    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

    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.
