    This game came out 2 years ago...and still towers high above other titles that came out today.

    I'm just gonna point out the good things and the bad.

    The Good: The game is enormous, the world full of little details, tons and tons of quests,npc's.
    landmarks, big cities (similar to Assassins creed...expect the world isn't empty like those crap games
    I bet you can take all 21 Assassins creed games together, and it still won't have as much content as The Witcher 3.
    You can easily spent hundreds of hours in this game especially on higher difficulties (and there is New Game +)
    The story and characters are done really well, every quest has in-game cinematic's and are fully voiced....it makes make you feel more emerged in the world and more connected to the characters.
    The graphic are amazing, it's the closest things to a believable living breathing world.
    And i don't know any game that has surpassed this game graphical wise (maybe Horizon zero dawn?)

    The Bad: Well not necessarily bad but i think the combat could have been done allot better, it can feel akward and buggy at times...it's a bit similar to assassins creed and Batman combat.
    But it does feel satisfying to chop off heads and limbs in slowmotion.

    Bugs! Well most of the game breaking bugs have been fixed by know...but like all open-world games it's never gonna be bug free! so expect to see some weird things from time to time.

    Verdict: Really worth picking up, don't hesitate.

    PS: If the game gets too easy at some point you can allow low level mobs to auto-scale with your level, so now every fight takes longer than 5 seconds....you can toggle this on in the options menu (took a while before i found out)    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 is simply an amazing game. It's as near to a perfect game as I've ever played the only flaw is that the combat can get somewhat repetitive but that is an extremely minor flaw as the many different missions and sub-stories keep it from getting as repetitive as Skyrim (also a great game but it suffers more from the repetitive flaw).

    Battle System: 8.5/10: It's a lot of fun    The Witcher 3 is simply an amazing game. It's as near to a perfect game as I've ever played the only flaw is that the combat can get somewhat repetitive but that is an extremely minor flaw as the many different missions and sub-stories keep it from getting as repetitive as Skyrim (also a great game but it suffers more from the repetitive flaw).

    Battle System: 8.5/10: It's a lot of fun and you feel like you've got solid control over your character. It can be a little button-mashy at times but for the most part not in a negative way. A very solid 3rd person battle system.

    Graphics/World Design: 10/10. The world is beautiful and there are many rich regions to explore each complete with their own lore. The main story is great but the secondary tales that flesh out each region are so good you sometimes forget to continue on with the main story. Truly The Witcher 3 manages to craft a world that you want to dive head first into. The graphics are also quite good. Everything you'd expect from a PS4 game.

    Soundtrack: 9.5/10. Honestly my only complaint about the soundtrack is that we don't hear the music more often. The music is good and fits the game nothing is overly epic for the battle you are having and it works to draw you more into the game.

    Story: 10/10. The story and the sub-stories are great. In fact the open world sub-stores are so good that they can end up distracting you from the main story! Despite this each subplot feels like it has purpose and your decisions in how you approach these can effect the overall story. Also the ability to play both as Gareth and Ciri adds an extra touch of greatness to the story.

    Side Quests/Bonus Material: 9.5/10 It's great as I've said already. The extra stories are awesome. The witcher contracts get a little repetitive but they all have individual stories so it is bearable and you still feel accomplished completing each one.

    Misc: Pretty much all covered above. All else I can mention is the crafting system which is easy to use and very useful and I would give it a 9.5/10 as well.

    Summery: The only bad thing about The Witcher 3 is that I didn't play it earlier. It truly is a great game and does the open world right without sacrificing story. There are few things I feel it could have done better.

    Overall score: 10/10    … Expand

    The effort put in to this game really shows, even the dialogue of secondary quests seems to capture the players imagination. I've liked the previous Witcher games also, but this felt like the best one in many ways. By far the best game I've played this year.

