    After playing through some more Witcher 3 after a total new PC build, I changed my review. Great game now that Geralt is a little more responsive with more PC power. He still has some of the worst controls of any game I've played in awhile with keyboard mouse or controller. Try and get him to move one step forward. Go ahead and try. It's nearly impossible. Try and get him to standAfter playing through some more Witcher 3 after a total new PC build, I changed my review. Great game now that Geralt is a little more responsive with more PC power. He still has some of the worst controls of any game I've played in awhile with keyboard mouse or controller. Try and get him to move one step forward. Go ahead and try. It's nearly impossible. Try and get him to stand still while attacking. Like just take a swipe or a swing or something while standing still. Also impossible. He leaps around like a wounded duck during combat. Weird and a step back in the genre when games like Assassin Creed and Shadows of Mordor give you near perfect control.
    The graphics may be the best I've seen in any game. However, why are the trees constantly blowing like an F3 hurricane is moments from hitting land. Yeah it's cool that all of the trees and shrubs move dynamically like that. But all day and night during even sunny weather? Chill, devs, chill.
    I love that when you hunt monsters, each target is a completely different creature with its own lore, strengths and weaknesses. Those fights are usually the most exciting.
    Gwent is a really simple card game where collecting the cards can be kind of addicting at first, but remember you are on a time sensitive mission to save your daughter/friend/girl. No time for that stuff . Mission tracking is very helpful. No time wasted searching for quest locations.
    There's lots to find exploring the map. Once you are a few levels higher than your mission requirements the game becomes easy as pie, as is the case with most RPGs. The signs the witcher can use in combat are mostly useless and I usually win most of my fights with dodging and striking at the right time or ya know.... flopping around like a wounded duck. ;)
    Fun, beautiful game, but not as ground breaking as people claim.    … Expand

Look the story, the writing and the narrative structure of this game are some of the best i have ever seen, i don't think anyone would deny that.
    My issues with the game are more gameplay and mechanical in nature: one of my biggest issues with the game is the controls in a sense, because the controls in and of themselves are fine, they make sense, however the problem stems from the wonky and frankly crappy movement animation of the character and hoarse. There seems to be a time delay between movement and controller input especially on the horse as for some reason it never responds to your commands and seems to have a mind of it's own while getting stuck constantly on the most minute pieces of scenery. and frankly the overall animation is just terrible, some of the worst i have seen since oblivion and fallout 3. Geralt himself feels like he has no body weight and moves as if he were a puppet on a string, oh and who thought it was a good idea to place those dam candles everywhere, surely this should have been picked up and fixed during playlists. Then there is the obvious graphical downgrade issue, the graphics overall are ok but unfortunately lacked that punch that the Witcher 2 had for it's time which also had far better art direction overall. Sound Design overall was fine, nothing earth shattering but fine and the music was fitting for the setting and story elements but there was nothing there memorable enough that would make me want to own a copy of the soundtrack.
    Now lastly and this is also an issue that many raised with the recent dragon age and that is the fetching and grinding and honestly i feel that there was more of that hear. i would have literally spent 80 percent of my time with this game riding and sailing all over the maps going from one guarded treasure pile to another and it wasn't any more enjoyable hear. Anyhow thats all i really have to say on this the game, it is good enough for a play through, but i won't be returning to it.    … Expand

    OK Game, but the control system completely ruins it. (Using x-box controller)
    Also there are some major bugs (Skellegs Most wanted for instance) that still need fixing even after the latest 12+gb patch.

    I couldn't get into the game. It is extremely boring and dull. The voice acting was nails on the chalkboard annoying. The combat is very simple and shallow. I had to get a refund and get myself something else.

Button mashing is often necessary and interior combat is as bad as it gets, which is a situation the game puts you in often.

    The magic signs have their importance but you will be spending most of your time recharging your shield which essentially confines your magic abilities to boosting your armor. The perks, abilities, and weapon upgrades are mechanically useful yet they fail to excite beyond their functionality.

    Dialogue wise, the genealogy of answers is quite shallow and deprived of branching - Suffice to experience Deus ex: Human revolution's dialogue system to understand what I mean by that. There is no "Game" to be found in the dialogue mechanics. The characters are inanimate dolls and the choices on offer are nothing more than a bunch of glorified playback buttons.

