    The Witcher 3 is the best game on the market .Camera is fine if you used to playing on console.
    Game is hard but fair. If you want a mature story and hard moral choices this is game for you.

    This will go down as one of the best rpg's ever created. It's mind blowing in scope and quality and very refreshing. This is a harsh, realistic and brutal world. Perfection is this game.

Love the universe, love the graphics. Whereas downgraded the game still looks stunning on PS4, especially considering the huge scale and complexity of the world here. Many times during gameplay I just stop to admire the landscapes. Gameplay wise everything works smoothly, in fact Ive had some issues with too sensitive camera while starting the game but changed the custom controller camera set up here (fixed the sticks sensitivity to 0.80-0.85) and since then everything have been working perfect. I would recommend to do it for anyone having problems with "weird" camera in the game, should help a lot. This game never feels boring, the world is full of quests and places to discover, you will not find the dull side quests from Dragon Age. Overall this is a superb game which should keep you entertained for 100+ hrs. Great job CDP Red! 10/10… Expand

    Best PS4 game I have played. Fantastic storyline, great graphics, fun gameplay, HUGE environment. There are tons of things to do besides the main storyline like sidequests, contracts, each with their own interesting, fun stories. You certainly can feel that the world around you is alive.

    Yes there is some lag and yes it takes time to get use to the camera but it is a amazing experience and definitely worth the hype, i have put already 30 hours in and dont regret it. I also pre-ordered the collectors edition so i got a few bonuses but its worth your money and believe it deserves a game of the year. ( My opinion)

    For all pessimists: this is not Dragon Age or glitched, easy Skyrim. This is a mature game with a great story, based on a rich, wonderful prose of Andrzej Sapkowski (highly recommended). Huge world, artwork, dialogues is a masterpiece. The game is not easy but people forget such productions as Fallout 1, 2, Baldur's Gate, in Europe Gothic 1, 2. Great game. Good job CDP Red.

Haven't left starting area yet! wish they allowed some sort of material or items just to make cash most of junk I re-polish into materials. Kind of sad because I have to go to work tomorrow..

    all about the game has been told so far in countless reviews, so ill just point these subtle things that make it much better than dragon-age-inquisition-like games :

    -customizable hud - you want to fully sink into the world, why not disabling a map and instead start asking for directions around, same goes with inventory, hints etc - huge plus for that
    -no more dull 'get 10 shards' side quest - right now a side quest is a non-forced little story that makes this game even more 'real' and you will quickly find out that nothing is black or white :)
    -no more saving the world hurr durr - Geralt is a monster-hunter, not a prophet, world saver or some other nonsense - the main quest is personal, remember The last of us ?
    -reality - you cant jump off the cliff with a horse ;))), you jump off from ~7meters as Geralt = youre dead, doesnt matter how much health you have
    -fighting ! its somehow similiar to shadow of mordor, yet a little bit less responsive, but requires a skill and tactical approach (as every enemy fights in other manner)
    -medieval lenguage (at least in my lenguage version) - its A M A I Z I N G while it comes to building an atmosphere
    -truly dark fantasy vibe - if you find a thief, he'll get hanged on a tree - no merciful 2nd chance **** like in other rpgs
    -the world is huge and full of things to explore

    the only con i have found is that you cannot attack civilians/nonhostiles - and sometimes they are pretty disrespectful during the conversation - a punch in the face would be a great use here, and would fit the storytelling perfectly but you cannot do it :(    … Expand

I have to salute to Andrzej Sapkowski, because he crafted unforgettable world with amaizing characters.

    Don't listen to kids, that cries about "downgrade", game is still beautiful. PC gamers can tweak some settings and use stuff like Reshader or Sweet FX. It looks stunning and the storm, oh my god, the storm in this game is effin amizing, just can't describe it. Ofc we can argue about texture and lightning quality in some places, but with game of that scope it is impossible for it to be 100% perfect.

    I 100% recommend You this game. If You are a gamer and especially a RPG fan, You just CAN NOT MISS THAT TITLE.

    To CD Projekt RED, You have done outstanding job, this is a worthy conclusion of Geralt story, salute. I bought today Your season pass, because I know, You will not fail me.    … Expand

Unlike the semi-open world of previous game, W3 is features fully open world with beautiful sceneries, day and night cycle featuring amazing sunset/rise, and interesting people to meet. You will travel various locations, including forest, mountains, underwater, across the seas, caves, and catacombs.

    Almost all the quests (especially story quests) will have to deciding between two choices, and these choices will affect how world revolves around you.

You have the main quest, which is told with superbly production values thanks to excellent voice acting, nicely detailed faces, and good animations for the most part. Then you also have the side quests, which unlike many other RPGs where the side quests merely feel like filler, there's a lot more to them here - many of the side quests feel like self-contained stories with satisfying payoffs. In terms of the gameplay, you'll be exploring this massive world, collecting loot, leveling up, unlocking new abilities, and doing everything one would expect from a modern day RPG. Then there's the combat, which may seem different than you're used to at first, and may seem more challenging than some other RPGs since the combat seems to be a lot more animated than most RPGs, but once you master it - and you will - you will love it. I especially love how you can either roll away from enemy attack, block them, parry them, or my favorite, sidestep them stylishly.

So far, the only thing I don't like about it is that its much easier to find the quest area than it is to find the people responsible for it . Example: I got a quest from a bulletin board (how original, right?) and went to the quest area. Once I was there, I forgot something that I needed and had to go back to the village and find the person who I spoke to about said quest. It was really difficult to find this person as there is no marker that labels who it was. The marker only shows you the objective on the world map. But this is such a minute complaint.

    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.
