    Editor’s Opinions:

    The Witcher 3 was one of the most anticipated games of the year and it delivered well past expectations. After putting well over 60 hours into the game, I felt as if I had barely put a dent in it, and that is okay in anybody’s book when a game cost $60 a pop.

    Editor’s Opinions:

    The Witcher 3 was one of the most anticipated games of the year and it delivered well past expectations. After putting well over 60 hours into the game, I felt as if I had barely put a dent in it, and that is okay in anybody’s book when a game cost $60 a pop.

    Sound:

    Music in The Witcher 3 gets a bit repetitive but not to the point that it is annoying by any means. Interactions with other characters feel right, as the voice acting is perfect and believable. Combat sounds incredible as you deal or take damage.

    Graphics:

    The Witcher series has been beautiful since the first game released and 3 was no different. The open world looked and felt massive, but every piece of the game looked so detailed. Characters were laggy at times, but this did not take away from how pretty this game looked overall.

    Gameplay:

    The Witcher 3 is known for great combat, and great combat is what it gave players. No matter if it was an easy 3 hit kill, or a long drawn out battle during a hunt, it played perfect. Looting new gear and weapons keeps you busy and like all open world games, inventory is a pain to sort through. All over gameplay for The Witcher 3 will keep players happy throughout the entire game and more.

    Replay Value: Moderately High

    Story:

    The Witcher 3 tells an engaging story, full of emotions and attachments to characters. With hours and hours of side quest plus a relatively long story, The Witcher 3 prevails with story telling.

    A near-perfect experience on console, The Witcher 3 concludes Geralt's story in a way that makes you care about every response you give and every character that you meet. The story provided by a side-quest puts a game like Destiny to shame, as every part of this game has a meaning and a purpose.

    Though the camera system and controls can sometimes be unresponsive and make for some hilarious glitches, once you enter this world (that is 4x bigger than Skyrim) you will not be able to put your controller down once you begin that quest to find Ciri, meeting memorable and loveable characters along the way. A true must-play.

    Probably the best RPG I've played in a while, with such an immersive story and breath-taking graphics. Many monsters to fight, quests to do and NPC's you can help. Many dialogue options that can be interesting and create different choices and endings. Combat is somewhat fluid, and you can choose between signs (spells), a cross bow, bombs, and your swords, plus some potions and elixirs.

Combat is somewhat fluid, and you can choose between signs (spells), a cross bow, bombs, and your swords, plus some potions and elixirs. You can improve combat by leveling up and adding to skills. But the story is great, and the towns and forests of the Continent are worth sight-seeing if you can handle it.

    You must also know that this game feels more like a story than an RPG. I had no problem with that, but if you have a small attention span then you might not like this game. Otherwise, it's a must-have game for die hard role-playing fans.

There is just a feel of adventure and fun that emanates throughout the entire 25+ hour experience. It feels like you're living inside of a living, breathing Tolkien novel. Usually I say gameplay is king. And, for the most part it is. And while I would prefer a lightly less "spammy" and janky experience during combat, it is far from being bad. It's just a part of the game that's weaker than the rest; and considering that the rest is so amazing, my recommendation does not falter. Go out there and buy it. It was worth $60 when it first came out, so it's definitely worth whatever you can pay for it now. Expand

The negative reviews have their points: some slightly clunky mechanics at times. That being, you might find yourself wondering in to a wall here and there, struggle to have the smoothest of horse rides from time to time - the horse riding is the most clunky... you can jump 'roach' over obstacles but there's times when your going full gallop an a little broken brick wall might be somewhat in your way and where you might hope 'Roach' has the initiative to leap over the little wall instead you come to an abrupt hault before you've seen it... you have to be a horse jump master, basically. But it's hardly a worry because they've ingeniously input a mechanic where if one is riding along a path, if you let go of the analogue controls, you can ride said path without steering, just canter, gallop and glue - makes for nice scenery watching as you ride, though be sure to steer when you get to a cross-road or hair pin or you'll soon be riding in the wrong direction. But other than a minor bit of clunk here and there (trying to angle your screen just right to select one of several bags that you haven't looted yet) this is an otherwise fluid and tasty little game.

