    Great game! It took me about 12 hours to slowly reach level 5 (I wasn’t in a rush). Considering I just found a weapon schema requiring being level 30, that’s a good sign that I will be playing this game for 100-200 hours. That is an amazing value for money. And, that’s even before any of the upcoming free DLCs. The future is looking great!

    The open world is beautiful. I saw people complaining about this world not worthy of being “an open world”. They don’t know what they are talking about. This isn’t a corridor game. This isn’t a “Destiny open world” either. It’s a massive world and you can pretty much go wherever you like. Only in a while, they block access to an area mainly to prevent the gameplay from unravelling too quickly.

    The gameplay and storytelling is of very high quality. Goof variety of choices (spare them, kill them, insult them, be nice, etc). The fighting system is responsive and fluid.

    My four small annoyances with the game are: the fiddly inventory system (Witcher 2 system was better). The game text is too small (read the studio is working on it – I activated PS4 “Accessibility” feature in the meanwhile). The movement first step is often awkward and off (obvious when in building trying to loot (steal) items). The video sequences, even if high quality images often lack the smoothness in their movement (surprisingly with the techs of these days).    … Expand

Second the movements are quite unresponsive, especially in the water, but thankfully you don't have to stay in water if you choose not to. The horse movement is even worse, random and sudden stops, which is extremely annoying., similar to geralts stopping for a fight if you are constantly trying to run away from enemies. I'm not mentioning frame drops, and technical stuff, because it's been mentioned many times. So with all the criticisms over, I wont get too much why it is very good game, but I will let you know that even though its fictional, the reason why its good is because it;s believable, people are believable as wells as their stories, the world is believable as well. It's very maturely executed overall and that what has been missing for quite some time in gaming world. It is certainly a game that will be remembered for a long time, and I would definitely recommend even if you're not an RPG fan (like myself).… Expand

    Overrated, hyperhypyed, very bad game. Poor voice acting, witcher whispers to himself, and somehow others hear him), incoherant character movements. Everybody in the game looks like robots. Action sequences are poorly designed. No an once of proper collision between objects, characters and the surroundings. Terrible graphics. Boring storyline. To avoid.

    It has 4 minute fetch quests with more compelling story and interesting characters than the main story line of Skyrim.

    There is a constant sense of exploration of wonder that actually manages to surprise you over and over again. Not since the days of Baldur's Gate II have I felt so consistently amazed at the places and things I encounter in an RPG.

    And best of all, in the most positive sense of the expression: This is not a game for babies. There's racism, sex, cruelty, drugs, moral ambiguity, and more disturbing monsters than you've seen in any other game. You will not be coddled, your actions will have far reaching consequences -- many of them not immediately apparent, and if you walk into the wrong area and attack a the level 20 golem guarding a chest when you're at level 6, you're swiftly reduced to a blob of red paste in the forest floor.

    The world design is incredible. It feels like a real world rather than a bunch of sewn-together set pieces. Not to mention the beautiful foliage. Makes Dragon Age III look like a golf course by comparison. The sound design also merits special mention. There's so much carefully crafted ambiance everywhere. Last but not least, the dynamic weather effects are beyond anything I have seen in a game to this date.

    The whole game just oozes of the love CDPR put into it.

    There are some minor warts, such as the controls which take a moment to get accustomed to, and the inventory interface isn't the most brilliant in the world, but they're barely worth mentioning.

I am a passionate soul player and recently finished Bloodborne (which I rated 10/10). I love complexity and challenges.

    Good games these days are rare to find and TW3 lives up to its hype! I am personally not a story-type-of-gamer. My background is MOBA (no longer), FPS (no longer) and RPGs. I am a passionate soul player and recently finished Bloodborne (which I rated 10/10). I love complexity and challenges. I've played all games from MMOs (WoW to AION (and FF11)), to FPS (CS, COD and BF). Owned many consoles and loved Skyrim.

    Here is why you should buy TW3:
    - The world is HUGE - to a point that curiosity invades your soul (Skyrim fans will love it)
    - Graphics on PS4 are good!
    - The story.

    Now as I mentioned previously, I don't really dwell into the story when it comes to video games. I believe a better gameplay will always overshadow a good story line. Skyrim and Fallout are the only 2 games I really take time to read notes and story. That being said, the story line in TW3 is THAT good that it is REALLY hard not to LOVE IT. I am completely ADDICTED to side quests (not as much for the main story). The dialogue is great and really funny if you like black humor. I never hit the skip button (unless I have to talk a second time to merchants).

    The reason why I am rating this game a 7/10 is:
    -1 combat system
    -1 bugs (please fix it ASAP)
    -1 frame drop rate

    1) I personally dislike the combat system in TW3. The camera is really awful and 5 hours into the game, it really started to piss me off until I found that you can easily switch between multiple targets. Eventually I got used to it and 40 hours later, I am still loving this game.

