    At the moment I have played exactly 84 hours in this game. I have been playing this game for more than two years and can’t finish it at all. I don’t know what is the reason, but I go into this game only for a certain mood.

    Dlho som váhal či si to kúpiť alebo nie. A nakoniec som sa rozhodol že to predsa len skúsim a neľutujem. Witcher 3 je podľa mňa najlepšia RPG hra. Prepracovaný herný svet a príbeh, proste kvalitná hra.
    Toto čo dokázal CDPR sa dlho nikomu a žiadnej hernej spoločnosti nepodarí prekonať ešte veľmi dlho. A dokonca si trúfnem povedať že prekonať to môže jedine CDPR s nejakým ďalším titulom. Questy ktoré sa tu nachádzajú sú také originálne že to ani nieje možné.Ľutujem len to že som to nekúpil skôr.

    - Klepna(kôň) občas zaklepne o nejakú prekážku
    - Combat na koni nieje zrovna to pravé orechové
    - občas sa stane že za Vaším oknom znova vykukne slnko
    - možno prídete o pár priateľov lebo proste hráte Witchera
    - možno prídete o pár členov rodiny počas hrania
    - možno zmeškáte narodenie svojho dieťaťa, jeho narodeniny, jeho maturitu...
    - možno Vám pretečie celý život medzi klávesnicou...
    - A ak ste si mysleli že nejaká hra je vaša obľúbená Witcher Vás vyvedie z omylu.

    Amazing how, even after gaming for nearly 20 years and experiencing some of the best stories games have to offer, Witcher 3 still blew my mind and made me fall in love with gaming all over again.

The gameplay is solid, combat is incredible, the soundtrack is FAN-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-TASTIC, the graphics are some of the best I have ever seen, the game looks BEAUTIFUL, characters, story, voice acting are all incredible. There is so much to do and explore in this amazing world and 95% of it is fun, unlike most big RPGs like this, where half the content is grindy, repetitive and boring. I seriously cannot put into words how incredible of an experience this game is, so I won't even attempt and I'll try to keep this short. The only bad thing I can say about this game are the glitches, but I haven't run into a single gamebreaking one yet, and CDPR seem to be doing everything they can to fix those ASAP, unlike most developers nowadays. But the pros outnumber the cons at least 10:1.

    Overall, this is one of the best games I have ever played. You can see the passion and the hard work that CDPR put into this game. It is truly a beautiful and immersive experience. Some parts will make you laugh, others will make you cry and, when the music kicks in and you draw your sword, you will feel like a Witcher.

    I recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs and even if you don't, I'd consider giving this one a shot. There is enough content in here to justify a $120 price tag, so don't worry about that.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games I have ever played and the best RPG I have ever played by far.    … Expand

    When I first played Witcher 3, I absolutely had no idea about it. I thought of it as a Graphic Marvel, Purchased a 960 GTX in order to play it, and was blown by the graphics. But that was it, the game never interested me except for its last missions, couldn't get even a single bit of the story. Didnt even realise I did the bad ending, never touched the DLC, uninstalled the game, consideredWhen I first played Witcher 3, I absolutely had no idea about it. I thought of it as a Graphic Marvel, Purchased a 960 GTX in order to play it, and was blown by the graphics. But that was it, the game never interested me except for its last missions, couldn't get even a single bit of the story. Didnt even realise I did the bad ending, never touched the DLC, uninstalled the game, considered it average, and called it a day.

    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    … Expand

I am lucky to experience the complete edition and with free next gen Updates. This will always be a memorable game that you won't forget even when you grow old. This is a game that you should place in a treasure box. Thank you CdprjktRed.

    Ok now I got to be honest in this one.

    At first I felt At the beginning I felt that the game was too overwhelming, too big and too adult for me because I came from Skyrim, and to make a comparison was impossible because they were the ''two greats'' of the genre. I watched an advice video about the game. When I came back I was excited, and when I left White Orchard.... 210 hours    Ok now I got to be honest in this one.

    I watched an advice video about the game. When I came back I was excited, and when I left White Orchard....

    210 hours are the number of hours I have played. I've played the main campaign 2 times and I'm waiting for the next-gen update to play the DLC's again. The world of The Witcher 3, the Continent, is plagued with evilness, hunger, suffering, sadness and war, that's what you see, and the folklore and richness of the world will make all this stuff charming. Thanks to the huge amount of different and side quests, enemies, how the world reacts to you and your decisions (nothing to do with Skyrim by the way), the beauty of the game itself, the characters, the story, even the gameplay, everything! This game will catch you, and when you finish it you will realize that you played the best game ever. And that if you used your time for something worthwhile.

