    Witcher 3 is a perfect example of how to do an open world RPG with in-depth quests.

    What can I say, I won't even bother to review any other games but this game and its developers deserve it. I have played this game through 3 times now and have something like 300-400 hours put in to it and I haven't encountered many bugs, in fact I can't remember any right now, I'm sure there has been couple small ones but nothing major.

I have played this game through 3 times now and have something like 300-400 hours put in to it and I haven't encountered many bugs, in fact I can't remember any right now, I'm sure there has been couple small ones but nothing major.

    The combat is amazing! Its very responsive and the animations are top notch, it also isn't too hard for new players (except for couple boss fights). For better players it offers options to execute the combat more efficiently, quickly and with style. And its not just slashing swords around, you can also use these abilities called signs which introduce a whole new layer to the combat. For example one is called Aard, its a telekinetic wave which pushes the enemy backwards. There's so much different enemies and enemy types too.

    Graphics look very good. Some textures look different from what other games are usually offering in terms of style, water for example, I've never seen that style water in any other game but I think it looks absolutely amazing! Forests are very dense without any frame drops unlike most other games, which usually only have a few trees and bushes. No complaints in this part either.

    The map is very large and it has been done very well. It doesn't feel empty at any point. It feels much more larger than many other game maps because you have to travel by walking, on a horse or in some cases on a boat.

    There is a large amount of different loot and different swords, armors, armor sets etc. And the Blood and Wine expansion pack even introduced some customization for them. I guess I could mention here that the skill tree system has also been done very well and introduces new tactics into combat as well.

    Story is one of the best selling points for this game. You can jump in to this game even if you haven't played the previous games or haven't read the books and the story will still suck you in. However there might be some references you might not get if you don't play the previous games or read the books. I personally only played Witcher 2 before this game and now because of Witcher 3 I will read the books because the story is just that amazing, and I NEVER read books.

    My only negative thing to say about this game is that it has not been ported to Linux.    … Expand

    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.
    This game is a 11/10!    … Expand

    A vivid example of a game in which you want to play endlessly simply put to live in it. I think no matter how many additions, I would buy them all. I really hope that the poles will not abandon the franchise and make the new part in 5 years even better and more epic.

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

Although I rate it as 8, I'm hardly dissapointed - this 82 million dollars game being compared to Red Dead Redemption 2 and nominated as game of the decade drags unrealistic expectations from me.

    I'm going, to be honest. This is probably my favorite game of all time. I used to do several playthroughs of the same game when I was a kid, but as I grew older, I wouldn't play the story again because it would be boring. However, Witcher 3 came and I'm going for my 3rd playthrough.

    - Relic itemization is pretty much null. You only use Witcher gear if you want to be at the best level. The relic stuff is pretty much inferior, so it's sold to a shopkeeper (blacksmith, etc). There are only a few items worth equipping.
    - The 2nd half of an important event (After blah blah) looks kind of rushed and it's bad compared to the 1st half. It gave the sense of "That's it? Wow I expected more but this was quick". It has good moments, but I feel like a little development time to polish it would increase the story's rating.
    - The combat could be a bit better. It's pretty much "dodge etc". Even some monsters look repetitive.

    Aside from this, it's such a breathtaking game.    … Expand

The main story is great, although not the best the game has to offer in my opinion. At one point in the story, the game was asking me to track someone down, so they can tell me where to find someone else, so that i can find another person, with the ultimate goal of finding ciri, that i wasnt a fan of. The side quests though, are brilliant. There are so many and all vary so much. Its incredible how they managed to make so many different stories. I did the side quests along with the main story, in times where it felt appropriate to do them and when i felt that doing them fitted the plot, or when they were closest to me, which is how I believe they should be done. I know some like to do the side **** after finishing the main story, but i believe this will lower the overall experience. Every single piece of optional dialogue, i clicked on because i was genuinely interested in what was happening and wanted to find out more. I love the lore also, and there is A LOT of lore. I played this game prior to reading the books or playing the previous games, but post watching the show (which i didnt really enjoy) so coming into it i knew almost nothing besides some of the main characters ( i was so confused who dandelion was) and i was still so fascinated by everything. Gameplay wise, its just sorta mediocre. Its not bad but its not all that. It works and when making a build that suits you more, it does get more fun. Also when not spamming quen, the fighting will start to vary more. But the fact that you can literally spam the dodge button in any direction and you will be invincible, makes it kinda easy. Even on deathmarch, the game just didnt give much of a challenge after the beginning. Please do play on deathmarch by the way, because thats the only time u will want to actually use oils and the correct bombs and potions and **** to do certain boss fights, and actually feel like without them you wouldnt be able to do the boss fight anywhere near as effectively. There is a noticeable amount of bugs in the game, roach (the horse) for example i often want to behead because pf constantly getting stuck. Besides that though, any other bugs arnt really that annoying and the ones that are wont show up that often, but they are definitely there. The play time u get from this game as well is amazing. Any play through u do will easily go past the 100h mark. If it wernt for the bugs and if the novigrad part of the game was so “find this person to find this person”, then i would give it a 10 out of 10. But considering the bugs are most times a very minor inconvenience as the horse getting stuck only lasts about a second, and the novigrad part still has interesting lore and stories, i think this game is still the best thing ive ever played, and ive played a lot of story mode games.… 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.
