    Best game i've ever played in my life. I just loved the fantasy setting, dark and full of evil. It represent the real society very well, it's a deep psicological game, because each character, mission or event has a story full of sadness and happiness, just like the real world.

    Like most I have been playing video games for over 30+ years. The Witcher 3 is by FAR the Game of the Year, Game of the Decade, Game of the Generation. It excels in every area of the RPG genre.

I have invested over 1,000+ hours with my 4th play-thorough behind me. This game is the greatest video game EVER made and it is the standard by which all games in the future are judged. Even now over 3 years since it's release it is STILL breaking records and making other gaming studios wither and die as they realize that they will either have to up the ante or close their doors as they will not be able to compete with CD Project Red. Oh BTW; Cyberpunk 2077 is right around the corner and expect more of the same for the beloved company that gave us the best video game ever; The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. Expand

    I was an elder scroll fan until I played The Witcher 3... I finished it three times and the game is still fun.
    Graphics are amazing, so is the story. DLCs are very good, especially Hearts of Stone

    Easily the best game I played and I think it's gonna stay like that a while.
    It tells a great story fulfilled with great characters, has a massive open world that you can explore and do side quests witch don't feel rushed and are always fun to do.
    The only bad thing about this game is that you might not like any other games after you beat it

    Najlepsza fabuła w grze jaką poznałem! Historia bierze za serce, chciałoby się wszystko zrobić od razu. Misje poboczne nie są takie nudne jak w innych grach. Dialogi perfekcyjne, zwłaszcza w polskiej wersji językowej. Przyjemny system walki na niższych poziomach, na wyższych jest trochę uciążliwy. Grafika nawet w 2020 jest fantastyczna.

    This creation of the developers, who miraculously managed to make this "masterpiece", received the approval of the players only thanks to the world thought out for them and the characters that already existed. Disgusting combat system, mediocre graphics, a lot of problems on release. A strange exception from the whole range of those games that they made before and after (Cyberpunk confirms this)

    One of the best games ever made. Especially as an open world. I have spent hours and hours just running around observing interesting aspects of the world.

I have spent hours and hours just running around observing interesting aspects of the world. Animals just like people sleep/hunt at specific times of the day. Go to a cave and a werewolf may only appear after sunset. Go to the same cave during the day and it will be completely empty and you can loot the interesting items within. Too often its easy for developers to artificially insist on blocks to prevent getting rewards without fighting the monster. This is the first game which sticks to the law. If you can exploit the world, you should be able to get your reward. This is just one of the many examples of how this world has been finely crafted. Even simple side quests have a level of emotional investment that make them interesting. Its the little threads, the extra attention which has made this probably one of the most memorable games in recent times. A true landmark for this age on how current technology can be leveraged for entertainment. This is second only to the world of GTA 5. In some cases, it may be even better. The combat has been improved as well. It is a lot more responsive. It can be as hard as you want it to be. For veterans I suggest atleast the blood and broken bones. It makes you care enough to read the beastiary and prepare for the encounters ahead. It makes you care about weaknesses. This is the true way to play the witcher 3. No other game has had such deep combat with an addictive and immersive world.
    On the negatives, the removal of a storage system, limitations on skills, lack of consistency with movement (Why not go the extra distance and add animations for picking up objects ..given there is delays in changing direction) and random physics bugs of rag doll objects are annoying, yet minor issues when compared to everything this game gets right.
    Sometimes, its good to look over the few negatives and enjoy the spectacle and get immersed in an adventure that has been lovingly crafted. DO it with the witcher 3 and pay attention to the details to truly enjoy this game.

    I liked Dragon Age: Inquisition and every entry in the Elder Scrolls setting as other examples of open world western RPGs. I think Morrowind is still one of my top 5 games of all time. But the plain and simple truth of it is, The Witcher 3 is just better.

    This game is unreal. If you vote this game down because of graphics, you're a tool. The graphics are not only phenomenal, there's literally NOTHING better out there on such a huge scale. This game deserves a straight trip right into the RPG hall of fame. Maybe the video game hall of fame. I think it might be the best game I've played since the turn of the millennium, and that's not hyperbole.

    Loving it so far. Although technically an Open World game, the main storyline flows quite well without most of the flaws of your typical open world game, it feels more like a linear main storyline with side quests (which is probably a good thing as it gives the designers a greater ability to make an engaging main storyline). The graphics are incredible, the detail on some of the armorLoving it so far.

