    BEST GAME EVER!!! Graphics, story, music and sounds effects are perfect. Even some unexpected reactions from folk based on earlier actions are very nice.

    The downside of this game: it wil ruin all the other games!! No other game can compete with this one, even Zelda Breath of the wild.

    Probably the best game of the generation and one of the best games ever made. The best thing it does is a perfect recreation of a distinguished world, with a storytelling that will keep your attention for sessions of 3, 4, 12...hours playing. Not only in the main story, but also in the secondary quest, it's always very interesting and everything gives you a reward that will make you come for more.

    - The level of presentation in terms of graphics, animations, interfaces, and all other visual elements are unprecedented in role-playing games. Bugs are often very minor. The attention to detail in this game is staggering.
    - A wide variety of gameplay opportunities that are all very detailed and varied.
    - Combat isn't anything revolutionary... but it works as it was intended to. That being said, the game controls very well.
    - Despite having never played the original 2 games, I never felt lost in the story or how the world works.
    - Respectable business model. The two expansions are just as, if not more detailed than the main game and are well-worth their price. There's no paywalls, season passes, or any other ****

    Cons
    - The game's portrayal of men versus women are skewed at times. This is more of an issue with side characters that are insignificant in the grand scheme of the game.    … Expand

Along with a game company that gets angry when people "play their game wrong" seeing fit to change anything and everything a player finds that isn't hack and slash mechanics. Leveling up magic is this game does not ultimately help you. Any time a viable magic build has been found by players CD Projekt removes it nearly immediately stating that you need to be a warrior.

    Why is the combat system bad? Let's compare it to Dark Souls, Dark Souls is a game where you telegraph your moves and if you do the wrong move you are punished. In the Witcher 3 you also telegraph your moves, but your character at random changes targets, and flys around like a ballerina. The need for spinning attacks to be your "fast attack" is ridicules. This game focuses entirely on attempting to look appealing and not throws common sense and good game play out the window. The hit boxes feel miles long (for your character only) and while there is a dodge button it is completely useless because all enemies have a jump at you an attack move. Negating your entire dodge due to the extremely poor hit boxes. If you hit an enemy whilst they are in mid attack fear not they will still hit you, there is no such thing as knockback for enemies, that is only something the player character suffers from. If you do manage to down a few hundred monsters, don't not fret you will not level. You can grind monsters to your hearts content and your character will never improve as experience is largely only granted by quests. The unending struggle to overcome bad controls make this game nothing more than an irritation.

    The quest mechanic, the only thing in the game that seems to reward experience. The level recommendations on it are by no means accurate. A level 5 quest my decide it has level 12 monsters. Meaning if you attempt it at say level 6 you will be destroyed. The quests are always fetch this or go kill that. There is little diversity and leaves the game feeling like a second job. Personally, I would rather be earning money then grinding repetitively though a very unrewarding experience. A large problem with this game is effort to reward ratio is far of base. Nothing makes you feel like you have done a good job or achieved anything. Monster killing is pointless, but you'll talk to the right villager and instantly granted 400 experience, every level only takes 1000 experience to gain, so 400 experience is substantial. The questing experience isn't granted based on how difficult the quest is or how long it took to do, simply at random. If you are looking for a rewarding RPG in this sense, maybe try Horizon or any of the From Soft games (Dark Souls, Bloodbourne, Demon Souls).    … Expand

I'm wracking my brains to uncover why I cannot enjoy it, and it is difficult to put into words. The graphics (especially light effects and weather cycles) are really nice, and the Eastern Europe-inspired countryside is wonderfully realised. There is a nice atmosphere about the game and when you reach the second 'continent' it truly opens up. The dialogue choices are staggering and expansive for sure. The effort that has went into making this game is so evident throughout but unfortunately, for me, there are too many key flaws that mar the whole experience for me and have actually made me give up playing.

    The combat is awful, there are no two ways about it. Controls (both in and outside of battles...horse riding is a nightmare) are sluggish. Options for attacking are quick or hard strike, or dodge pretty much. 3 out of the 5 signs (spells) effectively do the same thing (stun the enemy). The camera and screen placement causes enemies to linger unseen ready to pounce on your preoccupied back. You can increase your damage output with potions and oils. And this is pretty much when the combat ends. The skills you can choose upon levelling up have little to no impact on the game, unlike similar lightly RPG titles like Fallout of Bioshock. The absence of true RPG elements here is probably what disappointed me most, yet the game feigns these properties often. Levelling up is almost entirely achieved via quest completion. The minimal amount of XP gained from killing enemies is baffling to me and one of the system's biggest flaws. And in the game's more difficult moments, there is no respite for trying to better yourself (like the Souls series or other traditional RPGs) - losing is often not your own fault but one of the many system flaws'.

