    This game is an absolutely awesome time vampire! I honestly have no complaints aside from a few bugs here and there but nothing too freak out about. CD Project Red should have just made this game an MMORPG. There is so much in this game and it's just so good, you don't want it to end.

    This game is absolutely amazing. Graphics are incredible especially on a 4k TV, unreal soundtrack, some of the best music in a game I've heard since Arkham City or Red Dead. The combat keeps it carried along with your magic skills and how the upgrading can work towards those skills was well thought out.

The combat keeps it carried along with your magic skills and how the upgrading can work towards those skills was well thought out. The only issue I have is inventory control and how it's hard to find ingredients needed for making certain potions, along with armor upgrading and crafting, those systems I'm still scratching my head at. But otherwise every mission and side mission is engaging and never repetitive. CD Project Red is now up there with my top 10 favorite developers. Well done guys!… Expand

    Take a bit of Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, The Wolf Among Us and add following ingrediences: most beautiful and dense open World ever created, hard but rewarding combat and the most memorable side quests ever created from which many are dramatic storylines on its own. This masterpiece is what you get!

    Absolutely amazing game.
    We have idiots rating this 0/10 because of his troubles with his PC. DONT PLACE THIS **** IN CONSOLE REVIEVS SECTION....
    Graphics and atmosphere of Poland just pours out of the screen. If Youre not from Poland and want to spend vacation in this country all You have to do is launch Witcher 3.
    One of the best games ever created - do Yourself a favour and try this one out.

    I've been playing rpg's for more than 20 years and, until now, I've never been one to put any above others as a "king" of it's genre. But the sheer scope, atention to detail and how well it combines exploration, storytelling and it's own style of gameplay, warrants Witcher 3 that title.

    It's Story, characters, dialogue, quest/world/creature design are second to none of this genre. The world design can only be described as the most immersive, belieavable ecosystem ever crafted in any video game with an art style and atmosphere that perfectly captures architecture of mid european cities/village communities of it's historical time. Graphics,voice acting and music are of the highest quality. Gameplay is vastly improved from previous title...it is still not as responsive as Bloodborne or has the same quality of animations such Arkham series, however it more than makes up for it with an amazing variety of creatures and different types of AI, preparation through alchemy, learning your foes' weaknesses through extensive bestiary, use of magic signs that you can also use on your environment to give you advantage, as well as other tools at your disposal such as bombs, crossbow etc.
    It is not without rough spots though...such as UI( Inventory system), AI ( horse riding), controls and camera as well as suffering from no small number of bugs/glitches. Honestly, until CDPR takes care of these things, I would give it a 9...however I'm rating it a bit higher to negate childish stupidity of those who downvote this game because they feel threatened by any game that surpasses their favorite title.
    This is not merely another great game...it's place lies next to titles such as Chronotrigger, Half Life, Morrowind and others...games that mark a generation and leave higher standards for others to follow.    … Expand

    Rating a game with a 10 is no easy deed, given that nothing is perfect - ever. This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3. What makes this game a 10 is everything else: a more engaging story than anything sinceRating a game with a 10 is no easy deed, given that nothing is perfect - ever. This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3. What makes this game a 10 is everything else: a more engaging story than anything since Baldur's Game 3 is the strongest point. Although we live in a time where traditional turn-based RPGs are very few and not as exciting, this game managed something that, to me, seemed impossible: making an RPG game that can stand up to the unique experience of the RPG games of old.
    Merely by means of its storytelling, this is a game that everyone that does not absolutely despise fantasy, should play.
    Furthermore, this game is exceptionally good in all its other aspects. A vast, real, alive world, with incredible production vlaues that can only compared to those of the GTA series, only this is better. Excellent graphics that will make you doubt where all these millions spent by Bethesda for games like Fallout end up being spent, user friendy gameplay (for all levels and difficutlies), and written dialogue of the highest literary quality.
    I cannot but recommend this game for its achievements, which have apparently made it the winner of hundreds of awards, and I strongly believe that any person who respects gaming should try it.
    For RPG fans, I have one final comment: this may actually be better than Baldur's Gate II...!
    I have not decided whether it is. but i never thought that contemplating this thought would even be possible, what with all the "open world" sandbox RPGs they sell these days, which focus on graphics, graphics and forget to tell a story.
    So, if you do love real RPGs, you must play this game! Abandon all other games! PLAY THIS ONE! NOW !!!    … Expand

    One of the best RPGs i've ever played, a deeply emotional plot storyline, awesome cast of characters, Contracts are probably one of the most amazing side-quests that i've ever played, and of course an vast open world with a lot to do and to investigate, and a perfect sountrack... A few visual bugs, but nothing to seriously, i recommend to every RPG fan.

    CD Projekt and The Witcher have been rising stars in the industry since the first game , this third episode is suppose to be the last of this franchise so will Geralt go out in a bang ?