The graphics are incredible, the detail on some of the armor especially the chain mail is mind-boggling. My only complaint so far is the looting system, it's sometimes annoying to get into a position where you loot an item, I often end up activating a torch or candle instead of looting the item because I'm not exactly in the right position, they could have done that better. But overall an awesome game so far. A word of warning though, there is no way to change the main character's looks or voice so if you don't like Geralt that might put you off buying this game. Expand

    And then this one comes, right after I finally got my copy of GTA V, for which I waited a lot. I installed Wild Hunt just to check it out, with intention for it to wait until I'm done with completing at least the plot in Rockstar's newest masterpiece. Yeah, right.

    Witcher 3 is THE most immersive game I've ever played. You can find stuff to annoy you within this game, like a lot of people are trying to, but don't do that to yourself. Just sink in.

    Every second spent in the world, whether it's just sightseeing, exploring question marks, completing wide range of quests or even playing Gwent is filled with extreme joy. World is beautiful (it has its charm even on low/medium settings), plot is interesting, music is incredible.

    But the best thing about this game is that it makes you feel responsible for your actions and decisions. Whatever you do, it has meaning. This is extremely rare in video games sadly, and here it's really, REALLY well executed. I'm amazed.

    Witcher 3 might have its flaws, but at the end of the day, all of those barely matter. We just got epic game, that all future RPG games will be evaluated by. Hats down to CDP Red!

While this is a very long game, even just for the main story, it manages to keep up the pace and stay interesting and even after sinking 100+ hours into it I find myself whishing there was even more.

    It picks up nicely on the events of the previous two games which gives a feel of consistancy and immersion into the universe. I noticed that CDProjectRed even paid a lot of attetion to detail in 'recontruction' locations which was featured in previous installments of the series. Just one of the many little things that makes the game great.

    Secondary quests are really fun, which is also quite unique. They are not simply all 'go fecth/ go kill" but are driven by interesting stories in their own right and even appears to weave into the main story and other secondary quests. Finally, the use of voice acting and cinematic/cut scenes is superb. You never feel like the developers got lazy and just texted it or made a half finished quest. Everything is kept at the highest quality.

    There are a couple of glitches here and there - graphical oddities and so on. And But the overall quality more than makes up for this.

    This is what I really hate about User Reviews, Too many trolls but even the 10 out of 10s has anyone even completed the game yet I doubt it but we are forces to give untrue review because of these idiots lying through there teeth just because they cant afford to up grade their pcs to run it and they have been warned you need a high end PC to run it.
    Scores mean absolutely nothing good and bad. everything hear is a review in progress and not a real review. I absolutely love this game so far, it seems it may be the next revolution of games and other devs can learn from this but I haven't finished the game yet, I've put in 15ish hours so I cant review it and don't want to score it but I have no choice on this site so only the first 15 hours gets a 10 out of 10 hopefully it stays through out coz the story is amazing the graphics have not been downgraded, the demo was 4k everything maxed out, unless you have that set up forget it, (there will be sweet fx mods anyway) sound and music are movie standard, music is some of the best video game music ever. Game play is hard but enjoyable, unfortunatley 3rd person suffer in most games eg GTA 5, Red Dead and this game they all get a little bit fiddly in tight spots and thats' the only thing Skyrim does better, First person switchs (Skyrim had the worse 3rd person ever) It's such a same Witcher doesnt have that option coz the world is the best looking openword game of all time.

AMAZING visuals along with a seamless world that makes you feel like you've actually traveled back in time is a win situation in my books. The in depth crafting systems for both Alchemy, and Blacksmithing(Armor/Weapons) makes you want to explore what can be made and really brings out the depth of the world with the sheer amount of items availble. It truly is a paradise for RPG lovers anywhere. If you have liked pass tittles such as Oblivion/Skyrim, or Dragon Age Origins as much as I have, then do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one. A special shout out to the developers of this wonderful game with their free DLC practices and going back to the way things should with a solid, full length, non-expensive expansion pack that is going to be worth every nickel. Fingers crossed that other developers follow suit with them. I know I will be supporting them through thick and thin. Expand

    The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is simply out of this world. I never believed fast battles could be so fun with a keyboard and mouse and that was one of the things I hated about The Witcher 2. This game however, perfected the battle in such a way that it is just fun fun fun. Well, I play on hard and it does take some planning and careful use of oil and signs but as long as you are aware of what you do, you could get away pretty much scratch free. Simply put, you're in charge of putting down monsters the way you want to.