    The story and characters are fine, but the endless fetch quest plot was already grating on me by the 20 hour mark. A single quest stretches on for hours with literally the same tasks repeatedly in succession. I failed tasks through absolutely no fault of my own (people dying in other locations). There is little motivation to complete anything, and when you do your rewards are meager. This all adds up to giving me little desire to progress in the game.

    This may be the game for many people out there (evidently), but I cannot play it any longer on account of the above issues. I recognise its merits as a well-presented, expansive and busy medieval world with loads to do and see. But being marketed as an action RPG, I expected these elements to be strongest when they are in fact the contrary. I can't get over the lack of depth in the game's battle and growth systems. I completely appreciate that the depth lies in the story/quest/dialogue-focused branching narrative, but this is not sufficient for a title in this genre. I'm maybe misinterpreting what the game's truly all about, but I thought this after the first few hours, after 10 hours, after 15 hours. It would be a waste of time continuing to play something that I don't enjoy, but this is not to say the game is rubbish. I just cannot see by its flaws giving their importance to me, and wish everyone playing it the best of experiences. The Witcher 3 is just not for me.    … Expand

    The game had an amazing atmosphere, great graphics, unique quests and I loved the card game named Gwent! As an action RPG this game does almost everything right!

    But there are some minor flaws. The combat could be better. If I compare it to other RPG’s then this game does a great job. But compared to other actions games it’s a little bit lackluster. Tough I still enjoyed it and it was a massive improvement over the last two games. But it could have been a little bit better compared to how good the rest of the game was.

    Other than that I did not like the fact that every point of interest is marked on your map. It removes some of the explorations aspect of the game. And there are some other mechanics in the game that could have had a better polish. But those flaws are minor and I had an overall great time playing the game!

    This game is not only a good RPG… it’s an outstanding RPG! This game raised the bar of what a good RPG is and many games that will be released in the future will feel boring compared to the greatness of this game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I want to start by saying that I liked the game and I recommend it. However the game is overrated. First the main plot has no urgency, at one point in Valen I had no idea what the main plot was, the bad guys are all dark and stuff but they never seem actually threatening. Interest points are mostly useless as well as most treasures and even weapons you get as rewards, game mechanics for tracking get boring after you use them 100 times, some quests have been written poorly by someone who does not appear to have read a book in his/her life - mostly are ok though, skillege as an area was particularly lacking in story quality and was a pain to complete but not do to difficulty cause the game even on the hardest difficulty is incredibly easy and boss fight mechanics lack luster. I would give it 7/10
    However if you play the expansions the game is totally different, it looks like a totally different team has written the quests, more mature and richer, boss fights with actual mechanic and difficulty, moral choices that made me go back and do them differently because the more I thought about them the more it made me think about what I perceive as good or bad. The expansion itself is as close to 10/10 it can be.
    Do to the expansions I would say the game is maybe 8/10.    … Expand

Es besticht durch enorm hohe Questqualität sowie erzählerische Klasse inklusive direkter sowie erst später wirksamer Konsequenzen, die einen immer wieder überraschen oder entsetzen. Ja, es gibt Kontrapunkte: Dass es auf Diebstahl in den Häusern der Leute keinerlei Reaktion gibt, ist für mich sogar noch ärgerlicher als die dämliche Statik menschlicher Feinde bei Beschuss. Das Menüdesign ist fade, die Schrift zu klein, die Dialoge nicht besonders verschachtelt, das Inventar schnell überfüllt und es gibt kleine technische Macken. Aber da ist die ausgezeichnete deutsche Sprachausgabe, das klasse Drehbuch, dem eben nicht wie in The Witcher 2 gegen Ende die Luft ausgeht. Es gelingt den Polen nicht nur sehr gut, eine mittelalterliche Fantasywelt zu zeigen, die von militärischen und sozialen Konflikten geprägt ist und voller moralischer Widersprüche steckt. Hinzu kommt diese fast schon verblüffende Hingabe in der Inszenierung dörflicher Milieus sowie der großen Stadt Novigrad. Es macht einfach Spaß, nur ganz langsam durch diese Welt zu spazieren. Wenn man davon genug hat, stürzt man sich in die nächste dramatische Quest, in der man über das Schicksal tragischer Gestalten entscheidet, oder man jagt in Traumkulisse mythische Ungetüme.

