    One of the greatest games of all time in my opinion. A very good game that I will most likely cherish and praise forever.

    An absolute masterpiece. I've been spoiled on some much better combat systems since playing but Witcher 3 spoiled most games for me in any other aspect. It's hard to enjoy most games after playing through this beauty. It's not only my pick for best game of this generation but my pick for greatest game to date. Every gamer should own this and cherish it.

    The Witcher 3 is an outstanding game that delivers on so many levels. The amazing thing about this game is that even though the game is gigantic in scale and has many activities to partake in, these activities always feel meaningful and most of them are masterfully designed.

    The Witcher 3 is an outstanding game that delivers on so many levels. The amazing thing about this game is that even though the game is gigantic in scale and has many activities to partake in, these activities always feel meaningful and most of them are masterfully designed. And while this game is not perfect, it is still a great example of a game created with care and hard work to deliver an unforgettable experience. The locations in this game are so carefully designed and filled with detail that causes the world to feel alive and believable. Whether it is the mountainous and snowy Skellige, the romantic and picturesque Toussaint or the swampy and muddy Velen, the game never fails to awe with how fantastically designed those locations are. And, with all of that, it provides great main quests and side quests that are filled with memorable and well told stories, and also with interesting characters. Choices greatly matter here, since they can heavily determine story outcomes and they enrich this already fantastic game with more replay value. It is known that the combat is not the game's strongest point, but it is still very fun IMO, albeit in some instances easy. And there are a plethora of creatively designed monsters to fight against, with everyone of them carrying different kinds of strengths and weaknesses, and with the help of potions, signs and bombs, there's multiple ways to fight enemies. Now, I've been showering the game with praise by now, but let's talk about some negatives. I found the boss battles of the main game to be incredibly dull and easy, which is a disappointment, however the game's DLCs have some awesome boss battles and they seem to overshadow my disappointment. There's also some story pacing problems that kind of hinder the experience slightly. And, there are some weird glitches, however, considering how huge the game is then that flaw is to be expected. Even though The Witcher 3 has some clear flaws, these flaws are easily overshadowed by the game's grand achievements.
    Also, the soundtrack of The Witcher 3 is beautiful; probably one of my favorite soundtracks out there. The soundtrack enriches the experience significantly, making the main story even more exciting to play.
    So, The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece. If you're thinking of buying this game, then definitely get the GOTY edition, since it includes the two outstanding DLCs that also have amazing storylines and add many cool things to the game.    … Expand

    An absolutely breathtaking game. Even for a game that is now 3 years old, it has some of, if not the best graphics on the system. The world is deep, well written, and chock full of lore and secrets. Combat punishes you for being unprepared, and is one of the more fun combat experiences in an open world RPG.

You have signs (spells), two swords with separate uses, bombs, crossbows with interchangeable bolts, and varied armors to fit your playstyle.

    The Witcher 3 also has what I find to be one of the best open worlds in gaming. Environments range between putrid, corpse ridden battlefields, harsh snowcovered mountainous islands, and beautiful French inspired country sides. The quests directly effect the world, and can be seen by the presence or absence of characters in different locations. This game also has fantastic enemy variety, which I feel has been somewhat lacking in many RPG's and AAA releases as of late.

    TL;DR version, this is an absolute must play and has so much to offer. Go pick it up.    … Expand

    Amazing, top 3 game of all time. Epic adventure that made me excited for Cyberpunk 2077, well oops on that, though sounds like better now but what a let down with NPC's for example. Witcher 3 NPC's were alive not disappearing acts.

Not only does it take some aspects from well acclaimed games in multiple genres but it meshes them together beautifully. This games a blast to play whether its your first go round or multiple play through.

    Pros: The Characters brought to life in this game really make the game shine due to the different personalities and view points. The player begins to love or hate each one of them. Interactions with each whether friend or foe help the story flow and take shape depending on the choices you have made or could make.

    The story itself is a great aspect of any game but The Witcher 3 really makes it stand out. It is like taking part a novel itself; one you don't want to put down. The plot twists, side stories, and subtle clues are award winning.

    The Combat is in a league of its own, due to the player preference in leveling that can change the entire style of the protagonist's combat abilities. I tended to play as a buffer with potions and decoctions but have dabbled in signs or just running over enemies with beastly sword skills and improvements. This game is easier to learn, but difficult to master especially in the higher difficulties and learning about each enemy is almost as important is leveling up in itself.

    Gear/Leveling was done well in a way that helps slow the pace of the game and helps players have a drive to do everything on the rather large maps with all those joyous little icons you want to grey out. Not to mention some of the Witcher sets are badass to look at.

    Finally, the size of the game isn't something to be upset about considering all the DLC with new quests areas and characters included and the replay ability is astonishing since the choices you make in the first and second game can change this game ever so slightly. Not to mention the choices in the game can be felt in the later areas and chapters with the final overview at the end.

    The game is a must buy for any avid gamer or RPG lover, the only downside is that this is possibly the final installment but one can dream for a Witcher 4. Buy this or rent it either way carve your way through monsters and humans alike to see how you survive The Wild Hunt    … Expand

    An absolute beast of a game. One that I have gone back to after completing the main story- not for 100% completion purposes- just because I wanted to. Addictive, personable, engaging, funny and battle hardened. A better game for the PS4 I have not come across.

    The only negatives are a slightly (only very slightly) disjointed inventory system in which you may have to jump screens to    An absolute beast of a game.

    The only negatives are a slightly (only very slightly) disjointed inventory system in which you may have to jump screens to check what you have vs what you need (for crafting, selling etc) and load times when you die are a pain (i'd say about one and a half to two mins).

    I never give games a perfect score of 10 as there is always some sort of flaw that prevents me from doing so but even the above mentioned 'flaws' aren't enough to drop this below a perfect score. Anyone that thinks God of War is an all time classic should really see what an absolute classic is. Witcher 3 is it.    … Expand

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is among these masterpieces and is one of the best games I have ever played. I could write pages about what I like and I love, so I will try to note some small criticisms. Fall damage is unrealistic and annoying (save frequently before you try to scale a tall object), I got one corrupt save file that was easily remedied by a new save halfway through the same. Fast travel is nerfed from the previous Witcher game and requires you to visit sign posts ( forced/ encouraged exploration perhaps ?). If you like video games you will enjoy The Witcher 3.… Expand

    Don´t know how I could have forgotten to put my score on metacritic, but now, as I play through TW3 for the fourth time I´ll do it. Easy and short. The Witcher 3 is the best game I have ever played. The worlds immersion and feeling is beyond the scale. The Characters are prestine. The Story & Lore are off the charts. This is my favorite game of all time.

I was obsessed with this game for more than 6 months. It was a wonderful gaming experience and I was enjoying every second of it. However, there is one thing that have to be mentioned to people who will actually read it (I doubt anyone ever will though). GWENT. I played every single gwent game possible and I was crying when I heard CPR will make an actual gwent game. So yeah if you gonna play this game say goodbye to your life.

    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.
