    I have just finished the game, leaving behind many secondary missions and activities to do. Analyzing the title I can say that ...
    Graphics:
    On Ps4 it behaves really well, never had a problem or a bug, very stable frame rate, breathtaking views and spectacular animations. Sound: amazing soundtrack and general sound perfectly performed. History and gameplay: beautiful and charming

    The game is absolutely polished in this version. It is one of the videogame pieces with more attention to detail, quality in all aspects (visual, technical, audio, narrative...) and an almost endless adventure.
    Just get it :)

    I've played through the game several times and the replay value is really high because there are so many different ends and decisions you can make.

    Besides, the world is just huge and there is so much to do and the graphics are really great.

    One of my absolute favorite games and definitely worth a buy recommendation.

    I would even want to award 11 points if it would work!

All the DLC First off, I'm not really a graphics snob and usually don't care much for that as long as the game design is good. However, this game simply blew me away. The level of detail in the world is astounding. I can only imagine how awesome this looks on a fast PC. This is simply the best looking game I've ever seen and I've played a hell of a lot of games. The attention to detail in the world building is top notch as well. I keep noticing little things here and there that just add so much life to the world. It's amazing from a visual standpoint. Like Skyrim times 10.

    It wouldn't mean much though if the gameplay wasn't great, but here too the developers knocked it out of the park. It's fluid and fun with a lot of little nuances. Magic and melee and ranged combat all intertwine effortlessy and there are many crafting options to enhance your weapons and abilities. This is an RPG at heart and so you expect to see some kind of upgrade path. It's quite robust and the abilities you can earn are plentiful. I spent many a painstaking moment trying to decide if I want that damage boost or if I should pump up my magic. The possibilities are endless and you can really tailor the character to your prefered style.

    Story. Well it's simply the best game storytelling wise I've ever played. Nuff said. I think this game is nearly perfect and you just don't see this type of product any more from a lot of the big name developers. A single player game that is complete and offers 200 hours or more of gameplay, amazing graphics, superb main story and side quests that matter. Polished to a perfect sheen. If you haven't played it, I recommend getting it right away. I don't really like giving out 10/10 perfect scores, but this game is worth it. I hope these developers continue in this fashion and can't wait to see their next game.

It shows a believable medieval fantasy world with all the dirty stuff other settings wont show you that happened in reality (racism, prostitution, war crimes, religious intolerance etc.). Also the game don’t shy away to give you consequences! You can not save everyone. There will be victims no matter which decision you made and there will be more victims if you don’t pay attention to details in side quest. It should be mentioned that there are nearly no bugs in this game which is praiseworthy in our times (Look at all the bug ridden EA and Bethesda games for comparison especially Fallout 76). The side activities are plentiful and interesting. You can hunt monster via contract, do many side quests for NPCs (which will often lie / trick you), explore the world for treasures (Weapons, armors, free skill points, receipts for alchemy etc), participate in horse races / fist fights or play Gwent. Gwent alone is so good that they made additional games for it (At least 2 up until now). The graphics are beautiful and the music is one of the best in video game history. I want to also mention that the DLC / Expansion are a welcome extension. You get a lot of play time out of it with even more interesting characters, stories and twists. For me this is a timeless classic which deserves all the praise and hundreds of game of the year awards. Expand

Then came 16 FREE DLCs shortly thereafter, then came the first expansion Hearts of Stone, which is more of a giant side quest to the main story. And finally the massive expansion Blood and Wine which acts as a perfect epilogue to not only to the Witcher 3, but to the video game series and the novels. With the completion of Blood and Wine, it's both rewarding, and feels like a true completion of the story that everything has been working towards. And also, even on release day of the Complete Edition, CD Project Red released a patch that fixes what glitches remained. As a result, the Complete Edition feels as though it's earned it's title as complete. If you're new to the series/game, this is an edition that will feel as money well spent and your curiosity may lead you to play previous installments and read the novels as it did for me, but also is a story that stands on it's own and feels complete.

When I first reviewed The Witcher 3 in May 2015 I believe I gave it a nine. There were some minor frame rate issues, infinite loading screens, etc. The Complete edition completely rectifies all of it. If you are a fan of RPG's and have not played The Witcher 3 yet I want you to first slap yourself as hard as you can, get in/on your car, bus, bike and go get the game! Or download it digitally, whatever. You will not be disappointed. Expand