    To add to the beautiful world, the progression system is also very unique. I have fun customising Geralt the way I prefer to play and it there hasn't been any points spent that I regret so far. Equipment is also fun and there's never a must have sword or a clear upgrade. You might stick with a lower damage sword because of the crit chance, or you might prefer to go all out on raw damage. Your witcher, your choice.

    Well, I just about forgot about the side games. You can play if you want or just skip it. It's fun though. Seriously speaking, Gwent could be released as a standalone casual card game and it would do very very well.

    Overall, I salute CDProjektRed for making such a wonderful cross platform game. PC gamers always fear consolitis which ruins some good games. This game, does not suffer in that regard. It's clear that CD Projekt Red optimise their games properly and actually tested it extensively on PC using mouse and keyboard. I can't say about consoles but from the amount of polish I've seen, I believe that it would be a great experience regardless of your platform of choice.

    The other problem is the BUGs. It really deserved the name "The Glitcher 3" for the early version of this game.

    For the story-line,I think it is overrated. I don't think it is very good or very bad, it is just, ok.

    But who cares, let's play Gwent.

    My personal maxim when it comes to games is: Gameplay is king; Story is queen. I have little to no interest in games with no story or even lore; and also no interest in games with only story (I'd rather read a book in that case). The seamless combination of both is what interests me the most, and very few games achieve this blend as Wild Hunt has achieved. This game is the embodiment ofMy personal maxim when it comes to games is: Gameplay is king; Story is queen. I have little to no interest in games with no story or even lore; and also no interest in games with only story (I'd rather read a book in that case). The seamless combination of both is what interests me the most, and very few games achieve this blend as Wild Hunt has achieved. This game is the embodiment of the perfect balance between gameplay and story.

    CDPR, the developer, has achieved the highest effect a game can have on its players: making them wish that it never ends. For the last five months I have delayed and put off the ending as long as I possibly could, wishing that this game could last forever; that I could play it for the rest of my life, always finding new side quests, new contracts, new treasure hunts. But alas, all great things must end; it's what makes them great. And in this case, The Witcher series ended on an incredibly high note. The fact that the developer has decided to conclude the story of Geralt with this game, instead of finding a way to milk the franchise also speaks volumes of their integrity as artists.

    This is a game that is exuberantly alive: it bustles and teems with life. Walking through the woods, walking through a city, into a cave... you feel life around you, especially if you play with a good headset. The feeling of riding across the lands as the sun sets is something I'll never forget. I'd never played a game that felt so alive, so rich, so handcrafted in its minutest details. Some games came close, but probably due to limitations of technology and development cycle, they didn't achieve this level of liveliness and exuberance.

    I usually don't like cutscenes in most games, to be very honest, but in this game I couldn't get enough of it. The voice acting, the character animation, especially facial animation, is beyond anything we've come to expect from games in terms of quality, and most games now pale in comparison, seeming lifeless and dull. No wonder some critics said that it "defines next-gen": this game is technically and artistically unparalleled, and it should set a gold standard to be aspired to by all AAA devs in the coming years. Not that most of them will ever achieve something this great, but they should at least aspire to greatness.

    It has moments where its writing is at its best the fewer words are used: Geralt and Ciri trashing a certain place was particularly brilliant. But the writing here is among the best a game has ever seen. From my own personal preference, only the writing in Fallout: New Vegas could equal the writing in Wild Hunt. The variety of soundbites in cities and villages, the different personalities ascribed to vendors (a blacksmith mourning his son, an armourer who is not what he seems, a grumpy merchant, etc etc etc)... From the very first quests, the inner life shown by these characters is simply staggering: a lone hunter in the woods, a very minor character, who considers himself a freak, has more inner life than most protagonists in most games out there.