    Anyone **** about loss of combat mechanics is talking rubbish - okay there's not the pedantic math of the huge MMO RPGs but if I'm honest that to me is a bonus; no game should be bestable based on one's ability to sum up the digits... it should be bestable on one's unique talents - I get so down when the only way to be king of the crop is to "HAVE THIS INCREDIBLY SPECIFIC LOADOUT AND SKILLSET AND ARMOUR" - The Witcher delivers this but otherwise relies on a player's collection of potions and bombs, the diagrams they've found and all manner of skill combinations - when it comes down to it, if you can't kill the monster up ahead, it's because you haven't read your beastiary like a real Witcher, you haven't found the right tools for the specific job and you just aint got the stones to take the creature down. No one collection of items does it all - this: me likey very much!

    Graphically of course it's stunning - overly orange dazzling sunrises over forested peaks and where folks and saying: same old westernised fantasy realm (unoriginal) I beg to differ! The USA is typical for it's glossy caricature of fantasy, Project Red delivers, instead, a far more (in spite of a nice hue at sundown) wind-beaten landscape, craggy, haunting. I've wondered enough fantasy game forests without so much as a whisper of fear only to find myself feeling slightly spooked when first caught in the middle of the mist-veiled trees of Velen. The monsters don't feel like alien lifeforms either, they look like monsters that could very well exist in our human world - pit me against a any of the beasts of ESO or Warcraft any day over the horrible flesh-sloughing, skeletal and fang-ridden horrors of the world of the Witcher. Even the bears have a lumbering, hulking majesty over the roly poly figures I've seen across all manner of other available digital landscapes.

    There are plenty of fantasy cliches but where I've seen other realms fail to capture the sincerity of their story vs. the humour in their in jokes, the Witcher just seems to breeze both, every cliche is obviously and intentionally hilarious whilst the genuine nature of its more serious undertones feel far more alive, more pressing and genuinely harrowing. I thought I'd hate Geralt's typical American hero, husky, sarcastic and blunt demeanour: instead I genuinely LOVE it - it's relentlessly funny because it's so awfully jarring - some smooth, stereotypical badass trying to reason with confused Welsh peasants; really funny. And there's another win, in spite of the American cast of heroes, everyone else is deliciously Euro/UK regional in accent, the Mancunians, the Yorkshireman, the Glaswegians, the Cockneys, the Spaniards and the Poles... all done with enough racial stereotype but genuinely accurate dialect and mannerisms to make this game feel so much more real and alive than the static; "Hey! You there, please help me with this quest! My sheep are lost and I have a reward for anyone who can find them" NPCs of too many fantasy gaming realms.

    Sore that you can't kill any old random NPC? Well then you're missing the most integral part of the Witcher universe: several novels and short stories combined emanating from as early on as the 1980s, 2 other games of rich (apparently non-canon but so well-done that many consider them to be) history and storyline and characters not of your own design - they have their own morals or lack of and for me, immersing myself in that story and character mindset appeals to my inner love for fantasy and story over my desire to just run around like a headless Trevor Phillips murdering everything in my path: not that kind of game at all.

    This game is for the gamers looking for something to last them a few evenings of every week for the next year to come. Get buried in it. I know I am.

    Visuals and audio are top notch, you just can't get enough of watching game's picturesque landscapes, cities, villages, caves and forests. You often just slow down and listen to people chatting, nature humming and music casting its spell. Combat is fast paced, tactical, challenging and satisfying, yet it could be even more challenging for my personal preference (like in Dark Souls 3) because even on the hardest possible difficulty I fare quite well and don't die all that often.

