    Without a doubt my favourite game of all time. Completed the main story after 76 hours, and I still have countless hours left of playtime with the 2 massive DLCs, the hundreds of side quests, and the new game + feature.

    First and foremost, I'd like to thank Mr. Andrzej Sapkowski for his Witcher book series that served as inspiration for all the Witcher games. Dziękuję bardzo!

    Also, READ THE BOOKS BEFORE PLAYING THE GAME! Or at least find someone who has read them to give you detailed summary of the plot and events in the book series.

    -----

    Just as the W2, Wild Hunt works best as a story-oriented action adventure. The universe, lore, characters, story and dialogues are simply great. The gameplay is average to above-average and when judged from this perspective, Witcher 3 isn't really memorable game.

    The combat is too simplistic, but still fun. RPG elements are way too primitive (I don't consider any Witcher game to be an 'RPG'), the world's too big and exploring it feels somewhat dull. The main problem with W3 is that it gets repetitive and predictable too soon. Almost all quests go like this: talk to NPC -> use Witcher sense (which is INCREDIBELY dumb ability from both lore and gameplay perspective) -> fight with generic enemies -> (repeat 2 times) -> get a reward. Enjoyable at first, pretty dumb and boring after a while. Same logic applies for other aspects of the game.

    Witcher 3 has great story, universe and characters. But apart from that it's just well-crafted modern open-world game - enjoyable but lacking any deeper gameplay value. Nothing more, nothing less.

    ------

    Again, GO READ THE BOOKS FIRST.    … Expand

    An amazing action/fantasy/RPG made all the more better by allowing me to finish off the story of some of my favourite novels and characters. Played game of the year version with DLC which is plenty for your money.

Side quests are abundant and the level up system works. Weapons and armor are hidden all over several massive free roam maps and if you cant be bothered searching just make your own, then theirs alchemy, potions, decoctions, oils and it doesn't stop there. The main quests are interesting and told very well through great voice acting. For an open world RPG this game is worth every penny and when completed there are also 2 expansion packs, i would recommend blood and wine.… Expand

    The Witcher 3 is the best game of all time. It has one of the biggest worlds I've ever seen, yet every inch of it is carefully crafted to feel unique and not copy and pasted.

    One of the best games I have ever played, period.
    This is one of those rare games that does almost everything right... Gaming devs everywhere need to look at CDPR, and learn.
    Amazing story, well-developed NPCs, stunning graphics and music... Witcher 3 set a benchmark in 2015 that won't be beaten for a very long time to come.

    It is not perfect, and it reminds more often than it should of a Game Of Thrones GTA. But the great writing, inventive Quest structure and the weight of your decisions make for a game for the ages. A story that I'll remember dearly, full of beloved characters and stories to tell.

I recently started my 5th playthrough and still discover thing i missed in my first 5 playthroughs. The Witcher 3 it's story and it's dialogs are absolutely mind blowing. The way the implemented romances and Geralt's sarcams are pure geniusly. The witcher 3's gameplay is really smooth and surprisingly easy actually. Making a game with sword fights can be very tricky, yet they nailed it! If everything isn't already perfect, then gwent definitely is the finishing touch. Making a perfect game in en even better game is out of this world!

    Conclusion: The Witcher 3 is an absolute mastercrafted masterpiece.

    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 Ever
    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. The points of interest and secondary wuests scattered around the world feel organic, and the people who give you the quests genuinely feel in need, and make you want to help them.

    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.