    It's deep, dark story lines and overall narrative are the most mature you'll ever experience in a video game. It's stunningly presented, graphically it's second to none. Geralt himself is easily the best character in video game history. The characters he encounters the NPC's, the friends and enemies are all unique and varied. Enemy AI is fantastic, each type of monster operates differently and distinctly to the others.
    The amount of time and love CDPR has put into this game is astronomical, and it shows. Its the first game I've ever played where I can happily wander around and just soak up the environments.
    And Gwent! Who would've thought that this little side-game could be as good as it is and as addictive.
    There's so many things going on in Witcher 3 and at first it was super daunting, but like everything you've just got to keep putting one step in front of the other.
    I've played Bloodborne and Fallout 4 and they simply have nothing on Witcher 3. I just love it, there are no other words and not enough praise can be placed upon this game. The fact that CDPR are continually supporting and adding to it is a testament to this work of art they've allowed us to experience.    … Expand

    Rating a game with a 10 is no easy deed, given that nothing is perfect - ever. This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3.

This game does have its setbacks, and in my opinion one of them is the actual fighting, which is too action-oriented for the nature of the game. This is, basically, the only negative comment that I have for Witcher 3. What makes this game a 10 is everything else: a more engaging story than anything since Baldur's Game 3 is the strongest point. Although we live in a time where traditional turn-based RPGs are very few and not as exciting, this game managed something that, to me, seemed impossible: making an RPG game that can stand up to the unique experience of the RPG games of old.
    Merely by means of its storytelling, this is a game that everyone that does not absolutely despise fantasy, should play.
    Furthermore, this game is exceptionally good in all its other aspects. A vast, real, alive world, with incredible production vlaues that can only compared to those of the GTA series, only this is better. Excellent graphics that will make you doubt where all these millions spent by Bethesda for games like Fallout end up being spent, user friendy gameplay (for all levels and difficutlies), and written dialogue of the highest literary quality.
    I cannot but recommend this game for its achievements, which have apparently made it the winner of hundreds of awards, and I strongly believe that any person who respects gaming should try it.
    For RPG fans, I have one final comment: this may actually be better than Baldur's Gate II...!
    I have not decided whether it is. but i never thought that contemplating this thought would even be possible, what with all the "open world" sandbox RPGs they sell these days, which focus on graphics, graphics and forget to tell a story.
    So, if you do love real RPGs, you must play this game! Abandon all other games! PLAY THIS ONE! NOW !!!    … Expand

    The storyline is simple, yet it definitely gets your attention. I geniually care about Geralt and Ciri and most of the other supporting characters. I thought Tess and Zoltan were both great.

    The controls take a while to get a hold of but that's a good thing. I don't want to just smash the x-button the entire time I play a game. The witcher, and the many different villains that you fight require you to constantly change up your strategy in combat. I like that. Makes it interesting. Keeps it from getting stale.

    i love the different types of quests in the game. Some of the Witcher contracts have a nice sense of horror to them. Then there are some (the threesome quest) that have some funny moments to them.

    Gwent is one of the best in-game games I've ever experienced. You can literally just play that game for hundreds of hours.

    If you are a gamer, I would definitely suggest to play this on the hardest level. I played on normal and it was too easy so i went back and put the difficulty alll of the way up, and it was a much more challenging experience but made me feel much more satisfied.

    lastly, without giving too much away, Ciri is one of my favorite characters of all-time. Like Ellie from the Last of Us, I truly started to get emotionally attached to Ciri. I wanted her to be happy and I'm glad that I got the Witcher ending. I would have felt really empty had I thought Ciri died. I would be willing to play the entire game as Ciri btw, who is very fun to use in combat.

It's world and lore very rich in detail and so beautiful that I usually stop to admire the landscapes - something I rarely do in games. The maps are very big, with tons of Witcher activities to carry out, and alive too with monsters in habitats and humans in villages, that actually sometimes collide, resulting in the deaths of entire villages. Gameplay relies on you, the player's knowledge of how, and when monsters attack, what their weaknesses are, and what tools to use. Basically it's a role-playing game that gets the job of role-playing done - where you, the player, are put into the role of Geralt of Rivia. You are made to try to think like him, immerse yourself in the character, and be him. All the while, maybe adding a bit of your personality to him, to decide what's right or wrong in the game. Choices also actually affect how the game ends. It's the first game to actually get me somewhat teary eyed in the ending.

    Also, don't mind those people who complained that the PC version took a hit in the graphical area. The graphics are still beautiful and PC people are just-- ugh.

    All in all, this game is a great end to Geralt of Rivia's story. Get it when you can.    … Expand

Nothing bad to say really- apart from some stupid choices I made in the game leaving me lonely and a little lost in the end - but hey... maybe that's just me.

