    I couldn't finish Witcher 1, I didn't play Witcher 2, and I feel in love with Witcher 3. It could be the best RPG I've ever plained. It's definitely up there with Mass Effect series, DA: origins (Hated the Inquisition), KOTOR.

    Gwent is amazing, the loot is fantastic, and the side quests and characters are very well done. I really, really wish all future RPGs are made this well.

    This game is really uniqe. The best in the witcher franchise (At least I think so). The game DOES have its flaws ( just like every game ever, but they're forgivable ). The combat system is amazing, the story is interestring all the way, even the smallest sidequests is really amazing. Best RPG since DA: Inquistion and Skyrim. Simply 10/10, a master piece.

    Even though I'm from Poland, I was always approaching The Witcher series with a distance - I considered the gameplay of the first one lacking, and the second one was a little too limited and short for my taste, but I very much liked it anyway, but not as much as Skyrim for instance.

    And then this one comes, right after I finally got my copy of GTA V, for which I waited a lot.

    And then this one comes, right after I finally got my copy of GTA V, for which I waited a lot. I installed Wild Hunt just to check it out, with intention for it to wait until I'm done with completing at least the plot in Rockstar's newest masterpiece. Yeah, right.

    Witcher 3 is THE most immersive game I've ever played. You can find stuff to annoy you within this game, like a lot of people are trying to, but don't do that to yourself. Just sink in.

    Every second spent in the world, whether it's just sightseeing, exploring question marks, completing wide range of quests or even playing Gwent is filled with extreme joy. World is beautiful (it has its charm even on low/medium settings), plot is interesting, music is incredible.

    But the best thing about this game is that it makes you feel responsible for your actions and decisions. Whatever you do, it has meaning. This is extremely rare in video games sadly, and here it's really, REALLY well executed. I'm amazed.

    Witcher 3 might have its flaws, but at the end of the day, all of those barely matter. We just got epic game, that all future RPG games will be evaluated by. Hats down to CDP Red!    … 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.

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

    Questing/contracts have different conclusions depending on your decisions, and the amount of quests are basically endless. Combat mechanics are nice when you get used to them, and character build can vary greatly -- all of these things leads to amazing replay-ability (not to mention all of the different endings). Dumped about 80-90 hours in to the game, and I've probably explored 10% of the game in terms of total content.

    Both DLC's are amazing, and distinctly unique from one another.    … Expand

    Best cRPG - and possibly first true RPG - game since Baldur's Gate 2. Fallout 4 is a children's book to Witcher 3's Dostoyewski, Lem or Wharton. Original, non-repetitive, beautiful, complex non black-and-white world... Witcher 3 is a game that you can't afford to miss.

    The story is top notch, the voice acting fantastic, and the world absolutely stunning and incredible. It is HUGE. I am 30 hours into the game and have barely even scratched the surface of the Velen the area after the tutorial area. This wolrd is absolutely massive. The quests are amazing as well. They are engrossing and many times rather emotionally moving. The Bloody Baron's "Family Matters" and the witch's "Mice in the Tower" quests come to mind immediately. I was torn as to what to do, and the results of my own choices clearly had an effect on the NPCs with whom I interacted.

    It also runs well (using the lowest settings) on sub-minimum spec laptop. Even on the lowest possible settings it is visually gorgeous and vibrant. The world is alive.

    I cannot say enough about this game. It is the best of the best and the new benchmark by which all future games will be evaluated. If you have not done so, treat yourself to this game. Get it. Play it. Enjoy it.    … Expand

It is also very loyal towards the Witcher books in its own way. It offers us a huge repertoire of monsters that all come from European folklore which is cool to say the least.
    Worst things about this game are a weird gameplay, not real exploration (Bethesda does it much better) and a kind of boring main story. But all in all I didn't get bored at all and left me wanting more, this game deserves the 10 in my opinion.    … Expand

    I urge you to consider this game even though you are not a fan of RPGs and I also suggest playing it on a higher difficulty setting because that is when the true beauty of combat, alchemy and crafting starts to shine.
    There are so many things to say about Witcher 3. How fantastic story it has, how brilantly it addresses mature themes and topics, how deep and complex it is and how masterfully it simulates life in a medieval setting but there is only one way to truly experience this jewel and that is to play it. Do that and take a week or more off from whatever you are doing for this is going to be one hell of a vacation! You ll never forget this ride! The only shortcoming is that its already over for me.. how do I envy those who are still about to expecience it!    … Expand

    One of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Some bugs, but nothing that is breaking the vibe.

    All of the quests make sense. i.e. there are no "fetch me 5 nirnroot"-quests. Most of the side-quests have a better story than entire other games. Plus, the quests are fun. Not like : do this, do this and then do that". It really is a small story. Can't remember the last time    One of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

    + Gwent is actually enjoyable, to my eternal surprise
    + fantastic in-game bestiary that's worth reading just to enjoy it
    + tracking down schematics, hunting materials and upgrading your specialised gear is very satisfying
    ~ ...but the convoluted crafting UI will trick you into thinking it's more complicated than it actually is
    ~ disparity in levelling time between main quests where you'll gain 3 or 4 levels in an hour and side content that has you desperately scraping together that last 50 EXP points
    ~ combat quickly becomes dull on lower difficulty settings
    ~ some levelling skills are very obviously better than others
    - some users are reporting major bugs (however after 60 hours of gameplay I've yet to encounter any)
    - main storyline is a tired rendition of good versus evil and lacks the subtlety and intrigue of its predecessor (though it's undeniably more welcoming to newcomers)

    I don't normally give 10s for anything but I can't give a 9.5 and it's worth so much more than a 9.

    A few tips: turn off hair effects, you'll notice a framerate improvement of 10-15FPS immediately. Play on one of the higher two difficulties; it's intimidating at first but you'll find it much more satisfying. Pick up every quest you can; even if you're 20 levels too low you can always come back later. Don't feel pressured to go everywhere and do everything right away; every village you come across will have enough content to keep you going for at least an hour or two. Invest your first few skill points into Axii: Delusion, it's helpful in dialogues.

    And finally, if in doubt: spam Igni.    … 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.