    5000 characters are too few to be able to express all the love and respect I have for this game, all the affection I have acquired for the characters and how I enjoyed the main campaign. But maybe they are enough to talk about the DLC's.

    Hearts of Stone is fantastic and introduces you to one of the best villains of the saga of video games, I do not want to detail more because although it is worthwhile, what I want to talk more than anything is the second DLC. And even so, it's a sin not to buy the whole game.

    Blood and Wine... Imagine a place where you gather the most beautiful of French, Italian and Spanish culture. That beautiful music, those colors, that attitude of the inhabitants of Toussaint... after wars and suffering, after death, you arrive in a world full of life, wealth, abundance and nobility. Someone who has a strong European identity would cry from happiness if such a place existed. Toussaint is magnificent, and I repeat it because I measure my words, MAGNIFICENT. A year after playing the DLC I am still humming the songs, I even have them downloaded on my phone and know how to play them on instrument. I already loved The Witcher 3, it was already the best game I'd ever played in my life, and then came Toussaint....

    It's a near perfect game. It's magnificent. It's wonderful. It's The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a serene, contemplative, brilliant adventure. The amount of quality characters, settings, and monsters is enough to make me believe this is the work of hundreds of thousands of people. What CD Projekt Red has done here, is something so many studios aspire to do; create a beautiful, believable, and enjoyable world full of art and charm.

    What usually happens    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a serene, contemplative, brilliant adventure. The amount of quality characters, settings, and monsters is enough to make me believe this is the work of hundreds of thousands of people. What CD Projekt Red has done here, is something so many studios aspire to do; create a beautiful, believable, and enjoyable world full of art and charm.

    What usually happens with games that are this ambitious is fragmentation. Too many teams without the right direction or collaboration can make you feel like you're playing 5 different games put into one. When one team wants to create gameplay that is best enjoyed in an open world setting that is satisfying and has great animations, but the other team wants to tell a linear narrative, even for a single quest, it creates a disconnect. This game does the opposite. It ties in the gorgeous art and stories told in the past, and incorporates that into the stories they tell in the present and future. The act of preparation, research, and combat with the monsters is all rooted in what it means to be a Witcher. The people that mean something to Geralt, begin to mean something to you.

    The music ties into everything you do and feel in a way that can only be described as near-perfect. From the feeling of rowing a boat through the fjords of Skellige, to fighting a drowner in Velen bog, the music always seems to be there right when you need it. The only exceptions can happen when you're in a quiet part of the game, do something to level up, and proceed to be bombarded by some unexpected, but still appreciated vocal "AYYYYYY"s.

    The character and dialogue writing and performance is something to behold. Every accent, and quirk, is lifelike. The way each individual ties into their surrounding community, stories, and quests is just how it should be. And the writing and design of what you do on quests, either to progress the main narrative, or just to pass the time, is handled with such care and reference to the rest of the game.

    In closing, this game does everything it needed to and more. It sets the bar for love, care, and collaboration for different aspects of what games are and can be. Every swing of your sword, strum of a lute by Dandelion, stench of a reeking Striga, and look of admiration from Ciri or Yennefer fills my heart. I love this game and studio more than almost any other for all the things they do, and I think you will too.    … Expand

    after looking in the negative reviews I was forced to write this review, how pathetic people can be to downvoting such a beautiful, immersive, detailed, game?

    When you compare to other games the witcher 3 was surely the most well made game ever, the insanity of work that CD PROJEKT has put in this game is insane..
    in RPG category is by far the best game I've played.
    Why? Well, a RPG must have some elements like -> ambient, music, story.. and Witcher 3 have all of these.
    Another w0w thing is that they released two expansions for this game and both are insanely 10/10..
    This game is not only about fun, but about morals, politics, and showing the good and bad side of the life even if you think its just a game.. IT show how much a decision is important..
    This game can make you angry about some aspects, happy about others..

Посмотрев на мое количество часов в игре вы подумаете о чем он говорит если играл не много , так вот объяснюсь - в первые я поиграл на пиратке, прошел 3 раза, потратил кучу времени, но игра настолько меня зацепила что я сказал себе что любой труд должен вознаграждается. Я задался вопросом зачем я пирачу , зачем я отбираю чеканную монету у разработчиков и понял только одно это жалкие поступки с моей стороны, я сказал себе всегда нужно за что то платить. И по сей день я только покупаю игры . А по теме игра очень хороша даже для 2020 года, сюжет великолепен геймплей на высшем уровне, боевая система хорошая , прокачиваться не сложно и при желании игру можно пройти с начальным снаряжением. Минус лишь в том что до релиза недоша сюжетная линия с Иорветом хотя и без этого игра одна из лучших в своем роде… 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.