    On to the gameplay. The investigation component, though not exactly innovative, is employed so deftly that it makes for one of the most satisfying elements in the game: finding clues and picking up scents is just fun and it makes you feel like a supernatural detective. I know some players had objections to the combat, but I have no complaints whatsoever. Especially on higher difficulties, it is clever, tactical, challenging and just plain fun. You don't have to mash your buttons or click your mouse to death here, instead you have to pace yourself, prepare for each fight, try to get the right oils and signs and bombs ready. It can be awkward sometimes, but that's a matter of skill. The better you become at combat, the more surgical and graceful you can become, which makes it extremely fun and satisfying.

    The soundtrack is a work of art in itself. For the past two months I've started reading the books while listening to the soundtrack, and it makes for a very satisfying combination. It fills you with longing and transports you to the world of the Witcher while your body sits there in the bus, going to work or wherever. It is that good, seriously.

    Flawed as only the greatest masterpieces can be, Wild Hunt is a tour de force to be reckoned with. It is a world built by some of the most creative and innovative minds in the games industry; it is a game carved and handcrafted as a labour of love with only the varnish of commercial value. Wild Hunt redeems the videogame medium; it elevates art and storytelling to a whole new level that we can only hope will come to be imitated, however imperfectly.

The main story at the very end becomes a tad tedious as just when you think its over you have to go and do something else.. but it was rewarding to see all of my choices throughout the game come out at the very end - and some of them I regretted.

    Graphically it is a shadow of it's former self from what we first saw at its reveal, but I can forgive it for that simply because it is such an epic game.

    The combat, crafting, loot and other intertwined systems all work exceptionally well - though I do wish that geraldt could carry more items as I often would loot too much... but perhaps thats more of a reflection on me than the game =).

    One little gripe I did have was that character models were used and re-used quite often... but in the scheme of things it was minor.

    It runs at a silky smooth almost always locked 60fps at FHD and I was able to easily maintain 50fps at 2k if I chose to.

    This is a remakable game I could not recommend more. Any fan of the series should check it out.

Interacting with NPC's is exciting and interesting, one does want to know more about the people ur interacting and therefore usometimes ask more questions than a Witcher normally would have done, because of his code and all. I feel free to play as I want to a certain degree though Geralt is a "premade" character with a backstory and personality. The Open World is epic, beautufil and filled alot of stuff to do. It feels like a mixture of Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Dragon Age and Game of Thrones because of the dark and realistic themed fantasy world for adults, rather than high fantasy filled with simple soultions to conflicts and events.

    The combat is kind of simple to understand but sometimes hard to master, especially if ur facing enemies above ur own lvl or several enemies at once. But that also depends on the game difficulty u have chosen. And I love how alchemy has such a huge effect during combat and greater boss like opponents which have certain weaknesses to read about in the Beastiary. In this game all the systems comes together nicely, the quest system is interesting because u can pick up a quest somewhere in some town and it might be too high lvl so u have to be coming back later, this makes certain areas more replayable, although they don't get boring without quests. And one does not feel like exploring every single questionmark on the map, becuause in many cases u don't benefit from it, especially not if the area is guarded by high-lvl enemies.

    I'm on my second playthrough now. The first was 35 hours and 16 minutes, with all of White Orchid, ~60% of Velen, and maybe 20-30% of Skellig's POIs completed. This time, I intend to attempt to do EVERYTHING. Though, even with leaving all the content on the table in playthrough one, I felt overpowered for the end boss fights (second hardest difficulty).

    There's always room for improvement, and the combat has always been-imo-the weakest aspect of RPGs in general, and that's true for the Witcher series as well (though, kudos to the idea of weaknesses and preparation). Eventually, we're going to start seeing RPGs that have the type of depth of combat that action games like Arkham have (though, let's face it, there's no reason the Arkham series shouldn't be considered an RPG). If I was conditioned by decades of RPGs only paying lip service to combat as a vehicle to drive a narrative, I'd probably be worked up about this, but I'm not.

    Technically, I do wish the draw distance was better, but whatever. It's Witcher 2, but Witcher 1's epic scope; really, it's the hybrid baby of the two games and it is fantastic.

    I was horrified when they originally said they were going to make this an open world game. Every single open world game is just a bunch of pointless (often times randomly generated) content to keep adhd people sated, while making grandiose claims that one's game is epic and massive. I thought the great story and lore of the Witcher series was going to meet a fiery doom, and that the Witcher 3 would be just another Skyrim/Fallout/etc. Lots of POIs, complete lack of heart and feels. Boy, was I wrong. It never made any sense that a story-focused game couldn't work in an open world. It never made any sense that we-as gamers-always had to choose a story-focused game that was basically a corridor with little to no freedom, or an open world game that had little to no story. CDPR finally proved you can have your cake and eat it.