    Unpopular opinion, but I found The Witcher 3 to be incredibly average. Disclaimer: I tried playing Witcher 2 a few years back, but it was too difficult and complex for me.

    First off, Witcher 3 is much better and more accessible than 2, where the creation of potions, crafting, and use of traps is only required on higher difficulties. Now, the combat to me is still pretty boring: mostly    Unpopular opinion, but I found The Witcher 3 to be incredibly average.

    First off, Witcher 3 is much better and more accessible than 2, where the creation of potions, crafting, and use of traps is only required on higher difficulties. Now, the combat to me is still pretty boring: mostly hack n slash, roll, and use some spells, but it is slow paced and clunky compared to other current action-RPGs. There are many exciting boss battles and combat sequences, but most of the combat is clunky and repetitive.

    That being said, the amount of content, open world, graphics and story of Witcher 3 are outstanding. There is so, so much to do, the story is engrossing with many choices that actually matter and impact the story, and I had the most fun exploring the open world. The side quests are also all meaningful, with unique scenarios and actually fleshed out characters (instead of fetch quests with carbon copy NPCs like almost every other action RPG). The story and exploration of the beautiful open world kept me going through the game, even if the combat was mostly boring for me.

    Overall, I would say the Witcher 3 is worth playing for fans of action-RPGs, and those looking for a good story in a game. However, if you are not a fan of the genre, this game won't sway you.    … Expand

    Who is this game for: people who like quality story, with excellent twists. People who like upgrading and generally taking care about their character.
    Who should avoid this game: people who don't like story based games, because you can't skip dialogues, only one line of the speech.

    Just gave witcher 3 on another chance.

    finished heart of stone but forced myself. It's wasn't awesome. Out of the 10 hours, I maybe enjoyed 90 minutes in total. The begining was really exciting and I liked how you unexpectedly get captured after killing the frog prince in the sewers and are sent to be executed by a cult who think that you killed their messiah. That was the coolest plot.    Just gave witcher 3 on another chance.

That was the coolest plot. Unfortunately, that's all there was that was.

    The main game: Wild Hunt had nothing interesting except the plot with the King and his wife which I am not going into detail but that too only lasted 2 hours. I played aprox 18 hours after that and it was incredibly boring repetitive: just chase after a girl named ciri from town to town and do mindless fetch quests after fetch quests with some really boring cutscenes which I considered FILLER material. The main story was dragging with nothing really substantial to keep me interested.
    Now that was the "best" part of my review...

    The open world design is incredibly well done and spectacular to look at. But exploring it was ruined due to retarded character control design. I really cannot fathom how retarded the people at CD project red must've been to think that it's okay for character movements to be buggy like this. To this effect, the camera movement and character controls ruined the experience for me. The quests were not fun as others made them out.... it was the same repetitive stuff as any other mmo just with cutscenes in between. I think what makes the game feel incredible is just the beautiful graphics and design of the open world. Unfortunately, exploring it sucked due to the fact that the viewing angle on the character didn't feel immersive for my taste and the moving geralt was annoying. The character makes unecessary movements, awful horse collision detection etc. Most buildings are not explorable and when you do go inside one, it's a PAIN IN THE ASS to explore them because the camera + character movements are horribly done(incredibly frustrating and tiring to move around). Also, there were far too many uncessary loot items everywhere it got confusing but what made it worse was...the inventory management and menu which was really tiring to oversee. Each time I had to look at the map or find an item, it was a lengthy process of reloading the menu, flipping through tabs(input lag on each one).

    It's far from the game everyone made it out to be.    … Expand

    Witcher 3 combines the very best mechanics from games like RDR, GTA and Mount & Blade to create the ultimate immersive gaming experience. The storytelling is brilliant and the content of main missions + side quests and collectables is massive. You can build you character skillset as you like, craft pretty much anything and explore pretty much anywhere. There’s many, many hours of fun packed into this open-world stunner.

    One of my favourite moments of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is when you fight monsters so tough that you really need to study them closely (in the bestiary) to out play them. It’s both so frustrating bot so rewarding when you finally conquer evil. Witcher 3 has found the perfect balance of really providing a very fun and addictive game together with being a true challenge that forces you to get deep into the game mechanics. As it’s supposed to be!

