    Graphics, animations, sounds...are 10/10. Gameplay however is boring, repetitive and unoriginal.
    Witcher movement and combat is clunky and quests are for the huge part all the same: get the quest, follow the red paint on the ground, kill the monster, go back to collect the reward.
    Level up system... there's not even a slightest difference in gameplay whether you're level 1 or 30.    Graphics, animations, sounds...are 10/10. Gameplay however is boring, repetitive and unoriginal.

    Fighting enemies below your level is boring as they can barely hurt you and fighting enemies with higher level is frustrating as you can barely hurt them.
    Fast travel system isn't fast at all, still takes a lot of time to travel to/from sign posts and riding horse often leads to frustration.    … Expand

    Too many technical problems even more than a year after its release. Any game that has bugs galore does not deserve this high score. The Glitcher 3: Bug Hunt is probably buggier experience for me than the dreaded skyrim; yep, it's that buggy.

CD Projekt RED did an incredible work on this game and its add-Ons, so much dedication and love went in the production.

    My personal maxim when it comes to games is: Gameplay is king; Story is queen. I have little to no interest in games with no story or even lore; and also no interest in games with only story (I'd rather read a book in that case). The seamless combination of both is what interests me the most, and very few games achieve this blend as Wild Hunt has achieved.

I have little to no interest in games with no story or even lore; and also no interest in games with only story (I'd rather read a book in that case). The seamless combination of both is what interests me the most, and very few games achieve this blend as Wild Hunt has achieved. This game is the embodiment of the perfect balance between gameplay and story.

    CDPR, the developer, has achieved the highest effect a game can have on its players: making them wish that it never ends. For the last five months I have delayed and put off the ending as long as I possibly could, wishing that this game could last forever; that I could play it for the rest of my life, always finding new side quests, new contracts, new treasure hunts. But alas, all great things must end; it's what makes them great. And in this case, The Witcher series ended on an incredibly high note. The fact that the developer has decided to conclude the story of Geralt with this game, instead of finding a way to milk the franchise also speaks volumes of their integrity as artists.

    This is a game that is exuberantly alive: it bustles and teems with life. Walking through the woods, walking through a city, into a cave... you feel life around you, especially if you play with a good headset. The feeling of riding across the lands as the sun sets is something I'll never forget. I'd never played a game that felt so alive, so rich, so handcrafted in its minutest details. Some games came close, but probably due to limitations of technology and development cycle, they didn't achieve this level of liveliness and exuberance.

    I usually don't like cutscenes in most games, to be very honest, but in this game I couldn't get enough of it. The voice acting, the character animation, especially facial animation, is beyond anything we've come to expect from games in terms of quality, and most games now pale in comparison, seeming lifeless and dull. No wonder some critics said that it "defines next-gen": this game is technically and artistically unparalleled, and it should set a gold standard to be aspired to by all AAA devs in the coming years. Not that most of them will ever achieve something this great, but they should at least aspire to greatness.

    It has moments where its writing is at its best the fewer words are used: Geralt and Ciri trashing a certain place was particularly brilliant. But the writing here is among the best a game has ever seen. From my own personal preference, only the writing in Fallout: New Vegas could equal the writing in Wild Hunt. The variety of soundbites in cities and villages, the different personalities ascribed to vendors (a blacksmith mourning his son, an armourer who is not what he seems, a grumpy merchant, etc etc etc)... From the very first quests, the inner life shown by these characters is simply staggering: a lone hunter in the woods, a very minor character, who considers himself a freak, has more inner life than most protagonists in most games out there.

    On to the gameplay. The investigation component, though not exactly innovative, is employed so deftly that it makes for one of the most satisfying elements in the game: finding clues and picking up scents is just fun and it makes you feel like a supernatural detective. I know some players had objections to the combat, but I have no complaints whatsoever. Especially on higher difficulties, it is clever, tactical, challenging and just plain fun. You don't have to mash your buttons or click your mouse to death here, instead you have to pace yourself, prepare for each fight, try to get the right oils and signs and bombs ready. It can be awkward sometimes, but that's a matter of skill. The better you become at combat, the more surgical and graceful you can become, which makes it extremely fun and satisfying.

