But the beauty of the game, the amazing story, the vastness of the landscape and the absolute fun of playing far outstrip these minor issues. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

    Wow.I can't say how much I enjoyed this game. The huge world, the great stories, the overall design is just impressive. I don't even thing it makes sense writing this review, because by now you should have already seen that this is one of the best games ever (yes!) made. Go get it!!

    If you like action RPGs at all, this is just about the best game you could hope for. Great story, graphics, music, characters, blood and gore, violence, profanity, gratuitous nudity, sex, humor, the whole 9 yards. There are however, some minor deficiencies to note.

Great story, graphics, music, characters, blood and gore, violence, profanity, gratuitous nudity, sex, humor, the whole 9 yards. There are however, some minor deficiencies to note.

    First, the game is LOADED with boring sub-plots and cut scenes. It’s okay though because you can skim the subtitles and skip through the cut scenes fairly easily without much risk of missing critical information. So I guess that gives players the flexibility to pay as much or as little attention to the plots as they want.

    Second, the world seems to be divided into several areas for purposes of loading into RAM. But often you have to jump back and forth between these areas, and it gets annoying repeatedly having to view the same comic-book-like cut screen and monologue while an area loads.

    Finally, most of the skills are worthless relative to other skills. If you experiment with all the skills, it becomes pretty obvious what the “best” skills are to improve. So, if you re-allocate your points (which is possible using a potion) to the best skills, you become virtually invincible. At that point, you’re just playing through the story without any realistic challenge.

    Overall 10/10. Just get it.    … Expand

    An Outstanding Game. The Witcher 3 has a story with meaningful characters and an interesting plot that puts you on one hell of a ride to find your friends as well as Ciri in a brutal but gorgeous open world. All of this is complemented with an abundance of side quests and fluid game play that will keep you hooked for a very long time.

There are have been some cool moments, like the slaying of the griffin in the beginning, and the flying creatures in general get me pumping a little, but by and large I find myself grinding through the game feeling rather disinterested. The world feels empty and meaningless as I pick up hundreds of items I can barely read on the screen. The story bores me and I just don't care. The Last of Us made me care. GTA 5 made me care. And those were PS3 titles! Why the Witcher 3 is the third highest rated game on Metacritic I don't understand. Perhaps someone could explain this to me? Honestly though PS4 games have been a bit of a let down to date. Here's hoping for better, more soulful releases in the near future. Thanks.… Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

Whilst the combat lacks the depth of some rpgs it is still enjoyable, particularly fights against powerful beasts which demand that the player use appropriate strategies, spells and tonics to win the battle.

    Now, the only reason I have waited on buying this game for so long was that I thought I could not understand the story, and I was wrong again! The story is wonderfully explained and pulls you in (and you have the sudden desire to become a witcher and even start trying out the Signs [or spells] in private to see if they can work!)

    The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 was because I am not a big fan of the weapon degradation system, and I feel that adding the option to disable it would be brilliant. (This is not that annoying though, and doesn't take away from the game too much)

    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.    … Expand

Everything is interactive, and it all looks so beautiful.

    The storyline is simple, yet it definitely gets your attention. I geniually care about Geralt and Ciri and most of the other supporting characters. I thought Tess and Zoltan were both great.

    The controls take a while to get a hold of but that's a good thing. I don't want to just smash the x-button the entire time I play a game. The witcher, and the many different villains that you fight require you to constantly change up your strategy in combat. I like that. Makes it interesting. Keeps it from getting stale.

    i love the different types of quests in the game. Some of the Witcher contracts have a nice sense of horror to them. Then there are some (the threesome quest) that have some funny moments to them.

    Gwent is one of the best in-game games I've ever experienced. You can literally just play that game for hundreds of hours.

    If you are a gamer, I would definitely suggest to play this on the hardest level. I played on normal and it was too easy so i went back and put the difficulty alll of the way up, and it was a much more challenging experience but made me feel much more satisfied.

    lastly, without giving too much away, Ciri is one of my favorite characters of all-time. Like Ellie from the Last of Us, I truly started to get emotionally attached to Ciri. I wanted her to be happy and I'm glad that I got the Witcher ending. I would have felt really empty had I thought Ciri died. I would be willing to play the entire game as Ciri btw, who is very fun to use in combat.