    You can create potions, oils and bombs to help you in battle. What didn’t work in RDR in relation to collecting a lot of stuff with nothing to use it for, works really well here. You can feel that CD Project Red has really thought everything very much through and made no shortcuts.

    I get amazed every time I play this game by the massiveness of it, by the game mechanics, by the well told storyline and by the beautiful sights around the diverse landscapes. I’ve taken SO MANY screenshots of beautiful mountain, city or ocean scenery etc. I love this game!

    Last but not least, when you buy the game in a box, CD Project Red gives both stickers and a letter of thanksgiving for buying their game. From start to finish you feel the love and effort this team has put into this beauty of a video game. One of the best ever made.

    Buy this and support these guys! You will not regret it!    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece that seriously rivals any RPG I have ever played. A fascinatingly detailed world means exploration is actually interesting, and the story is well written and features some excellent voice acting. The controls take a little while to get used to, but it is well worth the grind. Undoubtedly the best game of 2015.

    Rating a game with a 10 is no easy deed, given that nothing is perfect - ever. This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3. What makes this game a 10 is everything else: a more engaging story than anything sinceRating a game with a 10 is no easy deed, given that nothing is perfect - ever. This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3. What makes this game a 10 is everything else: a more engaging story than anything since Baldur's Game 3 is the strongest point. Although we live in a time where traditional turn-based RPGs are very few and not as exciting, this game managed something that, to me, seemed impossible: making an RPG game that can stand up to the unique experience of the RPG games of old.
    Merely by means of its storytelling, this is a game that everyone that does not absolutely despise fantasy, should play.
    Furthermore, this game is exceptionally good in all its other aspects. A vast, real, alive world, with incredible production vlaues that can only compared to those of the GTA series, only this is better. Excellent graphics that will make you doubt where all these millions spent by Bethesda for games like Fallout end up being spent, user friendy gameplay (for all levels and difficutlies), and written dialogue of the highest literary quality.
    I cannot but recommend this game for its achievements, which have apparently made it the winner of hundreds of awards, and I strongly believe that any person who respects gaming should try it.
    For RPG fans, I have one final comment: this may actually be better than Baldur's Gate II...!
    I have not decided whether it is. but i never thought that contemplating this thought would even be possible, what with all the "open world" sandbox RPGs they sell these days, which focus on graphics, graphics and forget to tell a story.

The fact that the game was constantly dipping into the 20 FPS range was not good and made a mediocre game even worse. Let's see, the universe is all right. The story is absolutely dog **** and confusing but if you ignore it and look around at the universe then that's the enjoyable part. The story is just so bland there's no point in praising it.

I have always been a fan of rpgs, i felt in love with games like skyrim and fallout, the freedom and the sense of building your own character and create your storyWow....what a ride it has been!!! After i spent around 110 hours in this masterpiece i was finally able to beat the game! I know that i was a bit too late to play this game (almost 2 years) but i was finally able to play it! I have always been a fan of rpgs, i felt in love with games like skyrim and fallout, the freedom and the sense of building your own character and create your story were the highlights in those games, but since the witcher is a rpg were you roleplay as Geralt and not a character that you create i was always with a step back on buying it, but now i have 0 regrets!

    Now lets talk about what made me love this game. First of all its characters, never in my life i have been so emotionally connected to fictional characters in video games! I actually cared for Ciri, Geralt, and the fate of his friends! Actually it is the first time in a video game that made me cry, i have never tought that this game was so emotional, especially after you find ciri!The protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, is a wonderful character, i really enjoyed his personality! The world is gorgeous, and huge! The side quests are very interesting and not fetch quests like major open world games, it is not like "go to point A and kill those monsters", the quests are very more complex than that and the decisions you make (that are hard as **** there is no good and evil) have a huge impact in the world! The soundtrack is outstanding, since skyrim that i have not played a game with such a gorgeous soundtrack!The combat system is simple but effective i always loved to rely on my signs like quen and aard! The armors are very well designed!
    And now i will talk about some other matters that i didn't apreaciate in this game (that are very few) but enought to not give a 10 to this game. First of all the skill tree, i didn't really liked, i think that we were very limited to just have 4 skills trees, the combat, the signs (my favourite), the alchemy (i didn't apreciated it though :/ ) and general, if we compare it to skyrim this is very limited, but i somewhat understand it since here we play as geralt, a witcher, not some mage, thief, assassin etc. And the other factor is that it wasn't very natural to me to been doing the side quests and play gwent since we were on a desesperate mission trying to find Ciri, so it means besides the importance of Geralt task to find Ciri he always had some free time to collect some cards or do some monster contracts. xD

