    GOTY. the world of Skyrim, meets the combat of dark souls, meets the progression system of Shadow of Mordor. The only problem I have with this game is that it doesn't have a suicidal difficulty setting.

    I think this title may very well stand as the best RPG I have played. I strongly recommend casuals and hardcore alike to buy it and enjoy it thoroughly.

    Little Tip: Reading the books (or some of them) first multiply the already massive quality of the title. Lots of references to them.

    TLDR: Buy. Now.

    Most overrated game of all time! This game doesn't do anything new; it's a blend of all rpg's out there. Critics are praising it for no reason (maybe because 2015 has been **** so far for gaming or they haven't played Witcher 1 &2, which are by far better than 3). Then there is 'Free DLC Program,' which is just to create fanboys. These 'free' things could have been in the game but it wasMost overrated game of all time!

    The Witcher 3 have a big world but the game don't seem to know what to make of it. It's just about the main story line. Exploring is hardly rewarding, the witcher gear quests are mostly go and fetch, there are no complex dungeons, just some small caves, everything is easy rewarded, bland and empty.

    One of the best action RPG I have played. Very good graphic, best story made quests I have seen. Nice combat (in Skyrim I got bored very fast because of combat).

I've just spend 150 hours on this game, and I've given it a score of 10, so not much point in going into too many details on how good it is, but I will remain true to it's flaws however, cause need to be known.

    I can praise the game for hours on end:

    1. Awesome dialogue system
    2. One of the best fighting mechanics I've tried
    3. Extremely beautiful grafics
    4. Very large amount of quests to do, which is told in a good way
    5. It treats you like an adult, and thus making it feel more real (yes boobs are awesome and so on, but it makes going to a sauna feel more real, than if people cover themselves)
    6. Despite what many people say about the controls, I've had an easy time with it on pc, and can't imagine using a controller.

    I could go on, but I don't think I need to be specific on that.

    However, the game has some isues:
    1. Your horse Roach is dump as hell, will often run into trees, suddenly stop when you run, and often don't respond to when you call for it.
    2. The world is huge, and maybe a little to much so.... Some areas are there, but has no quests or content linked to them, which makes them feel like they are there for show.
    3. This one is a little mixed; it has a recommended level on each quest, which is good for when you need to know how much you need before taking the quests. The downside of this however, is that you will always know when a mission goes to hell, like you are supposed to talk to someone, but with the level indication, you know that you will fight, instead of having it as a surprise.
    4. It has a couple of bugs, but I've not encountered many, but it needs to be said.
    5. Romances feels rewarding, however, there are to few scenes with your loved ones (not necessarily sex scenes, but just where you spend time with Triss, cause Yennifer has more than a few scenes in the storyline)    … Expand

    Downgraded graphics? The game still looks amazing and is best looking open world game at the moment. The graphics are top notch.
    Why everyone is crying about the controls? Controls are fine, i didn't encounter any problems and i play on death march. so learn to play and stop blaming the controls.    This is definitely the best RPG ever made. I just want to thank CDPR for this amazing game.

    140 hour epic ending to witcher series. besides being well written, being atmospheric and fun this series gave me what good literature and movies give; memories that are not mine, implanting them in my head to remember in the future with a smile.

    I've completed the main quest, and it still leaves many unexplored places. Still curious to play a DLC that will be out. hohoho

    so, why is it bad?

    simple, what is the great world good for, if you only hit fast attacks, hard attacks and a roll every time...the fights NEVER change...you also dont get any xp for fights...they implemented a bestarium, but you don´t improve against a specific enemy if you fight him more often...
    there is no real skill tree...even shooter like borderlands offer more in their skill trees.
    So basicly, every fight from lvl1 to the end, is exactly the same...

    also, they showed us extrem graphics! but the final game didn´t really look like that...especially the fire and the smoke don´t like any good.

    the bar in the first town is the exact same as in the 2nd town...

    there are a lot of bugs...

    so, the witcher is a huge world with a lot of things, but the gameplay is just boring and never changes...and yes, i know there are "spells" but...in a RPG i excpect A LOT more from spells...

    he can jedi mind read but has to find pans for old womens to get information...aha...

    the game has excellent graphics, great story, big map but a big map not made to explore, only to do quests like CD Projekt Red said you can go wherever you want. but the roaming feels very limited. like the missons are pushing you along like nothing to do here. this that. otherwise just manages a just somewhat good. not much.

This game has every quality a epic RPG has to have: great characters, interesting story, big world to explore, fun combat, good character progression.

Also i am finding the graphic very bad. Don't feel the deep of the distant view, can't feel the monsters movement when they going to attack, its nothing like Dark Souls or Skyrim in this matter. I liked previous 2 Witcher games more. this is only my opinion ofc. But the game is still worth the many as it is long and sometimes rewarding so yeah grab it. Oh, and the fights... 2 attacks for whole game is way to low to make me happy in an action type rpg. I wouldn't mind that in games like Neverwinter Nights or newest Pillars of eternity but when it comes to an action-rpg then proper action is required, and here the game fails again...… Expand

While this is a very long game, even just for the main story, it manages to keep up the pace and stay interesting and even after sinking 100+ hours into it I find myself whishing there was even more.

    It picks up nicely on the events of the previous two games which gives a feel of consistancy and immersion into the universe. I noticed that CDProjectRed even paid a lot of attetion to detail in 'recontruction' locations which was featured in previous installments of the series. Just one of the many little things that makes the game great.

    Secondary quests are really fun, which is also quite unique. They are not simply all 'go fecth/ go kill" but are driven by interesting stories in their own right and even appears to weave into the main story and other secondary quests. Finally, the use of voice acting and cinematic/cut scenes is superb. You never feel like the developers got lazy and just texted it or made a half finished quest. Everything is kept at the highest quality.

    There are a couple of glitches here and there - graphical oddities and so on. And But the overall quality more than makes up for this.    … 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.
