    Лучшая игра,в которую я когда либо играл.Обычно в играх с открытым миром отсутствует сюжет,но здесь игра держит до самого конца.Не сказать,что нет минусов,но плюсов у игры столько,что на них просто не обращаешь внимание.

    Best game I have ever played. CDPR has brought a game never seen before! Milestone is gaming!

    The world is perfect and huge. So vibrant and immersive. The graphics (even on consoles) are amazing in the RPG genre. Characters are interesting. Everything has meaning.

    First open world game in years that doesn't feel like a job with never ending list of useless **** collecting.

    GOTY for sure!

    Everything has been said about this game already. This is by far one of the most accomplished RPG I can remember. From the grafix, sounds, music, characters, fights etc, everything is amazing.

    The worst part of this game is actually finishing it. It will cause post-game depression looking for something else to play that feels as good.

    One of the best games I have played. The "Hearts of Stone" dlc makes it all the better. I think what I really loved about this game is how some of the side quests actually tie into the main storyline. It's not just where you do a quest and it has no impact; no, you do a sidequest and it either directly effects the storyline, or your actions are at least mentioned in the game.

The story is captivating and memorable, it invokes feelings that I feel no other game can and takes you on a emotional roller-coaster. The characters are very relatable from the witty remarks of Dandelion to the sweetness of Triss to the fire of Yennifer you go through the game and develop relationships with the characters so that you can relate to them in more ways than one. It also does something that many games fear to tread... it is truthful to the world, with aspects of racism and prosecution, to abuse and sexism its all there but the good thing is that it does it tastefully and in ways that are subtle and dont offend the player.

    I love this game to bits and recommend this any gamer who is looking to a rich and tasteful experience that I feel has been a once in a lifetime experience.    … Expand

Most of the story is on par with the earlier games, occasionally even exceeding them, but also falling short in a few places. Just as TW2's showed us a good character whom a bad situation forced to do something horrible that affected a whole kingdom, TW3 repeats something similar on a personal level, and shows us its relevance in the world by rendering nearly the whole thing for us to explore. The player can appreciate the unpretentious story at whatever desired depth--literary or just fun--it's good all the same. TW3 repeatedly provokes the player with morally ambiguous situations, and this is precisely why it is an adult RPG--not because of the r-rated content but because it doesn't sugarcoat life for you. That being said, there are at least two major cases of plot armor in the story, and at least one annoying plot hole. The story also suffers from pacing issues, which brings me to the many ways the game has suffered by jumping on the open world bandwagon. Hours of carefree exploring can clash with the supposed urgency of some quests. The game also suffers from a difficulty hill. Combat is fun when it is hard and limitations compel the player to be careful and strategize, but those limitations evaporate soon after level 10 in the vanilla game and thereafter nearly everything is easy. Even with the Enhanced Combat mod--which delays the difficulty "hill"--on Blood and Broken Bones difficulty the game is disappointingly idiot-proof. And speaking of idiot-proof, that brings me to the alchemy system, which has the bizarre property of auto-refill in spite of the vast amount of (overwhelmingly useless) loot there is to be found. We fans begged CDPR not to do this and they didn't listen, instead nerfing the alchemy in fear that no one would use it. And, yet, they already had two very good alchemy systems in their two earlier games! The easy combat is contrasted with the nearly impossible fist fighting, which is not much easier than the Operator fight in TW2. Your character can take a few blunt hits with a sword, but he can't take four punches. I'm also quite disappointed by how the enemies respawn. Is implementing permanent death for enemies really that hard? I'm a software engineer and I really doubt it. Soured as I am by these flaws, they are still outweighed by the breadth and depth of this game. TW3's world makes sense as a society, and the cities look like they were made by people who have seen real mediaeval cities (instead of Disneyified bs) and the combat is strategic and interesting--not simple potion spam. Over all I'd say this game deserves 8/10, but with mods I'd lift that to 9/10. I can't give it 10 with the flaws it has. That being said, I hope it becomes influential and a wake-up call to the industry and the generic riskless material it keeps producing.… Expand

The only things that hinder the game are the inevitable glitches of an open world game, and minor issues. Interacting with the environment objects when trying to loot, Roach not wanting to go over bridges, and difficulty looting because your not in the exact right spot. The quest have not devolved into "Collect 5 of these" like Inquisiton somewhat did. Many complained about Inquisiton that the opening area was large, and all subsequent areas varied from slightly smaller to much smaller. Witcher 3 does the opposite. The opening area is relatively small. My first thought was, " Oh **** Im going to blow through this in a week if it's this small. Then as soon as I finished the starting area I realized how immense the world was, and how filled it was with things to do. Every quest has character and importance to the local populace. I can go on for hours. Or at least an hour or two. The simplest way to put it is that this is the greatest Role Playing Game created to date. A must play for anyone who enjoys RPG's. CDProjekt accomplished what they set out to do. Now they just have to clean up the bugs, create some good DLC, and hopefully begin working on their next masterpiece.… Expand

    1. Story - While some parts of the story are really worth grinding through the end, other parts will ruthlessly attempt to murder your will to play with their indescribable inanity, as most of the main story seems like an endless "bait and switch" type of deal.