    Lastly, as a gamer in his 30s, I wanted to finish with high praise for the dialog/relationships between Geralt and the people in his life (especially Yennefer and Ciri). Those were some genuinely great moments and lines (on everyone's part). I hate to use the term "mature", but there was a maturity in the approach to dialog in a relationship that is so, so, sooooooooo rarely seen in a video game.

    I hope there is some other unheard of studio out there that will blow my socks off in the next few years, because other than CDPR's next project (Cyborg2077), I can't see a future where anything from the established big players like Bioware/Bethesda/etc will be capable of getting my motor running.

Well, the Witcher 3 is one of those games. No other game I've ever played has brought together such an immersive and authentic dark fantasy world. The visuals, the soundtrack, the various locales, fantastic writing and characterisation and all the little stories, both comedic and tragic, scattered across the world of the Witcher make for quite the gaming experience.

    I do have a few minor criticisms such as Eredin being a weak antagonist, and some other game elements which I feel could be improved, but there's no broad aspect of the game that I can say is outright bad or mediocre. Everything in the Witcher has been treated with utmost care and it really shows.

    Prior to playing the Witcher 3, I would also highly recommend playing through the previous Witcher games, as there are many references you will otherwise not understand, and you will come to appreciate (or despise) certain characters more. While these can be recapped and explained to you through the in-game glossary, a short blurb is simply no comparison to the character development built up in two 40-hour games that came before.

    I was expecting more. I pre-order the game and I was expecting to get a product closer to what it was revealed in 2013. The game is nowhere near there, day one was a huge disappointment for me. CDPR just harmed themselves by showing something and delivering a sub-par product (for whatever reason). And yes, you can argue that it was a demo, vertical slice, or whatever you want to call it. But the bottom line is that if a developer shows a gameplay video and open the pre-order gates then people would expect to get that product. In the end I think a lot of the low scores come from angry costumers with undelivered expectations. Hopefully a lesson was learned, from the developers side and from the consumers side. I certainly will not pre-order a video game again.

For bugs, the worst I've had is 2-3 graphic glitches, one minor quest not completing as it should, and two freezes while dragging items in the inventory screen (in about 30-40 hours of play). Overall, this is one of the best games I've ever played.

    I want to discuss the negative reviews a bit. First, I believe they are mostly genuine. In the negative cases, I think the game is just not right for the player. If you expect there to be less conversation and exploration, then you bought the wrong game. If you think the controls are sluggish and/or unwieldy because the character can't easily run through a crowd, can't change direction in the middle of a jump, and stops and starts with deceleration and acceleration, respectively, then you bought the wrong game. These aspects all make the game _better_ for me.

    Here are a couple of important suggestions (that you likely haven't done, as the default is otherwise) to help you enjoy the game more:

    1) Turn _off_ the Run Default option. This is the first game with which I've ever done that, and the result has been amazing. I find walking works really, really well, and I only run when I have open space to actually do so effectively.

    2) Turn off the Path to Objective and Undiscovered POI options. When these are on, you can easily find yourself walking straight from one objective and POI to another, and while looking at the on-screen path, you can completely miss the world. Save these options for when you are stuck, or when you are done exploring, to help you find anything you might have missed. You won't regret it; the world feels much more alive, and you may find that you experience it entirely differently and much more personally.

    Last three notes:
    1) I found the first area a bit slow. I found the same thing with Witcher 1 and Witcher 2. Maybe it just takes me a little time to buy into the world, or maybe CDPR has a little trouble with the beginnings of games. (It's probably a bit of both.) Stick with it, though, as Velen (and Novigrad!) is amazing!
    2) I saw that someone complained about how easy it was to walk into an empty home and clean it out. If that's the type of Witcher you want to play, so be it, but it seems reasonable it would be easy to clean out an empty house. That said, I am not that type of Witcher, and I very rarely steal things from the houses of the poor. They need that stuff. I do steal a bit more when I am in the house of a richer person, I must admit. Remember: it's a role-playing game, so it's up to you to decide how you treat the world.
    3) I have an older video card. It was slightly above average when I bought it two years ago. I am playing on medium-high settings, generally, but without Nvidia hair, and I've had consistently good frame rate on my PC. I even have NPCs set to Ultimate, and that can mean a _lot_ of people on the screen when in Novigrad. It sounds like PS4 users may be in rougher shape, as there seems to be a bit of a theme of them complaining about framerate. I don't know what to say about that, except to note that PC framerate is fine.