    This is one of those gems that doesn't let you quit playing like the best book or your favourite TV series. If you haven't played this one you have to buy if with all the expansions and let it take you on a breathtaking journey to Sapkowski's amazing world. The best adventure of your life guaranteed. Trust me: buy it :)

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ist eines, wenn nicht sogar DAS unglaublichste Spiel, das ich je gespielt habe. Der facettenreiche Charakter Geralt, welchen ich bereits aus den Büchern kannte und mich faszinierte, ist mir mit der Zeit immer mehr ans Herz gewachsen, sowie seine Freunde Rittersporn, Zoltan und Co., Liebschaften wie Yennefer und Triss (und viele mehr ;D) und zu guter letzt Ciri und seine Hexerkollegen. Auch wenn die Animationen der Gesichter in Sachen Komplexität nicht gerade überzeugen, bringen sie dennoch jede Emotion rüber und wirkten bei mir in jeder einzelnen der herrlichen Zwischen Sequenzen. Gerade das Finale des Hauptspiels ließ mich völlig Baff vor dem Bildschirm sitzen, den Tränen nahe. Ich möchte jetzt nicht auf alle Details eingehen, weshalb dieses Spiel eines der großartigsten Spielerlebnisse, das ich je hatte ist, sondern mich bedanken. Bedanken für jede einzelne Stunde die ich in dieser Welt verbringen durfte. Vielen Danke an CD Projekt RED, den meiner Meinung nach fairsten und fähigsten Entwicklern zur Zeit. Auch Andrzej Spkowski möchte ich herzlichst Danken, dafür dass er diese wunderbaren Büchern geschrieben hat und die Entwicklung dieses Spiels ermöglichte. DANKE!

There are not a lot of customisation options and therefore the game play sometimes feels a bit shallow. However that never distracted me from the excellent storytelling. The soundtrack and Visuals also ad value to the already amazing story.

You have the ability to explore 3 large areas (including Toussant) and several smaller areas, each with its' own distinct culture. Whenever you walk into a village, more often than not you can make decisions that will shape how people respond to you there and in the general area.

    Wherever you go in the witcher 3, you can count on one thing. It's gonna be pretty. NPC's are very well voice-acted and Geralt's voice actor did a great job portraying him.

    If you're looking for a game that you can quickly beat, this isn't it. I started playing the Witcher 3 in March of 2019, and only just now finished it in Feb. of 2020. This game had me from start to finish. Even the side-quests had me on the edge of my seat.

    Quite simply one of the best games ever made. I only had a couple of glitches but due to the size of the sandboxes I can forgive them. A truly great story, lovely environments, great characters, and Geralt is, well, Solid Snake the high fantasy version and that can't be bad. Oh yes, Gwent! Great card mini game.

    BEST RPG EVER! played it multiple times through and never get tired of it. Story is enthralling and graphics are amazingly perfect in every way. It’s nice to have such a AAA game have mature content and still have wonderful voice acting and long story with a huge open world, quests that seem like they make a difference in the game world. I wish they would make a Witcher 4.

    Great game! It took me about 12 hours to slowly reach level 5 (I wasn’t in a rush). Considering I just found a weapon schema requiring being level 30, that’s a good sign that I will be playing this game for 100-200 hours. That is an amazing value for money. And, that’s even before any of the upcoming free DLCs. The future is looking great!

And, that’s even before any of the upcoming free DLCs. The future is looking great!

    The open world is beautiful. I saw people complaining about this world not worthy of being “an open world”. They don’t know what they are talking about. This isn’t a corridor game. This isn’t a “Destiny open world” either. It’s a massive world and you can pretty much go wherever you like. Only in a while, they block access to an area mainly to prevent the gameplay from unravelling too quickly.

    The gameplay and storytelling is of very high quality. Goof variety of choices (spare them, kill them, insult them, be nice, etc). The fighting system is responsive and fluid.

    My four small annoyances with the game are: the fiddly inventory system (Witcher 2 system was better). The game text is too small (read the studio is working on it – I activated PS4 “Accessibility” feature in the meanwhile). The movement first step is often awkward and off (obvious when in building trying to loot (steal) items). The video sequences, even if high quality images often lack the smoothness in their movement (surprisingly with the techs of these days).

The story is memorable and very captivating. CDProjekt RED made no mistakes when writing it, especially because of the fact that it is totally non-linear. All the quests are very smooth and don't drag on too long. Even if there is a lot of traveling involved, I have always found it fascinating to ride through unexplored terrain on horseback, even discovering new towns whilst in the middle of a quest, which I may do upon my own bidding. The characters, you may love or you may hate, but they strike emotion, and that is what makes them unforgettable. The world is vast and filled with a myriad of things to explore. It would take hours for me to bore myself looking around the map, let alone a single town. It is very obvious that there was some inspiration from other games, such as Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. If you have not played either of the first two Witcher games, I recommend you play at least one to familiarize yourself with some of the core elements of the game.

