You could argue the graphics took a hit when looking at compressed YT clips or still images but once you play this game on PS4 in the convenience of your home on big-ass TV you will quickly delve headfirst into this immersive world and forget about the whole 'downgrade nonesense'. It's the most beautiful open world to date with rock solid gameplay and excellent performance ( day 1 patch is a must for frame-rate dips issues, but after that installed you're good to go).
    If you consider Polish studio with only 200 strong staff and half the budget of EA, Ubisoft are pumping into the same crap year after year, you will quickly realize how exceptional in all aspects Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is.
    I could go on and praise this game all day long but I have quests to do, and then some.

    If you are a fan of Red Dead and Skyrim you'll love this. It just came out but I put about six hours into it and I love nearly everything about it. There are some problems like bugs and glitches but they're not that apparent and are bound to be fixed soon

    One of the best games I have ever played. The main story is great, but what really is magnificent is the side quests! Complicated, interesting, makes you feel like a detective trying to solve a case, and it just doesn't get boring. I also have to mention the music, which is superb and makes the atmosphere even more intense. I highly recommend it to everyone, but for a RPG-lover it's a must-have.

    Beautiful world, amazing story. I have put in about 8 hours already and I know I'm not even 5% done. I will be spending a lot of time with this game. Atleast a 100 hours easily. I also own the PC version and although it looks a little bit better. I think this and bloodborne are the two best looking games out for the PS4 so far. CD RED came out with a home run here.

    Gameplay: 9/10 Geralt still controls a little clunky however everything else has been streamlined and the combat is very satifying.

    Story: EVERY QUEST is interesting! You take an optional quest ? It isn't kill 10 X's and even the ones that seem like it's going to be mundane... have always panned out have an interesting twist or character development.

    Very little bugs considering the scope on my GTX 970/I5 4690k i do not know how it runs on lower stuff. Optimization has been the best i've experienced all year and i have every major release.

    Can't recommend enough. Don't listen to the children crying it's beautiful, deep, and will keep you playing for hours and hours.    … Expand

I have to salute to Andrzej Sapkowski, because he crafted unforgettable world with amaizing characters.

    Don't listen to kids, that cries about "downgrade", game is still beautiful. PC gamers can tweak some settings and use stuff like Reshader or Sweet FX. It looks stunning and the storm, oh my god, the storm in this game is effin amizing, just can't describe it. Ofc we can argue about texture and lightning quality in some places, but with game of that scope it is impossible for it to be 100% perfect.

The world is amazing, the plot and stories are amazing and you want to play each one of them, even smaller side quests. When i played other games like Assasin for example i was mostly playing main plot without trying to do every single side quest. Here its diffrent. I dont want to play main plot to extend the game as much as possible and get my witcher better weapons Because without it you also stand no chance with better creatures. All of the creatures are diffrent, wich makes to fight with each one of them other way and you have to use your special signs or alchemy to gain boost in your weapons. I would never believe a game would get me so much into it. The best opinion on it is that my fiancee who in her life played only candy crash on her iphone wants to play it too ar ot least watch main stories, thats how she is into it after watching just the beginning of the gameplay. 10/10 is not enough, this game is so big that if you play with side quests etc(wich yuo really want to do) i will take quite long time to finish. And then you will have also expansion packs wich doesnt cost a lot and adds as much into the game as other companies pull out a new game on market with 2.5x bigger price. CD Projekt is amazing company and i am sure they will bring much more also with Cyberpunk game in 2016. Honesty i can rate it way above GTA V or any other game in the history of gaming.… Expand

    The world is vast, utterly gorgeous and littered with content. Comparisons to Skyrim are inevitable and understandable but this is a different animal. For all of Bethesda's prowess in building open worlds, their narrative structure and character development are somewhat impersonal and "old-fashioned" (not to mention the terrible anti-climactic endings!). CD Projekt is more in line with Bioware in these regards and here is where the most obvious comparison lies- how does it compare with Dragon Age Inquisition?