    2. Battle system - Simplified, which is a plus for me, even though the battles themselves are nothing to write home about.
    3. Quests - Absolutely NOTHING you haven't already seen. Fetch quests, hunt quests, Races, treasure hunts, they might sound different but they're not. You go somewhere, get a quest, go somewhere else, use witcher senses, kill something, get treasure, repeat. The battles are extremely boring, and i was playing on Death March difficulty. I would compare the quest variety to that of "Arkham City".
    4. Music and Graphics- These are two of the very few aspects that are so well done, they actually make the rest of the game bearable.
    5. Content - The forging system from Witcher 2 is here as well, meaning You'd have to scour the map for an armorer that is able to craft a decent pair of swords and armor. Though, you'll find, later in the game, that most of the diagrams you've amassed are inherently worthless unless they are of Witcher quality. Basically they get you chasing for an actually USEFUL diagram, only to find out you can't use the item until level 150. Which is fine and well in a free-to-play MMORPG, that uses the gimmick to get you hooked and playing, but this is a single player game. To resort to such methods in a game of this caliber is just stupidly unnecessary. I've never ridden a horse in real life, but even i can tell that the horse's animation and movement is terribly stiff. Lucky you can change Geralt's movement. The monsters are rehashes of their old designs, with an updated texture and animations. There are some new Monsters that spice things up, some mini bosses that are basically bigger versions of regular monsters meaning the battle won't be that much different. The maps are large and filled with trees and wolves. Fast travel helps, but not a lot. There is a fair amount of hidden treasure spots scattered across the map, which can help decrease the boredom, though, again, not by a lot. The Gwent mini game can be heaps of fun, but it's like a fetch-quest-driven-Hearthstone, meaning your game depends a lot on the cards you have found thus far.

    In summation, it seems to me that Witcher games are an acquired taste. They're not for everyone, but some might just get lost in the game and enjoy themselves thoroughly. Me on the other hand, I have played/liked this game for days. Didn't love it, mind you, but i thought it was well made and occasionally fun. But after completing almost 90% of the Novigrad map and the quests found in it, i got really tired with the slow pace of the main storyline, the predictable quests, the uninspiring game play, to the point where i lost the urge to keep on playing. Now, even a 10 minute run feels like a colossal waste of time. So, good game, but not for me.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 is a great western role playing game. It follows a more traditional role playing experience and should feel very familiar to fans of European style RPG mechanics.

It follows a more traditional role playing experience and should feel very familiar to fans of European style RPG mechanics. While the Witcher 3 has a number of core problems that become more and more noticeable as players spend the hundred or so odd hours completing the game, it is on the whole a great game that accomplishes a lot of things many recent role playing games couldn't achieve.

    In Geralt's third outing, we see a return to a story that puts the world at stake, the titular character placed firmly in its center, though sometimes to an egregious degree. While the story is for the most part involving, well told, and under the influence of the player's actions, the latter point is especially apparent in how certain events, while seemingly urgent, occur simply whenever the player chooses, occurring on time despite the player potentially taking in-game weeks to trigger the event. It doesn't seem like too huge a deal, but I think the NPC and world interactions in Dark Souls have really spoiled me, and have consequently made me much more aware of Geralt's position in the center of the universe.

    One thing a lot of people gloss over is the gameplay. The combat system is basic and works fairly well; in combat, Geralt is agile and capable of dancing around multiple attacking targets, using his signs more fluidly, and chaining attacks together. It's not a particularly complex system, but works well and gives the player all of the tools they really need to fight anything in the world a short time in. The problem with the combat is that it sees very little evolution throughout the game, and is held back for a number of reasons. Geralt is still limited to his swords, which have identical attacks but are intended for different targets, as per usual. Geralt can modify the nature of his attacks' effects through upgrades, slotted modifiers, oils, and consumable items. Earning experience in the world through quest completion, finding hidden upgrade nodes, and murdering everything is put to acquiring skill points that are used to upgrade Geralt's abilities, but there exist a number of problems with this system as well. Leveling up is quite slow, and many of the abilities modified Geralt in disappointing or unnecessary ways, despite my playing on the Death March difficulty on my first playthrough. There is a lot of missed potential in the abilities Geralt acquires, which amount mostly to basic scalars, such as allowing Geralt to carry more bombs and potions and whatnot. The most interesting and powerful upgrades are found in the sign upgrade tree, having the most impact on gameplay and becoming hilariously powerful late in the game, if the player chooses to invest heavily in them. While these abilities are cool, simply putting skill points into them doesn't allow Geralt those abilities, since they also have to be slotted into Geralt's available active skill slots, of which there are only twelve, compared to the total of 70 abilities. What's more is that unlocking the next tier of upgrades per tree has you arbitrarily dumping points into abilities you may never even use, just to get something you want further down the tree. You also unlock these active slots fairly slowly, gaining your last by the time you've reached the end of the game. On the whole it's a disappointing system that expands the player's abilities horizontally, and without much depth.