    I am afraid , however, I must address the graphics. If you were expecting to play what you saw in the 2013/2014 trailers, then you may be disappointed. The game was heavily optimized to keep frame rates up. In doing thus, the game has become a lot less pretty and overwhelmingly realistic. The foliage is clearly not three dimensional, the hair (even with Nvidia Hairworks) does not look very kosher, and some of the terrain textures look rather grainy. There is still some very beautiful imagery, but overall, it is definitely not up to par with some of the less recent games, like DA: Inquisition. However, this does not take away from the gameplay.

    All in all, this game is a marvelous experience and I highly recommend you try it out, graphical downgrade aside.

    A very, very good RPG that for me places better than DA Inquisition but is not a Skyrim beater.

    Good - Beautiful and huge game world, unlike games like Red Dead or GTAV there is plenty to do in it as well. The story is excellent and even without playing previous Witcher games will keep you hooked. The voice acting is also superb compared to most other games and is up there in quality with the likes of Mass Effect series. Finally, finally you are now able to customize Geralt a bit. Gameplay is good enough to facilitate your journey through the game.

    Bad - Levelled armor; in any game ever made, is just annoying, games should follow Skyrim and Souls and just let players wear anything, it just works better. Also, no RPG should have armor that is unobtainable; once again, much like FF games, the antagonists wear cooler armor than can ever be obtained by the player, a crazy design decision by the devs. The reason I lasted an hour on the Witcher 2 was because I couldn't customize the player character; now I can which is a huge plus but it would be better if players had the option of designing their own character from scratch.

    Verdict - If you enjoy the games I have mentioned, Skyrim and Dragon Age especially, you will enjoy this game also. The lack of character creation takes away from the RPG element but doesn't ruin the game. 8/10.

    Muchos años esperando este juego hasta que por fin pude tener en mis manos la Edición Coleccionista -un regalo de mi novia- y solo puedo decir que me ha fascinado en todos sus aspectos. La verdad no tengo muchas palabras para definir lo que me causo este juego, solo sentimientos con grandes recuerdos de los libros, de mis favoritos para siempre.

    Empezamos por la parte grafica que para mí es excelente, tiene muchos lugares diversos y llenos de vida, en los cuales me perdí por muchas horas por ejemplo Novigrado es una ciudad muy bellamente diseñada me quede mucho tiempo en ella, también el modelado de personajes para ser un sandbox está muy bien conseguido. Puestas de sol increíbles, anochecer hermoso y sistema climático muy bueno.

    En el apartado de sonido es increíble, los encargados del audio junto con Percival hicieron un gran trabajo, música que acompaña cada momento y en ocasiones que solo me quedaba escuchando la melodía, una banda sonora épica.
    La historia es grandiosa y ese montón de guiños a los libros y personajes de juegos anteriores me dan una gran alegría. Ver a Yen y Ciri -que es de mis personajes literarios favoritos, la vi crecer y evolucionar durante los libros- simplemente me causó una emoción indescriptible. La toma de decisiones es demasiado genial, muchas que tomar durante la aventura y personas que a veces crees que ayudas pero no lo es así, este mundo creado por Andrzej Sapkowski es muy gris, no todo es lo que parece, no hay un bien o mal a veces bien definido, es algo que me encanto en los libros y aquí se plasma muy bien.

    En el apartado de misiones todas las principales están geniales y las secundarias igual, aunque algunas más simples que otras pero la mayoría muy bien hechas y con sus propias mini historias, que a veces involucran menciones a los mismos libros o personas de los otros juegos. La caza se monstruos es el punto fuerte, hay que averiguar sus debilidades y estudiarlos muy bien para poderles hacer frente, en niveles de dificultad altos hay que planificar todo muy bien, me sentí como un verdadero brujo.

