    First I have to say that I am PC game veteran and RPG fan - playing games over 25 years now. So I have a lot to compare including previous 2 installments of the game.

So I have a lot to compare including previous 2 installments of the game. And I have to say - Witcher 3 is incredibly good. I am over 100 hours into it and I still did not get bored. Some key highlights:

    - The game is VAST. I mean really vast. And in a good way which means it is large and full of things to do. Exploring the world in Witcher 3 is very satisfying. You get to get not only new items and toys you see in other RPGs, but you can uncover new quests and become part of different and interesting stories.

    - The quests are very well construcited. Quests are structured and layered, some quests have multiple subqests. Sometimes finishing a quest will naturally lead to another one. There is a lot of twists and yoyu will be faced with meaningful choices that will make you think about your character and world he lives in. I also really like the witcher sense implementation, which gives the game a detective like feeling sometimes.

    - The world is very rich in characters and lore. If you are interested you can read books, and spend hours in bestiary/character descriptions.

    - The combat system is well thought off, abilities are fun to use and thanks to respec functionality you can try new things in the middle of the game (which is a good thing given you could have invested over 200 hours already. I have a little beef with character movement that feels a bit clunky, but it is easy to overcome.

    Conclusion: if you are a PC you must buy this game. It is the best game I have played in a very long time. Although it is pricey it is worth every penny - there is enough content for you to experience for 10 anotherr games. Very well done CD Projekt Red.    … Expand

    Best rpg game ever. DA cannot even try to compete.
    First of all - details. Game is so big, and yet - you are going to abandoned place? Path will be more overgrown and less visible. And its true for all - Witcher became highest standard for a game.

In comparison to a game like Skyrim, which contains modular graphics (i.e. a world's assets are created and then the world is populated), everything about this game feels detailed and individually drawn/designed. The amount of work that went into it must be astounding. The voice acting is top notch and even the side quests feel important. Basically, this game appears to me to be the seamless blending of both Open World RPGs and streamlined story based RPGs, where the result gives you a completely open world RPG that has enough story elements for the game to feel full and un-hollow.… Expand

    The game gets a 10 for how much enjoyment I got out of it.

    The world is open and vast and cd projekt red, filled it with interesting characters, backstories and combat that actually made me want to delve deeper into the world. This to me is a huge plus as most open world sandboxes create massive worlds and fill it with generic content (Dragon Age Inquisition being the prime offender here).

    High level complaints I have: it has far too big maps, too many side quests, too many ? points to discover (which you don't need, except to get them of your map) and too much loot.

    The crafting and alchemy system (and inventory) is tedisome and largely pointless. Potions can be very useful, but you only have to make each one once, after that, you no longer need hundreds of gathered ingredients. Same in crafting: The only thing you want to craft is the one set of witcher gear you like.

    And finally, the ending ... do yourself a favor and read a guide, when handling Ciri, otherwise you are likely in for a disappointment after ~200 hours of playtime. This they badly screwed up, giving very minor decisions an incomprehensible nasty impact. Maybe to force you into a new game+?

    Baseline, if you can relate to the universe in any way, play this! It has a lot more quantity, and a little less quality then the previous installations. Maybe wait a bit for the final bug fixing, and some good game play altering mods, which are already popping up.    … Expand

Overrated is a good word for it. Advertising your product is important in this day and age, you need to promote, you need to make sure people know of you and what you've produced. That being said when marketing is employed to fabricate value when its job should be to simply promote an already valuable product, then you should know something is not right.

It's actually so big, in some parts there is nothing to do but to explore the nature. The gameplay however, was a unsatisfying. The combat is solid and rewarding but controlling Geralt himself was sometimes really painful. The game is not designed to be played with mouse and keyboard, despite the fact that The first game was a PC exclusive.

The game is fantastic, addictive, and will appeal to all gamers, casual, hardcore and fledgling.

    But it has one drawback. one fault that, really is a result of overachieving. This game is so good, I was forced to buy over $3000 in Hardware upgrades, just to see its beauty in full swing. But even with that upgrade, including a brand new Titan X, I can still not play the game in Ultra. Its just to much win for even my beastly system.

