    Wow, oh wow, this game is still so amazing in 2023. (DX12 patch 4.0 I played on). Such a blast. Combat actually gives you a choice of how to play and not simply the "illusion" of a choice like so many other games. Story is great (if you appreciate it) and there is just so much to do!
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    Лучшая игра, в которую я когда либо играл. CDPR - Вы большие молодцы!
    Спасибо и Сапковскому за этот прекрасный мир. Я уже прочитал 3 книги первые, прошел все части Ведьмака ( и даже то приключение на телефоне с геймплеем Гвинта)

    Awesome game. Game of the decade?

Hell no, it's full of euro-jank and character movement and animations are nowhere near the level of Red Dead Redemption, but there's a level of agency to be found in this game that existed nowhere else at the time. Combat is incredibly "of the time" consisting of hit, roll, and dodge mechanics reminiscent of Assassin's Creed. This system leaves so much to be desired considering the implementation of potions and concoctions that were barely utilized, even on the Blood and Broken Bones difficulty. The graphics are also nothing to sneeze at. Released in 2015, this game still gives more graphically intense titles a run for their money. Add that to an open world, brilliant quest design, and characters with multiple levels of depth to them and you've gotten yourself a title that punches way above what was expected of it, judging by the previous. Side quests also play a large role in The Witcher 3, which is great because side quests are where this game shines. Due to multiple choices which lead to multiple outcomes, each playthrough of The Witcher 3 is different. Some side quests even surpass those that are essential to the main story with their intricacies and decisions driven pathways. Ultimately The Witcher 3 is a game to own, or at least a game to experience. The player driven choice aspect is enough to entice the curiosity of many a gamer. Is it as good as most publications would leave you to believe? No, not at all. But it is a game worth getting lost in. A game you'll play and lose track of time with. Even a title you'll find yourself returning to year after year because of the quality that lies underneath it's many flaws.… Expand

    There are very few games that have the ability to capture a player's heart and soul quite like Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. As a yearly ritual, I find myself compelled to return to this enchanting world, and with each playthrough, my admiration for this work of art only grows.

    The most captivating aspect of Witcher 3 is undoubtedly its story. The narrative is rich and engaging, weaving a complex tapestry of characters and plotlines that keep you enthralled throughout the game. The attention to detail in every quest is simply astonishing, and the depth of emotion conveyed by each character is unmatched. The game effortlessly delves into themes of love, loss, and redemption, resulting in a story that resonates deeply with its players.

    However, a great story alone does not make a game outstanding. Witcher 3's gameplay is meticulously crafted to complement the narrative, offering an experience that is tailor-made for THE Witcher. Every aspect of the gameplay loop and character development is designed to immerse you in the world that the developers have so painstakingly created, making it impossible not to become fully invested in Geralt's journey.

    The combat, exploration, and RPG elements are all seamlessly integrated, allowing players to experience the game in a way that feels entirely authentic. Each element of the gameplay, from the potion brewing and monster hunting to the choices you make in dialogues, is carefully aligned with the lore and the story that the game is trying to tell. This level of commitment to immersion is what sets Witcher 3 apart from other games in the genre.

    From the hauntingly beautiful opening scene in White Orchard to the poignant moments shared with Yennefer in Corvo Bianco, Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is a game that I will continue to play and cherish year after year. It is a true testament to the power of storytelling in gaming and a shining example of what can be achieved when developers pour their heart and soul into a project. If you have not yet experienced this masterpiece, I cannot recommend it highly enough.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 was barely out before being hyped as the absolute pinnacle of RPG-gaming, a must play for everyone & you needn’t bother playing Witcher 1 or 2 before playing 3. Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game? Those who say these things clearly haven’t played many video games, not to mention RPGs, let aloneThe Witcher 3 was barely out before being hyped as the absolute pinnacle of RPG-gaming, a must play for everyone & you needn’t bother playing Witcher 1 or 2 before playing 3. Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game? Those who say these things clearly haven’t played many video games, not to mention RPGs, let alone Witcher 1&2, which are both far better than Witcher 3

