    Game of the generation, at least up until now. Won't be easy to surpass this. It is a great rpg, with stellar production values, a great open world to explore, a phenomenal story and lore, sidequest that don't fill like mmorpg filler busywork. It is a very, very long game, but you won't get bored. Combat is quite fun. All in all, an example of what fantasy rpgs should be.

    Do not get deceived by the Fallout 4 fanboys talking trash about this masterpiece in their outdated 1 review account.

    This game is not perfect but it sure is close to it since the dozen patches fixing almost everything like in inventory system ect.. Also keep in mind you can mod it changing the gameplay making it harder or similar to Dark souls or making the game's graphics look even better. with that said the vanilla gameplay is simple when you're used to it and will most likely not care since all you'll care about is the story and the stories told in this game are inspired from so many cultures all over the globe and from different religions to create a refreshing experience that even the side of a side quest look like a mainquest and the side quests are better than the mainquests IMO were choices still matters and make you think since its not some black and white generic choices but gray that still make you wonder which of the choices are better with the lesser evil ect..

    And then the two DLC's are two other masterpieces that feel like a new game especially the B&W expansion with new musics, And speaking of music you'll listen to over a hundred original soundtracks both in exploration and combat that are so good you'll remember them for the rest of your life just like you'll remember the breathtaking cities and lands that feel alive with their own stories to tell and change the mood of the game.

    So after doing 5 playthroughs both in vanilla and modded with 3 of this playthroughs on a pirated version i immediately bought the game when i could to play it even more with 408 more hours on steam with probably a total of 1000 hours.
    So i can say this is most certainly the best game ever created and i can't wait for cyberpunk2077.

    Go buy this game now.    … Expand

    Un juego excelente en todos sus aspectos, bien trabajado el mundo abierto, nunca te aburres y eres libre de recorrer o hacer lo que te plazca, es difícil encontrar misiones repetidas o aburridas y créeme que querrás hacerlas todas. Hasta el día de hoy 2018 sigue siendo el mejor sandbox de la historia de los videojuegos.

The scenery, and music are epic. When I say the music is epic I MEAN EPIC. It is THE BEST soundtrack in all of gaming. From the plains of velen to the mountains of skelige everything just perfectly fits together. Even the conversations in the game fell great. I don't think I could ever give a 10 to a game, but this one deserves it and rightfully so. Thank You CDprojektRed for the best game of this decade!… Expand

    Great game, great story combat system needs serious work, but more than made up for with story and Depth. also the school amour and weapon fetch "quests" are annoying as hell. The game is rightly praised the facial expressions of the characters make every other game appear wooden.

    There isn't a whole lot of new things to the game itself. But what is there is made to perfection.

    It is a really great game that deserves every single cent I spent on it, that's what a 10/10 games are for me. I spent 50$ and 100 hours of fun (Even knowing that the digital version is half cheaper) on a physical copy of GOTY edition and I don't regret it at all. Good story, good characters, good landscapes... Excellent game overall. 100% recommended

A game that i really dream of since my 30 years in gaming. Everything is special and perfect. Yeah its almost a gift from Heaven! Im scared of running out of words of how i explain this.
    - Great Open World with many surprises inside it, Not an empty open world like we encounter in MetalGearSolidVPP, Shadow Mordor, HZD, Dragon Age Inq etc ...This open world is true memorable and worth exploring!
    -Great , deep, and memorable storylines and plot in almost every Mission/Side Q along with great Cutscene and Camera angles too!
    - Fluid movement and smooth combat, Its not as great as Shadow of Mordor combat style, or Darksoulds III but well its better than previous version,
    -Great sounds, Great Voice acted and Great music.
    -Great graphics . animations, great facial expressions.
    -Great character design makes all character in game are attractive and memorable.
    - Bla bla i just cant say no more, you have to experience it yourself. Im gonna tell you this : this is NOT a game, this is EXPERIENCE.
    This is the example of how the AAA game should be delivered to customer. Everything seems Magic. Thanks to CD RED Project for giving me the best game ever in my 30 Years of Gaming.

    This is by far the golden standard of RPGs. Being a huge rpg fan and having played some of the best rpgs (knights of the old republic, mass effect 2, divinity 2), I can comfortably say that the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is by far the best RPG I have ever played. After logging over 300 hours, I wish I can unplay this game just so I can play it again. Buy this and the DLCs now if you haven't.

When you have 90+ hours of gameplay and find no mistakes, you know you have a masterpiece of a game. Other devs should take notes from CDPR

    A perfect game deserves a perfect store. One of the best games I have ever played. After playing Witcher 3 I went and played Witcher 1 and 2. I also started reading the witcher books. The universe just sucks you into the lore!! This game has set a new standard in open world RPG games. As much as I like games like Horizon, it just cannot compare to this game.

