    A month ago I bought this wonder, I had a lot of free time to play it at first it was difficult for me to get into it but later it was a pleasure and I must say that the expansions are better than the story in my opinion, and that also the secondary missions are very entertaining some are more interesting than the main missions, without a doubt already enters my top 5 of favorite games.

    Fantastic game, easily one of the best I’ve ever played - and I’m writing this in 2021.

    Definitely in my top 5 games. Amazing story, graphics and combat system. I played the GotY Edition and hope they do a PS5 Version soon.

    - Very well-written, in-depth characters and nuanced interpersonal relationships;
    - Great visuals for a huge open world game;
    - Fantastic music; - intricate story with some great plot twists and moral dilemmas; - Exploration/sidequest with a heavy focus on dialogue and narrative hooks which is rare to see in most open world rpg's since they're riddled with standard fetch/kill quests

    - Great visuals for a huge open world game;
    - Fantastic music;
    - intricate story with some great plot twists and moral dilemmas;
    - Exploration/sidequest with a heavy focus on dialogue and narrative hooks which is rare to see in most open world rpg's since they're riddled with standard fetch/kill quests without anything interesting attached to them;
    - Stellar voice acting alongside natural, realistic and witty dialogue;
    - Compelling lore to explore;
    - impactful decisions that change the in-game world and story;
    - Great world design that hooks you into exploration;

    Absolutely tear inducing after I realized it was over, like finishing a really amazing book, movie or tv series. One of the greatest strengths of this game, besides the characters, is how they introduce diverse, (not copy pasted) carefully written narrative and story into side quests. The vast majority of content in this game feels unique and worth exploring even without any material gain, because while you might find 2 quests that involve “finding someone” which introduces you into the same core gameplay loop of searching for clues that lead to your objective and fighting/talking your way into completing it, one of the quests might involve trolls that kidnapped a shoe maker because they have an obsessive love for shoes and the other could involve a sweet old couple that, with further investigation, you might find, are cannibals that feed off of live people or corpses, and in both situations you are given options to decide what YOUR version of Geralt would do, with valid reasons for each choice available.

    The game could have benefitted from harder enemies and better, more diverse and impactful loot.(weapons and armors mainly.) As it stands there is no reason to use anything other than the witcher school armor/weapon sets since they're way better than anything else and it's a bummer because the weapon and armor design is really good in this game, so it would be nice to have some incentive to use other equipment.

    While the gameplay and animations are extremely smooth, playing Geralt, a witcher, might feel restrictive in terms of gameplay options, although I didn’t mind this compromise in favor of immersion.

    While the graphics were amazing for a game this size, the grass/plants/tree didn’t have volumetric textures.

    There is an argument to be made to shorten the main story for the base game as it can overstay its welcome at times, although most parts were very compelling. Best case would probably be taking parts of the main story and making them side content since they're still really good so cutting them completely from the game would be a disservice.

    It's worth mentioning that this game is very dialogue based and it goes usually goes into detail without cutting any corners so it will involve A LOT of reading, if you prefer gameplay that revolves around a lot of action instead then this might not be the ideal choice for you.

    Eine mittelalterliche Open World mit Fantasyelementen ist Schauplatz dieses nahezu perfekten RPGs. Die Story fällt durch ihre erzählerische Brillanz auf, die sich bis auf die kleinsten Nebenmissionen erstreckt. Auch das Kampfsystem ist sehr raffiniert. Eines der besten Spiele, die jemals entwickelt wurden (10/10).

    Отличная игра, прошёл на одном дыхании. Радует что есть русская озвучка, притом довольно неплохая. На мой взгляд лучшая игра из тех что я играл на данный момент.

    The best open world medieval RPG game on PS4. A perfect blend of narrative game and RPG. The overall graphics is really ahead of its time. Oh, and the sound design is epic. You can't miss this game. It's an experience you'll never forget.

    By far my favorite game. One and only game I would erase my memory of it just to play it again. Music incredible stories amazing. Perfect minus a few glitches but it’s an older game.

    I mean, what else is there to say about this game that hasn't been said. It is the greatest adaptation of a book series in any medium. It continues not only the books story but the prior two games, and it doesn't feel like poorly written fan fiction. This game was made with love and care. The story, gut-wrenching and heartwarming all in one.

    The performances are amazing and feel raw and

    The performances are amazing and feel raw and real. I felt what Geralt felt and how Ciri felt.

    multiple playthroughs will always take me back to the first time I played this game.

    As missões primárias e secundarias tem histórias incríveis, o nivel de detalhe das suas escolhas que impactam no mundo aberto tambem são incríveis, o jogo não tenta imitar outro, é apenas ele , com personagens muito carismático e histórias próprias de cada um. 10/10

    By far the best story in an open world game. All secondary missions feel like they could be part of the main quest, and it didn’t feel grindy at all.

    I hesitate to give anything a 10/10 because I always feel there are at least a few flaws worth a point or two off. This game is no different in that regard - the various role-playing systems are good, but have a bit of jank. The world is gorgeous but perhaps a but too full of things to do. Combat is good, but without the good chances for cheese you have, it would have been a bit staleI hesitate to give anything a 10/10 because I always feel there are at least a few flaws worth a point or two off.

Combat is good, but without the good chances for cheese you have, it would have been a bit stale after while. Still, the storytelling in this game, and the moral ambiguity of much of it, captivated me in a way few video games, or even movies or TV programs, manage to do. Hats off to the developers. The additional expansions were great, and I actually enjoyed Blood and Wine as much, if not more, than the main game (though I think you have to really like what the game gives you to do to want to play another 30+ hours of it). Easily one of my favorite games. Expand

    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.