    It will create a hurdle for many players, but will also ensure the game competes with titles in a couple of years time.

Frankly I had no reason to believe this game was anything more than an overrated cluster**** of dated game design like the first two. I eventually gave it a try and I'm damn glad I did. Since I'm giving this game a ten, I'm going to start with the bad. Yes, this game does have it's fair share of problems. This is going to be a detailed review so feel free to skip to the parts you are most interested in.

    graphics 8/10
    First of all, CD Projekt has put out yet another game with very beautiful yet very inefficient graphics. I don't want to get into specifics but the framerates on every machine I've seen it run - are incredibly inconsistent. Even on my gtx 960 there are places I simply can't go without having to tolerate sub 30fps, and the gorgeous weather effects are sometimes outweighed by the wild fps drops that come with them. The one thing I can't excuse is the lack of the ability to change the lighting quality. That said, the graphics are incredibly gorgeous when everything clicks and most impressive of all is the seamless transitions between day/night/rain/indoors/outdoors/etc. The detail put into every model, the limitless jaw-dropping vistas and great facial animations all serve to quickly enthrall you in the universe.

    UI 3/10
    Not going to dwell on this. The UI is total **** The map doesn't let you zoom out nearly enough; there are no arrows on the world map pointing to the objective; inventory gets cluttered quickly and gives you zero tools to sort/filter/search. The most unforgivable sin is putting all 200-300 of your crafting diagrams in a single, verticle line with no search bar and no filters. It doesn't even have to decency to filter out digrams that the artisan can't craft. "Happy scrolling mother****er" -CD Projekt

    Lore 10/10
    I'm going to lump sound, backstory, main plot, and presentation all into this one. At no point in this game does the music fail in its ability to immerse you into whatever it is your doing - whether its exploring, fighting, or just playing gwent. The writing is consistent with the previous games boundless cynicism and sarcastic wit. It can be very annoying sometimes, but for the most part it carries a very solemn tone and an uncensored look at the devastation of conflict. The voice acting is moving, and the game always finds a way to hit you with remorse in whatever it is you're doing. Moral issues in the game are very grey, sometimes too grey; but never fail to leave you with emotions afterwards - and often emotions you don't want. In terms of the experience, it's unrivaled by any game of this generation. Lore in general is rich and consistent, and not overly pushy about reading the countless pages and manuscripts found throughout the journey.

    Gameplay 10/10
    Gameplay is the classic area the Witcher series falls flat on it's face. This is the first Witcher game who's combat isn't held back by dated design and an outright bad overall vision. The signs have been much improved so that they all feel useful, and the monsters are dynamic that you aren't forced to use a single repetetive process. Bosses are no longer a matter of simply dying repeatedly until you've memorized all the one-hit-kill animations (Finally). Potions can be taken in combat which rewards players for thinking on their feet rather than simply punishing them for not expecting to be jumped a certain enemy. Yet with the new streamlining to combat, the game still rewards you for being prepared and still rewards you for knowing your enemy. The balance between the two is spot on, and it's both immersive AND fun. While the game does sometimes feel a little over-dependent on enemies stun-locking you, the best experiences this game has to offer are the times when you encounter a new monster. Every monster (and there are MANY) has some unique surprise that makes the first encounter something special. Frankly, the best enemy design I have ever seen. Ever. Character progression is also incredibly rewarding. Items feel unique and powerful, lots of appearances, and skills to facilitate many different playstyles. Gwent is the best minigame ever, as opposed to dice poker which was arguably the worst minigame ever. The world is big, fun to explore, and full of unique places to go. Pacing is brilliant. Shopping also is very immersive as most visits are a relatively even exchange as opposed to just pawning hordes of loot like most other rpg's.

    Last note - bugs are uncommon for a game this size.