    In the end it was such an amazing experience, after i beat the game i felt such an emptiness inside because i was really going to miss Geralt adventures and his pals Dandelion and Zoltan, i think that i will starT reading the books to envolve even more in this lore! One of the best Rpgs that i have ever played, in pair with Skyrim ( diferent games but both amazing!), congrats to CdProjeck Red for making such a masterpiece! Next station: Cyberpunk 2077 :)    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 is simply an amazing game. It's as near to a perfect game as I've ever played the only flaw is that the combat can get somewhat repetitive but that is an extremely minor flaw as the many different missions and sub-stories keep it from getting as repetitive as Skyrim (also a great game but it suffers more from the repetitive flaw).

    Battle System: 8.5/10: It's a lot of fun    The Witcher 3 is simply an amazing game.

    Battle System: 8.5/10: It's a lot of fun and you feel like you've got solid control over your character. It can be a little button-mashy at times but for the most part not in a negative way. A very solid 3rd person battle system.

    Graphics/World Design: 10/10. The world is beautiful and there are many rich regions to explore each complete with their own lore. The main story is great but the secondary tales that flesh out each region are so good you sometimes forget to continue on with the main story. Truly The Witcher 3 manages to craft a world that you want to dive head first into. The graphics are also quite good. Everything you'd expect from a PS4 game.

    Soundtrack: 9.5/10. Honestly my only complaint about the soundtrack is that we don't hear the music more often. The music is good and fits the game nothing is overly epic for the battle you are having and it works to draw you more into the game.

    Story: 10/10. The story and the sub-stories are great. In fact the open world sub-stores are so good that they can end up distracting you from the main story! Despite this each subplot feels like it has purpose and your decisions in how you approach these can effect the overall story. Also the ability to play both as Gareth and Ciri adds an extra touch of greatness to the story.

    Side Quests/Bonus Material: 9.5/10 It's great as I've said already. The extra stories are awesome. The witcher contracts get a little repetitive but they all have individual stories so it is bearable and you still feel accomplished completing each one.

    Misc: Pretty much all covered above. All else I can mention is the crafting system which is easy to use and very useful and I would give it a 9.5/10 as well.

    Summery: The only bad thing about The Witcher 3 is that I didn't play it earlier. It truly is a great game and does the open world right without sacrificing story. There are few things I feel it could have done better.

    Overall score: 10/10    … Expand

    The Good: The game is enormous, the world full of little details, tons and tons of quests,npc's.
    landmarks, big cities (similar to Assassins creed...expect the world isn't empty like those crap games
    I bet you can take all 21 Assassins creed games together, and it still won't have as much content as The Witcher 3.
    You can easily spent hundreds of hours in this game especially on higher difficulties (and there is New Game +)
    The story and characters are done really well, every quest has in-game cinematic's and are fully voiced....it makes make you feel more emerged in the world and more connected to the characters.
    The graphic are amazing, it's the closest things to a believable living breathing world.
    And i don't know any game that has surpassed this game graphical wise (maybe Horizon zero dawn?)

    The Bad: Well not necessarily bad but i think the combat could have been done allot better, it can feel akward and buggy at times...it's a bit similar to assassins creed and Batman combat.
    But it does feel satisfying to chop off heads and limbs in slowmotion.

    Bugs! Well most of the game breaking bugs have been fixed by know...but like all open-world games it's never gonna be bug free! so expect to see some weird things from time to time.

    Verdict: Really worth picking up, don't hesitate.

    PS: If the game gets too easy at some point you can allow low level mobs to auto-scale with your level, so now every fight takes longer than 5 seconds....you can toggle this on in the options menu (took a while before i found out)    … Expand

    When the game works with me, it works. It feels nice, looks nice, and is something that I could play for a very long time.

    However, I am then shat on by the game's movement system and weird combat issues I have. My issues concern the difficulty and mechanical problems that I have.

    The movement has been annoying so many times that I've learned to just accept it and move on. So for me, this makes the game feel not very fun with the amount of traveling you do. I abhor the swimming and underwater sections. Your horse seems to just perform a full stop over a small rock, or a sharp turn on trees, or fences whose actual space in the world affects the riding mechanic.

