls were soo horrible that I just did not get very far into the story. Witcher 3 has a much better control system. This is one of the best games I have picked up in years.… Expand

    As you grow older, stories which you cannot stop thinking on are coming more rarely in your life. This game (and its extension) is a marvelous mountain from this kind of quality. If you are sensible enough, you will laugh, cry, feel disgust, worry and love. I have never met such an achievement during my 30+ years of gaming. Thank you for this amazing experience.

    Games are constantly being rushed out of development, requiring day-one patches and review embargoes to save dying developing and publishing teams from going belly-up, or resort to cutting half the content of the game and selling the rest as Downloadable Content.

    Fan entitlement is at an all-time high, creating unimaginable hype for games that would've otherwise been acceptably good games in the past, deemed bad because it didn't live up to its hype.

    Reviewer integrity is under threat, so much so that customers are beginning to only trust customer reviews rather than reviewer reviews. Even the customer review system is being abused by people who'd give a game a 10/10 "to offset the 0's" and 0/10's "to offset the 10's".

    So among all of this sludge, it's nice to see a game developing team that's transparent about delays and issues and sees that if you take care in your work and don't do it just for the money, you can make something to be proud of and still come home a bit richer (as of mid 2015, it nearly doubled its budget in profit).

    When people'll discuss whether video games could be considered an art form, this game will be front line and centre as an example. CD Projekt Red found a way to create the perfect storm of RPG elements, combat, and story and character development.

    Every character, no matter how insignificant, is given a backstory. Every side quest is given full dialogue. Every main quest delves not only into the backstory of our main characters, but even the people you didn't know about prior. The dialogue flows naturally, creating a level of immersion you get from watching an episode of Game of Thrones. In fact, if CD Projekt Red simply made Witcher 3 into a TV show and just used the cutscenes from the game, it'd be one of the most popular shows on now.

    And when you least expect it, they throw in an awesomely addicting card game that's simple to play, but a fair challenge to get a good deck.

    What else is there to say? If you haven't gotten it yet, go on GOG and pick it up, most likely on sale. $80 is well worth the price of this game. Hell, if it cost $150, it'd still be worth it.    … Expand

All of the quests are very interesting and unique although later on some of the quests might seem repetitive. There is really a lot of things to do and every part of the map feels unique and well thought out. The game play and mechanics are really polished and responsive, and every fights seems interesting and amazing, i had a lot of fights were i thought i will die, but as soon as you figure out how can you counter enemy you will be set to go. Now the only bad thing about this game i didn't like is the fast travel markers, i thought that some of the markers was either put too close to one another or too far from each other.

    Having set all of this, i really think that The Witcher 3 deserves all the awards that it got, because the game is truly a marvel. The story in this game is really great and unique, although ending was so good and feels kinda rushed. The world itself is very unique filed with lore and monsters from Slavic folklore. This game is true RPG and feels like Mass Effect and Dragon Age had a baby with only the good features. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves a good book, because as you play you feel like you are the protagonist of a very good novel.    … Expand

(I hadn't played the first two games and I enjoyed it thoroughly) It is rare for a game to deliver so much on every aspect. I am confident that The Witcher 3 will be regarded as one of the best games of the decade and will serve as a hallmark for future games in the genre.

    The Witcher 3 is the ultimate culmination of the fantasy franchise. It is a result of the continued hard work of a small Polish studio that listened to the feedback of the community and aimed only to deliver the product that the fans wanted. With every next game they used the profits from the previous one to bring the franchise to a higher level. This is what The Witcher 3 is: a full-fledged experience resulting from the hard work and clever investment of CD Project Red. This is, without a doubt, the best money proposition of 2015.

    The game contains 150-200 hours of quality gameplay: All characters are interesting and well written, The quests are unique and entertaining; The combat is fluid and at the higher difficulty demands skill and concentration; The graphics are stunning while not too taxing; The music is enchanting and authentic; The voiceo-vers are delivered professionally and cast correctly; There is an incentive for multiple playthroughs as there are many branching quests and a single action may sometimes lead to the death of a main character, there are also a few endings.

    Overall, the game does not lack in any department and will keep both loyal fans and newcomers to the franchise interested in the story and sympathizing with the characters.    … Expand

    If someone was to ask me what my favorite game this year was (even though there are still six weeks left before 2016, and at least one more game that I am interested in will be released this year), it has to be this one.

    This is actually my second review... I deleted the first one, as I just started my second playthrough. I got the game when it first came out, finished it and had a blast, enjoying it tremendously.
    I wasn't sure how much replay value this would have, but starting another playthrough, I realize it's almost as much fun as the first time, even though you know the reveals etc. I will make different choices this time, seeing how much things will change when I do.
    In a nutshell:
    - Graphics are beautiful and very atmospheric, and the game is well optimized. I have an i7 4790, 16 gigs of RAM, a GTX 960 with 4 GB RAM. The first time I played this, I still had a GT730, and even with that card, I was able to play the game and it looked nice. With the 960, it's even more beautiful.

    - The soundtrack is totally awesome IMO

    - Difficulty ofc depends on what you pick, but I thought it was fun, challenging without being unfair. You will need to do some research (in game) on the different kind of monsters, using oils and stuff, and figuring out what you'll be fighting (contracts) is very cool... I love that moment when I know what I am fighting, meditate, go to the haunted spot and hear the monster approach.

    - This game has some AMAZING writing. The characters are sometimes quite mysterious, and IMO not as cliche as you see in so many other games. They might be evil, but often have a soft spot, or a reason for their behaviour, or do something unexpected. So many dramatic stories here, and the storyline in general is VERY well-written

    - So much stuff to do. Some of it can be a tiny bit grindy, but on my first playthrough, I did pretty much every bit of side-content until I eventually moved ahead and focussed more on the story.

    - No glitches, no crashes, only one bugged event (Geralt drew a sword, but it wasnt in his hand, so I didn't do any damage. Happened ONCE)

    - The atmosphere... omg, it's hard to explain really. I have no idea why but the world of the Witcher, the setting, the landscapes and towns captivated me right away. There is a quite dark and foreboding vibe to the world... riding through the forests at dusk, with rain coming down and the wind blowing... it's SO well done, so very beautiful. MGS, AK, FO4...none of these games captivated me even half as much. I am not sure whether its the graphics, the design, the music, the writing, or a mix of all that, it just sucked me right in.

    - Replayability. I started playing when the game came out, and now, about half a year later, I started another playthrough. And it's FUN. Yes, of course I now know all the big reveals of the main story, but still, it's fun to play it again. Will try a slightly different spec and playstyle this time (because you can eg. focus on swordplay or signs or the other weapons, mix them the way you like. My first build was relying very much on signs, using Igni and mind-controlling enemies).

    - DLC... check out the list of FREE DLC that the devs have added. I was blown away when I reinstalled the game and saw quite a list of free DLC. Some of it minor, some adding quests etc. Plus, the first expansion adds SO much to the game, it's amazing, especially considering the price.

    - Controls are... a bit wonky. Have a bit of that "drunk" feeling, a bit too rough and inaccurate. You eventually get used to it, but compared to games like the Arkham Knight or some of the AC games (and these games have control issues as well, mind you!), it felt a bit too...loose.

    Pros:
    - Graphics and optimization
    - Amount of content
    - Music and sound
    - Story and writing (!!!!)
    - Fights
    - Very mature topics, things you don't have in games too often

    Cons:
    - Lore and stories might be a bit confusing to newcomers to the franchise
    - Same for crafting, inventory management, alchemy
    - Wonky controls, not quite precise enough    … Expand

    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.