    This was the best game of the year. A true masterpiece. I really need a Witcher 4 in my life    … Expand

However The witcher is the only game so far that I will never ever get rid of. I actually have not completed the game. I stopped playing it on purpose because I decided that I would wait until the final dlc and until I had read all the books. Yes!!! I love this game so much that I have been reading the books to familiarise myself with the lore a lot better. I had never played the first game and I never got into the second one, but the wild hunt hooked into me deeply. It is not a game. It's another world, alive and full of thoughts and emotions that just suck you in. It has raised the standards for rpg games so high that I don't think it will ever be matched. This game was made with pure love from cdprojeckt which I think is the secret of its success. If you haven't bought it yet, then slap yourself for being a fool and buy your copy now.… Expand

    The Witcher 3 was one of the most anticipated games of the year and it delivered well past expectations.

    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.    … Expand

    One of PS4's best game for sure I throughly enjoyed it the combat was super especially the controls, Story and graphics. Great conclusions and boss fights for the finale's geralt of riva story. Must buy for PS4 owners and the expansions pass was worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awesome, but not perfect.
    I wanted so badly give a 10 for this one. But I just simply can't. Let's see why.
    The game does so many things right, like many have said it before me. It' great.
    I love the setting, combat is awesome and the difficulty is just right (death march). If you prepare and know what you are doing, it is almost easy. If you do not take combat seriously, do not use potions / oils / decotions, forget to dodge or parry, you die in seconds. I love the combat.
    The story is very good, the quests are awesome, none of them are the same, the witcher contracts maybe a little repetitive, but not so much and I enjoyed all and every one of them.
    And the little things where imho W3 is shining the most. For example: slayed enemies loot is on the map, lootable containers are highlighted, route to the next objective on the map, books, tons of background info, living cities, dudes go even to sleep and **** Awesome.
    I love, that my actions have consequences. I love, that some quests have no good endings, just worse or even worse.
    But the best part is in my opinion, ***** SPOILER ALERT! ***** how you help Ciri grow as a person (if you do it right) and in the end, how it saves her life. Priceless. SPOILER OVER.
    But there are some things, I can not accept, even some things I hate. What are those? Let's see.
    1. Gwent. I hate it. Simple is that. Right now i am in my second run, death march. I am the kind of guy, who loves get all of the trophies / achievements of a game, IF the game is good / awesome. This one is. Then why the F must i play gwent?!?! I signed up for an adventure, not virtual poker crappy.
    2. Missable trophies / achievements. Come on, guys! Not cool.
    3. Geralt Glassbones. Enough said.
    4. ****ty camera. Died many times, because in the heat of the combat, the camera showed the wall, or the treetops. Really frequently happens indoors. In death march you are 3-4 hits. And ... You are gone. Then you can "enjoy" the ~90 sec loading time.
    5. Loading time. Just too much.
    6. F*ing Finneas on death march. Amateur, disappointing game balance problem. Harder than a griffin, harder than cyclops or a forktail, well anything I encountered so far. Come on! Just WHY ?!? Make no mistake, I going to beat him, just makes a 1000 pound monster a joke. Or 10 bandit. Or a smaller army.
    OR, dear developers, You could have name him Chuck Norris, this way it is completely understandable, why he is harder, than a f*ing dragon.

    As You could have guessed, my dear reader, right now I am at Mr. Overpowered Finneas. If I give in to my anger, this would be a big fat 0. Or -10. But this game is really awesome, especially the Ciri parts, and her growth, but this is not a perfect game. Awesome one, with flaws. Without the whole gwent **** I would have gave it a 9. Right now this is 8. For me. Still, go and buy it, because Witcher 3 is still better than almost all other games nowadays. Cheers.

    This game is okay. There, I said it. Fight me on the side of the street, fanboys.
    My main grudge with the game is just how uninteresting the characters were. Geralt is this "edgy" guy, with a voice actor who strains his voice so hard to sound tough that he can't even raise his voice. Yennefer really isn't that attractive, and reminds me of the emos at high school (Triss is pretty hot,    This game is okay. There, I said it. Fight me on the side of the street, fanboys.

Vesemir tries to pull off the "old wise guy" character, but he ends up just being a creep.
    The open world is pretty interesting, though. And the game itself looks stunning. The combat system is pretty rusty. There's really no point having the dodge mechanic when you can just spam the attack button and get things done quicker. The story is pretty interesting, but I really wanted to get involved in the Nilfgaard vs Redania war.