    Took me about 80 hours to complete, I did a lot of side quests early and not as many in the later stages of the game. I usually don't play games for the story but I absolutely blown away by the depth of the story in Witcher 3. This game delivered on everything I wanted it to.

    - Captivating story with loads of interesting characters
    - Top-notch dialogue and voice acting most of the time
    - Beautiful graphics despite the E3 downgrade controversy (the game is quite demanding as it is now)
    - Actually interesting and diverse side quests
    - Decisions often have real consequences, and they are almost never just black and white
    - Very adultlike, not shying away from themes like sex, war crimes and racism
    - All in all, the world feels really GoT-esque at times
    - Immensely rich content-wise, my first playthrough took 90 hours and I still had huge amounts of places to explore and quests to complete after that
    - Amazing soundtrack that fits perfectly into the game's world and its events
    - Bestiary and character list come in handy when trying to keep track of all the different creatures and people you meet in the game
    - Enemy variety is great and combat feels intuitive without being too simple...

    Cons:
    - ...But it doesn't feel as responsive as I think it should and can definitely take some getting used to
    - Battle preparations (potions, oils etc.) are quite useless unless playing on higher difficulties
    - Skill tree can feel a bit limiting and some of the skills are just pointless percentage stuff
    - Occasional bugs and glitches, although a lot of them have been patched already
    - Newcomers to the franchise can feel a bit confused by everything at first, albeit playing the previous Witcher games is not necessary to understand what's going on in this game
    - Can be a bit slow to get into, as is the case with most RPGs I've played

    Honestly, this is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, a must-buy for any fan of the genre. Just don't go into it expecting a game like Skyrim.

    I have been PC gamer for over 25years, and I would say this is one of the best game execution that I have had privilege to play. There are few items which tarnish the perfect score, but even those are very settle. I will mention them here: constrained movement control can be very annoying, especially while in combat, Skellige map and quests being somewhat bland, lack of actual night and low visibility, lack of FOV adjustment, and few quests being glitched. Otherwise, this game has really pushed the bar in terms of visuals, story, and immersion. Sadly, it still dominates even 2 years after it release. it is important as gamers and customers, that we award games like Witcher III as exceptional, in order to promote this expectation for the future games. Giving the game low score, just because the genre is incompatible with ones expectation, does not help. Witcher III is a complete execution of state of the art graphics, animation, sound and story. Something that cannot be said for even some of the newest titles, like MA: Andromeda.
    Kudos to CD Projekt, and I hope they continue this level of commitment and determination toward its customers.
    P.S. to rate this game as "without story behind" is like saying Lord of The Rings is story about killing monsters and throwing a ring into the volcano. Which in both case would be Correct but very Flawed observation. Not all "?" should have the meaningful story, and player should certainly not pursue each one of them if they dont want to. Plenty of other contents available.

    The Witcher 3 is a great western role playing game. It follows a more traditional role playing experience and should feel very familiar to fans of European style RPG mechanics.

It follows a more traditional role playing experience and should feel very familiar to fans of European style RPG mechanics. While the Witcher 3 has a number of core problems that become more and more noticeable as players spend the hundred or so odd hours completing the game, it is on the whole a great game that accomplishes a lot of things many recent role playing games couldn't achieve.

    In Geralt's third outing, we see a return to a story that puts the world at stake, the titular character placed firmly in its center, though sometimes to an egregious degree. While the story is for the most part involving, well told, and under the influence of the player's actions, the latter point is especially apparent in how certain events, while seemingly urgent, occur simply whenever the player chooses, occurring on time despite the player potentially taking in-game weeks to trigger the event. It doesn't seem like too huge a deal, but I think the NPC and world interactions in Dark Souls have really spoiled me, and have consequently made me much more aware of Geralt's position in the center of the universe.

