    great game, good combat and world exploration, remembered me a lot of zelda, but the combat and music gets very repetitive very fast; the scripted scenes looks amazing, and i mean all of them even for secondary missions, pretty recommendable to try

    Clearly one of the best games ever made.
    Gameplay is very rich with all the tools and gwent card game.
    Story is really good but narrative and side missions makes this game a true gem.
    Art style and soundtracks are top tier.
    This is one of the games that can be considered as art.

    This game is amazing. I aint gonna lie, it is not perfect, but it is a delight, reminds me of the good old Gothic games. It has limits in the role playing aspect, as you are a set character, but it sure as hell compensates with an intresting plot and well written characters

Good DLCs that are a must have and in my opinion are even better than the main game. Especially Blood and Wine is a must have, both story wise and gameplay wise.

    The not so goods: the combat is pretty straight forward dodge, counter, attack. Signs seem pretty useless, countering and dodging is way more important on higher difficulty than using spells (signs) and there isnt a way to play "wizard" Geralt. Melee builds are way superior to other builds. You don't ever get the feeling of being a powerful unstoppable witcher, because the combat feels very basic and progressing just makes you hit harder but doesnt really make you feel more powerful.

I have never heard a videogame soundtrack that came even came close to this, tons of unique feeling monsters from stories that my dad used to tell me.

The main story is about you taking the role as the witcher Geralt of Rivia, which this time is lead on a quest to find his adoptive daugther, Ciri, before the infamous, and very dangerous The Wild Hunt does. The many characters you meet throughout the main story are all interesting, with their own backstories, personalities, motivations and so on. The dialogue choices leads to many different outcomes, just like in other good RPGs. The story is very long with an average length of 50 hours, but it doesn't feel slow paced at any point, and remains interesting all the way through.

    The big open world of The Witcher 3 is very beautiful, with a big diversity in areas, and travelling the world is very satisfying. The many side quests which you will encounter are often as good as the main quests, something you rarily see in a game.

    In terms of gameplay, there's many options. The combat system offers many different ways to tackle the fights against enemies, however, there's just something about the combat that feels a bit unsatisfying. I also encountered a glitch were I couldn't attack, which was quite irritating, but luckily, it only happened rarily. The horse riding also feels a bit bad, and the movement of Geralt can sometimes feel a bit weird, but you'll get used to it. The game also includes the options to play the card game Gwent against some of the many NPCs. I personally found Gwent to be very fun, and often spent a lot of time just travelling from town to town, looking for new cards and opponents.

    Even though The Witcher 3 has some flaws, it's story and world is so fantastic that the game deserves nothing below a 9/10.

    RPG is not for all, just like an adventure game, but for those that like these genres, then this is your holy grail.

    Only thing I did not like, was how hard it is to level up, monsters and enemies gives you low XP, the higher your level is compared to them.
    (Example if you are level 10, and you beat a level 5 monster, he will yield very low xp, and will become lower and lower the highest your level become).

    Other than that, 9/10 for me.

There are so many things you can do. Game swallowed me. I love that it is honest and true, not political correct. I love that story is more important for developers than showing minorities, like other developers do.
    I love the world of the game, I love music, I love atmosphere, I love ethnic traditions, I love Gwent. DLC in this game is bigger and better than some games. This is the best thing I ever played. 300+ hours and I continue to play it. SO many quests and secrets that are not just to fill the world like in Assassin's Creed, but they really important. They are linked with main game, they have background.

    The Witcher 3 was barely out before being hyped as the absolute pinnacle of RPG-gaming, a must play for everyone & you needn’t bother playing Witcher 1 or 2 before playing 3. Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game?

Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game? Those who say these things clearly haven’t played many video games, not to mention RPGs, let alone Witcher 1&2, which are both far better than Witcher 3

    Its biggest sin is being an open-world game. They did this to compete with games like Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014’s GOTY) & Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (2011’s GOTY). Too much time was spent on building this massive world that not much thought was given on how they would fill it. It was empty & incredibly tedious to trek across the map between missions. You’ve done wrong when the player chooses to fast travel everywhere rather than go on foot. You’re also forced to find a sign post in order to fast travel, you can’t just do it from the map. An open world usually means cutting meaningful quests & characters, which Witcher 3 did in spades; the biggest being no Scoia’tael/Iorveth. In addition, the AI chatter was enough to make me go mad; the same lines repeated over & over w/ the same voices. I can say them in my sleep. The cutscenes were supposed to be Dandelion but for some reason aren’t done by his voice actor, the guy doesn’t even sound close.