    I've played on Death March. So many people advertise this as the correct way to the play the game. For me, it ended up being a sponge-fest of prepping for the battles when there were a lot of enemies (spam them with bombs), or a big boss fight whose A.I I haven't triggered yet (alchemy and signs). It all blended into Quen, using the same potions and oils. Wait for my moment and attack when necessary. It was good the first hour, it then became repetitive and routine.

    The story and characters were what made it all worthwhile in the end. That is essentially the only good thing about this game for me.

    It's a solid story on top of a base that is ready to crumble and crack based on my experiences. So for me, the game is above average. That is because of what you will be spending most of your time doing, which is exploring and doing quests.    … Expand

    The inventory system was the only negative. This was a real throwback to a bad time in inventory and shop management. It would be better to leave all the rusty swords on the ground and let the protagonist focus on the story. It's a small to pay, though, for such a gorgeous game.

    However, this game was BAD. Like, legitimately terrible. It seems like for how much graphic polish they gave the game, the rest of the game was an afterthought. The main "story" is a pitiful excuse, you just go and chase after a random character you're given no reason to care about, playing as a character you feel like you have no control over. There is so little choice, and the dialogue choices you do get are vague and often opposite to what I expected. At one point, I was trying to peacefully settle a conflict, and when asked where I was going, I chose, "none of your business," and then Mr. Generic RPG Man decided that meant **** off and die."

    Which leads to the combat. It is the actual worst RPG combat I've ever seen. Mash square, sometimes press trigger to take less damage while mashing square. The entire combat system is designed around one-on-one fights, with parries and rolls, which you can never use because every encounter is with 3+ enemies swarming you, blocking your movement.

    The map is boring, bland, and large for no good reason. The game does exactly what Assasin's Creed and its ilk do, by scattering meaningless side objectives and **** fetch quests across a map that was five times larger than it needed to be so they could advertise its "expansive open world." The side quests always boil down to "get a thing" or "kill a thing and get its thing," and while their stories are supposed to be interesting, they aren't.

    Moving around the map itself is sluggish and boring. You can move as slow as molasses on foot, making navigating the once again too large towns and cities a chore, or call your magic teleporting horse to move around slightly faster, with a tiny stamina bar of actually going a satisfying speed. I like the idea of your horse following paths automatically, but every path is a weird branching system of unnecessary ways to go, which of course your horse always chooses.

    Then, comes Gwent. I hate Gwent. I HATE Gwent. It is the actual worst game-inside-a-game I've seen since Caravan in Fallout: New Vegas. The rules are cryptic and stupid, and the game forces you to play it on multiple occasions, scattering dumb cards across the map. Many times I'd do a side quest, to get a glorified Yugioh card as my prize. How did people like Gwent enough to actually warrant a standalone game of it?

    In summary, The Witcher 3 is an overhyped, overly large, overrated, bloated, boring, repetitive mess of a game. Use it as a PC benchmark, or pick up the complete edition for 75% off like I did.    … Expand

    So I gave this festering heap of nerd dookie a shot.
    Played it for I don't know, 5, 10, 12 hours? I couldn't even keep track of the time because I kept nodding off.
    I don't understand what they want from me in this game. I really don't.
    Why I should invest my time figuring out if I could brew some kind of... potion or lotion or ointment or oil or whatnot out of some mushrooms and flowers and slain monster entrails that I picked up a thousandfold along the way, stumbling through this fantasy wonderland that's supposed to be "open world", only I can't do a thing that I would really do in the real open world.

    I'm an adult with a real job and with real stuff I have to know, review, and study from scratch to stay on top of things, why the everloving **** would I want to spend my time studying and perfecting this completely made up nonsense? Like.. uh.. you have to combine the haunted seed of barleyflower, which blossoms in the fertile soils of the ancient lands of mongo, which are under the evil reign of Balthasar Mourningwood, with the blessed dust of fookstone, which thou can buy at ye olde farmers market in dwarf springs? Are you out of your mind? What is this and why is this considered entertainment?

    This game is a 10/10 if you yourself are a 10/10 roleplaying supernerd. If you're a halfway normal person, you won't know what hit you. For its niche genre, it might be a really good game.

    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.

    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]

    This truly outstanding game raises the bar to new heights that will be extremely hard to reach for BioWare, Bethesda and any other developer. [07/2015, p.38]

    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.