This game is an absolute masterpiece of the RPG genre, and is the new golden standard of the genre, i will explain you why: first off, in these days, that are a lot of RPGs, but very few of them seem to understand what makes an RPG an RPG, and that is ROLEPLAY, yes it's pretty self explanatory, rpgs should always have roleplay, otherwise it's not an RPG, and that is: you need to make choices as the character, and not only as the player, and those changes need to have a tangible impact in the world around you, and on the characters, and Witcher 3 masters this, your choices have imediate and long term effects, so you have to choose carefully how you'll conduct yourself. Next topic is story, and it is very good, they take a simple premise, which is finding your long lost adopted daughter Ciri, and protecting her from an otherwordly threat that is pursuing her and they expand it to a degree of complexity with the side stories Geralt will be caught in, and the numerous mishaps in the way, that it's simply amazing. The world of the Witcher 3 is to put it simply, a masterpiece on it's own, it's the best open-world i've ever seen, it's huge, but it feels so organic and full of life, that you'll feel very, very immerse into it. The game also has one of the best cast of characters you'll ever see in a video-game, each one with it's unique and rich backstory, which, by the way, is part of the vast lore of the game. The combat is simple, but engrossing, as a witcher, Geralt has a plethora of combat choices, and an arsenal at his disposal: you have light attacks, heavy attacks, your crossbow, bombs at your disposal, magical signs, potions, decoctions, etc. all these elements combined, make for one of the most interesting combat mechanics to feature in an action-rpg. I could spend much more time listing the games pros, and believe me that are many, the only con i've ever faced in this game are some of it's bugs, but nothing game breaking was experienced by me. IMHO, this game is the best rpg games in years, and alogside another masterpiece which is Pillars of Eternity, it carries the banner of other juggernauts of the genre, such as Baldur's Gate II, Planescape Torment and Gothic 2, it is one of those games that every gamer must play, and if you're an rpg fan and haven't played this game yet, what's wrong with you? get it asap!… Expand

I generally love any open world fantasy RPG, but Wild Hunt is a true masterpiece of the genre. The world is one of the most impressive I have seen, it is large, interesting, and extremely deep and engaging. I love the character and enemy design, the crones made me cringe every time I saw them and other enemies are chilling to fight. The game is very well optimized, I had no trouble with it, this is impressive because the game looks absolutely beautiful and I couldn't help but take multiple screenshots. The game play is also very polished and fun, fighting is seamless and tactical, though it could be a little more in-depth, I was disappointment that the crossbow was next to useless but in the end the sword-play is the real meat of the combat. As for the story it is extremely engrossing, interesting, and made me actually care about characters and what happened in the game. I was actually extremely disappointment that I missed a quest and the world didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. There are many choices to be made and relationships to develop, the RPG element is not overlooked and I appreciated it greatly. Even the side quests are developed in detail and are almost as interesting as the main story. With all the different quests, contracts, and treasure hunts there is a near endless amount of time to be spent with the game. There is even a card game, gwent, that could be it's own standalone game, which is fun and interesting, just like the rest of the game. Overall The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a true masterpiece and I completely recommend it to any RPG lover, action fan, or general gamer looking for fun combat, and engrossing world, or gripping story. 11/10… Expand

The games protagonist, Geralt is on a search for his daughter for most of this game, while she goes through a harrowing adventure dodging a vicious and unstoppable army. You hear, see through some short flashbacks, and are told through expository dialogue what's been happening, but it's the mundane stories and problems in the world of the Witcher that Geralt runs into that provide a very human and compelling adventure.

    It sounds strange and possible boring to be playing a minor player in a grander adventure, but as Geralt you get to see and shape the small stories that fall to the wayside in these grand adventures. Unlike most protagonists in role playing games, Geralt has a personality, history, and friend, leading to great dialogue and interactions with characters. You can shape his decisions and to a small extent his personality, but Geralt is his own man who will respond with personality all his own.

    This is in thanks to some of the best writing and cinematography in a videogame to date, giving all the characters, big, small, or even as tiny as a no name shopkeeper, personality or a story for no other reason than to flesh out the people and world. A review of the Witcher 3 wouldn't be complete without praising the absolute technical mastery that has gone into this games graphics and animations, without a doubt they give the grand vistas, horror, the emotional, and even comical moments so much more punch.

    From small things, like a grimace from a bad joke, wrinkle of the forehead, to the large things like a character crying over a friends death or the look in a mans face as falls into a suicidal despair. They don't make the story or the game, but in conjunction with the writing it provides a boost that pushes the Witcher 3 to a level above any RPG that has come before it. For Fans of the Witcher series, it's a must buy and for people completely unfamiliar with the series it is as well.

    One warning I give to players, even though it is spectacular from the beginning, the game is so large it can feel so daunting with the massive amount of content available that many players will not be able to get hooked by it with only an hour or two. But I guarantee, if you stick with it for another couple hours, do a few more quests, the game will sink it's claws into you.    … 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.