    Of course he will (like you probably read it a thousand times before) everything in the game is at least very good, beginning by its technical attributes, the games looks pretty for a RPG this big with nice light effects, large amounts of details and good textures in general, some visual glitches that are almost mandatory for games with that much content are the only bad side of the game, but they will not bother your gameplay experience, the framerate is steady and I didn't encounter any major issue during my 140 hours spend on this game.

    Gameplay wise the game offers a lot of thing, good investigations//hunts, exploration, grasping fights that are challenging when they need to be with, like the previous games of the franchise there is a great alchemy system that adds a tactical side to the fighting (probably the best fighting I've seen in any A-RPG), the best mini game of the world aka Gwent that is becoming a stand alone on its own now, etc. They implemented a lot of ideas in the game and all of them work great for the global experience of the game, it just feels natural without being assisted. Kudos to CD Projekt they clearly are talented.

    Finally concerning the story, once again it's a masterpiece they succeed to make an epic main quest, a lot of detailed side quests, some are equally epic, some are funny, some are heartbreaking, etc. All together they make for 100 hours of gameplay for the basic game, but I would truly recommend every one to take both extensions as well they have the same qualities with new awesome characters, monsters, locations, and of course plots and once again you'll get plenty of content, around 40 hours (which could be a full game, even two from other studios), for less than 30€/$. But the biggest accomplishment in the writing of this game is that the story works great whether or not you've played the two previous game, whether or not you've read the books (of course you'll catch up tons of reference if you already know the whole story of The Witcher) you'll be hooked to it and be willing to advance in the game and learn more.

    In conclusion The Witcher 3 is a must have for every gamer, sure it's not the best looking game ever, but it doesn't matter, it looks good enough and the gameplay works perfectly, it's incredibly full of content and the story is quite possibly the best I've experienced in a video game, at least in recent years, and will leave you some forever lasting memories. Buy this game, buy the expansions, The Witcher is without a doubt one of the greatest franchise in the history of our favorite medium : video games.    … Expand

    Everything in this game is solid.

    Graphics solid and beauty at: PC - One - PS4. The world: At all platforms smooth and so alive, this game really brings you to world of Geralt. The climate changes, and you can fell it, its like when in real life you feel the wind, the clouds closing the sun, and you know its gonna rain. In TW3 you know that without even looking to sky, just because    Everything in this game is solid.

The climate changes, and you can fell it, its like when in real life you feel the wind, the clouds closing the sun, and you know its gonna rain. In TW3 you know that without even looking to sky, just because of animals, the foliage, the wind... Gorgeous.

    RPG: This is an action rpg right? Yes, but its so rich, potions, alchemy, magic, swords, shields, bow, xbox, they're not simple weapons to use, they're something else, they defines you, you cant just simple use them, you need to master it, enjoy and understand each weapon. The level, the customization is everything in this game, you cant simply add ability points, you need to link that with your combat style, with your way to play, with your way of live in this world. Books, stories. Imagine a Skyrim with more dense and fluid combat system, add an alive world that changes all times by your actions and decisions, now, you're only 10% of what TW3 is capable.

    Quests: They dont exist only to you level up, gear up, or end the story... They exist to make this world alive, i hate sidequests, but here you cant ignore them, they're as rich as the main ones. This game defines next-gen RPG.

    Actors/NPC: Facial expressions, finest voice action, fluid smooth, you imagine the NPC is really there, is not just something to tell you the story, they're alive in this world.

    Mine final opinion: This a must for an action gamer, a must for an rpg gamer, a must for FPS gamer, a must for everyone. This game change it all, to me it enter the same revolution as: Chrono trigger, First Doom, Final Fantasy 7, Half-life... This is the new level of future rpg, cant imagine if is even possible to match with it. Giving this game 10/10 is unfair, you cant score this game, like you cant score the industrial revolution, the french revolution, WW's.    … Expand

    I love this game. In fairness, though, it does have some performance problems:

    **Noticeable framerate drops (the kind that the everyday person might notice) **Some audio issues like crackly music or not playing at all (at least for me, and no, it's not my headphones) **Somewhat laggy and unresponsive inventory menu once things start filling up **Not enough NPC character models But    I love this game.

    **Somewhat laggy and unresponsive inventory menu once things start filling up
    **Not enough NPC character models

    But its pros FAR outweigh its cons IMHO:

    **Memorable, unique, emotional, and fun main quests AND side quests
    **Combat is responsive and rewarding to master, especially on harder difficulties
    **Gear, skills, and leveling (RPG mechanics) are top-notch
    **Monster hunting requires preparation; it's no hack-and-slash on higher difficulties
    **Exploration reveals a dense, complex, and interesting world; it doesn't take long to find something to do
    **Voice acting
    **Music
    **Environment (day/night cycle and dynamic weather)
    **Interesting characters, most of whom are complex and imperfect
    **Gwent, an in-game card game, is fun and surprising

    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.
