    The conclusion of Geralt’s game saga couldn’t be better. The large open world, great storytelling and dozens of hours of pure fun – this game is an absolute must for every RPG fan. [Issue#253]

    Its shockingly cohesive world is as beautiful as it is demanding, and it's packed full of mature content that throws you from one emotional response to the next. Its storytelling is superb, its combat is grippingly refined, and its often unforgiving nature only lends itself to a brilliantly rewarding experience.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a thoughtful, diverse, and frequently awe-inspiring adventure. Its stories are deep and satisfying, unafraid to touch on themes of personal character, presenting players with choices and consequences that aren’t about turning into a hero or a villain. In the end, it’s quite simply one of the best RPGs ever made.

    The amount of content we find in The Witcher 3 is outstanding, as is its quality. It is true that there are some aspects with some room for improvement, but it delivers such a rich and unique universe that you will soon forget about them.

    The Witcher 3 is one of the most hyped games this spring, but it's also one of the best. CD Project Red has managed to build a huge world that is both interesting and entertaining to explore. Add to that a well-crafted combat system and good opportunities to customize your character.

    It spends a great deal of its energy trying to impress the audience with unparalleled scope. The result is an experience that succeeds in its mission of being a grand experience, but commonly missteps when it comes to fundamentals such as combat, leveling systems, and user interface design.

    Witcher 3 is teaching the industry of how games should be done.
    A stunning achievement.

    What makes this game really stand out, aside beautiful graphics, awesome story and cinematic combat style is Geralt's character creation.
    Different to every other RPG protagonist. He's not a superhero, not a dragonborn, not the chosen one.
    He has human characteristics - despite the fact that he's a mutant. A little bit cynic at times, with great sense of humor.
    It looks simple, but this is what makes Geralt really enjoyable to play.
    You could be him.    … Expand

    Good, but not great. I have never been a fan of medieval fantasy games as a rule, and my experience basically consists of Dragon Age Origins,Good, but not great. I have never been a fan of medieval fantasy games as a rule, and my experience basically consists of Dragon Age Origins, which I liked.

    There is a lot of care into the story of this game (and it pays off immensely), but some technological aspects were overlooked and they reused things and because of that, I cannot give it a perfect score.

    I have to say it has pacing issues, and I did not enjoy the hunt to find Ciri in the beginning of the game, it is after Ciri is back that the game is fleshed out and gets interesting.    … Expand
