    - very unrealistic and strange wind behaviour (can be fixed by mod)
    - repetitive faces
    - swordplay from horse
    - not very smart NPCs
    - game save logic sometimes (it saves your game before dialogue, after which there is a boss fight. So if you get killed, you need to get through whole dialogue again.)    … Expand

    A game masterpiece. The best game I have ever played. A wonderful world, graphics, mechanics, characters, music. You don't get bored in this game. Very interesting side quests, many of them could be included in the main plot. Everyone has to experience this adventure!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is quite complex, but theres no freedom. There's only one way to play the game, you have to use every gameplay mechanic aspect such as crafting, alchemy, upgrades, or you're going to struggle in the game. How to do that? loot every single thing you see. But not all ingridients are easy to get, so it feels like a fetch quest outside the quests list. I personally despise fetch quests in video games because they're just a chore and often just a thing disguised as 'exploration'. The controls is one of the worst I've ever seen in a game post 2010 that its so offputting, especially knowing how hyped this game is even until now. I play on the best performance setting possible and it doesn't help. Tried both controller and keyboard+mouse it doesn't make it better either. Looting and combat are heavily affected by the unresponsive controls. The combat itself is very tactical and as I mentioned earlier its impossible to play this in any other way, you're a witcher after all. All the perks, items, and skillsets are important to help you ease the challenge the combat offers. That is a good thing, if the bits and pieces are acquired in more creative ways other than the tedious looting. The open world is uninteresting and areas feel samey. Its full of question marks of places unworthy of exploring usually scattered with enemies, so exploration isn't exploration rather its just giving yourself more things to slash and loot. Many quests (not all but mostly) whether its main/side follow the same pattern. Find the red flashy things with the annoying filtered camera zoom, follow the trail, meet the enemy, fight, go back to quest giver. The worst thing is, you have to do them. Side quests aren't side quests at all. It technically forces you to do it or you'll be underleveled in combat. So theres zero freedom on how you approach the game. Narratively The Witcher 3 isn't a good place to start the franchise if you actually highly value lore and stories in video games like I do. The dialogues are lore heavy and when you know nothing about its just less interesting. The pacing of the story is slow but it wouldn't be a problem if The Witcher 3 open world isn't bland. In conclusion The Witcher 3 suffers confusion of its game design which values quantity over quality. The only good part of the game is the main quests and its choice of dialogue options but that can be a chore at some point.… Expand

    ŚWIAT
    Świat w Wiedźminie 3 jest przedstawiony świetnie, jak nie najlepiej w całej serii. Jedynie pierwsza odsłona podejmuje walkę. Mrok, masa odcieni szarości w pomieszaniu z słowiańskim klimatem(który ostatnio wywołuje tyle kontrowersji) Sprawdza się świetnie. Oczywiście nie chodzi mi tu o grafikę, o której zaraz.

    ŚWIAT
    Świat w Wiedźminie 3 jest przedstawiony świetnie, jak nie najlepiej w całej serii. Jedynie pierwsza odsłona podejmuje walkę. Mrok, masa odcieni szarości w pomieszaniu z słowiańskim klimatem(który ostatnio wywołuje tyle kontrowersji) Sprawdza się świetnie. Oczywiście nie chodzi mi tu o grafikę, o której zaraz. Chodzi mi o postacie, książki, lokacje, dialogii.
    DIALOGI
    Najlepszy polski dubbing. To jest pewne. I nie chodzi mi tylko o gry ale a jakiekolwiek dzieło kultury. Postacie mają świetnie dobrane głosy, widać że wiedzą o co chodzi i są spójne. Oczywiście dubbing samego Geralta jest fenomenalny, a to ważny wymóg żeby polubić bohatera. Poza samymi głosami ważne jest to jak dialogii są napisane, a to jeszcze wyższy poziom zaawansowania. Bezkompromisowe dialogii napisane w sposób dojrzały, książkowy wręcz. Postacie nie traktują gracza jak dziecko, któremu wszystko trzeba podać na tacy. A i czasami przy*******ą solidnm k***a, co na pewno cieszy polskich graczy.
    SYSTM WALKI
    Jest.
    FABUŁA
    Poszukiwania Ciri i powolne odkrywanie co ją łączy z dzikim gonem wyszło świetnie w tej produkcji. Fabuła jest bardzo ciekawa, zawiła, posiada wiele małych detali, nawiazań. Przedewszystkim jest też bardzo realiatczna. Gracz czuje że taka historia mogłaby się zdażyć w świecie wiedźmina. Niektorzy narzekają na motyw ratowania świata przez Geralta. Mi to osobiście nie przeszkadza, a jeżeli komus tak to zapraszam do lektury nastęonego akapitu.
    ZADANIA POBOCZNE
    CD Project chwaliło się tym, że udało im sie uniknąć zadań "Fedexowych", czyli zadań typu: przynieś, podaj, pozamiataj. Każdy quest w Wiedźminie 3 ma swoją własną historię oraz własne zagadki. Często te historie są bardzo przyziemne, swojskie. Przypominają przygody Geralta z czasów dwóch pierwszych tomów opowiadań.
    OTWARTY ŚWIAT
    Jest to chyba najlepiej zrealizowany świat w grach. Każdy centymetr Velen, Skellige czy Novigrady jest zaprojektowany z olbrzymią dbałością. Każdy krzak, każde drzewo, każda szafka w każdym domu. To wszysto ma sens i jest niesamowicie spójne. Mapa jest pełna pytajników do zbadania... Nie pojawiają się one jednak znikąd. Musimy najpierw przeczytać tablicę ogłoszeniową która nam opisuje gdzie dane miejsce się znajduje i co możemy tam znaleźć. Teoretycznie nie trzeba używać minimapy(pomysł na nsstępne przejście gry?) Najbardziej mi jednak zaimponowało to, że na Geralta czeka masa skarbów i sekretów które nie są zaznaczone na mapie. Czasami jest to element budujący klimat, opuszczona chata, zwłoki pary kochanków z listem leżącym zaraz obok. Niekiedy jednak jest to skrzynka z świetnymi przedmiotami leżąca pod jakimś zawalonym drzewem.
    GRAFIKA
    Nie bez przyczyny trzecia odsłona przygód Geralta do dziś jest używana jako benchmark we wszelkiego rodzaju testach. Najmocniejszą stroną grafiki jest odwzorowanie natury. Piękne lasy kołyszące się na wietrze, Realistyczne chmury, na które odziałowuje wiatr. Trawy, pola, łąki to wszystko stoi na najwyższym poziomie.    … Expand

