    This game does not deserve a 9+. The game seems to have a lot of things to do, but when you take a step back the game is about rather than quality.

    - Quests are terrible. I wish they had been more creative.
    - Story is lacking. Feels very diluted and stretched thin.
    - Characters are not very likable.
    - Combat is clunky
    - Game is buggy, as expected of Bethesda

    This game is awful, controls are sloppy, combat is arduous, easily glitch exploited, and uninspiring. Leveling, and thus skill unlocks, are tied to main quests making the game droll and needlessly open world. Every vendor gets an often pointless cut scene. I can carry hundreds of reagents (needlessly) but only alcohol and meditation is necessary to craft after the initial production. Objects have weight, but there seems to be no purpose to it as a constraint at all.

    The game plays like an old "choose your own adventure" book, only with long uninspired, and awkward, walks through areas you are punished for exploring.

    There is extremely low experience for killing random world monsters (each kill within experience range will net you approximately 0.4% of a level which is worse than individual mob killing in WoW and each kill takes much longer) which removes a good deal of interest from exploring the "open world."

    This is combined with the oppressive finance system which actually punishes you for exploring and killing "the monster curse that still haunts the countryside."

    As an example of the terrible implementation of finance: a sword sells for less than a piece of bread costs, repair costs are imbalanced however you can always sell tons of needless herbs for a gold a piece (if you enjoy running circles around overly populated herbs that have to be in L.O.S. of the third person camera AND in front of your character to collect).

    Combat is a game of attrition, heavily dependent on holding down parry, rolling, and waiting for stamina cooldowns (could be more entertaining on face roll difficulties but I wouldn't know). There is no real "out of combat" engaging as ranged weapons do no damage of any import, enemies are obviously tethered and easily exploited for it, enemies typically attack in packs which throws out the counter mechanic most of the time, dodge is inferior to roll against packs and equally as useless as counter.

    There is no functionally new, clever combat in the game, but there is tons of rehashed combat concepts from other games that have been horribly reused here.

    The game is overly controlled to give purpose to poor implementation: missing reagents for recipes to prompt you forward, poor experience for not following the story, a poor economy to constrain your trade and attempt to limit your roaming due to the high cost/low reward of killing monsters despite easy (boring) exploits to circumnavigate it.

    The graphics aren't great for ps4, the game repeatedly failed to maintain a proper render before patching: either slowly degrading textures, or failing to display loot images, or parts of the HUD, and once dumping half of the polygons for the world littering black boxes in straight lines.

    Even after its 20+gig patch monsters often glitch below ground and pop back up, climbing over barriers rarely looks correct other than hopping fences, and additionally the text is unreasonably small and useless on my 40" tv 9 ft from my face....

    The story is choppy and terse due to the interactive implementation, not to mention forced and puerile. I'd honestly skip it if there was any other redeeming quality to the game, but there isn't.

    I could go on. There is no way I would have released this game as is, and there is little or no chance I would consider buying another title from this producer.

    I should have researched it more online, but after a year I was foolishly confident it was a solid bet given its high price point and visibility. I haven't been this disappointed since Dragon's Dogma, and I think it was even worse this go around.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring as **** It starts off really slow and when the world does open up you are stuck in an endless loop of fetch quests and some of the worst combat ever. The side quests which this game gets praised so much for are nothing special. They are all the same, requiring you to gather an item or kill some thing. I wonder why a game like Assassin's Creed 3 did not get praised as much as this even though it had meaningful, story-driven, well written side quests in 2012? Why didn't that game get similar critical acclaim? Its combat system and characters are also a million times better.

    Another big problem I have with this game is the Witcher Senses mechanic (another way to say "Detective Mode"). This is basically same as the detective mode you find in Arkham games. But unlike those games where that mode is meaningful and helps locate enemies when you are surrounded by dozens of them and do not want to get spotted, the Witcher 3's Witcher senses serve no purpose. They are mainly used in those 'murder mystery' solving like scenarios where you walk around with the mode and everything is highlighted. You go up to the highlighted item or location and click a button and you do the same until the trail ends. I get no satisfaction out of this type of gameplay. I'm not solving any mystery. I'm just pushing buttons at the place where the game wants me to. Basically, I'm letting the game play itself.