    DAI was a great game and a step in the right direction for Bioware. However it had some short-comings particularly in the quality of its content. Too much of it was superficial and had no bearing on the greater world either in consequence or in fleshing out the narrative. In spite of my limited time with The Witcher 3, it's already very apparent that it does not suffer the same problem. Without giving anything away, the few side quests that I have completed felt purposeful and nuanced; adding just that little bit more meat on the bone.

    Graphically, The Witcher 3 is easily the best looking game of its kind. The attention to detail is immense and the day/night cycle with its dynamic weather lead to some very impressive vistas. The character animations and facial expressions are impressive considering the lack of performance capture (unfortunately simply impossible to do from a cost perspective on a game this size).

    The combat is fast, fluid and very satisfying. Watching Geralt decapitate or cleave his foe in two never gets old! The skill tree is deep allowing allocations in all of your major skills- sword play, archery, alchemy and signs. There is also the opportunity to apply mutagens to your active skills giving them additional bonuses.

    I've scarcely scratched the surface of this behemoth but the quality on display here is indisputable. I can't wait to see what the next 100 hours plus have in store!

    Take a bow CD Projekt Red, you've done something special here!    … Expand

I play with everything maxed out on SLI GTX 980, with a 1080p 144Hz G-Sync monitor, and get on average 85+ FPS. The Witcher 3 deserves all the praise it's getting.

    It showed me what Dragon Age series could be if it wasn't governed by the biggest scumbags in the industry, that is EA. Don't get me wrong... I really enjoyed Dragon Age Inquisition and would gladly give it a solid 7 out of 10, it had some good points, it had some bad points, but it was a pleasant experience... But since I /just/ about finished DAI and jumped straight on the Witcher I can see how these games should actually be!

    Everything Witcher 3 does, it does better. World is "semi-open", just like in DAI, but it much, much better in scope! It feels more alive, have more NPCs and a ton of things to do on your very own. Side Quests are /brilliantly fun/ and engaging instead of the classics of yore, like "go kill 10 things" or "deliver this **** to the other side of the map, plox". The amount of things you can find, collect, craft and explore is outstanding for a game that isn't fully open world, like for example good ol' Skyrim... Not to mention, the game looks just brilliant; textures, light, even drawing distance... It is truly enchanting.

    Fighting is another thing that make it fun. Okay, so, yes, a lot of reviews will tell you that fighting is nothing unique, innovative or brilliant, but it is also not bad at all - just a good, entertaining system without a flare. I can agree with it, but I'd like to add something to it... Fighting system in Witcher 3 can be as fun as you, player, want it to be. You can just plough through most fights with basic attack & roll, patience and one sign you like to use, sure. But if you truly want to be a master Witcher that literally tear apart any beast that comes into sight, you need to explore every bit of the mechanic and invest your time into it... Brew tinctures, potions and oils. Prepare bombs. Master the 'signs juggling'. Understand the attack patterns and skills of your target. And most importantly, REALLY read the bestiary file since the amount of info you can get from this thing is outstanding. If you do all of this, trust me, you will feel like a true expert in slaying monsters, and you will realize that all this tough fights suddenly became easy as cake when you take your time to prepare for them...

    So far though my biggest joy of Witcher 3 is, well... The Script. Writing. It was always a major standpoint and feature of this series, to never make any character, even the lowliest NPC a one dimensional dork. There are no "shining pure Knights" or "Dark evil people" here. Everyone meddle in the grey zone. Everyone do bad things for different reasons, or their good deeds never go unpunished. Every choice you make (and there is a massive amount of them!) can turn back on you in the most twisted, curious and unexpected of ways. It is thrilling!

    Another great point is a simple fact, that the writing is /GOOD/. Characters talk and seems real, they are cynical, sarcastic, snappy, impatient, but also jovial, energetic, enthusiastic, disgruntled... Whole spectrum of emotions, both in spectacular voiceovers as well as, gosh golly, face mimics and movements. Maybe it strike me so well because I just finished Dragon Age Inquisition - which had great voices and good acting, but the models of characters during dialogues were stiff, unmoving, sad mannequins. Here they really seem so alive! Eye shifting all the time, eyebrows working, jaws clenching, lips curling, hands moving around, stance changing. You can SEE their emotion on their bodies and faces. It is truly great...