    Exploration wise, I think the game does a descent job in terms of environmental story telling, but nothing that is worth the praises beyond the best the competition has to offer. Shenmue 2 does much more in my opinion and the game came out nearly 20 years ago. The investigative phases are a real joke too, where you are mindlessly following red marks - yet another example of shallow, unaccomplished mechanic.

    The pacing is a real problem too ; During the first half of the game (10hrs), the story literally stalls. The game becomes more engaging once you reach the second half, but it feels too little too late. The characters are likable and by the end of the game I did feel some attachment towards some of them. The difficulty is also an issue, where the beginning happens to be much harder than the end; I beat the final bosses on my first attempts while being vastly under-leveled.

    The visuals are fairly bland retrospectively ; For instance, I find the sunsets particularly vulgar and over-saturated . The towns also, lack authenticity in their structure and layout, and that is particularly jarring if you compare it to the original Assassin's creed's urban layout, which feel substantially more authentic and researched.

    To conclude, I'd say that the disproportionate success and admiration this game has generated, comes from the fascination that the average nerd historically hold toward medieval sword and shields ; It's the "game of thrones" generation that has brought Wild hunt to the pinnacle.

    Wild hunt is not a bad game, it's just so far from being this timeless masterpiece.    … Expand

Doing all of the scavenger hunts probably took up around 50% of my played time., I think if I did every single secondary quest I ran into I MAYBE could have squeezed the length of my play through to around 50 hours.. Far cry from the 200+ that were advertised. And it's not like I'm a speedrunner or anything. The only reason why I didn't do a 100% completion game and finish every single side quest is that I totally outleveled every single side quest. I hit level 31 right before finishing the game and half of my quests were "gray" and completely useless. I started doing the secondary quests, but I was just hitting all of the level 12-20 things for around 2x their total HP with a single fast attack so... that's not really very fun.

    Experienced quite a few bugs during my play through. Nothing game breaking, but annoying nonetheless. At one point, the camera slowly zoomed forwards on to the back of Geralt's head, then zoomed inside of his face. Several times I was jumping around and Geralt got stuck floating in mid air next to an object, which I had to close the game and reload an earlier save to fix. The horse controls are completely awful, and you'll often get stuck on nothing while riding down the middle of a road. Happened to me all the time in the middle of a certain street in Novigrad.

    Don't even get me started on the endings. There are apparently three different main endings, which hinge entirely on a single quest chain. Two of the endings are pretty much the same. Smells too much of ME3 for my taste. It also reviews what happens to all of the major characters in the end of game cutscene, which is the only redeeming feature of the ending.. But it still doesn't change the fact that there are basically two endings, and they both hinge totally on a single quest chain.

    Basically, the only reason why I'm rating the game as highly as I am is because the story(apart from the ending) is fantastic, and the voice acting is top notch. Every NPC you interact with in the game has wonderful voice acting.    … Expand

Traveling on the horse is just frustrating with it's constant detours in the wrong direction and stopping because it's hit a blade of grass too high (and I'm using patch 1.07 which was supposed to improve the horse).

    The repetitive dialogue drives me nuts, it's like the people in a village have a few lines of dialogue that is repeated over and over every time you walk past. People walk into you while you're standing still and shout that you've hurt them. The combat is boring and unrefined compared to the prequels, you just cast your favourite sign then dodge/parry and then counterstrike most enemies.

    Such a shame because the story, voice acting, graphics and the attention to certain details in the game could have made this a classic.    … Expand

    Definitely one of my favorite games. Story and the Witcher universe is so large that you can easily get lost in this world. Loved every hour i spent in the game. Missions are fun and have diversity. There are also a lot of quests to do. Soundtrack is just amazing. Characters are so real. There are some technical problems like the control of the Roach but after all it's a 10/10

    Rating The Witcher 3 seems quite difficult. I have the utmost respect for all the work that went into this game. It contains a moderate amount of great ideas and fun content that seems personal and passionate, which is a true gift to gamers nowadays considering the excel-sheet game-design of current "AAA"-titles. But those fun pieces are overshadowed by design decisions that throw themRating The Witcher 3 seems quite difficult. I have the utmost respect for all the work that went into this game. It contains a moderate amount of great ideas and fun content that seems personal and passionate, which is a true gift to gamers nowadays considering the excel-sheet game-design of current "AAA"-titles. But those fun pieces are overshadowed by design decisions that throw them into a melange that, at least in my opinion, is pretty much drab and humdrum. The sum is less than it's parts. In the end, I couldn't get myself to finish the game despite trying several times.