    While the Witcher 3 also features some standout enemy designs and quite a variety of them, there's a lot of palette swapping of attacks and models that are in some part excusable given the breadth of the game and the relatively small team designing it. Still, it's hard to shake the feeling that fighting one variation of an enemy archetype equates to fighting them all. Many quests also follow simple and formulaic designs for the most part, but also feature interesting and detailed scenery, insight into the world, well voiced characters, and well executed plots. Despite the repetitive nature of a lot of the side quests, I was still eager to complete them as they all felt like they fit in the world, and sometimes even unexpectedly played into the final outcome of the game. The main quest is also consistently great, with an impacting third act and epilogue especially. It's sad, then, that the world after the game's completion is so empty, with major characters disappearing entirely, giving players who have completed the main quest nothing to return to.

    Despite all of my criticisms, I still think the Witcher 3 is a great game, and among the best of its kind to be released in some time. It's beautiful and richly atmospheric, sprinkling in real folklore with a fantasy theme, while also executing its mature subject matter fairly well. While the combat and leveling systems are fairly shallow, I felt sufficiently powerful from the start, and increasingly proficient as I progressed happily, though slowly, to the finish.    … Expand

    The combat isn't perfect, but it's fun, competitive, and serves its purpose. The boss battles are tough, and require different techniques. The card game gwent is fun, and a good way to waste time and get away from the action. The team at CDPR have kept the game updated and have fixed plenty of bugs, while adding new quests, and one of the biggest post launch free upgrades in new game plus. The first expansion in Hearts of Stone is great, and the second expansion is supposed to be even bigger.

    CD Projekt Red have crafted a rich world full of fantasy, ambiguity and political intrigue. Even the seemingly smallest of tasks can become elaborate quests. The Bloody Baron quest line in particular is unforgettable. The storytelling, voice acting and relationships Geralt has make the world feel tangible and believable. The change to open world meant a means of fast travel was needed. Of course you can travel via signposts or you can get where you need to go on your trusty steed Roach.

    The game can be quite serious but also knows when to have a bit of fun and humor as well. You can participate in fist fights and horse races. You can also play a round of Gwent. I liked the in game card game so much I even ordered the PS4 version of the Witcher 3 just for the Gwent cards.

I am happy to see them succeed and can't wait for CyberPunk.

    That said, reviews are personal and for me me this is a solid 7/10 game - solely because this game is having a hard time keeping my attention. I am about 55 hours into the game but not sure I will keep going. I owned the game since May so I really only play less than 10 hours a month since I would rather play other games.

    Pros:

    - Georgous graphics for an open-world game, and great character models for the main cast.
    - Some good dialogue. Geralt has a personality I enjoy - though it doesn't always work in the context of what is happening.
    - Strong female characters - I know people have claimed this series is very sexist but they have come a long way. Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, Kiera, and even some small side characters have strong moments.
    - Morally grey moments - this game does a good job of making you think at times and does not have obviously right - wrong decisions like many games.
    - game does a good job of making you play an outsider. A vast improvement over playing heroes that people fawn over
    - interesting monsters
    - love the quest journal that is narrated by Dandelion. Really more RPGs need to copy this. Yes it takes effort, but I like reading the quest journal. Also enjoy the people and monster journals which are better than games like Dragon Age.
    - Novigrad - best in-game city I've ever seen.
    - good soundtrack

    Cons
    - I eventually got used to the control scheme, but it remains awkward on keyboard/mouse.
    - combat can feel simplistic - just Quen and fast-attack, occasionally dodge.
    - a lot of copy / paste in the open world. Most towns are populated by the same people saying the same one-liners. The one-liners are sometimes odd enough that you notice them since they would not be something you would expect 20 people to all say.
    - inventory is a mess
    - a lot of ambient characters are annoying / gross. It isn't necessary to hear someone loudly snorting in your face. And several people do this in every village.
    - villager Ai is stupid. If you stand still on your horse on a road, for example, they will walk slowly into you and then scream loudly about it.
    - too many ?s. Id rather the game only mark quest objectives and let you explore. It's not realistic that Geralt would sense 100 points of interest nor would it make sense that he would spend months combing over every inch of the open world when there are supposedly more pressing things to be done. This destroys the story pacing and also just makes the map feel cluttered. Which is odd since
    - a lot of the world feels empty, which is more realistic, but can be a time sink traversing it.
    - needing to find a sign post to fast travel also feels like a time sink.