    The combat is atrocious, when you feel that the better option is to hack, slash & roll like a ballerina rather than use tactics because the enemies aren’t known for their brains. The use of potions/oils was practically nonexistent until halfway through because you don’t get the crafting diagrams & by then you’ve learned to cope w/o so you don’t even remember that you can now use them. Meditation is not to make potions but to reload your stock using alcohol in your inventory. Tutorials would have been immensely helpful rather than a block of text you’ll never remember. Negotiation is senseless, “A bit high… We’re almost there.” The upgrade system is a complete joke. What’s the point in investing in skills when you can only use a few? Getting to level 30 you can use 12 skills and yet I had many more! You literally need to use a slot in order to have food/drink heal you over time! What? That was just a given in the other games.

    The story absolutely requires you to have not only played the first 2 games but that you’ve read the books as well. I can’t imagine what anyone could have gotten out of this game otherwise. But even though I had the knowledge of the whole story, I felt this game’s story was super weak. They were trying to tell too much & pull in the worst parts of Sapkowski’s books. The first 2 games felt like CDPR was adding to the story of The Witcher and telling their own tale, they weren’t just making the books a game, rather they continued Geralt’s tale a few years after the books. But with this game, it felt the complete opposite. They were now pulling everything they could from the last 2 books (which were awful) & pulling phrases & jokes from every form of entertainment in the real world. It seriously hurt the story. The idea of Ciri traveling between worlds, including our own is just stupid, they could have rewritten something so much better. Instead what was once a dark fantasy is now science fiction. It was very obvious that they had a completely different writer this time around.

    Despite calling itself an RPG, there were no significant choices in this game. Sure there were 3 different endings for Ciri’s fate but as to how those endings were decided, it was a couple small things in conversations rather than actual decisions. It really makes you feel good when you read the wiki and see ‘You can choose whatever you want here, it makes no difference to the story.’ When a choice cutscene would randomly pop up, it felt more like a whoops we forgot to give this meaning so here’s a choice that sucks either way.

    The game is at 4.02 & still buggy. The choice scenes are at a far lower volume than the rest of the game, it’s a miracle if you can hear them w/o subsequently blowing your eardrums out when it switches back to the actual game. There is so much clipping, things disappearing from NPC’s hands or hovering in front of them, animals including Roach would appear in the middle of a conversation with an NPC, etc. What exactly did they fix?

    Now how can we talk about Witcher 3 w/o mentioning the card game Gwent? What a truly horrendous, time-wasting addition. It was clearly there to pad out the game time. You’re forced into your first game to ‘learn’ the directions & I came away no wiser as how to play. All Gwent did was make me miss dice poker.

    In the main game alone, I completed 141 quests in 104.8 hours. I would only recommend for the serious Witcher fan b/c all I can say is thank the Eternal Fire I’m done, I’m headed back to Witcher 1&2

    The world is so vast and full of good points of interest, the story is wonderful, mature and interesting, and it's the only one that ever made me feel anything. Every quest is well written and has a meaning, and they are well disposed all around the world. The graphics are amazing, both from a technical and an art-style point of vue (and many mods are available to improve it even further). The lore, which is a big part of the game, is extremely well made.
    All of those goods points are due to the fact that this game is based on a serie of excellent books (from Andrzej Sapkowski), and made by one of the best game studios in the industry, CD Projekt Red.

A very adult take on the RPG-genre that is very refreshing and enjoyable. Since the game is already a few years old, it is also not that demanding on your hardware.

    I only find minor things annoying, like the fact that there are 300+ different common crafting components that clutter your inventory, (it could have been a bit simpler) and a few other things, but I won't go too much into detail. The positive aspects far outweigh the drawbacks.

    If you played and enjoyed games like the Gothic series, you will very much like this game. It takes a while to take off but after 10 hours you will be hooked.