    Overall, the game is more than the sum of it's parts. The experience of playing the game is on the level of a masterpiece and it's problems don't detract enough from it to make me feel any differently. It's hard to describe in words what playing this game is like. All I know is that every session -even over a hundred hours in - makes me walk away feeling like I have a story to tell my friends.    … Expand

There were moments in this game where I just stared at the screen, filled with wonder or a profound sadness. There were even times I would pause the game, particularly when I knew a big decision was coming up. I would go and make sure everything was done so I wouldn't be disturbed, come back with coffee in hand and just enjoy the ride.

    The game took 100 hours for me to finish, and I still had a full quest log. By that point though i was ready to see the story through. The choices I made in the game I felt were true to Geralt and though I had one of the bittersweet endings, it feels authentic -- I got what I deserved :). I am also particularly happy I played it on the second hardest setting - got to explore the deep combat as well.

    Now that it is all over I feel a little sad. The same type of feeling I've always had when I finished reading a fantastic epic. So now I'm going to get the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, and I can't wait.

    This is the first time (since Planescape) that I've felt so engrossed in a video game, and cared about its characters, dreamt about them, and want to talk to everyone about the experience. This is proof that the video game medium can be used to tell the kind of emotive and epic stories we grew up with! The future is bright!

    In the Witcher 3.. you can get lucky and find a unique schematic for a cool weapon and if you are luckier you are actually carrying around the right nonsense (steel, dark steel, shiny silver.. there is a LOT of different stuff to carry around) to have it made by a smith and you may even be very lucky and it is exactly for your Level.
    You will still sell it three Levels later and use some random weapon you found for the new Level because it makes more damage.

    Potions are even more horrible. If you want to create a Potions that make hour toenails grow really fast so you can scratch the feet of your enemies for added damage if you are wearing no boots, this is the game for you! (I don't know if this particular potion is actually in the game but it might as well judging from the deceptions could bring myself to read)

    The story is not as interesting as all the 9+ people claim, perhaps they never had the fortune of reading a good fantasy novel, there aren't many I know. But it's not bad either. Why shouldn't this Geralt dude look for his long lost foster child that is being hunted by these extremely dangerous other dudes? And why shouldn't he solve all those problems everybody has while doing so?
    And mind you, nobody else can do **** in this game. The peasants are completely useless for anything (except killing Geralt two games ago.. yeah right!) and the soldiers always have a reason why they can't do something right now. And so our mighty hero has to kill every monster on the planet and save every cat ... and only gets to rest during the long and mostly boring cutscenes.

    Most of the game I didn't mention is not completely bad. The controls are wonky, but you can get used to them. It's just so sad the designers didn't play Skyrim or any Fallout game and thought.. "hey.. there are things here that are really fun.. and stupid in our game". And given they still sell the nvidia givaway versions for like 20 bucks on ebay.. just go buy it. It may help you waste your time until Fallout 4 comes.

    But DO NOT buy it for 50+ bucks or whatever the steam loonies sell it for and if you believe you have bought the RPG of the century and rate it 9+ you need to visit a doctor.    … Expand

    This is the game with the worst control system, after patch 1.8 is still cumbersome. Inventory management is made really bad. I will not talk about graphics because frankly I do not care to play in 4K ultra etc ... but I prefer the gameplay of a title and Witcher 3 is not compelling. Typical example of the gameplay: follow the minimap to the next ? (point of interest) enemy dodge, hit, hitThis is the game with the worst control system, after patch 1.8 is still cumbersome.

Typical example of the gameplay: follow the minimap to the next ? (point of interest) enemy dodge, hit, hit dodge dodge, dodge kill, slowly loot (becase sometimes find the right angle to interact is hard), call the horse and start over. Ok it's not so simple like I descibed but is the focus of the game. Most of the quests has the same script. After reading the positive reviews I was expecting much more.… Expand

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the RPG that we have always deserved. It took me a good 150+ hours to finish all of it, and it was probably one of the best 150+ hours I have ever spent.

    CD Projekt Red deserve huge praise for creating this game. Understanding single player RPGs aren't for everyone, they sit firmly as my genre of choice and I feel like this game is a near masterpiece. It has been such a pleasure watching the evolution of the series from the first game to now, gives ya faith that people with such skills and passion are out there creating video games.

    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.