    The soundtrack is a work of art in itself. For the past two months I've started reading the books while listening to the soundtrack, and it makes for a very satisfying combination. It fills you with longing and transports you to the world of the Witcher while your body sits there in the bus, going to work or wherever. It is that good, seriously.

    Flawed as only the greatest masterpieces can be, Wild Hunt is a tour de force to be reckoned with. It is a world built by some of the most creative and innovative minds in the games industry; it is a game carved and handcrafted as a labour of love with only the varnish of commercial value. Wild Hunt redeems the videogame medium; it elevates art and storytelling to a whole new level that we can only hope will come to be imitated, however imperfectly.    … Expand

    Pros:

    Size-game is huge and you can spend probably 150-200 hours if you want to explore every map marker. I finished the game in about 70-75 hours and had many map markers that were still unexplored. Graphics-really pretty, especially faces and armors, animations are pretty good too. And game performs quite well, my laptop has quad core i7 and GTX970M and I was able to play on 1080p    Pros:

    Size-game is huge and you can spend probably 150-200 hours if you want to explore every map marker. I finished the game in about 70-75 hours and had many map markers that were still unexplored.

    Graphics-really pretty, especially faces and armors, animations are pretty good too. And game performs quite well, my laptop has quad core i7 and GTX970M and I was able to play on 1080p with everything on ultra except foliage distance was high (not much difference anyway) and hairworks were turned off, with nice fps rates generally staying in 40s with occasional drops to 30s and spikes to 50s, more on that in Cons section. I also turned off vignetting, blur and sharpening because I dont like them. You can tweak just about anything to squeeze the fps you want from your computer. Cities are filled with people and look lively and realistic with the exception of repetitive comments from some of them.

    Quests-nearly every quest has a backstory, and many are interconnected, and while it starts off slowly in White Orchard by the time you move to Velen and Novigrad the game feels like a real living world with well written quests and interconnected stories. Massive improvement over just about any game out there. I immensely enjoyed the quests related to the main quest and didnt have this much fun since Dragon Age Origins&Awakening. Other developers should take note. And many quests require thinking, not too much, just enough to keep quests interesting, but not making you swear in front of your computer all the time because you cant figure it out. Game will also tell you what is the recommended level for a quest, you can manage to do it on lower levels, but not much lower, you get raped if you try it on 10 levels below recommended.

    Voice acting-generally very good to excellent and pleasure to listen to.

    Humor-game has lots of humorous moments that are well conceived and entertaining. Rock trolls particularly.

    Combat-improvement over 1 and 2 and decently enjoyable, gets slightly monotonous after some time but I guess that is caused by restrictions from the books, Geralt fights in certain way and has certain skills and that is all, you cant have spells, new weapons and stuff, there is a crossbow which is a nice addition but not terribly useful except in some situations.

    Crafting-it is a mixed blessing but I will put in under Pros, you can get some powerful stuff from crafting, but it can be tedious to find recipes, ingredients and right smiths, good for those that like to explore everything in the game, but somewhat tedious for people that just want to enjoy the story and loot or buy their armors and weapons.

    Scattered treasure-exploring seemingly irrelevant and empty locations can get you powerful armor and weapons, exploring the obscure parts of the map is worthwhile in Witcher 3.

    Difficulty-now it is much more balanced than in previous games, it has hardcore levels for the fanatics and Just The Story which is the new Easy that allows you to finish the game without too much trouble. If you found 1 and 2 difficult on Easy, no need to worry because 3 is more balanced on Easy and you will be able to enjoy the game in "tourist mode" though it is not a walk in the park, you will need to invest a little bit of effort however far less than in 1 and 2.

    Cons:

    Graphics-the engine seems to suffer from sudden fps drops here and there, you are in the same area and moved 5 meters yet sometimes the framerate drops by 15-20 fps for no particular reason, good thing is that it is right back up so you dont notice the drop much.

