    exactly the rating it deserves. Not overrated or underrated. People who gave it even below a 7 does not understand anything about games, story, and character development. Some don't care for the combat, but it was polished af and especially satisfying on harder difficulty. Which I suggest those who hate the combat go play it on a harder setting.

    The best game I have ever played in my whole life. I have bought a lot of merch and finished the game 2 times. I have no idea how they relaesed the ugly and disgusting PS4 version of Cyberpunk after being praised for the Witcher 3.

    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.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10)Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    The world feels so alive. Side missions feel like they are their own story. The attention of detail is just impressive. CD Project Red has a bright future if they keep this up. The only improvement needed is the combat but their world and atmosphere is what makes this game a masterpiece.    … Expand

The combat was beyond clunky. Enemies were uninteresting and bland. The spells had no appeal or flash. The menus were combersome. The inventory was filled with way too many items that served no purpose until dozens of hours into the game. Repairing items was a frustrating nightmare. The "puzzles" were a lesson in boredom. Seriously using your witcher sense to find clues was such an abysmal waste of time. Swimming sections were nothing but frustration. The difficulty scaling was terrible, mid game fights were often very difficult then suddenly a breeze at end game. The lore felt to me like a game of thrones wannabe, that's just a personal gripe if you are into that sort of genre you'd enjoy it more. Overall a huge living world with endless side quests, hiding a boring repetitve fetch quest filled gameplay experience.… Expand

    There are also small and big morality choices, without summing up scenes like it was in Witcher 1, but still you see consequences.
    There are a lot of places to explore, they are non-linear and often are huge enough to spend an hour.

    Graphics are good. Downside is that the game is very demanding, pushing you either to buy high end gaming pc, or considerably lower graphic settings. On high/ultrahigh settings game highlights way too simplified lightning techniques which are used in all current games. It deserves really something different here. Maybe ray-tracing which would bring down all current hardware to its knees.

    Interaction with objects is also not so very smooth - you can sometimes stand in air, jump 6 meters high or dive with your horse which then disappears. Close quarters can also cause you some trouble with camera and objects activation.    … Expand

    Vast number of characters offering something new and entertaining to the story.

    Having completed this game earlier today I must admit it's one of the best games i've ever played. If the two previous Witcher games had a child with TESV: Skyrim's open world it would be their perfect child. The world is beautiful and overflowing with things to do, character writing and voice acting are both really high level, combat feels slightly more coarse than that in Witcher 2Having completed this game earlier today I must admit it's one of the best games i've ever played. If the two previous Witcher games had a child with TESV: Skyrim's open world it would be their perfect child. The world is beautiful and overflowing with things to do, character writing and voice acting are both really high level, combat feels slightly more coarse than that in Witcher 2 (which was ultra fluent and imo the best among the rpgs) but only slightly, which still puts it among top combat systems in rpgs. The only thing that could use some work is definitely the UI - although it gets the job done it doesn't deserve a standing ovation. Took me nearly 100 hours to get through most of the world and most of the side quests on normal difficulty. A must have for those who crave the ultimate rpg experience on PS4.

    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.