    Even its most highly praised quests are the same. You need to find Ciri, a girl who is like a daughter figure for Geralt so he just goes around asking for her and for a little piece of information they ask him to do a favour for him and this is where the bulk of the game's story is. You doing stuff for other people who tell you to go meet next person who may know where Ciri is and then you doing a favour for them, rinse and repeat. Yet this is being hailed as "great writing". If this is great writing and storytelling then I'm sorry but that only means that video games have an incredibly low standard when it comes to storytelling.

    This game does nothing that hasn't been done before. Its main quests are nothing more than the countless fetch quests you find in a game like Skyrim.    … Expand

What I found was a sluggish combat system. An experience system that only rewards repetitively questing and hunting monsters was a colossal waste of time. 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

First off, this game isn't very good at, you know, being a game. The combat is abysmal, their pitiful attempt at adding any modicum of depth was adding oils to the blade that are useful in certain scenarios to make it appear as if you aren't playing a game who's combat is half a step away from being as shallow as something like Kingdom Hearts. Who cares if the world is expansive or the story is fine if the game play itself is abysmal; it's like having an oven that doesn't heat anything up. Next time someone says something to the effect of, "I'm not a normal gamer that likes Call of Duty or FIFA, I like real games like The Witcher", remember the teenage girl scenario mentioned in the first sentence, and just have a chuckle.… Expand

    I was really excited when I first got the physical copy of the game. It was well packaged and I could feel it, "This is going to be one of the best games I will play!". After playing games for decades I usually have this "hunch" whether I would like this game or not by seeing the cover of the game.

It was well packaged and I could feel it, "This is going to be one of the best games I will play!". After playing games for decades I usually have this "hunch" whether I would like this game or not by seeing the cover of the game.

    I was mind blown the first few hours! The feeling was unique! I played many open world RPG and this is the first time I have seen the Story so well-developed! Not only that, the side quest itself is NOT a "copy paste of go here, fetch that, return here" type of lazy settings, it was well written and every interactions you had with this side quest, somehow affected the main story.
    Geralt the main character is also very unique and I could see this character serialized for a movie (it did).
    The world, the atmosphere was supportive enough to get you immersed in it. I was sure I would play this game for long time.

    So i thought. The "Magic" starts disappearing after the first 3 hours, then I was completely snapped out of Witcher's Charm after putting 5 hours. In total I have played about 12 hours and reached Novigrad halfway.
    What happened?

    I was overhyped. The story was well written, settings was well set. But that's it.
    Combat was just okay to get you going from one story to another story, it is clunky and boring tbh.
    Customization is quite limited. Outside of the main story, the environment feels very dead, you do not get many surprise element; although side quest is very engaging I'd still insist.

    Having skipped 1 and 2, i began to feel less and less connected as i progess further to the main character as more new terms and jargons been throwed in the main story.
    Combat became really boring after you figure out how to dodge enemies.
    Magic and Alchemy feels less impactful, its like just using an item from a paused-enabled menu.

    I can't explain very well, but overall I feel like this game may be rushed for some reasons.
    The pre-planning concept was well done; however execution of the development was all over the place.

    In conclusion, don't get me wrong, I think this game DESERVES a well-praised!
    The developer has put enough effort , time and expertise in creating such an amazing series!
    But the media has been over-hyping this in a sense it is like a bubble.
    I think this game is great but definitely not 9 / 10.
    A Fair judgment would be between 7 to 8 out of 10.

    To normalize this overhyped / overbubbled high ratings, please forgive me of giving this rating a zero because while I acknowledge the game's greatness, I want to be fair to all other gamers out there whom may have a spoiled experience because of the expectations of "9/10", "GOTY!", "Masterpiece" type of reviews being distributed all over the internet.

    You would be able to enjoy this game more with lower expectations. Do not fall into the same trap like me.    … Expand

    One of the best games of the last 10 years. It is truly a masterpiece with its story, gameplay and fluidity. It also deserves a round of applause for its music and vocalizations. Sometimes, although I encountered minor shader bugs in the game, they were bugs that did not interrupt my game enjoyment.

    Good game. Too bad Geralt movements are so bad. He feels so slow and heavy, like he ate a million burger and everytime he turn left or right, its like he is trying the 45 degrees bending of Michael Jackson. Absolute garbage. If only he moved quick and natural like in Elden ring then Witcher 3 would be a 9/10 easy.

    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.