    En el apartado jugable también me encanta muchísimo, es una evolución de lo que vimos en The Witcher 2 pero mucho más ágil y en el nivel mas alto hay que ser muy cauteloso y saber utilizar muy bien las señales de brujo. Las diferentes armaduras y armas nos dan ventajas pero también desventajas ante ciertos rivales. El uso de pociones y aceites esta genial y hay que saber bien como y cuales aplicar para hacer una pelea bastante equilibrada con algún rival fuerte o monstruo. CD Projekt ha querido calcar mucho ese baile que hacen los brujos al pelear según lo descrito en los libros y lo hace muy bien.

    Obviamente no hay juego perfecto, tiene algunos pequeños errores gráficos y otros en el combate, uno que otro bug menor pero en sí nada que haya afectado mi experiencia de juego pero es parte de hacer este mundo tan grande pero tan bien detallado, no hay juego perfecto pero si juegos hechos excelentemente bien y con amor.

    Los minijuegos muy bien implementados, Sardinilla a veces se controla un poco extraño pero en términos generales cumple, las cartas me pareció un juego muy divertido y los puños algo parecido a lo que era en The Witcher 2. El sistema de navegación está bastante bien y para mi es bastante entretenido navegar por ratos.

    En definitiva es una saga que amo muchísimo me ha dado grandes momentos desde que tuve la oportunidad de leerme todos los libros y empezar a jugar The Witcher 1 fue una experiencia sublime, ver como muchos de los personas que leí cobraban vida en un medio como este es magistral. The Witcher 2 también me encanto en todo y este que analizamos, obviamente desde una perspectiva totalmente subjetiva es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado y de los mejores juegos de rol en mi top.
    Nada mejor que un estudio lleve una de tus obras favoritas de la literatura a un videojuego y mas que sea épicamente en tu genero favorito que es el rol. Vamos a esperar con muchas ganas la expansiones, ojala traigan mucho contenido.

    Muchas Gracias Andrzej Sapkowski por crear tan hermoso pero real mundo literario, con personajes carismáticos y temas de muchas importancia en el ámbito social, económico, filosófico y Muchas Gracias CD Projekt por llevarlo y ampliarlo de una manera tan magistral a los videojuegos. Te has retirado de la mejor manera mi gran amigo Geralt de Rivia. Hasta Siempre.

    Many many hours in to the game, and I felt compelled to edit my original sceptics review.

    My god, the main story in this game is likely the best written in any game, period. I was hooked at the early steps of the game, but the Baron storyline sucked me in like a promiscuous black hole. This is the first time, I'd like to say ever, when I wished I had made different choices in a video game, and actually felt feelings. Not ashamed to say, but there were tears…

    Gwent, best mini game ever embedded in any game, period. When someone says it's the small things that count, they mean including Gwent as part of Witcher 3. I've spent countless of hours slapping cards with people ranging from inn keepers to royalty, and I'm not going to stop until I'm done. What I'm now hoping for that down the line there will be a DLC that expands Gwent to some new unimaginable dimensions. What was I going to say…. Right! Gwent is pretty good.

    Well, there are still some glaring issues touched in my original review. To this date, the game has crashed on PS4 upwards to 10 times. In bigger cities, the loading times are so bad that a dialogue option doesn't pop up in time, and that merchant you're so willing to save is beaten to death before your eyes. Controls work the best if you just spam X, and run around like a headless chicken while looting. Swimming is equal to water torture. And so forth… It's not a finished game, in my opinion.

    I also do not really like the battle system that much. At the beginning, it was challenging, but once your gear and skill improves, battles become quite trivial. One reason for this is the skill tree. There is a very obvious "best solution" to enhance your combat abilities. It really is a no-brainer later in the game, and The One strategy for upgrading skills takes much of the challenge out from fights.

    Second thing about the battle system is that there is at times very little control over the character and camera movements. Particularly in tighter spaces. I've somehow managed to kill griffins without ever actually seeing the monster, if that gives you any idea…

    Side quests, yes, there are a TON with capital all letters. However, going through all the locations and side quests becomes quite repetitive after a while. Fair enough, there are only so many things anyone can do, and only so many ways of how to make them interesting, but riding through a bog for the 50th time to search for a body and blood tracks is not my cup of tea. I'd rather play Gwent at an inn.

