But the beauty of the game, the amazing story, the vastness of the landscape and the absolute fun of playing far outstrip these minor issues. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.… Expand

    Wow.I can't say how much I enjoyed this game. The huge world, the great stories, the overall design is just impressive. I don't even thing it makes sense writing this review, because by now you should have already seen that this is one of the best games ever (yes!) made. Go get it!!

    If you like action RPGs at all, this is just about the best game you could hope for. Great story, graphics, music, characters, blood and gore, violence, profanity, gratuitous nudity, sex, humor, the whole 9 yards. There are however, some minor deficiencies to note.

Great story, graphics, music, characters, blood and gore, violence, profanity, gratuitous nudity, sex, humor, the whole 9 yards. There are however, some minor deficiencies to note.

    First, the game is LOADED with boring sub-plots and cut scenes. It’s okay though because you can skim the subtitles and skip through the cut scenes fairly easily without much risk of missing critical information. So I guess that gives players the flexibility to pay as much or as little attention to the plots as they want.

    Second, the world seems to be divided into several areas for purposes of loading into RAM. But often you have to jump back and forth between these areas, and it gets annoying repeatedly having to view the same comic-book-like cut screen and monologue while an area loads.

    Finally, most of the skills are worthless relative to other skills. If you experiment with all the skills, it becomes pretty obvious what the “best” skills are to improve. So, if you re-allocate your points (which is possible using a potion) to the best skills, you become virtually invincible. At that point, you’re just playing through the story without any realistic challenge.

    Overall 10/10. Just get it.    … Expand

    An Outstanding Game. The Witcher 3 has a story with meaningful characters and an interesting plot that puts you on one hell of a ride to find your friends as well as Ciri in a brutal but gorgeous open world. All of this is complemented with an abundance of side quests and fluid game play that will keep you hooked for a very long time.

There are have been some cool moments, like the slaying of the griffin in the beginning, and the flying creatures in general get me pumping a little, but by and large I find myself grinding through the game feeling rather disinterested. The world feels empty and meaningless as I pick up hundreds of items I can barely read on the screen. The story bores me and I just don't care. The Last of Us made me care. GTA 5 made me care. And those were PS3 titles! Why the Witcher 3 is the third highest rated game on Metacritic I don't understand. Perhaps someone could explain this to me? Honestly though PS4 games have been a bit of a let down to date. Here's hoping for better, more soulful releases in the near future. Thanks.… Expand

    This game is incredible. The combat, the gear, the crafting, and the quests are all some of the best I have seen this generation, and the amount of content in the game means that if you like it, it will have plenty of replay value.

    Probably the best RPG I've played in a while, with such an immersive story and breath-taking graphics. Many monsters to fight, quests to do and NPC's you can help. Many dialogue options that can be interesting and create different choices and endings. Combat is somewhat fluid, and you can choose between signs (spells), a cross bow, bombs, and your swords, plus some potions and elixirs.

But the story is great, and the towns and forests of the Continent are worth sight-seeing if you can handle it.

    You must also know that this game feels more like a story than an RPG. I had no problem with that, but if you have a small attention span then you might not like this game. Otherwise, it's a must-have game for die hard role-playing fans.    … Expand

    I'm tired of these "supposed to be RPGs" the User Interface is just ugly, story is dumb, the openworld is not well implemented, this game shouldn't be on consoles to begin with, the medieval theme it's so overused, but this is supposed to be the 2015's game, is the best thing we're getting nowdays i suppose

Whilst the combat lacks the depth of some rpgs it is still enjoyable, particularly fights against powerful beasts which demand that the player use appropriate strategies, spells and tonics to win the battle. The world of this rpg is well populated with npcs, animals and monsters and feels truly alive particularly as it changes because of the decisions you made.

    Now, the only reason I have waited on buying this game for so long was that I thought I could not understand the story, and I was wrong again! The story is wonderfully explained and pulls you in (and you have the sudden desire to become a witcher and even start trying out the Signs [or spells] in private to see if they can work!)

    The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 was because I am not a big fan of the weapon degradation system, and I feel that adding the option to disable it would be brilliant. (This is not that annoying though, and doesn't take away from the game too much)

    its still worth a buy if u havent already, and especially if u get it cheap. but to be honest don't expect miracles- its good to see the story through. but i really think the hype is way overdone for this one.    … 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.
