    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a stupendous achievement for CD Projekt Red. This is a studio rich in love for the RPG genre, and it shows.

    An amazing journey of a monster hunter in every way possible.

    Visuals are nice for 2015, but that's where positives end for this wannabe RPG. Assassin's Creed at least tries to do something fun, like climbing and parkour, but Witcher 3 is just endless same old old same old.

    This game's biggest fault is it's main character, he is just not relatable in any way. I would actually prefer, if some of these female characters was actual main character of Witcher 3, because they were at least somewhat likable and interesting. Even tho i would actually prefer character creator, so you could actually make yourself cool, likable character.

I have absolutely nothing against female nudity in video games, but if that's your main selling point, then it becomes a problem. It's the exact same reason why Cyberpunk sold over 13 million copies. They said game has naked females and automatically every nerd ever pre-ordered it. It's almost pathetic how easy it is to sell your game. Just put naked females into it and it can be emptiest, most buggy game possible, but it had female nudity and sells over 13 million regardless. That's why games are dying, thanks to companies like CDproject. They over promote their games with sex and nudity, while actual game/gameplay is extremely outdated.… Expand

    Ok now I got to be honest in this one.

    At first I felt At the beginning I felt that the game was too overwhelming, too big and too adult for me because I came from Skyrim, and to make a comparison was impossible because they were the ''two greats'' of the genre. I watched an advice video about the game. When I came back I was excited, and when I left White Orchard.... 210 hours    Ok now I got to be honest in this one.

    I watched an advice video about the game. When I came back I was excited, and when I left White Orchard....

    210 hours are the number of hours I have played. I've played the main campaign 2 times and I'm waiting for the next-gen update to play the DLC's again. The world of The Witcher 3, the Continent, is plagued with evilness, hunger, suffering, sadness and war, that's what you see, and the folklore and richness of the world will make all this stuff charming. Thanks to the huge amount of different and side quests, enemies, how the world reacts to you and your decisions (nothing to do with Skyrim by the way), the beauty of the game itself, the characters, the story, even the gameplay, everything! This game will catch you, and when you finish it you will realize that you played the best game ever. And that if you used your time for something worthwhile.

    5000 characters are too few to be able to express all the love and respect I have for this game, all the affection I have acquired for the characters and how I enjoyed the main campaign. But maybe they are enough to talk about the DLC's.

    Hearts of Stone is fantastic and introduces you to one of the best villains of the saga of video games, I do not want to detail more because although it is worthwhile, what I want to talk more than anything is the second DLC. And even so, it's a sin not to buy the whole game.

    Blood and Wine... Imagine a place where you gather the most beautiful of French, Italian and Spanish culture. That beautiful music, those colors, that attitude of the inhabitants of Toussaint... after wars and suffering, after death, you arrive in a world full of life, wealth, abundance and nobility. Someone who has a strong European identity would cry from happiness if such a place existed. Toussaint is magnificent, and I repeat it because I measure my words, MAGNIFICENT. A year after playing the DLC I am still humming the songs, I even have them downloaded on my phone and know how to play them on instrument. I already loved The Witcher 3, it was already the best game I'd ever played in my life, and then came Toussaint....

    It's a near perfect game. It's magnificent. It's wonderful. It's The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Ну а что касается уже самой игры это просто шедевр. В третьей части появилась офигенная графика, геймплей, огромный открытый мир (в общем все довели до ума). Каждая минута игры в третьего Ведьмака доставляет удовольствие, да что уж тут - не всегда хочется включать игру пока не послушаешь песню "В поле спят мотыльки". Ну и саундтрек, конечно, создает неповторимую атмосферу, это касается как основной игры так и DLC (Больше всего запомнилась песня о Гюнтере О'Диме).

    Сюжет. (БЕЗ СПОЙЛЕРОВ) Что касается него тут тоже можно говорить бесконечно, опять же для фанатов вселенной именно он на первом месте. Наконец-то появляются Йен, Цири и многие другие важные пер-сы саги. Еще есть такая тема, что канон ли сюжет игр о Ведьмаке, я могу с уверенностью сказать, что для меня это канон. Да, в игре присутствуют концовки и другие выборы по ходу игры (Это же RPG), вот тут конечно можно и поспорить по поводу каноничности тех или других выборов. Но все равно даже после прохождения на одну концовку, хочется пройти на другую - вот в этом и фишка. И еще круто, что есть переносы сейвов из второй части, опять же не знакомые с вселенной думают это не сильно важно, а для фанов это формирует окружающий мир, смотря на результат принятых решений, ну и можно встретить старых друзей из 2-ой части)). И стоит упоминуть огромную, огромную кучу интересных доп. квестов и ведьмачьих заказов.

    DLC. Есть еще и 2 Дополнения "Каменные сердца", "Кровь и вино". В общем они офигенны и проходятся как отдельные игры.

    I enjoyed The Witcher 3. It's pretty good. I'll give it 8 out of 10 points. It's not flawless, though.
    I have five main issues with The Witcher 3:
    1. The movement is not smooth. Geralt and Roach get stuck awkwardly on objects at the worst times. 2. Fast travel isn't as convenient as it could be, and I am tired of hearing the narrator repeat the same line every time I switch regions. 3.    I enjoyed The Witcher 3. It's pretty good.

There are multiple achievements that have very specific requirements, and many of them can be easily missed by accident which would force a player to replay the whole game to earn all of them.

    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.
