    There is everything that good game needs: beautiful open world, interesting and charismatic characters, interaction with NPCs, funny humour and, of course, the world without a censorship: social problems like inequality, racism, hatred, genocide and poverty.
    The gameplay part is great. For me, the combat system is awesome: it is difficult and, at the same time, possible to deal with.

    The gameplay part is great. For me, the combat system is awesome: it is difficult and, at the same time, possible to deal with. Also, I haven't experienced many technical issues in spite of having average hardware.
    The story is great because you don't know what happens next: your actions have consequences and the ending depends on your actions.
    To conclude, I'd like to say that the game, in spite of all its pros, isn't made for second walkthrough. However, I'm not gonna put 9/10 because I had great experience first time and my emotions are based on the first time when everything was new and undiscovered.    … Expand

    The Witcher: Wild Hunt - the best RPG in recent years. This is an amazing story and an unforgettable atmosphere of dark fantasy. The open and living world is very large, and the characters are very natural and colorful. The musical design of the game is amazing! The graphics are very beautiful. an incredibly exciting story.

    I don't give 10/10 scores normally as no game can be perfect and Witcher 3 isn't an exception. The game IS NOT perfect. Anyway the overall package of this game is mind blowing. it is hard to describe. It is a game that brings other AAA games within its genre to shame. Not only because of ist content but also because of every way the developers are handling everything around the game.

    Enjoyed it so much, but as I reached Skellige part of the story it became a bit boring.
    Characters are great, gameplay is pretty good, but the story didn't please me.

If you dont stick to the linear path of the main story you quickly become too weak to do any side quests/free roaming activities that give out too low of XP to do anything but add filler in between main story missions. If you're a completionist be warned, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to complete every quest and start noticing your failing quests you had no idea you could fail do to poor quest activators/indicators and a quest design system. Also achievements are bugged, qwent cards are bugged, some dont stack and you spend hours upon hours collecting them all only to realize you cant get the last few in your deck because they didnt/still havent fixed qwent cards being stackable. Also to note some qwent cards are locked behind a merchant thats locked in a cage with a bandit leader thats suppose to drop a key to the cage thats bugged and for alot of users he never drops the key. Its been reported for months on their tech forums but never fixed...very buggy game, alot of flaws in their system. Crafting system is pointless, its better to buy greater runetsones you need then to go through the crappy process of crafting a blank runestone, 2 lesser runestones, 2 normal runestones, then finally get that 1 greater runestones...after all that you could of just spent 1200 on the greater runestone and saved 1000's of coin/supplies. Some terrible designs.....should of had more time for testing/bug/design flaws to be worked out. **update** 6/4/18** Changing review from a 6 to a now 9 after other games have failed HARD in comparison and this one has shined so much more in terms of a great story and fun combat once you get the hang of it. I'll actually be going back to play this again as most games today cant hold a candle. Yes, its worth a second play through even years later. Lets pray that alot of the bugs/glitches and qwent card issues have been addressed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know there's a lot of effort in this game, but for me, Witcher 3 fails to hook you into its world.
    Structure feels so predictable and repetitive yet not cohesive.
    Pacing is slow as hell and the game itself often doesn't maie its job to keep things fresh. As an example i put that awful Dandelion quest. Too many hours of bloated dialogues which bore you to death.
    Some sidequests are remarkable (that one with the baron, for example), but i never found myself loving the game.
    This may be cause of the repetitiveness of its nature and boring/untight design.
    Most of it can be resumed in following icons seamlessly with the minimap, following other ones on the actual map (with Witcher senses) and then some combat. About it, combat is mediocre and floaty. It doesn't encourage you to try to be versatile, just button mashing and some potion management. Like playing Skyrim with just one sword (a little less stiff, though). Simple movements are stiff as hell, and feel like a return to the 90's (walking, running)
    Story is decent, but it is quite muddled cause of all the other problems i mentioned before.
    Ok, so anything good to say?
    Yeah, environments and cities are very well made.
    Facial expressions are neat, too.
    Sorry, but it ain't my cup of tea
    6/10

    Edit: i just finished the game, and i have to say it became a lot better after finding Ciri.
    Story got a lot better paced and characters itself had a great construction
    It is still a flawed experience, but i feel i was too harsh with the 6/10
    Ending was quite good, although i just thought it was so fast and had some plot holes (what happened to Avallach?, What was Yennefer reaction to Ciris departure? Nothing of that was explained, it just ended so quickly..    … Expand

    Simply the best game that ever was. After the first couple of hours the game started to pick up and the main quest story along with the many side quests will have you wanting more.This game is a 10/10 when compared to other rpg released around the time it came out, while it is not perfect it is just on another level when it comes to detail and questing.

    An amazing game, one of the best games I've played in the last few years. The story isn't the best i've ever seen in a RPG, but it's still very, very good. The biggest strengh of the game are the sidequests. All of them have their own story and diverse gameplay.
    The biggest flaw is the combat. It's not bad, but it's a bit to simple.

It has great characters with great emotions and they really demonstrate that to the players ... The voice actors in this game got to other level of class, mainly Geralt, the main character, he is always speaking with that deep voice!
    Now let´s change the topic and go for atmosphere and world: In my opinion, this game is has the best atmosphere ever created in the history of videogames. We are always hearing the musical instruments, the songs are just amazing! The trees always moving, the grass is gorgeous, like no words to the ambient created! Bonus things : you have a lot of side quest waiting for you in this awesome world ... many choises to make, many of them have impact in the way that the things go! There are many ends in the game, +30! Good ones, and bad one, depends on you!

Even most of who played this game will feel dull for playing another game with the same genre. Love, family, humanity (non-human-ity included), all packed with good dilemmas. The characters are filled with unique characteristic. The worst thing, if you are deep connected to this game, you'll feel empty like begging for the 4th installment (and we know they'll not making it while they focusing on Cyberpunk 2077). Played so much RPG games in my life but this one made it marks after Suikoden 1 & 2 in my place.

    So what about the graphic, the world, and combat system. It just very good. Packed so perfect that I shouldn't explain it too much. Because for me, the power that make it even more beautiful is the story. Some of senior (PS One) gamer sure know what Gensou Suikoden (1 & 2) looks like, 2D mixed with 3D, but the story lives until now. Even so much beautiful games packed with superior graphic like FF Series, but still, they feel dull by the lack of story contents.

    The adult contents sure make it playable for adult only. Maybe it's good for in-game story addition (and for making it more honest) but it's not like porn film anyway. You want to play a main character in a movie? Play this, and you'll regret there's no 4th installment near the date. :)    … 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.