É o tipo de jogo que vai fazer voce ficar curioso para o próximo passo. Você se identifica com o personagem e todos ao seu redor. As ações possuem consequências que podem ser devastadoras, sempre com prós e contras. Sem dúvidas um jogo para ser apreciado, ter calma e paciência, dialogar com os personagem, explorar o imenso mundo aberto e caçar muitas recompensas como caçador de bruxas. Claro, o jogo não é perfeito, possuem algumas falhas que poderiam ser previstas, como por exemplo as arvores de talentos, que há muitas habilidades pouco ou nada exploráveis. As missões para caça às bruxas também podem ser repetitivas, mas no geral são muito bem feitas. Os itens como armaduras e poções não tem tanto valo de uso. Você basicamente utilizará mais as que curam, deixando uma grande quantidade de opções de lado (no geral a alquimia é pouco explorada no game, ou diria que pouco chamativa ao jogador). Usar seu sentido de bruxo é o ponto forte do game, além de suas habilidades elementais, como o fogo e o domínio mental do inimigo! As quests secundárias são outro ponto forte, na minha opinião, é onde voce verá o lado sombrio, por muitas vezes, do game. Nelas, voce poderá decidir o destino desses personagens e em todos ao seu redor. Na boa, esse jogo é espetacular. Se voce curte elementos de rpg com uma história incrível, diálogos, decisões que te levam a diversas trajetórias e elementos de combate para cortar o inimigo ao meio, COMPRE ESSE JOGO AGORA!    … Expand

    The pinnacle of AAA titles in 2015.

    I got this game back around whenever it was released and could never really get into it. I put it on the back burner for a few months, and tried again. Once again, couldn't get into it. I then got consumed into Fallout 4 for a bit but got quickly bored of it.

    I got this game back around whenever it was released and could never really get into it. I put it on the back burner for a few months, and tried again. Once again, couldn't get into it. I then got consumed into Fallout 4 for a bit but got quickly bored of it. This weekend, after being disgusted with the amount of critical acclaim the Witcher achieved over Fallout 4, I decided to do intense research and practice with the game and I will say it is incredible. Better than Fallout 4 in nearly every aspect.

    Writing: Honestly one of the best quests I have ever played. The writing is fantastic, the quests are fun, emotional, and somtimes, funny. The characters are also quite good. I love the personalities in particular of Geralt and the Baron.

    Graphical: The graphics are nice. Water is very well done. The lighting and environment is very nice. Nothing unique per se, just realistic medieval and wilderness graphics. The monsters and armors are very creative; some look cool as **** (Wild Hunt Armor), and some look downright disgusting (Rotfiends, Botchlings).

    Technical: The game runs at 1080p, 30 FPS on the PS4, typical with many console games. The combat is decent, the only really bad thing I have to say, but it is still quite good. It requires strategy rather than hacking the **** out of someone as say the Elder Scrolls. Movement can be a bit sticky too, I've accidentally fallen off of ledges quite a bit.

    Overall: So damn good. You will probably love it if you're patient and willing to learn in the game and outside of the game (YouTube, Reddit).    … Expand

    É um excelente jogo. Toda a relação da Ciri com o Geralt construída apenas com detalhes em diálogos feitos com outros personagens (Triss, Yennefer, Zoltan...) é magistral, principalmente levando em consideração o fato de que só passamos cerca de 30% do jogo com ela, e quando a encontramos, já estamos completamente simpatizados com ela. Poucos RPGs são tão ricos e bonitos hoje.

The Witcher 3 has become an example of what open world RPG's should be like. There isn't one section of land in this game which feels like it's been copied and pasted from somewhere else, or rushed together. The buildings, towns and cities have been built into the landscape, but gives you the feel of being transported into another world, which strangley feels real (even though you're fighting Griffins and casting magical signs!). I loved every second of The Witcher 3 and even though I was sad to come to the end of the main story, I quickly realised I still had much more to do. The only small negative I have is that I felt like I was leveling too quickly towards the end of the game, which made me feel a bit over powed, even though I was at the recommended level for that particular quest and I also felt that the inventory screen could've been better thought out (even after the patch which changed this screen).

    There are many noticeable fps drops and collision glitches, which is an effect to complex geometry and big world.

It took me awhile to get used to the multiple menu trees and seeing the slow, progressive results in combat effectiveness after slowly building skills abilities within these trees. On the graphical fidelity/performance front, frames-per-second on PS4 is a little sludgy, but I've gotten used to this in the context of the AC series and overall, if the sense of immersion/detailed "world" is there, I am willing to overlook limited performance (but that's to a point, I'll say. For instance, right now I'm having trouble overlooking the awful graphics/performance of games such as Fallout 4, though the depth of detail of stuff to explore, find, craft, do is pretty amazing). I'd say the art designers did a superb job overall, though. So many little things shine to help with immersion, such as the changing weather, time of day and getting all the little sounds of the outdoors mixed in to enhance the experience. The sound and sight of wind moving through the trees is noticed and appreciated!