    (Second) Final verdict: As an RPG, this game is a master piece. Despite the annoying bugs and plagues of all RPGs of massive scale, no self-respecting gamer can miss this title. This is the first game since vanilla WoW that has sucked me in so badly that I just have to play to the wee hours, and do just "one more quest". Fantastic work.

    ******Original Review********

    Close, but no cigar. A few hours in, what can I say about this game? I had high hopes based on all the hype surrounding this edition in the Witcher saga, but let's be honest here for a second: It's not a finished game.

    [deleted for exceeding character limit]

    Final verdict: If you're willing to put up with the bugs, controls and out-dated graphics, buy it. The story is compelling and the world is big. But, I would wait a few months for patches to start rolling up so the obvious problems don't spoil the experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. May contain spoilers. Summery - Story: 8/10. Missions: 7/10. Aesthetics: 10/10. Audio: 8/10. Game-play: 7/10. Content: 9/10. Controls: 6/10

    In-depth review - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a brilliant game. Having sunk many hours into it, I have seen and done much but not nearly everything. It has taken me around 30 hours (not including exploration of which I have done around 10) to get to the near the end - I am just a few missions away. So, I have decided to share my thoughts on this staggering game.

    Story and Missions - As I said, around 30 hours and I haven't quite yet completed it and personally, I find the story a little boring and long-winded with the missions being a bit too repetitive. However, I have scored them an 8 and a 7 respectively because, my personal opinion aside, they are well written and occasionally very interesting with some well put together characters.
    But personally, I found the missions all too much the same - go here, mop up a room of hostiles or take on a monster, return for pay/information on Ciri. The almost endless stream of speaking to someone who wants you to find someone else so they will tell you where the person you're looking for isn't just wore the experience down for me. Throw in an often dry and lengthy story while talking to someone and getting nothing from them beyond more "find area, search for clues, find nothing and move on" missions and it really took the wind right out of my sails which too often made me put the game down. You may like it which is why I am not judging based on personal preference.

    Aesthetics and Audio - The sounds of slicing someone's head clean off or severing their arm and head from their torso is rather horrendous... which is why it is fantastic. The detail they have taken to the bulk of the audio is brilliant. However, there are many sounds that just seem clunky and almost don't match. Galloping a horse across sand makes a muffled, scratchy sound - like hitting a wall wearing a Hook and Loop glove - yet in the game, it sounds like 2 halves of a muffled coconut smacking together. Also, the music tends to either not really fit or just fade into the background making it a bit of a waste. Aesthetically, the game is beautiful - very well-crafted and each section looks almost like nature itself had created it. The detail on the creatures and people of the land are actually very good and feels as though someone had actually been there and recreated the man and beasts as CGI. Bugs and glitches are relatively common, but none I would consider particularly game-breaking and I won't mark the game down for them as they can be fixed in patches and so fourth.

    Game-Play, Controls and Content - Here the game stumbles a bit. The controls tend to be quite counter-intuitive, clumsy and very sluggish at times - often too much of the time. Times I have wanted to go from jogging to sprinting and Geralt has stopped and extinguished a fire or I have been stood in front of a flame and he has opened a container of loot or I have wanted to draw a sword quickly and he has taken his time, seemingly pondering the complexities of the universe while a gang of thugs roll on me, are simply too often. However, once you get a rough handle of the controls (after many hours) they still feel a bit awkward, but, aside from the occasional muck up, can pull themselves together. I have explored a great deal of the world but there is still much much more left almost begging me to explore it. I wouldn't say it is as seductive as say Skyrim's world - and by that I mean I haven't as often seen a cave or castle and been drawn in - but this is mainly due to it being mostly out in the open, whereas Skyrim and Oblivion, there was more mystery in not being able to see into a cave before entering. However, it is very interesting and so airy, I actually enjoyed just walking through a plain or a Forest or something; even without seeing anything off interest as it was just so lovely and pleasing a place to be.

    Overall verdict - Staggering and beautiful land with plenty of interesting and well-crafted inhabitants - man and beast - but let down by clumsy controls and somewhat repetitive missions giving a score of 8/10. A great game, definitely worth getting - especially if you enjoyed Dragon Age: Inquisition and want to explore almost something like an open-world version. If you just want something to fill The Elder Scrolls gap while waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI, then I would advise you dabble with the story, not going too deeply just to see if you like it, and just enjoy the world. Enjoy responsibly - a friend of mine adores this game and he used to have a social life before he purchased this.