    2) Bugs need to be fixed. I am not talking about glitches which are fine. I guess. I mean REAL bugs. Some quests don't work and I still have one pending quest in my journal (whom I already received the reward for it but still listed under treasure hunt). I crashed 3 times playing GWENT. And got stuck on several occasions. I also find sometimes crates or whatever to be hard to loot. You need a specific camera angle for it which is annoying.

    3) I am currently playing in Velen and the swamp is really laggy. Frame drop rate and bugs everywhere. Feels like the game isn't really polished. One of the quest (Baron going back to find his wife) - good luck lag and bugs feast.

    Still on v1.01 hoping to get a v1.02 soon. Need a solid 1.1.

    Should you buy this game? Yes. Will you like it? Yes if you are willing to ignore bugs (until fixed) and poor combat system (you'll get used to it and once you gain more levels then it's much more playable NOTE: I'm playing TW3 on Death to March mode - so camera and combat system really matter imo). Will you go for the plat trophy? Quite likely. I am!

    It's a good game!    … Expand

    It also made me realize a bit that GTX 970 witcher on Ultra settings is not too superior of the PS4 version of the game.

    I think this game will become legendary. Witcher 3 is just too awesome and vast. I could not cover all great details here. This is the first game I gave perfect score although actually I would like to give it 9.7 due to the long loading time and the game depends a little too much on gears. However, I would like to say the game improve much from Witcher 2.

However, I would like to say the game improve much from Witcher 2.

    The World - Perfect open-world with a huge amount of details. Graphic is great. Character designs are god-like, they feel so real. Game length is so immense. I spent like 20 hours and I think I haven't reached 10% of the game yet.

    Story - Very good, no complain. (but I think witcher 2 is better in the beginning part, well, I think I have to play more, I havn't finished the game yet)

    Combat System - works very well. Although, if you compare with Bloodborne, you may feel that it is a little clunky. Well you need to know that Bloodborne is expert in that area so it will be hard for any game to surpass that. However, Witcher 3 combat system also has its own merits. You need to stay with it for a while. Be more patient, this game does not want you to be as aggressive as blood borne but to be mindful and strategic.

    Music - Don't see any flaw in this area. Voice acting is great

    Additional point - You can play card game in Witcher 3 + you get a real map from your box and good manual hard copy.

    That is all, In sum, If you like Skyrim, this game is a must play for you. If you have never played RPG open world before, this game is a good epitome for you to see what a perfect open-world rpg game is, you should give it a try. If you don't like Skyrim, there is a high chance you will not like this game also.    … Expand

    Also the RPG dont usually have something amazing that it will blow u away or some kind of inovation of some sort,they just give u a huge map and everything else is pretty much the same with less effort-since the DEvs have to create the whole map...
    However,Witcher 3 grows above every single RPG game i have ever played and if ppl really thought that Dragon Age Inq was a big hit or something then kiss my ass,because this game is at least 2 times better than Dragon Age Inq which seems like a child's game in fron of the Witcher

    Pros :
    Extrordinary graphics,
    Outstanding voiceacting,
    Amazing Facial expressions,
    Interesting story with decent conversations and characters,
    Amazing depth with monsters,
    Huge Map,
    Nice combat fights(for an RPG)

    Coins :

    Also,the combat seems kinda frestrating with the signs,te dodging,the running out of combat...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. May contain spoilers. Summery - Story: 8/10. Missions: 7/10. Aesthetics: 10/10. Audio: 8/10. Game-play: 7/10. Content: 9/10. Controls: 6/10

    In-depth review - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a brilliant game. Having sunk many hours into it, I have seen and done much but not nearly everything. It has taken me around 30 hours (not including exploration of which I have done around 10) to get to the near the end - I am just a few missions away. So, I have decided to share my thoughts on this staggering game.

    Story and Missions - As I said, around 30 hours and I haven't quite yet completed it and personally, I find the story a little boring and long-winded with the missions being a bit too repetitive. However, I have scored them an 8 and a 7 respectively because, my personal opinion aside, they are well written and occasionally very interesting with some well put together characters.
    But personally, I found the missions all too much the same - go here, mop up a room of hostiles or take on a monster, return for pay/information on Ciri. The almost endless stream of speaking to someone who wants you to find someone else so they will tell you where the person you're looking for isn't just wore the experience down for me. Throw in an often dry and lengthy story while talking to someone and getting nothing from them beyond more "find area, search for clues, find nothing and move on" missions and it really took the wind right out of my sails which too often made me put the game down. You may like it which is why I am not judging based on personal preference.