    Main quest-I found it to be a bit underwhelming and quests that lead to the conclusion much more interesting. Also in one quest writing is off and makes no sense to how a certain character would act, it doesnt fit his personality, lets say it is a quest that involves a king, those who played the game will likely know what I mean. Writing is generally very good but this error made me angry a bit because I liked that character.

    Dungeon crawling-not much of that in Witcher 3, most locations are above ground and loot is stingy.

    Economy-making money in Witcher 3 is somewhat difficult, you tend to have a lot of money when you are too powerful anyway and dont need it much. Before that you spend what you earn on obtaining a few items and repairing armor and weapons.

    Enemies-not too many variants, this could definitely need improvement. Boss enemies are better and usually connected with quests which makes them more interesting.

    NSFW-they definitely cut down the NSFW content compared to 1 and 2, yes there are still boobs and asses, and you have brothels, but overall NSFW content is not as strong as 1 and 2.

    Overall it is a massive and interesting game with lots of attention given to details. Despite a few flaws, and very few games dont have them, it is an excellent game that is worth every euro I paid for it    … Expand

    One of the best RPGs of all time. Great story (both the main story, and sidequests), great characters, great graphics, great combat (I believe that people who didn't like combat in this game just don't understand it/didn't get used to it). The first expansion, Hearts of Stone, is also great, check it out! Blood and Wine will probably be great too.

I got it when it first came out and played for about 30 hours up to around level 14 and then I stopped due to some computer issues. I upgraded my system and went back to the game, but I was rusty and forgot a lot of the systems. The first time I played I powered through on a lot of the main story quests. My character was not well developed and I was broke. Since it has been about a year since I seriously played the game I went back and started from the very beginning. This time I focused on doing all the side quests and taking my time to explore all the corners of the map. I spent time learning how to properly play the card game gwent. I focused on my skill builds and using the mutagens and matching them up. I made the different types of oils and studied the weaknesses of the beasts I would face and the best tactics. I'm at level 12 right now and I haven't even left velen yet. This time through I am seeing tons of side quests and story I missed. The side quest stories are almost as good as the main quest stories. I am totally hooked on gwent this time around and play every npc I can find and am always asking merchants if they have any gwent cards for sale. The level of detail in this game is incredible. From the slow motion kill scenes to watching a enemy you just killed fall into the water and then float back up to the surface or watching an enemy who has just collapse to the ground slowly bleed out leaving a puddle of blood. The stories are phenomenal. Your decisions impact what happens later. Even minor side quests will have me running into people later on who want to talk about the decisions I made. If you like adventure games then this is certainly worth a look even though its an rpg. The graphics are great with some gorgeous scenery. There are some minor downsides. Sometimes combat can be a bit frustrating and could be a bit more fluid. The background music got annoying to the point where I have turned it off. It is fine at first, but after awhile it becomes a bit much. I haven't gotten the expansion and a second expansion is coming up at the end of this month. Right now I am still in the base game and there is a massive amount of game left for me to explore. Hands down this is a quality game and if you have even a passing interest in an immersive rpg then don't even hesitate. Just get this game now. The amount of content is enough to keep anyone busy for months. Just keep in mind that this game is no fairy tale. In fact the game can be quite dark and at times you may make decisions that you think are for the best and much like real life things just go sideways and can't foresee the consequences. Best advice I can give about this game is just take your time and go slow. Explore every area and learn about every system in the game. You don't need to have played the prior games to catch up on the story. Would it add to your pleasure knowing the full back story? I'm sure but it does not seem necessary. The game kinda fills you in on what happened before. I own Witcher 2 and I played it for a bit, but the controls were soo horrible that I just did not get very far into the story. Witcher 3 has a much better control system. This is one of the best games I have picked up in years.… Expand

    Many RPGs focus on tales of lone, wandering adventurers, but few if any pull it off it with such artistry as The Witcher 3. That artistry is most apparent in the setting itself, which is so packed with breathtaking sunsets and wind-tossed groves of trees that, months later, I still find myself opting to go to destinations on foot rather than taking the fast travel points.

That artistry is most apparent in the setting itself, which is so packed with breathtaking sunsets and wind-tossed groves of trees that, months later, I still find myself opting to go to destinations on foot rather than taking the fast travel points.