    3) Beautiful graphics

    Cons
    1) FPS problems on consoles
    2) Gameplay can be too boring if not played in Blood and Bones or Death March difficulty.

If you haven´t play previous witcher games i recommend at least watch on Youtube, some story summary from witcher 1 and 2. You will find videos that explain main story in 5 min. You can also find videos that were made like a movie so you get familiar with the characters. The game had some technical flaws at the begining,on consoles, frame rate, and graphical issues. Now the game is perfect to play, and all expansions are already released. I recommend to start the game on Death March to get the full experience, and deactivate the enemy health bars and all the unnecessary HUD like button prompt, just leave your health bar the mini map and enjoy.

    There is so much to love about this game but it's not perfect.
    The Good: The graphics are astounding... it's like watching a movie. The voice overs and sound are excellent. The story is very immersive and interesting.
    The Bad: Not the best port over from console to PC. They got really lazy in not building a complete key remapping system... it's like they figured everyone used W,S,A,D.

I'm half tempted to write a separate program to give people this option. The movement seems weird... it's fine for a console but PC users like precise movement. The combat systems needs work... it seems to have a slight delay.

    All this is forgivable I guess. I picked up a copy on ebay for $36 so not a big investment. I find the game is easier and more fun if I use my xbox controller to play it. Looking forward to playing this over the next few months.

    One of the best games I've ever played, with my only 2 complaints being the following:

    1. There are so many pointless things to read. Like 90% of the books you read don't do anything or have anything really important to say. 2. There are way too many different types of each type of item; like herbs, food, crafting supplies and some of them you either never use, or use only 1 of ever

    2. There are way too many different types of each type of item; like herbs, food, crafting supplies and some of them you either never use, or use only 1 of ever and they just end of taking up inventory space which slows navigating through your inventory down tremendously. This game could have gotten away with having just 5 types of herbs

It's a huge world to explore and there are more quests and storylines than any other rpg to date. However, story telling is both great and sometimes flat.

    Witcher 3 is very well written, and pays attention to the details it has to leave in such a medieval world. Every town has a personality, and seems lively - even the way most quests are given is realistic, and that's a huge step forward in making you enter its world.

    However, small inconveniences may appear when trying to control Geralt or its horse; the controller is far from being

    However, small inconveniences may appear when trying to control Geralt or its horse; the controller is far from being really precise and it happens to be very annoying at times. The battle system also requires you to unlearn how it worked in some other games similar for its combat, which is another annoyance.

    This game is incredibly intriguing, looks amazing, has terrific design of both visuals and the mechanics of the game itself as well as some of the most compelling story writing you'll ever see (every quest, EVERY, has it's own unique narrative. There are no lazy ambient quests).

    The issue, however, with this game is twofold: size/scale and pacing.

    If you are someone who enjoys being constantly stimulated and moving from one destructive engagement to the next, TW3 is not for you.
    Likewise, if travelling over large distances does not sound appealing to you, TW3 may not be your game.

    This is because The Witcher 3 is both an incredibly huge game, and an incredibly well paced game. I say well-paced here because in terms of game design the pacing in this piece of media is just phenomenal. Playing for the first time generally everything happens at the right time in terms of preparedness and intrigue, and due to the expansive setting you will never be rushed.

    However this slow and methodical approach which permeates almost every part of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may leave some people feeling bored, as the immediate objective is yours to decide, getting into action is not always a button click away, and the game is by and large entirely driven by the compelling narrative and excellent acting.

    If you want something easy to consume and have fun with, avoid The Witcher 3.

    If you want the equivalent of a good book (or series of books) in the form of interactive entertainment, then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the game you've probably been waiting for if you haven't played it already.

    The Witcher 3's subject matter, its almost defiant doubling down on its treatment of women as titillating props for Geralt and the player, even as it tries to flesh out more female leads, is its most disappointing aspect. This constant presence weighs down what would otherwise be an excellent bit of closure for Geralt's video game saga — which isn't helped by the control issues that often detract from sequences meant to break up open-world monotony.