    Its biggest sin is being an open-world game. They did this to compete with games like Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014’s GOTY) & Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (2011’s GOTY). Too much time was spent on building this massive world that not much thought was given on how they would fill it. It was empty & incredibly tedious to trek across the map between missions. You’ve done wrong when the player chooses to fast travel everywhere rather than go on foot. You’re also forced to find a sign post in order to fast travel, you can’t just do it from the map. An open world usually means cutting meaningful quests & characters, which Witcher 3 did in spades; the biggest being no Scoia’tael/Iorveth. In addition, the AI chatter was enough to make me go mad; the same lines repeated over & over w/ the same voices. I can say them in my sleep. The cutscenes were supposed to be Dandelion but for some reason aren’t done by his voice actor, the guy doesn’t even sound close.

    The combat is atrocious, when you feel that the better option is to hack, slash & roll like a ballerina rather than use tactics because the enemies aren’t known for their brains. The use of potions/oils was practically nonexistent until halfway through because you don’t get the crafting diagrams & by then you’ve learned to cope w/o so you don’t even remember that you can now use them. Meditation is not to make potions but to reload your stock using alcohol in your inventory. Tutorials would have been immensely helpful rather than a block of text you’ll never remember. Negotiation is senseless, “A bit high… We’re almost there.” The upgrade system is a complete joke. What’s the point in investing in skills when you can only use a few? Getting to level 30 you can use 12 skills and yet I had many more! You literally need to use a slot in order to have food/drink heal you over time! What? That was just a given in the other games.

    The story absolutely requires you to have not only played the first 2 games but that you’ve read the books as well. I can’t imagine what anyone could have gotten out of this game otherwise. But even though I had the knowledge of the whole story, I felt this game’s story was super weak. They were trying to tell too much & pull in the worst parts of Sapkowski’s books. The first 2 games felt like CDPR was adding to the story of The Witcher and telling their own tale, they weren’t just making the books a game, rather they continued Geralt’s tale a few years after the books. But with this game, it felt the complete opposite. They were now pulling everything they could from the last 2 books (which were awful) & pulling phrases & jokes from every form of entertainment in the real world. It seriously hurt the story. The idea of Ciri traveling between worlds, including our own is just stupid, they could have rewritten something so much better. Instead what was once a dark fantasy is now science fiction. It was very obvious that they had a completely different writer this time around.

    Despite calling itself an RPG, there were no significant choices in this game. Sure there were 3 different endings for Ciri’s fate but as to how those endings were decided, it was a couple small things in conversations rather than actual decisions. It really makes you feel good when you read the wiki and see ‘You can choose whatever you want here, it makes no difference to the story.’ When a choice cutscene would randomly pop up, it felt more like a whoops we forgot to give this meaning so here’s a choice that sucks either way.

    The game is at 4.02 & still buggy. The choice scenes are at a far lower volume than the rest of the game, it’s a miracle if you can hear them w/o subsequently blowing your eardrums out when it switches back to the actual game. There is so much clipping, things disappearing from NPC’s hands or hovering in front of them, animals including Roach would appear in the middle of a conversation with an NPC, etc. What exactly did they fix?

    Now how can we talk about Witcher 3 w/o mentioning the card game Gwent? What a truly horrendous, time-wasting addition. It was clearly there to pad out the game time. You’re forced into your first game to ‘learn’ the directions & I came away no wiser as how to play. All Gwent did was make me miss dice poker.

    In the main game alone, I completed 141 quests in 104.8 hours. I would only recommend for the serious Witcher fan b/c all I can say is thank the Eternal Fire I’m done, I’m headed back to Witcher 1&2    … Expand

А саундтрек усиливает эти и без того острые ощущения, идеально гармонируя с происходящим на экране.
    Каждый , даже второстепенный квест, сделан с любовь и в ручную.

    Good game. Too bad Geralt movements are so bad. He feels so slow and heavy, like he ate a million burger and everytime he turn left or right, its like he is trying the 45 degrees bending of Michael Jackson. Absolute garbage. If only he moved quick and natural like in Elden ring then Witcher 3 would be a 9/10 easy.
    Hopefully the devs learn how to create proper character movements for Witcher 4..

    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.