    The Good:
    - Astonishing level-art, great models and textures (Novigrad is frickin' massive)
    - Witty episodes in-between (returning a goat; herding pigs; rock trolls; some dialogues)
    - Quest design being tied to story elements; solving mysteries.

    The Disputed
    - Story:
    Overall, its tone, atmosphere, and mentality seemed more in accordance with (the popular) "Games of Thrones" than with the spirit of its own subject. My guess is: that's the reason why this game is so popular: so "dark", so "grown up". Therefore the game's story is a grimdark succession of tragedy after tragedy. Tragedy no matter what. Why? Because of drama. Want to save children? Then other children will die. Want to be diplomatic? Can't be, everyone's corrupt. Want to survive? Kill or be killed. It's this monotonous "human nature is **** " and all around edginess ("you gotta be a dirtbag yourself") that's now copied by every major player in the media industry, be it television, films or games... smells like teen spirit.

    Yes, there also was one such tragic quest-line in the Witcher 2, a game I really liked, but that's the difference: If you repeat this concept again and again and make it your one trick pony, it gets artificial and melodramatic. Besides, while the concept of neutrality was a really interesting topic in the books and also the first 2 games, in the third game Geralt's options to act neutral seemed reduced to Geralt behaving like a stone-cold mercenary, a calculating entrepeneur, regrettably.

    The Witcher novels, as far as I remember, manage a nuanced balance of "dark" and "light" content. At it's core they also convey a lot of gritty humour, sober human warmth and friendship, exciting (i.e. NOT depressing) adventures and tales, and a lot of eroticism (there even was a testimonial from Playboy magazine on the back of the first book). In Comparison, humour, adventure, friendship, and eroticism became a minor aspect of the Witcher 3, whereas the grimdark gore and edginess went into overdrive. Alas, it's also the reason I couldn't really get into the story, I'm no fan of GoT and its grimdark dramatically dramatic drama.

    The Bad
    - Stuff to do all over the place: What to do with the (literal) hundreds of "points of interests", and how to react to the (literal) tens of thousands lootable herbs all over the place? When and what to gather? Gather them at all? Is it worthwhile? I'd say: No. You thought Zelda BotW's krog seeds were a completionists nightmare, well, you haven't seen this.
    - How to get to all these places? The game is designed in a way that the only efficient method to get to places is looking at the mini-map and following the dotted line leading you to your next spot or quest. While the scenery you walk or ride through is nice, it's just that: scenery, empty scenery. I wonder how much time players have spend looking at that dotted line on the mini-map. I wish there was an eye-tracking study about this.
    - There's so many "NPCs". But except story NPCs and merchants, you can't interact with any of them, which seems kinda odd. There's whole villages with no NPCs to talk to, just "models" walking around. The term "NPC" is misleading in this case, it's more like "bots" or just part of the non-interactive scenery, like trees.
    - Loot. Generic, random loot everywhere. Besides the witcher gear quests, there's no "artifacts" or truly special items to discover.

    - All of this adds up to: Aside from the story quests there's no real discoveries to be made, no feeling of adventure, no real incentive to explore the open world. And while I do not know the look and location of many villages in this game or the nooks and crannies of Novigrad, I remember the layout of the mini map quite well.
    - Combat and moving around the world. There are a lot of other reviews that already cover this topic in all its particulars.

    Summary / tl;dr:
    If you're a fan of GoT-style stories, don't mind spectating Geralt's dot as it travels around the minimap to your next story dialogue, and fancy your combat to be rolling and pirouetting, than there's some fun to be had with The Witcher 3 and some beautiful sceneries to be seen.    … Expand

    I loved the fact that the DLCs were free but every time a DLC was released so did a patch. The patches took the game from solid to buggy. Graphical glitches are comical like when you teleport to a signpost while on Roach and you are floating in the air. Each patch just breaks things even more. None of the DLCs really add much though. The patches did add some useful features like pinning but even that is buggy. Every time you go into Alchemy it explains pinning again. The key binding are also messed up in the latest patches. Half the time I have to unbind, bind, unbind, bind certain keys until it works. Swimming and calling the horse are the most common.