    If this was an objective review I would rate this a 9 for everything it does right - but for me this is a solid 7 since the totality of the experience doesn't draw me in or keep me interested.    … Expand

    I was so hyped for this game when it was shown at E3 I thought for sure it wasn't going to live up to expectations but it actually did. In the Witcher 3 you start out in a bleak and unforgiving world and you as the player can either change it for the better or worse because almost every chose in this game has consequences so be very careful with what you do and say.

In the Witcher 3 you start out in a bleak and unforgiving world and you as the player can either change it for the better or worse because almost every chose in this game has consequences so be very careful with what you do and say. Every side mission felt so good and like they had so much thought put into them. The combat felt fluent and fun especially on the hardest difficulty, you had to actually prepare for each fight (with potions and oils). The story is where this game shines, it made me cry and laugh with some of my favorite characters dying and witty emotionless jokes from Geralt that were surprisingly funny. This game did have some flaws with bugs which weren't game breaking for me just funny like Roach flying and Triss's breasts bouncing with every change of camera angles but that is the only flaw I can think of. All in all this game deserves a 10/10 everyone needs this game its a must own for everybody's library.… Expand

    BRILLIANT! EXCELLENT! PERFECT! I just wanted to have a look on the game while visiting my friend. I ended up with my own copy playing for days and totally falling in love with this game! I don't even know what to point out here because everything is perfect in my opinion. I wish all games looked like this. It is one of the best games I've played in my life. 10!

The game unlike previous witcher titles has a much improved combat system that allows for new players and more experienced players to both find a balance where the new and the experienced players can both shine without it being too hard or too easy to utilize. Altogether the storytelling interesting combat, massive world, great visuals, many, many hours of game-play and yet more makes this game 10/10… Expand

    I've followed this series since the 1st one, though I just watched playthroughs of Witcher 1 because I couldn't stand the combat.

The graphics were insane and the RPG elements were groundbreaking. Then came Witcher 2. I saw the game for $20 on release at a discount store that I'll not name and thought "what the heck" and purchased it. The Witcher 2 turned out to completely shatter my opinions of RPGs of the past. I played the BG series, the Dragon Age games (at the time DA2 had been released several months earlier), final fantasy games and Neverwinter Nights. Witcher 2 absolutely demolished all of them. Up until The Witcher 3, I found the Witcher 2 to be the greatest of all time. Then came Witcher 3. I have to admit I enjoyed Witcher 2's story slightly more but I still think Witcher 3 had a phenomenal story. The game has so many twists and turns and your decisions will affect the outcome. I've seen a few people complaining about being forced to use an xbox controller. I don't understand the problem with this. There are several games that command the use of a controller including Assassin's Creed games. This is a non issue for me. I've heard of a few people complaining about the control over Geralt and again, it's not an issue for me. Because some people complained about the controls, CDPR released an alternate type of control. Hopefully this satisfies those who do not like the original controls. The graphics on PC are probably the best I've ever seen in a game. Seriously. Nothings comes close. Considering this is an open world game and it runs without shudder at 4k resolution with Hairworks cranked up on a PC with a 4 year old processor and motherboard makes that all the more impressive. Again, I found the story in Witcher 2 to be slightly better but that is not a slight. I would not debate on which had a better story through because they both had their strongpoints. This game is a mature game. It does not deviate much from the books so if you're looking for a liberal utopia like Dragon Age 1, 2 or 3 then this is not your game. It doesn't care about your views but it will force you to make some moral decisions. You will not be a hero. This game does not inform you on which decision is the better decision because almost all decisions offer a positive or negative or maybe a few of both. The game does not insult your time by jamming fetch quests down your throat. The closest thing to fetch quests is the witcher armor missions, the guarded treasure, and the treasures that can be found by investigating the sea floor and surface alike. However, if you don't want to get the stuff, you do not have to. I've heard some people say that the side quests offer more of a story than the main story quests. This is probably the first time I've enjoyed a game with this much meat. I put well over 100 hours into the game and I gotta say, I loved every minute of it.… Expand

    I have NEVER played a game this good. Just to keep it simple, please go and buy it. The Witcher 3 is the game that every gamer should experience. Just ... buy it.

    I'll give a 2 for graphics ... its nice...
    Controls (Keyboard / mouse) are abysmal, sluggish, lagging and whatnot... and that was AFTER the gamefolderbin***.ini modification ..

    graphic are nice but really just a repetition in the different areas ... (the few i saw).
    The storyline are probably great BUT i really had NO patience in waiting for it...

    Go Play Skyrim instead....

    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.