    One thing a lot of people gloss over is the gameplay. The combat system is basic and works fairly well; in combat, Geralt is agile and capable of dancing around multiple attacking targets, using his signs more fluidly, and chaining attacks together. It's not a particularly complex system, but works well and gives the player all of the tools they really need to fight anything in the world a short time in. The problem with the combat is that it sees very little evolution throughout the game, and is held back for a number of reasons. Geralt is still limited to his swords, which have identical attacks but are intended for different targets, as per usual. Geralt can modify the nature of his attacks' effects through upgrades, slotted modifiers, oils, and consumable items. Earning experience in the world through quest completion, finding hidden upgrade nodes, and murdering everything is put to acquiring skill points that are used to upgrade Geralt's abilities, but there exist a number of problems with this system as well. Leveling up is quite slow, and many of the abilities modified Geralt in disappointing or unnecessary ways, despite my playing on the Death March difficulty on my first playthrough. There is a lot of missed potential in the abilities Geralt acquires, which amount mostly to basic scalars, such as allowing Geralt to carry more bombs and potions and whatnot. The most interesting and powerful upgrades are found in the sign upgrade tree, having the most impact on gameplay and becoming hilariously powerful late in the game, if the player chooses to invest heavily in them. While these abilities are cool, simply putting skill points into them doesn't allow Geralt those abilities, since they also have to be slotted into Geralt's available active skill slots, of which there are only twelve, compared to the total of 70 abilities. What's more is that unlocking the next tier of upgrades per tree has you arbitrarily dumping points into abilities you may never even use, just to get something you want further down the tree. You also unlock these active slots fairly slowly, gaining your last by the time you've reached the end of the game. On the whole it's a disappointing system that expands the player's abilities horizontally, and without much depth.

    While the Witcher 3 also features some standout enemy designs and quite a variety of them, there's a lot of palette swapping of attacks and models that are in some part excusable given the breadth of the game and the relatively small team designing it. Still, it's hard to shake the feeling that fighting one variation of an enemy archetype equates to fighting them all. Many quests also follow simple and formulaic designs for the most part, but also feature interesting and detailed scenery, insight into the world, well voiced characters, and well executed plots. Despite the repetitive nature of a lot of the side quests, I was still eager to complete them as they all felt like they fit in the world, and sometimes even unexpectedly played into the final outcome of the game. The main quest is also consistently great, with an impacting third act and epilogue especially. It's sad, then, that the world after the game's completion is so empty, with major characters disappearing entirely, giving players who have completed the main quest nothing to return to.

    Despite all of my criticisms, I still think the Witcher 3 is a great game, and among the best of its kind to be released in some time. It's beautiful and richly atmospheric, sprinkling in real folklore with a fantasy theme, while also executing its mature subject matter fairly well. While the combat and leveling systems are fairly shallow, I felt sufficiently powerful from the start, and increasingly proficient as I progressed happily, though slowly, to the finish.

They must then pay back the stored position as accomplished something that did not. I already have a minimum of three decisions that have no idea what comes of it. The worst thing is that I made the other three, who already influenced the world around me. And in the beginning it seemed like little things that do not affect the storyline.The little thing in this game are wonderfull. Even the crap that Geralt grow facial hair. I was personally pleased with the combat system, because it simply makes everyone by himself. A battle on horseback or riding and with sword try kill monster or humans, it's also a treat. For graphic i have one word. Beautiful. And of course it is a great compliment translation and for me personally polish voiceovers, which underline the atmosphere of the game.

    A few tips:

    1. Without alchemy you do nothing. Whether oils, potions and eventually firecrackers. Each potion should have a higher version. But you have to find the recipe. They refer to the treasures in remote strongholds, for tasks etc. The biggest advantage is that once you produce, you no longer have to look over materials. Potions are complemented by meditation (and thus replenishing oils, crackers) and alcohol consumption, therefore keep them at least 10 bottles of the best dwarf plum brandy. It is the difference between alcohol / drinking, which is not and which is alchemical

    2. Select the style. I do not recommend brawling experience points to all the groups at once, you'll have to way to fall in darkness. I need to concentrate on fast combat with a sword + red mutagen (improves my phase 2 mutagen 20% attack power) and Ignite + blue sign mutagen (phase 2 mutagen + 10% power for example). Everyone chooses something there. Potions, to fight, to sign.
    3. Fill even the smallest tasks seem trivial. Often it has a crazy effect on the surroundings and totally you modify an event. And he just did what out of this quest turns out, it's worth it.
