    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!!

    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.

    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.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an action role-playing game with a third-person perspective.

Players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher.[1] Geralt walks, runs, rolls and dodges, and (for the first time in the series) jumps, climbs and swims.[2][3] He has a variety of weapons, including bombs, a crossbow and two swords (one steel and one silver).[4] The steel sword is used primarily to kill humans while the silver sword is more effective against creatures and monsters.[5] Players can draw out, switch and sheathe their swords at will. There are two modes of melee attack; light attacks are fast but weak, and heavy attacks are slow and strong.[6] Players can block and counter enemy attacks with their swords.[4] Swords have limited endurance and require regular repair.[7] In addition to physical attacks, Geralt has five magical signs at his disposal: Aard, Axii, Igni, Yrden and Quen.[8] Aard prompts Geralt to unleash a telekinetic blast, Axii confuses enemies, Igni burns them, Yrden slows them down and Quen offers players a temporary, protective shield.[9] The signs use stamina, and cannot be used indefinitely.[10] Players can use mutagens to increase Geralt's magic power. They lose health when they are attacked by enemies, although wearing armour can help reduce health loss. Health can be restored with meditation or consumables, such as food and potions.[4] Players occasionally control Ciri, Geralt's adoptive daughter who can teleport short distances.[11] The game has responsive, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and dynamic environments. The day-night cycle influences some monsters (and their powers), as a werewolf becomes powerful during the night of a full moon.[12] Players can learn about their enemies and prepare for combat by reading the in-game bestiary.[13] When they kill an enemy, they can loot its corpse for valuables.[13] Geralt's witcher sense enables players to find objects of interest, including items that can be collected or scavenged.[14] Items are stored in the inventory, which can be expanded by purchasing upgrades.[13] Players can sell items to vendors[15] or use them to craft potions and bombs.[16][17] They can visit blacksmiths to craft new weapons and armour with what they have gathered.[18] The price of an item and the cost of crafting it depend on a region's local economy.[3]

    The game focuses on narrative, and has a dialogue wheel which allows players to choose how to respond to non-player characters. Geralt must make decisions which change the state of the world and lead to 36 possible endings, affecting the lives of in-game characters.[19] He can have a romantic relationship with some of the game's female characters by completing certain quests.[20] In addition to the main quests, books offer more information on the game's world.[13] Players can begin side quests after visiting a town's noticeboard.[13] These side missions include Witcher Contracts (elaborate missions requiring players to hunt monsters)[21] and Treasure Hunt quests, which reward players with top-tier weapons or armour.[13] Players earn experience points by completing missions.[3] When a player earns enough experience, Geralt's level increases and the player receives ability points.[22] These points may be used on four skill trees: combat, signs, alchemy and general. Combat upgrades enhance Geralt's attacks and unlock new fighting techniques; signs upgrades enable him to use magic more efficiently, and alchemy upgrades improve crafting abilities. General upgrades have a variety of functions, from raising Geralt's vitality to increasing crossbow damage.[10] The game's open world is divided into several regions. Geralt can explore each region on foot or by transportation, such as a boat. Roach, his horse, may be summoned at will.[23] Players can kill enemies with their sword while riding Roach,[24] but an enemy presence may frighten the horse and unseat Geralt.[13] Points of interest may be found on the map, and players receive experience points    … Expand

Combat is fast paced, tactical, challenging and satisfying, yet it could be even more challenging for my personal preference (like in Dark Souls 3) because even on the hardest possible difficulty I fare quite well and don't die all that often.

    I really enjoyed The Witcher 2. Tho I mostly enjoyed it for its characters and its story. The gameplay was still pretty rough (still a HUGE improvement from The Witcher) and many mechanics were rough too. The Witcher 3 refines everything you know and love about this franchise.

    The story and characters in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are amazing. A side quest-line can be deeper and more meaningful than the main story of many other AAA titles out there. The ways characters interact with you and other NPCs is great and you really feel immersed in the world of The Witcher. The voiceovers are also really good and give life to these characters.

    The World is huge in this game and the locals so diverse. From swamps, to mountains, to grassy fields, to big cities, everything in The Witcher is fun to explore. The game is breathtakingly beautiful.

    Gameplay has been upgraded tremendously from the previous games and is a joy to play. Fighting and signs mechanics were improved and much easier to use. At the time I write this review, the menus have been re-hauled making everything much better from a UI standpoint.

    The only negative point I can give the game is the horse mechanics. Horse controls can be very frustrating at times. I've ended up just jumping off the horse and running quite a few times. Yet, that is not enough for me to give this game less than a 10.

    I'm also not counting the paid DLC in this review (tho I have played both and highly recommend them).

    This is my Game of the Decade! Please, go get it and play it!

    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.