    If you are looking for a challenging RPG with amazingly good and overfilled world, fun quests, mature script and awesome scope, Witcher 3 is going to suck you in and you will sink too much time into it, trust me :D    … Expand

IF your looking for a huge open world with alot to do and see this is the game for you! i am confident that CDPR will put out a few patches here and there for the camera lags and the few minor bugs the game has at this time. but even with these this game is amazing. All i can say is become a witcher youll love it!!!

    One last thing. i suggest that you play through the first part of the map called white orchard. this will allow you time to level up and have a slight advantage when moving to velen/novigrad. so search through white orchard go to all of the undiscovered locations and explore!

    My first impressions of the game after playing 2 hrs were that of disappointment and here's why; Skyrim was my favourite RPG game and its easy to look at the trailers for The Wtcher 3 and make comparisons and create expectations especially if like me you've never played the previous Witcher games.

So i wanted next gen Skyrim.
    At first all i could do was focus on things that were not like Skyrim and i actually considered taking it for a refund. I looked at it differences and saw them as flaws. That being said the game does have issues;

    Roach doesn't follow the paths he's supposed to and rides in the wrong direction.
    I have been getting stuck on things walking and riding.
    During the tutorial i fell from the castle walls because the movement mechanics are not easy and jerky.
    The camera angle when using Witcher senses is squashed and awkward and you use it a lot.
    Looting and examining abjects isn't always easy because of the camera angles.
    Geralt's voice is annoying and at first you notice all the time.
    The text and pictures in the inventry menu is very small and could be easier to use
    Climbing could be better.
    Swimming mechanics are difficult.
    It isn't Skyrim.

    Other people have also mentioned other issues like popping and stuff which i've seen and when you are already disappointed with something you start to pick holes everywhere..

    Now the reason i marked this as a 10/10..

    Despite all those issues and the disappointment i felt i decided to give it more time, maybe it would get better and the story would draw me in.
    I have now been playing the game for 3 days and i am so glad i stuck with it because it's really grown on me. All the bad points about the game that i focused on mostly don't bother me now or i don't even notice them anymore because the game is actually so good.

    The story is great and the soundtrack is excellent. The open world is massive and full of detail. I was only playing in one area for ages and when i finally progressed with the story more i got to see some of the larger cities/towns and they look amazing! then you start to see just how big the game is and how much detail there is. You can go into nearly every building and look around and they are all full of details it's not empty rooms. You get used to the way Roach rides around and the same with Geralt's movements, swimming is still difficult but i have improved and it's not really a big issue for me. The details to this game are what make it so good. The colours are so rich and you do find yourself taking in moments when there's a sunset or sunrise and everything is a golden orange colour. another great thing is that you don't have to wait everytime you enter a building or room, not like Skyrim.

    There are some things that i would have liked to be different in the game like be able to switch to first person sometimes i want to see things closer up especially when there's so much detail, combat would also be better in FP. Being able to climb like in Assissn's Creed would have giving it another dimension too.

    This really is a great game and it gets addictive, i think like me a lot of people will be put off by the first hour or so of the game where you getting used to how it works but after that it's all fun, hrs and hrs of fun!

    I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.    … Expand

    There are also small and big morality choices, without summing up scenes like it was in Witcher 1, but still you see consequences.
    There are a lot of places to explore, they are non-linear and often are huge enough to spend an hour.

    Graphics are good. Downside is that the game is very demanding, pushing you either to buy high end gaming pc, or considerably lower graphic settings. On high/ultrahigh settings game highlights way too simplified lightning techniques which are used in all current games. It deserves really something different here. Maybe ray-tracing which would bring down all current hardware to its knees.

    Interaction with objects is also not so very smooth - you can sometimes stand in air, jump 6 meters high or dive with your horse which then disappears. Close quarters can also cause you some trouble with camera and objects activation.    … Expand

    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    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.    … Expand

    I'm not usually a fan of "Mini game" type things in RPG's but even the card game Gwent has me hooked trying to acquire the unique cards and beating the best players.