    Speaking of swimming, the sea parts are horrific. Combat is next to impossible because you balance on a tiny boat and, because of glitches, tend to simply slide into water. Combat underwater is a joke. I got to the point where I just sped past enemies. For a game where a significant chunk is water this is really bad. 2 of the worse bugs occur in water as well. In one case I had just finished fighting some sirens and suddenly I was thrown out of the boat and immediately died (I was lv 30 at full health). Another time I was standing in the boat and suddenly I "teleported" far above the water and dropped. More common is the fact that when you get close to enemies you go into combat stance and for reasons I cannot understand you cannot jump. So the logical approach of jumping out of the boat near land to fight enemies won't work.

    Overall it isn't a bad game, especially early on; but as it drags on and on it simply becomes mediocre. Better than W2 but arguably not better than W1.    … Expand

Played 200 hours on hard difficulty which quickly became to easy so bumped it up to the max difficulty still to easy...

    I had high hope but these aggro ranges and lack of depth in combat and the simple fact that by the middle or a little below the medium part of the game you are an overpowered wrecking ball bring this game down so much. The actual plot is good even though it does overstay its welcome a tad bit.    … Expand

    This game was vastly disappointing and if not for the attachment to some of the npcs I would have given it a much lower score, to be clear this is the first witcher I have ever played and likely to be the last if these problems persist
    1. Cant skip talking cut scenes and intros
    Ok this by itself isn’t that big of a deal but this game has huge loading times even on my SSD the fact that    This game was vastly disappointing and if not for the attachment to some of the npcs I would have given it a much lower score, to be clear this is the first witcher I have ever played and likely to be the last if these problems persist
    1. Cant skip talking cut scenes and intros
    Ok this by itself isn’t that big of a deal but this game has huge loading times even on my SSD the fact that you have to sit through all the previously on witcher **** grates on the nerves
    2. No auto load
    The game has auto save but no auto load and given its load times on normal saves some kind of quick load would have been a god sent
    3. Loading times
    Loading times are terrible, making every death frustrating as it takes forever to get back to playing
    4. **** controls and combat
    Movement sucks which can make platforming a real pain and sometimes just collecting loot, combat it the worst mostly because it just doesn’t work, there are some skills to combine in order to abuse exploits in the game but until you get them are screwed and if you branched out into different trees before realizing this you may as well start over putting the skills aside the basic combat is a joke and fails on every level, block often doesn’t work at all or just won’t block attacks, and the camera will swing around most times to keep you from dodging out of the way so you get stuck in a corner while the enemy can always block and counter without trying, and even on easy quickly recovers from you counter if it works but if they counter you it lasts much longer, since they already outnumber you in literally every fight in the game this seems like a bull**** thing to do overall combat is a huge fail and the game wants you to do it a lot so combined with the loading times this ruins most of the game.
    5. Game gives no back-story about witcher games before this one but shapes the game based on quests it wants you to answer about the past, how are you supposed to answer these questions?
    At a certain point in the game someone starts asking you questions about what you did in previous games this can effect what resources you have to call on later in the game but if this was your first witcher you have no idea how to answer these questions and there’s no preset answer for new people it would have been nice to get some context on this beforehand notes in game starting group talking about it anything.
    6. The symbol for mind control random
    The symbol used for mind control in random in conversations sometimes the upgraded version works on two or three people sometimes it doesn’t and you have to fight it should always work the same way if it’s the same level and this renders it useless since you can’t chance using it because you don’t know how it will work and how people will respond to it
    7. Side quest are repetitive and boring making the large world feel like pointless padding
    Most of the side quest you do are the same thing with different level monsters and you have to ride all over the huge map to do them, instead of making me feel like the world was big and such this made the map itself feel like padding, pointless window-dressing to fill space and take up time. The map could have been ¼ the size with ¼ the questing and the game certainly wouldn’t have suffered for it, I like a big long game but this didn’t feel like a huge game it felt padded and other games have done this far better
    I could go on but this is mostly what brought the game down for me and really if the combat had been fixed or the loading times been very short it would have gotten a higher rating as it stand the only reason it didn’t get a zero is because the dialogue was good, I became attached to npc easily, the relationships between the characters felt complex and real and the good ending hit me in the feels. The good things about the mechanics I liked was the combat system has a good framework and if it had worked at all would likely have been very satisfying, and using alcohol to refill potions instead of having to find all the things to make them over and over is a good system    … Expand

