    What can I say about this one that hasn't been said already. Geralt is back with the new and possibly the last installment in the Witcher series. The game is incredibly beautiful and well realized. The story is superb and CD Project Red really pays attention to all the details. Next up Cyberpunk 2077.

    I have never considered myself a RPG fan but I enjoyed some RPGs in the past (I absolutely loved Gothic). Since Witcher 3 has such a high metascore I thought that I would enjoy it as well even though it is a RPG.

    Technical kinks aside (controls, camera etc.) I have to say that this game was just not for me. I appreciate when games have a lot of story to tell and The Witcher is full of nice little and not so little stories but the game seriously lacks gameplay. For me there was no sense of accomplishment. The game constantly gives you detailed instructions where to go and what to do. Even the fighting was no real challenge.

    In the end I feel like I watched a 50+ hour movie and that leaves me kind of frustrated.    … Expand

    Time flies while playing this game - and I thought I was not a huge fan of the style. They manage to build this game in a way that fosters exploration. There is a lot of stories and it's not a game just about killing monsters all the time. The balance between action/exploration/conversations is awesome!

    I've just recently finished the whole "vanilla" game and I must say that this is the best RPG on the market. Far better than Skyrim. The story that this game tells is incredible. The fights, the minigames, the plenty of side quests that feels like a main story either, the 36 endings that this games offers makes it for me the best game I've played so far.

    After playing bloodborne i tried witcher 3. Unfortunately it was boring as hell... the combat system is lame, and since you fight half of the game , i guess half of the game will be lame. I sold it after playing 3 hours through it. I don't say.. for a beginner gamer , this is gold. But for someone who played countless games , and games like gothic.. this feels a little bit repetitive.

    The game world itself is massive, the content is non other than exceptional and definitely sets the bar for an RPG, the quest system is great and the choices given can at times make you think.
    The game will easily sink you in for over 100+ hours and this is just mainly doing the story and a few additional quests and exploration activities here and there.

But here you are getting so many little stories with surprising attentions to details. The main quest is intriguing but the ending is not perfect in my opinion. It is understandable that developers didn't have so much money compare to other companies so they could not do something epic in the end but it does not make a game any worse. Also, you MUST get expansions. Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine are surpassed in some things main game. I loved stories in these expansions.

The main quest is an ambitious adventure involving numerous characters through-out various regions, and the side-quests are equally engaging.

    With that said, I've docked 1 point for the following reasons:

    - The swimming mechanics and close-quarters combat are clumsy and glitchy at times.
    - The main character has no personality, and speaks every word of dialogue in a painfully monotone voice.
    - You may be disappointed if you're looking for the endless thrills of a GTA-style sandbox. Once the story and various side-quests are completed, its replay value diminishes much quicker than higher-octane sandbox titles.

    - 75% of game is go from point A -> B then see a cutscene, rinse and repeat
    - Combat and movement is clunky and its just a two button mash combat, where is rpg combat like skyrim, the inventory system is very tedious to use
    - There is no exploration aspect in the game , every little thing is marked on map. So it again makes me feel like i am just walking from point to point seeing the mini map and then triggering cutscenes thats all..

    Its better if this game is a movie because a game should offer good and variety gameplay and this game fails to do that.. but since the story is great with multiple choices,endings and because of graphics i give a 7/10. Will give a 6.5 but cant score like that in metacritic i guess.    … Expand

Therefore, I often avoid multiplayer clashes that rob me of the two reasons for playing. I'm just an average player who has come in contact with some titles. One I liked more, the other less, some frustrated me, and yet others pulled in enough that after a few years I even came back to them. Many of the hits I din't even play and probably that will never change. I can think of myself as a fan of rpg and I can not properly dress in words, HOW MUCH DID I HATE CD PROJEKT RED FOR THE WITCHER 3

    The announcements were boisterous, conferences, interviews and marketing were thought out, even the slow and fueling cinematics made me feel impressed. I live in this world for too long to be immune to omnipresent hype. So I waited, since the May premiere I closed in a tight cage of internet ignorance. I have not read, watched, and looked at a single: review, rating, comment, and opinion on the latest CDP production. I persisted for 3 months, and believe me it was not easy, I finally bought it and played it. (on a PS4 btw).

    What were my feelings, impressions, opinions? The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt pulled me in my chair so deep that almost for a month I became an antisocial zombie. During the game, I wanted to check the next marker, discover what is behind the next rock, river, hill, ect. Discovering another entrance to the cave led to the same excitement as when I saw a Christmas tree surrounded by gifts. Many times during my trip with Geralt I stopped to watch the breathtaking views. During breaks from The Witcher, I wondered how the story of Geralt and Ciri would unfold, how the fate of Velen, Novigrad and Skellige will resolve, and whether I made good decision. Many times I wondered if I was ready to defeat this monster who had mercilessly dumped me last time ...
    Okay, last seven times. The marker still shows that I am weaker than him, (and with this level cacan't beat him or it), but maybe this time it's possible (in the rhythm of great music during the fight) I will be able to do it. In short, The Witcher 3 dragged me into it's world without a doubt.

    So why I hate the Reds and their latest production? CD Projekt released his latest child, and unknowingly done a great harm to many players. They lifted the bar too high. Maybe I'm in the minority, but when I decided to play the Witcher I robbed myself of those things that would make me happy playing any other productions. I will unintentionally compare them to the latest Witcher, and the winner of this battle will be known before it starts.

    Is it perfect? Of course not, there is no such thing as a prefect game. But it's essential in every gamers collection.    … 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.