    There are very few games that have the ability to capture a player's heart and soul quite like Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. As a yearly ritual, I find myself compelled to return to this enchanting world, and with each playthrough, my admiration for this work of art only grows.

    The most captivating aspect of Witcher 3 is undoubtedly its story. The narrative is rich and engaging, weaving a complex tapestry of characters and plotlines that keep you enthralled throughout the game. The attention to detail in every quest is simply astonishing, and the depth of emotion conveyed by each character is unmatched. The game effortlessly delves into themes of love, loss, and redemption, resulting in a story that resonates deeply with its players.

    However, a great story alone does not make a game outstanding. Witcher 3's gameplay is meticulously crafted to complement the narrative, offering an experience that is tailor-made for THE Witcher. Every aspect of the gameplay loop and character development is designed to immerse you in the world that the developers have so painstakingly created, making it impossible not to become fully invested in Geralt's journey.

    The combat, exploration, and RPG elements are all seamlessly integrated, allowing players to experience the game in a way that feels entirely authentic. Each element of the gameplay, from the potion brewing and monster hunting to the choices you make in dialogues, is carefully aligned with the lore and the story that the game is trying to tell. This level of commitment to immersion is what sets Witcher 3 apart from other games in the genre.

    From the hauntingly beautiful opening scene in White Orchard to the poignant moments shared with Yennefer in Corvo Bianco, Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is a game that I will continue to play and cherish year after year. It is a true testament to the power of storytelling in gaming and a shining example of what can be achieved when developers pour their heart and soul into a project. If you have not yet experienced this masterpiece, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    It would surprise no one to tell you the witcher 3 is a masterpiece it is definitely among the greatest games of all time at the very least for me personally. even as far to go to say that the witcher 3 is game of the decade and id have to agree

    Story: picking up after a wee bit of a time skip after the second game , geralt searches for his long lost lover yenifer. when he finds her she tells him their adoptive daughter and biological daughter to the ruler of nilfgaard has reappeared after being missing for years and there begins a grand saga of a hero's journey. the only difference is you play as the mentor to the hero and you are just trying to survive till the end of the movie. the story has a lot of variation based entirely on your choices witch i love because it's always complex , you never know if your decision will get some one killed or not because you just don't know , it's a ripple effect on the story and you won't know until you see the ripples , who geralt falls in love with , what are his priorities, how dose he wear his hair , all of this is the players choice but how geralt feels at any given time is up to geralt but somehow they melded how geralt feels and what the player does really well
    Story: 10/10

    World building: what made me want to play the witcher was the tv show and id say the tv show is good , henry cavil went all out in his portrayal of geralt . a few miscasts aside its a good show , but not great. its world building is the weakest part of the show as im sure it will get better with time as more seasons are made , The witcher 3 however made me understand geralt so well , who he is , and what his place in the world is geralt has a job , he has friends ,colleagues , deals with the government and even his own family or at least who he considers family. everyone has a place in the world, the witchers a dying breed of monster slayers. mages immortalized and beautified by magic all in search of new power. ciri the child of a human elf mix breed with special powers. but also the little things and the landscapes make up this huge vast and beautiful world to explore
    Worldbuilding: 10/10

    Graphics: after 180 hours i never got tired of looking at this game , its all screen shot worthy , landscapes and shrubbery is beautiful. its characters are beautiful even their flaws and imperfections are beautiful. what call of duty dose for guns , that fit in your hand level of detail that makes you vividly imagine holding it yourself. the witcher 3 dose that with locations every small wooden bridge over a stream brought me back to a place when i was kid exploring a forest by my grandparents cottage. how ever after 180 hours , some of the reused character models just with different cloths did get old same with some of the animations especially for the side quests. but that is me being very nitpicky
    Graphics: 9.8/10

    Gameplay: video games are at their best when the gameplay tells a story as well as the story. every fight , every hunt, every boss battle is a story , and it all feels so seamless sure there are cut scenes and cuts but there is usually reason for them. but going from side quest to story to stumbling across a bandit camp and getting attacked all feels coherent and unified it feels like its geralt's life. in the game industry there is the innovators , the copiers and the learners. copiers occasionally make a good game , innovators take risks to make a good game , but learners always make good games. cd projeckt red is such a dev team. where witcher 2 plays more like a darksouls where the witcher 3 plays more like the batman arkham games combat has a flow and a beat to it that just works for the witcher as a franchise mix that with a pretty good inventory and rpg elements this game is just great to play
    Gameplay: 10/10