    As mentioned in many reviews, pc controls are clunky and unresponsive... atrocious in fact. Roach(dumb name for a horse) can't even consistently jump over small fences. Swimming is a gong show, I wont even go there. Then there's Witcher Vision, this is downright hilarious... the camera zooms in tight for some reason, so tight that Geralt blocks the entire screen you can't see the ground where clues need to be inspected wtf. You end jumbling around to highlight the 'inspect' icon for it to work. Combat is brutal, Geralt has a pocket full of magnets that glue him to the nearest enemy. In a typical scenario you always battle large groups, so when you line up a strike he will often swing in some other direction because another enemy has moved in closer. Yes there is a cheesy console targeting system, but it doesn't work well against groups. Button mashing seems to work, he will dance around automatically hitting everything in his way, lame.

    So there it is, important elements are a blunder. If not for a somewhat interesting story, and Gwent, I would have tossed this in the bin already.    … Expand

    I have 550 hours in this game for now, and this game is really worth this time. The world is so beautiful, the story is so genuinely awesome and i loved the music. Everything here is perfect. I can only say that it will be so hard to beat this.

    Best game I ever played. As of 2020 no other game has surpassed this. Some came close, sure. God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. But none have leapt over the bar that this game set up.

    It is amazing. Go get it, play it, cry, then play it again.

    Es un buen juego, pero tiene muchos problemas que me impidieron disfrutarlo. Es sumamente repetitivo, la gran mayoría de las misiones consisten en los mismo, la historia es bastante sencilla y aun así se las arreglan para que dure una eternidad con constantes conveniencias que solo sirven para alargarla.

Las físicas son horribles, sobre todo las del caballo, con el cual te vas a pasar pegándote en cada esquina. Las pantallas de carga a veces son muy largas. En definitiva me pareció un juego agotador a más no poder. Lo que si es cierto es que tiene un mundo muy vasto y complejo y sí eres alguien que adora juegos largos con mucho que explorar y hacer, sin duda lo vas a disfrutar. Sin quitar el hecho de que tiene muchos más problemas de los que la gente parece reconocer.… Expand