    But the true strength of The Witcher 3 is that it populates these memorable landscapes with NPCs doling out humble but memorable quests (by the dozen) that help create one of the most human RPG experiences on the market. In decaying wayside towns, the witcher Geralt might find impoverished elves struggling in the face of local racism; elsewhere, he might help a self-styled baron reunite with his long-estranged daughter. These quests deftly navigate moral issues without being heavy-handed or offering obvious solutions

    Through it all, much as in The Witcher 2, Geralt usually plays the role of just another character on this troubled world's stage. In the process, this tale of monster slaying and inter-dimensional raiders becomes strangely and poignantly relatable.

    I'd argue the Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever made. Its writing and micro narratives are so far ahead of its piers it's frankly depressing. It stands as a testament to the skill of CDProjekt Red devs who deeply know and love their craft and allow you to have fun while experiencing war, racism and female sexuality a with a meaningful narrative and haven't devolved into catering and pandering for the masses, leaving the players reflecting on the Witcher world for years to come, as opposed to some jokes of games masquerading as RPGs that will choke to death on 3 pounds of steel.    … Expand

    Project Cars and Witcher 3 have got best graphics on videogames in my opinion . Witcher 3 is the best game of 2015 with Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC . Witcher 3 is most anticipated game of 2015 with Fallout 4 and GTA V on PC . The Witcher 3 is very good game . Amazing . 9/10 .

    I love the Witcher 3. It doesn't condescend like other more adolescent oriented RPGs. Dragon Age Inquisition and all of its teenager "maturity" comes to mind. One big aspect of this is the choice and morality of the game. Lots of games will give you superficial choices. Some games, like the mass effect franchise, take it further painting actions as good or bad. But those choices are blackI love the Witcher 3. It doesn't condescend like other more adolescent oriented RPGs. Dragon Age Inquisition and all of its teenager "maturity" comes to mind. One big aspect of this is the choice and morality of the game. Lots of games will give you superficial choices. Some games, like the mass effect franchise, take it further painting actions as good or bad. But those choices are black and white. Often choice in the Witcher 3 comes to trying to pick the lesser evil. Twice in the game, on insignificant side quests I left someone to die. Once that was a show of mercy, another time an act of cruelty. The same action meaning two different things. Now that is moral complexity. That doesn't condescend. Choice affects who you end up with and how happy, or hearbreaking, the ending is. And its not a few key yes/no moments. A lot more less significant choices build up to the outcome. Its quite well done.
    The game is not quite perfect, though it certainly is the closest to perfect that currently exists. Combat, though better than the previous two games is still a bit rough. Fighting is designed to avoid click to win, and be more tactical but I could still click to win for the first 1/3 of the game, later too until I dialed the difficulty way up. Enemies can gang up on you, instead of taking turns like the movies or Arkham games, forcing you to plan your fights more tactically. Same with your limited use of healing resources in combat. Some skills on the skill tree are clearly underpowered compared to others, and "hybrid" builds are trickier to play despite being truer to the character.
    Also though character development is awesome in this game, it is actually slightly weaker than Witcher 2. Once you run out of things to say to your chosen or your friend character, you run out of dialogue. That is probably a symptom of the much larger world. When you are interacting with a character as part of a quest it is great and well rounded. Characters change in response to you. Outside of quests, not so much.
    The world is huge, stunning and beautiful. The water animations, and wind blowing through the trees are beautiful. It feels like a living, breathing world complete with weather systems and dynamic shadows (depending on the amount of daylight and the sun's position in the sky).
    Overall the game will be off-putting to some people. It is fantasy, but this world is dark, sexist, racist and worse. Some themes will disturb younger viewers. And if you can't get into the combat, I suggest setting it to easy and playing to see the story. Because games this good are few and far between.    … 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.

    Probably the best open-world RPG ever made, but it still falls prey to some of the genre's worst traps.

    I've made it pretty clear that it's hardly a flawless game, but that doesn't change the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is something pretty bloody special and you should absolutely play it.