    Aesthetics and Audio - The sounds of slicing someone's head clean off or severing their arm and head from their torso is rather horrendous... which is why it is fantastic. The detail they have taken to the bulk of the audio is brilliant. However, there are many sounds that just seem clunky and almost don't match. Galloping a horse across sand makes a muffled, scratchy sound - like hitting a wall wearing a Hook and Loop glove - yet in the game, it sounds like 2 halves of a muffled coconut smacking together. Also, the music tends to either not really fit or just fade into the background making it a bit of a waste. Aesthetically, the game is beautiful - very well-crafted and each section looks almost like nature itself had created it. The detail on the creatures and people of the land are actually very good and feels as though someone had actually been there and recreated the man and beasts as CGI. Bugs and glitches are relatively common, but none I would consider particularly game-breaking and I won't mark the game down for them as they can be fixed in patches and so fourth.

    Game-Play, Controls and Content - Here the game stumbles a bit. The controls tend to be quite counter-intuitive, clumsy and very sluggish at times - often too much of the time. Times I have wanted to go from jogging to sprinting and Geralt has stopped and extinguished a fire or I have been stood in front of a flame and he has opened a container of loot or I have wanted to draw a sword quickly and he has taken his time, seemingly pondering the complexities of the universe while a gang of thugs roll on me, are simply too often. However, once you get a rough handle of the controls (after many hours) they still feel a bit awkward, but, aside from the occasional muck up, can pull themselves together. I have explored a great deal of the world but there is still much much more left almost begging me to explore it. I wouldn't say it is as seductive as say Skyrim's world - and by that I mean I haven't as often seen a cave or castle and been drawn in - but this is mainly due to it being mostly out in the open, whereas Skyrim and Oblivion, there was more mystery in not being able to see into a cave before entering. However, it is very interesting and so airy, I actually enjoyed just walking through a plain or a Forest or something; even without seeing anything off interest as it was just so lovely and pleasing a place to be.

    Overall verdict - Staggering and beautiful land with plenty of interesting and well-crafted inhabitants - man and beast - but let down by clumsy controls and somewhat repetitive missions giving a score of 8/10. A great game, definitely worth getting - especially if you enjoyed Dragon Age: Inquisition and want to explore almost something like an open-world version. If you just want something to fill The Elder Scrolls gap while waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI, then I would advise you dabble with the story, not going too deeply just to see if you like it, and just enjoy the world.

    -Combat and movement in general are horribly clunky. It feels like swimming in molasses. I'm coming off playing Bloodborne, so I guess it's hard to have an experience as good as that game's dynamic fighting. Tracking enemies is stupidly hard as the lock on skips around.

    -Along with movement, the mount and looting are are far more complicated than they should be. Overstepping things should be a game achievement.

    -This is not an open world. It's like Dragon Age: Inquisition where they story pushes you from large zone to large zone.

    -The story? ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    -Items? Jesus. How much crap do I need? Why do RPGs feel like loading me up like a pack horse equals awesomeness?

This is a game for adults, not COD fast twitch fiber gamers. A benchmark game, which will age well.… Expand

    This has to be the greatest game that I have ever played by far and any glitches that are talked about I personally can't find.

    As with all RPG's you can't expect to run before you can walk. Myself, having just given around 300hrs to Bloodborne + DS2 at first found the combat system in Witcher 3 a little clunky. Having said that, practice makes perfect and the more I play the more natural it's feeling to dodge and parry. As an RPG veteran the Soul's games are the best in category.

    A couple of dodgy mid air floating boxes doesn't distract from the overall technical marvel of this game and the world is gorgeous. There is an abundance of things to do and should be done in a lazily fashion. Take your time, lust over its grandeur and you will be awarded with one of the best RPG experiences around.    … Expand

    The best role playing game i have ever played. Best graphics, massive "open world" and fabulous story. Wild Hunt must be awarded "Game of the Year" award.

    Was going to give it a 9 but giving it a 10 for the 1 or 2 CoD kids giving it a 0. It's the type of game you think you have played for a couple of hours then when looking at the time it's 3am. Addictive, so much to do , excellent charactors and dialogue, combat is challenging and rewarding. Side quests are enjoyable with their own shorter stories. Lots of character development.

    Fantastic game i never really liked open world games. But then i gave this a chance and now love them.
    I'm hooked. They have done a really good job. My only problem is like a few other people, the text size is a little annoying. But the game is that good i just don't care. 10/10

    Ill keep my first review short. Witcher 3 succeeds where so many games in last decade failed in one simple regard. This game showed me once more why i became so fascinated with gaming in the first place. The feeling i have when i play this game reminds me of the feeling i hade when i first played Knighst of The Old republic. For me its completely immersive and fun experience.

    Now for the comparison, that everybody is trying to make.
    I loved Skyrim, but this in my eyes is more coherent game, which for me makes it much better one.
    Yeah and the last Dragon age is in my eyes boring piece of .. so i am not going to bother with that.    … 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.