Geralt ismindekl bir Efsunger'in kızı gibi gördüğü Ciri'nin kaçırılışını görmesi, Vahşi Av ile savaşması ve bu savaştan sonra hafızasını kaybetmesi, ardından hafızasının yerine gelmesi ile ustası Vesemir ile yine aynı savaşta bulunan ve savaşın ardından kaybolan büyücü sevgilisi Yeneffer'ı bulmaya çalışması ile oyuna başlıyoruz. Çok kısa bir süre sonra Yeneffer'ı buluyor (daha doğrusu o bizi buluyor). Yeneffer bizi imparator Emyhr'in huzuruna çıkarıyor ve Emyhr bizden Vahşi Av'ın peşinde olduğu kadim kana sahip kızı Ciri'yi (Geralt'ta Ciri'yi kızı olarak görüyor ve ona çok değer veriyor)
    kurtarmamızı istiyor. Hikaye genel olarak Vahşi Av'ı ortadan kaldırmaya çalışmamız ve Ciri'nin izini sürmemiz ile geçiyor. Hikaye anlatımı ve sunumu çok iyi, onu da belirteyim. Oynanış kısmına gelirsek, kılıçla canavar kesme olayı çok zevkli ve bu kısım hiç sıkmıyor, genel olarak oyun yaratık kesme üzerine olduğu için ve bu konuda oyun güzel bir iş çıkarttığı için oynanış konusundaki sıkıntılar çok da büyük değil. Fakat yumruklu kavgalar, karakterin koşma zıplama vb. gibi animasyonları, at sürüşü çok kötü. Geralt biraz yüksekten düşüyor ve direkt ölüyor, kafayı yedirtti bu durum bana bazı yerlerde. Animasyonlar biraz kalitesiz, at sürüşü konusunda ise çok sıkıntılı bu oyunda. At bazen saçma sapan hareketler yapıyor, bir yerlere takılıyor ve buga girebiliyor. Yumruk kavgası benim oyunlarda çok sevdiğim bir olaydır ama bu oyunda pek güzel olmamış. Ancak oyunda yumruklarımızı -yan görevler dışında- pek fazla konuşturmadığımız için yumruk kavgası olayının kötü olması canımı o kadar da çok sıkmadı. Görev çeşitliliği tarafında, oyunun genel olarak başarılı olduğunu düşünüyorum. Efsunger kontratlarının neredeyse hepsini yaptım, kontrat kısmını çok sevdim ve bir an bile sıkılmadım kontratları tamamlarken, hepsi çok güzeldi. İkincil görevler hiç de öyle yan görev tadında değil, içerisinde farklı farklı hikayeler barındıran ve ana görev tadında olan görevlerdi. Keira Metz ile hayaletli adayı temizlemek, Triss ile maskeli baloya gidip Geralt'ı tilki maskesiyle görmek gerçekten de oynamaya değerdi. Onun dışında ikincil görevlerde de bu görevlerin ve karakterlerin akışına etki edecek kararlar vermemiz gerekiyor, yani geliştiriciler öyle "kim oynayacak bu görevleri kopyala geç işte" dememişler. Örnek vermek gerekirse Keira Metz görevi örnek verilebilir. Keira
    Metz'in görevlerinin tamamını yaptıktan sonra bazı olaylar gelişiyor ve bir takım kararlar almamız gerekiyor. Aldığımız kararlar doğrultusunda karakterin gelecekte ne olacağı ve ne yapacağı belirleniyor. Ana görevlerin ise kontratlar ve ikincil görevlere göre biraz daha kötü olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Özellikle Skellige'ye ilk gidişimizden sonra ana görev kalitesinde ve çeşitliliğinde düşüş oldu. Sürekli "git bununla konuş" "git şuna şunu sor" tarzında görevler gelmeye başladı ve bu konuşma fasılları o kadar uzun sürüyordu ki ekranda bayılacak hale geldim bazı görevlerde. Oyun biraz da tekrara düştü Skellige'den sonraki ana görevlerde. Optimizasyon konusunda ise oyun biraz vasat    … Expand

    It's been 6 years since the premiere, and I still remember. And when I hear music, somewhere by chance ... oh mother ... I come back, I will always come back. I play a little, I will remember the atmosphere, I will experience it again, and then I think ... what would I not give to experience it again, but fresh ... Still I come back, I will always come back. Thank you CD Projekt Red!

    Witcher 3 along with GTA5, RDR2, Horizon Zero Dawn are my favorite games of all time. Witcher 3 is game in another league and it deserves 11 out 10. It is just that epic and DLCs are in their own DLC league too. Amazing experience from beginning to the end.

The combat is repetitive and incredibly simple, and only barely evolves as you progress through the game. The only two things I can recommend this game for are the visuals and the story, which are both very well done for the most part. Geralt can get a bit one-note at times with his whole gruff demeanor, but there is some good characterization throughout. The visuals are stellar, but the controls are abysmal and the animation during gameplay is janky at best.

    So again, the story and maybe the visuals are why you should play this game. Beyond that there is very little depth to gameplay, the loot system is worthless, and the world is basically lifeless if you stare at it for more than 10 seconds and realize 99% of the people you come across are essentially just window dressing.

    TES has many, many faults, but I think Witcher shows me why TES is so well done. The world feels alive in TES, each NPC has a path and purpose, and the world genuinely feels alive, not just in cutscenes but everywhere the player goes. The world of Witcher 3 feels lifeless in comparison, it's all just there for you and the handful of NPCs who can actually give you a quest or play Gwent with you.    … Expand

    I enjoy The Witcher games. They’re based on Polish stories which gained tremendous popularity after the launch of The Witcher PC game in 2007.

They’re based on Polish stories which gained tremendous popularity after the launch of The Witcher PC game in 2007. Over the past 9 years, CD Projekt has emerged from obscurity to give bloated, entrenched developers a run for their money. Although the franchise has definitely matured, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt exhibits shortcomings that shouldn’t exist in a third installment.