    As mentioned, in terms of gameplay itself, there was a learning curve that I had to trudge through, in the beginning very low levels, to get to the good stuff...to the sense of fun. In that respect, there was a degree of trust to access that all the glowing critic/user reviews were attesting to something there that I just needed to have the patience in order to dig to discover. Again, all secondary to my lack of experience with the overall slower pace associated with RPG's. Just now (and only about 12 hours into the game! so much more fun ahead :) ) the full appreciation of what the devs have done in creating W3 is emerging. A big part of that is the superb writing. The story and side stories themselves. They are strange, magical, and unique (at least to me) in a way that I find exciting. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but much of the "story telling" in gaming seems a little contrived/repetitive to me. W3 is an exception, in my perspective. The fantasy story is well written and helps to drive the experience forward from mission to mission. I literally have no idea what's coming next, but am beginning to expect to be pleasantly surprised and intrigued.

    So, all in all, a long-winded way of saying that W3 is capturing the heart of a primarily first person shooter fan. It is a great game and deserving of being in the upper tier of anyone's top 10 list.    … Expand

And this isn't just walls of text as you run from one NPC to the next, this is living, breathing dialogue that is delivered convincingly, as if it were a film. One thing is for certain about Witcher 3, and that is that one never questions the authenticity of the world.

    The story continues to show CDProjectRed's growth as storytellers, improving on Witcher 2's already impressive writing. While the ending was a bit underwhelming, the journey to get there was emotional and riveting from even the smallest of side-quests.

    CD Projekt Red are my favorite developer right now, for good reason. Not just for the quality work they've done with the Witcher series but also because of their business practices. They continued to support the game by releasing free DLC which included new armor sets, hair/facial hair options, outfits for other NPCs, weaponry, AND new quests. All that for free, in this day and age? It's wonderful. In addition, they are releasing 2 expansion packs. Actual expansion packs with new locations, characters, storylines, and so many more hours of content. They really lift my spirits when seemingly almost every other developer/publisher wants to just defecate out a game, and support it for a limited time with paid DLC.

    Cons:

    The only downside to this game that I see most people complain about is the combat. I can understand why, it is sort of basic. You're essentially limited to swords (although there are axes, their stats are almost always outclassed by Witcher swords) and the crossbows are more of a tool to stumble enemies/bring down flying enemies. But there are some other ways to make combat more interesting. Witcher signs (spells) that you can cast, and potions to collect and craft. All in all it was good enough for me.    … Expand

    I decided a time ago that i would stop playing digital RPG:s since i dont find them intriguing any more. I lose interest for the main quests and i find the lack of interesting characters extremely disturbing.

    Yet The Wither proves me wrong, here you have both an graphical and technical wonder but also an intriguing story that makes you want to look forward behind that next corner.

    Battle system, role-play system, controls is **** up. Poor static open world, you can only move between keypoints/story points, and get exp for same quests (go -> check -> kill) to open new story quests (to move between keypoints and so on). Game world not exist out of player actions, all NPC is just wooden dolls without intellect
    Good story, screenplay, graphics and design but gameplay    Battle system, role-play system, controls is **** up.

    What this game brings is a mature, sensitive and violent story.
    The main quest involves exchanging information with various individuals for information on Ciri's location, your adopted daughter. It may feel slightly padded out, but is gripping nonetheless. Where this game shines is in the side quests, which also involve Witcher contracts, where you gotta kill monsters for your paycheck. It almost brings a detective-like gameplay element, I quite like it. Every single side quest has obsessive attention to detail, and, in my opinion, are better than the main quest itself.
    The combat could use improvements. It may get repetitive at times, and the controls may sometimes get wonky, but it is still fun, with cool swordplay and magic. With each level tou gain, you can invest in certain skills to eventually unlock new and powerful moves.
    The open world is absolutely gorgeous and dense with stuff to do. There will be many moments where you'll turn off your HUD and take a screenshot. With the latest updates, the framerate is a very stable 30 fps.
    All in all, what makes Witcher 3 one of the best games of this generation, and my personal favourite RPG, is the story.
    This game WILL consume a lot of your time, around 50 hours for just the main story. And youre gonna love it.
    There will be some instances which require Witcher 1/2 knowledge, so I recommend reading the Compendium (included in the boxed game).

    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.