    Yesterday, I decided to continue playing my latest save. Went through a lovely side quest and spent 4 hours to complete it. Had great fun in all moments of it. Spent more than 200 hours on just 1 playthrough, including the DLC's. I don't know if any game will give this pleasure again.

There is so much to do and explore in this amazing world and 95% of it is fun, unlike most big RPGs like this, where half the content is grindy, repetitive and boring. I seriously cannot put into words how incredible of an experience this game is, so I won't even attempt and I'll try to keep this short. The only bad thing I can say about this game are the glitches, but I haven't run into a single gamebreaking one yet, and CDPR seem to be doing everything they can to fix those ASAP, unlike most developers nowadays. But the pros outnumber the cons at least 10:1.

    Overall, this is one of the best games I have ever played. You can see the passion and the hard work that CDPR put into this game. It is truly a beautiful and immersive experience. Some parts will make you laugh, others will make you cry and, when the music kicks in and you draw your sword, you will feel like a Witcher.

    I recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs and even if you don't, I'd consider giving this one a shot. There is enough content in here to justify a $120 price tag, so don't worry about that.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games I have ever played and the best RPG I have ever played by far.    … Expand

The main story is great, although not the best the game has to offer in my opinion. At one point in the story, the game was asking me to track someone down, so they can tell me where to find someone else, so that i can find another person, with the ultimate goal of finding ciri, that i wasnt a fan of. The side quests though, are brilliant. There are so many and all vary so much. Its incredible how they managed to make so many different stories. I did the side quests along with the main story, in times where it felt appropriate to do them and when i felt that doing them fitted the plot, or when they were closest to me, which is how I believe they should be done. I know some like to do the side **** after finishing the main story, but i believe this will lower the overall experience. Every single piece of optional dialogue, i clicked on because i was genuinely interested in what was happening and wanted to find out more. I love the lore also, and there is A LOT of lore. I played this game prior to reading the books or playing the previous games, but post watching the show (which i didnt really enjoy) so coming into it i knew almost nothing besides some of the main characters ( i was so confused who dandelion was) and i was still so fascinated by everything. Gameplay wise, its just sorta mediocre. Its not bad but its not all that. It works and when making a build that suits you more, it does get more fun. Also when not spamming quen, the fighting will start to vary more. But the fact that you can literally spam the dodge button in any direction and you will be invincible, makes it kinda easy. Even on deathmarch, the game just didnt give much of a challenge after the beginning. Please do play on deathmarch by the way, because thats the only time u will want to actually use oils and the correct bombs and potions and **** to do certain boss fights, and actually feel like without them you wouldnt be able to do the boss fight anywhere near as effectively. There is a noticeable amount of bugs in the game, roach (the horse) for example i often want to behead because pf constantly getting stuck. Besides that though, any other bugs arnt really that annoying and the ones that are wont show up that often, but they are definitely there. The play time u get from this game as well is amazing. Any play through u do will easily go past the 100h mark. If it wernt for the bugs and if the novigrad part of the game was so “find this person to find this person”, then i would give it a 10 out of 10. But considering the bugs are most times a very minor inconvenience as the horse getting stuck only lasts about a second, and the novigrad part still has interesting lore and stories, i think this game is still the best thing ive ever played, and ive played a lot of story mode games.… Expand

I'm from EU - Slav so probably that's why it speaks to me more but I'm literally spending my time on google and looking for a game like Witcher 3, only Dragon Age series comes a little close. I really hope that there will be another Witcher game because I'm feeling empty right now. Will probably play NG+ just to ease the pain. But yeah, if you're looking for a solid, fantasy, single player, rpg game then Witcher 3 is it. Especially since it's so cheap on sale these days. My personal game of the decade, right here.… Expand

The world is vibrant, and the cast of characters are memorable and well-written. There is plenty of content in the game and the world is very stunning to look at even years after it has been released.

    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.