    What makes TW3 so good? Foremost, this is the first open world Witcher game. The world is huge, beautiful, atmospheric, and treacherous. Graphically, TW3 is impressive. Environments feel alive. Observing a town from atop a snowy mountain is breathtaking, and wandering around thru the swamps at dusk is downright creepy. As the wind howls, branches and small plants sway as the sound of creaking limbs fills the air. Despite claims from ardent fans, TW3 isn’t the best looking game ever. But it runs incredibly smooth. Even my aging PC pushes out 50-60fps at Ultra settings, which is impressive given the complexity of the environs. Dragon Age: Inquisition launched 6 months before TW3, but it conjures up a less interesting world while delivering terrible performance.

    Secondly, the soundtrack is phenomenal. Several Polish composers and the folk band Percival collaborated to create distinctly Slavic tunes. The original Witcher had a remarkable soundtrack, but TW3 surpasses it. At times the score is nearly understated, and that’s why it’s so potent. No male choruses shouting chats or drums beating at full intensity. At harder difficulties, even minor battles feel epic as Lazare plays in the background.

    Thirdly, there’s a ton to do. There are dozens and dozens of missions. Plus, there are witcher contracts, horse racing, boxing, and the fabulous Gwent. Gwent is a card game vaguely similar to Hearthstone. Players spar against npc’s in order to win better cards and a bit of coin. Early on Gwent is difficult, but as players build their decks, it becomes quite fun. Players can adjust Gwent’s difficulty in the menus, which is advisable for casual gamers. Completing quests is imperative for leveling up. Enemies yield little XP, so farming for XP is futile.

    But the Witcher 3 isn’t perfect. Most noticeably, the combat sucks. The hero Geralt feels weak compared to the previous games. Spell usage is severely hampered, and potions lack lasting effects. Even at high levels, Geralt can only slot a handful of abilities. To make matters worse, players must swap needed abilities BEFORE fights because they’re locked once battle begins. If Geralt comes across bandits and arrow deflection isn’t slotted, he’s in for a rough time. The leveling system is counterintuitive and artificially difficult because it’s poorly designed. I especially hate how choosing passive abilities eliminates slots for active ones. Stats are poorly explained. Playing as Ciri is even worse.

    Overall, combat is not fun most of the time, and that’s unfortunate because 90% of TW3 is combat! People who quit playing TW3 said combat is its biggest drawback. This problem plagues every Witcher game. There’s no excuse. Lords of the Fallen was created by a former CD Projekt developer, and its combat is infinitely better.

    Next, the story is OK, but there are too many loose ends. TW3 teases at romances that never mature. Players are pitted with “difficult” choices which ultimately have zero impact. Even important choices from The Witcher 2 make little difference. Also, newcomers will be lost because the game assumes players read the novels already. Many characters have backstories, but these are never fleshed out in game. So dialogue is confusing. Other popular characters have simply vanished. These gaps lessen the emotional impact of the overall story and choices being made. Many fans have voiced the same opinions. CD Projekt has acknowledged them, but very little can be done at this point.

    Rewards for completing quests are uneven. I completed a brief sidequest and earned 685 points. Then I completed a main story mission that was 5 levels higher, more complex, and 80 minutes longer, only to gain a mere 35 points. Most loot players earn from quests is useless. Some missions reward no points/loot at all. So the rewards for completing many missions are scant. The higher Geralt’s level, the more miniscule 25 XP points become. Scavenging and crafting are the only ways to net good gear.

    Lastly, despite 20gb+ of patches, TW3 is still buggy. Bugs affect every aspect of the game. After launch, I stopped playing because it was nearly unplayable. TW3 is playable now. Obviously CD Projekt pushed it out too soon and they’ve been patching it up ever since.

    TW3 is a solid game after patches. It’s atmospheric and epic, but that doesn’t merit a free pass. Mediocre combat, uneven pacing, bugs, weak leveling and missing backstories are a few problems that plague this venerable game. The Witcher 3 needed to cook for another year. It’s still fun, but only Witcher apologists give it 10/10.    … Expand

    The story and sidequests are great, amazing even. Graphics are spot on too, where the game falls flat is the unrewarding exploration and boring combat along with essentially no rpg mechanics. Perhaps it tried to do too much at the cost of quality.

    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.