You have to download a very tiny update for latest fixes which takes like half a minute to download. Your save(s) from the base game won't carry over to this edition, but you can start a new game or load each individual expansion from the main menu. If you start an expansion from the menu, the game will start you off at a recommended character level.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это самая лучшая игра в моей жизни!
    Нечасто можно поиграть в игру, в которой графика, озвучка (особенно русская), СЮЖЕТ (Наконец-то сюжет, который цепляет!!), геймплей и атмосфера! Шедевр!!
    Вы когда-нибудь жили жизнью главного героя? Я - да. Эта игра... этот шедевр заставляет... выбивает из тебя эти чувства, которые были только в старом добром Скайриме. Охх... Помните тот момент, когда Геральт встречает Цири на Острове Туманов? Вот честно скажите! Разве вы не заплакали, когда наш ведьмак увидел свою дочь мёртвой? Я честно плакал! Это невообразимое переживание за персонажей, которых ты знаешь только по рассказам из игры - просто непередаваемо! Это, конечно, одна из множества причин, почему каждый должен в эту игру поиграть.
    Графика. Одним словом, отличная ( особенно в комплекте дополнений Кровь и Вино).
    Я бы хотел более детально поговорить об атмосфере данной игры! Многим уже приелась мистика западных стран( особенно Америки). Так вот. CD Project Red порвала все шаблоны и представления. Да! Они это сделали! Славянская тематика присутствует в этом шедевре. Для меня, человека, чьи корни глубоко сплетены с историей славянских народов, это очень важно. Холопы, леший, домовой, водка и прочие слова - они греют душу. Ты не чувствуешь себя чужим, когда играешь эту игру.
    А диалоги! Благодать! Мне кажется, что в фильмах Тарантино диалоги намного скучнее. И самое главное - цензура не тронула сие игру! А хороший Русский мат всегда изумителен, особенно в этой игре.
    Ахх.. Чувствуете это?) Запах вина и крови... Да, дамы и господа! Это Туссент! Край, где вино и кровь течёт рекою! Я впервые вижу, чтобы DLC стало отдельной отличной игрой! Я очень много игр прошёл и ни в одной! Слышите! Ни в одной я такого не видел. Сколь же сладко ощущение от первых 10 секунд нахождения в Туссенте! Вам сразу предоставляют огромную ЯРКУЮ и невообразимо красивую страну.. И пока вы бьётесь в конвульсиях от этих диалогов и графики, вам сразу же предоставляют сразиться в боссом! Такое сразу же напоминает Dark Souls. Кстати, и по сложности эти игры похожи.
    Подытожим ! Пред предстаёт продукт высочайшего качества без всяких преувеличений, с отличной музыкой и саундтреками, бесподобной графику ( это первая RPG, по-моему мнению, графика является одним из главных плюсов), гейплеем и, конечно же, СЮЖЕТОМ!
    CD Project Red, вы смогли. Дорогие разработчики, вы порвали все шаблоны о жанре RPG в целом. Я надеюсь, что вы всё же не бросите приключения Геральта из Ривии и продолжите серию. Ну очень мы все хотим продолжения!
    Я рекомендую данную игру всем! Абсолютно каждому, ибо в этой игре есть всё, что нужно для счастья. Удачи на Пути!
    P.S. Данный обзор абсолютно субъективен и был записан исключительно на эмоциях, поэтому я не смог выразить даже 40% всех мыслей, которые есть у меня на данный момент об этой игре.

    At the beginning I felt like game introduction was slow and painful. Controls seemed not fluent and irritating. However, after hours of gameplay I definitely got used to it and understand how it works.

    Despite that I didn't play or like RPG games, this one becomes my favorite, Even though that amount of resources, materials, weapons, etc. is huge.

    Stories are interesting. Sometimes funny, or even hilarious.

    GUI becomes little irritating in two matters:
    - some places extremely long load times (no, not from Save, but simply opening an inventory)
    - item descriptions are not shown immediately after pointing them. And there are plenty, and some look precisely the same as small icons.

    GWENT is a really great addition to the main game. The better cards I have, the more pleasure is from a game.

    Some fight ending sequences are interesting. Though, become very repetitive after a while, of course.

    Faces. That's something that bothers me a little. There are so many different characters in the game that many get pretty much the same face, and eventually another clothing. Dejavu effect may be little bit irritating at times.
    Children is a slightly different matter. They look like dwarfs. I mean small, adult people instead of having actual features of the child's face.
    I loved pre-recorded scenes from games like The Last of Us or Uncharted. Here everything is generated dynamically with much worse effect, of course. But it may be excused knowing how much content game presents.

    2015 was a hell of a year. Bloodborne, MGS V Phantom Pain, Witcher 3, Fallout 4. So many game of the year contenders yet only one can be a true game of the year.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt beats it's rivals by managing to put together massive open-word, beautiful and very realistic graphics and just great story-telling both in main and side quests. Yes, in Witcher 3, in comparison to other games, every side quest feel like it's on a whole different level. The characters and their affairs are believable. Variety of quests is something that famous Skyrim lacked, but Witcher 3 delivered.

    One thing that makes Witcher special is not just graphics, not just realistic graphics. It's artistic graphics, aesthetics is right on point - what point? It's hitting on medieval, colorful world, but still filled with shades of something evil. Medievalism is expressed by detailed armors, knights, weapons, fortresses, castles, market squares and harbors. But this is just general, it's even more visible when you actually dive in the world of The Witcher 3. There is a whole culture of the famous Witcher saga recreated in the game. From architecture to costumes of common folk and aristocracy, everything is beautifully crafted and highly detailed. To such notion of realism slowly approach the animation. Animation of The Witcher 3 is great, but if we want it to be believable in RPG it must focus on relationships, on humans. If you are starting a quest, there is difference between starting a quest by some random NPC and starting it by NPC which gives you feel of actually being *someone*. This is where face animations gets in. They are perfect in TW3. Even more recent and praised game like Horizon Zero Dawn which is partially inspired by TW3, is not as good. TW3 is a game where you go to realistic ( and artistic ) fancy dress ball where humans actually look like humans and act like them, where setting is almost theatrical in every regard.

    While I've never imagined to focus on those aspects, I couldn't resign. Without it The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not what it is. Game which, at least for me, arouses artistic feelings.

    The gameplay - it's innovated, yet some simplifications in order to work on consoles were implemented. The core of it - combat which variety seems to outclass many other games, including previous parts of The Witcher franchise. The combat system is great, much better than other games of this type I played. It is not enough to hack an opponent with a sword, but the signs are also very useful (I use Quen and Igni), I used less of oil, but it has also been useful. Firecrackers, elixirs and crossbows - firecrackers are of course used to destroy monster nests, potions are useful in the fight against stronger opponents, and the crossbow will prove very useful on Skellige and, generally speaking, under water.

    So the combat system is something that The Witcher 3 did well.

    Combining with exceptional music it's reaching something that I've never dreamed of when I was a child, starting my life's adventure with games.

    Final verdict: 10/10