    The choices you make throughout the game can have dramatic consequences either immediately or further down the line which often makes you think about your choices and responses to people.

    Anyone who is a fan of huge open world games should buy this, you won't be disappointed. 10/10.    … Expand

    This game so far has blown me away with excellent storytelling and characters. The only game that I have played where the sidequests have really meaning and weave in and out of the main story. The whole world feels alive as well, my only gripes are some of the technical foibles, including framerate drops and occasional glitches. Either 9.75 or 10 from me.

    The massive and immersive world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will pull you in and keep you hooked for days on end, say goodbye to real life. In this review for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I will give my opinions on gameplay, story, sound, graphics, and last impressions.

    Gameplay: 9/10 - The gameplay in Witcher 3 takes some getting used to, no doubt. The combat is challenging at first and    The massive and immersive world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will pull you in and keep you hooked for days on end, say goodbye to real life. In this review for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I will give my opinions on gameplay, story, sound, graphics, and last impressions.

    Gameplay: 9/10
    - The gameplay in Witcher 3 takes some getting used to, no doubt. The combat is challenging at first and making use of oils, potions and signs can have a steep learning curve to it. That being said, once you have spent some time with the system you really begin to appreciate the diversity and rewards to combat. Every enemy has different strengths and weaknesses, and it is entirely up to you whether you will learn and take advantage of these, or go in swinging and hope for the best. You get what you put in with this combat system, if you're willing to learn and make use of everything, there's plenty of fun diversity here.

    Story: 10/10
    - This game truly shines in the story. Whether you're doing a main quest or side quest, everything was excellently written and crafted. You get the feeling that everything you do in the world has purpose and often it really does affect the game down the road. The shear amount of things to do is staggering, and none of it feels like simple filler. My first playthrough took me 58 hours, and this could have easily been extended if I spent more time on side quests and the surprisingly engaging Gwent, needless to say after the endgame, I still have a gigantic amount of quests and contracts to complete. The game does an excellent job of making you care about characters and what happens to them, which is something rarely seen in many games of this day.

    Sound: 10/10
    - The soundtrack to The Witcher 3 is excellent. I did turn the music volume down a few notches because I felt at times it interrupted with the story being told, but after this I found it much better to my personal preference. The voice acting throughout this entire adventure is done excellently by the enormous cast. You meet an incredible amount of characters, and most of the time they have something interesting to say.

    Graphics: 9.5/10
    - Everyone who has any interest in this game has most likely heard of the graphics downgrade from what was shown at E3, but the game still looks incredible, especially when you realize the scale of the game. I found myself very often stopping and just admiring the view in many different areas. The game looks fantastic no matter what you play on. The framerate has some hiccups on the PS4, notably in the swamp areas and a later cave area, but as a whole the game runs very well. Throughout my 58 hours I had one crash while in game and one freeze at a loading screen.

    Last Impressions:
    - If you've read this much of my review, you can probably guess that I loved this game. I've played a countless amount of games over the past 10 years and consider myself a pretty serious gamer. That being said, out of the hundreds of games I've had the pleasure of playing, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt easily makes it's way into my personal top 5 list. This game is truly a masterpiece that should be enjoyed by any RPG game fans. It is the largest game I've ever played, and I've never been kept so engaged through an entirety of a game like I had been with this. I'll be starting my second playthrough immediately at the highest difficulty and can see myself working towards 100% completion. I recommend this game to any RPG fans and every gamer out there should give it a try.

Since I devoured all the books as a teenager, coming back to this world was like meeting old friends long not seen (a feeling strangely absent from my experience with The Witcher 1 and 2, neither of which I completed, by the way) and the game translates the world of the Witcher impeccably. This world also derives a whole lot from the ancient slavic and Polish traditions and legends, so you really need to be Polish to get 100% of the atmosphere. Yet again, if you don't speak Polish, you will have a great opportunity to experience something a bit different to your typical heroic fantasy reality. Don't be fooled by the "standard" medieval setting of the game - when you encounter mages concerned with "ecology", expansive empires championing gender equality, or a representative of a common folk discussing "democracy", you'll know what I mean.… Expand

    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.