    Sound design: every little detail was scrutinised over in this game, the sword clangs the arrows what bandits and enemies say and the music, some of the most beautiful battle music is in this game and i loved it even if it does get very repetitive as its always the same song and same gospel woman going HUAHHHHH but at least its a good song. the voice acting is probably the weakest part of the game how ever in any other game id say its amazing. geralt is played perfectly and with all the branching story lines and choices id say that was no easy task, i will have to call out triss voice actress as in every game she has felt awkward and wooden but with each game she improves witch cd could have easily re cast her but im glad they did not because they believe in her and that's just good to do . but having geralt say " what now you piece of filth" a million times was aggravating
    Sound design: 9/10

    10+10+9.8+10+9= 48.8
    48.8/5= 9.76/10

    The witcher 3 is a masterpiece and a must play it is everything a video game can and should be a true work of art

The main thing that strikes you while playing is the depth to which the devs worked on this, because most of the secondary missions do feel unique and have that main-questy vibe. The screenplay is as well written as the voice acting is done. The game is able to pull you into its world seamlessly, and it is a chore to get back to your daily routine.
    There are, however, a few things that would be better done in some other way in my opinion.
    First thing: the characters you encounter throughout the game, if they aren't main characters, they all look alike. This kind of breaks immersion when I accept two very distinct quests from the same old guy...
    Some other details:
    controls feel kind of clunky and unresponsive a lot of times. This was half addressed in an update which makes you choose between two distinct kind of controls, but they still can be better;
    the beginning of the game falls a bit flat, I remember distinctly not having as much fun as I had later in early stages.

    Nevertheless, this game is a masterpiece. It's kind of scary to think that a studio of finite dimensions can produce something this deep and large.

    The maps are enormous! In my eyes, Velen has the most unique atmosphere, music and quests. The strange underbelly sense when I entered Crookback bog. The "A towerful of Mice" quest also left quite an impact and where you had to think well of your choices. It was great!

    The gameplay is nice, and I'd say that you have to think before you hunt down certain monsters. The harder the difficulty, how more important the preparations. It's a pity that the 3rd person combat feels a bit wonky at times.

    98.5/100. An action RPG which any hobbyist gamer should play at least once.

    a fast playthrough with main story and dlcs take about 70 hours[hearts of stone 12hours blood and wine 30hours vanilla game 28-40 hours If you rush the main questlines] but the full game takes a bit more than 100hours If you are a slow explorer and on hardest difficulty you can play up to 200 hours some people do multpile playhroughs or new game plus but would not recommend that unless you have brain delay

    Story in essence might be simple ''kill monsters and help good humans'' but It has immense depth
    and choices not everything is completely bad or completely good

    Question marks on the map are a total surprise sometimes when you are lvl 1-5 they may be lvl 15 and one shot you It needs to show the level of that spot I think It's not a good thing to go and die to find out[rpg system in this game has major flaws like level design,crafting etc]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Witcher 3 is one of the best games of the last decades. Also one of the best RPGs.
    CD Projekt created an audiovisual masterpiece.
    The market needed a game with these characteristics.
    The story ... the story is great and excellent, there are few like this. If you are a person motivated by history, you will not be disappointed.
    The game has five really big maps, each with its own beauty (White Orchard, Velen / Novigrad, Skellige Isles, Kaer Morhen and Toussaint), these maps are full of quests, primaries and secondaries, there are also Npc who have many contracts ( tertiary missions with great stories, that the term "tertiary" is too small for what they really are).
    This game is full of content, in which you will have many hours of fun. Put in over 250 hours just on my first playthrough.
    I know that most people like to score 10 or 0 in the scores, but this game is one of the few games that really deserves a 10/10, because it is a real gem.

    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.

    I've made it pretty clear that it's hardly a flawless game, but that doesn't change the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is something pretty bloody special and you should absolutely play it.