    Pro tip - make manual save games often. As once you finish the game, you may want to see what happens when you make a different dialogue choice and if you haven't got a relevant save game, sorry big guy, you're going back to the start.    … Expand

    Technically, the Witcher 3 is the best game so far.
    Every aspect of it works great and im not surprised that the game is currently the most popular game to become GOTY. I played this game the hardest level through, but still the game experience wasn't matched up to Bloodborne.

    One of the best adventure/ role playing games I have ever played. Incredible combat system makes it skill that wins battles, not just button-bashing.

This game is a behemoth in scope, dangerously addictive and is packed with hundreds of hours of content easily.

    The voice acting and writing elevates W3 to another plane of existence and the side quests are bizarrely often much more interesting than the narrative events of the primary campaign and this is my biggest gripe with the game... The main campaign starts out great and gets better but then proceeds to lose steam around the halfway point where the story becomes more hit and miss. I was not a fan of Ciri as I felt that she was a two-dimensional character that was difficult to empathise with and often the line delivery would be quite melodramatic.

    The skill tree is very easy to understand and doesn't contain many (if any) junk skills/perks and the possibilities for different builds are plentiful. The world and its locations are engrossing and feel completely believable; there is little 'gameyness' to the world. The combat takes a bit of getting used to as it is fiddly at first, but it's a lot of fun and will test your reflexes a fair bit (depending on the difficulty.) Witcher 3 does so many things right but the best has to be the voice acting and writing. It constantly sets up intrigue and then rewards you both narratively and loot-wise, it's quite remarkable. I'm having a lot of fun now with Fallout 4 but unfortunately keep coveting Witcher 3 as it really made me stop and LISTEN to what characters were telling me.    … Expand

    Quite possibly the best game of all time.

    It is exceptionally rare to see style, substance, depth, maturity and sincerity all blended perfectly together. The Witcher 3 excels at this. I have played hundreds of games in my life of all different genres and I honestly can't think of another game that succeeds on so many levels. That's not to say that the Witcher 3 is perfect, it isn't, no    Quite possibly the best game of all time.

    It is exceptionally rare to see style, substance, depth, maturity and sincerity all blended perfectly together. The Witcher 3 excels at this. I have played hundreds of games in my life of all different genres and I honestly can't think of another game that succeeds on so many levels. That's not to say that the Witcher 3 is perfect, it isn't, no game this big is but it does so much and so much well that its pros vastly overshadow its flaws.

    The sheer scope of the Witcher 3 is an accomplishment that cannot be overlooked. This game is massive and not just long because of countless battles or fetch quests like in many rpgs. The Witcher 3 has some padding but even if you focus on only the essential content this game is extremely large. The world is far bigger than Skyrim and it is full of quests, gear, monsters and lore. This game has enough dialog to rival even large fantasy novels and the quality of the writing is far better than most.

    There are dozens of memorable characters and they almost all come across as real and authentic. Not just the main characters either, dozens of side quest will introduce you to characters that have more going on than the leads of many other games. Characters like the Bloody Baron are so complex and real. While Yennifer, Triss and Ciri are three of the best female characters in any game. I could talk all day about the characters. The only real weakness I thought was that the primary Antagonist seemed a little bit underdeveloped but by nearly any other game's standards he would still be a pretty good villain. This also isn't a game with just one big bad man causing all the problems, this world is rich with dozens of villains almost all with separate and complex motives. Who is good and who is bad is never black and white. Each character wants something for a reason.

    The World is the best I have seen in a game. It is not only massive but each region feels unique. Kaer Morhen, Novigrad, Skelliga, Velen, every one of those places is crafted with detail and full of unique landmarks, character moments, quests and stories that give it meaning. It is a world that is both beautiful and horrific. Just traveling through the landscape you will encounter things that you would find in a real world, some are tied to the main plot and some are completely independent. The world has problems outside of the Wild Hunt, war, prejudice, disease, thieves, cults, corrupt politicians etc. The Witcher 3's world puts most of the best rpgs to shame. If there is a game with a better world please point it out so I can go play it.

    The Witcher 3 manages to pull off dark and gritty while also having many of the funniest and most emotionally sincere moments I have seen in a game. Geralt lives an extremely dark life but the world of the Witcher is believably varied. Geralt has friends that are genuinely funny, he has relationships with multiple women and most of those relationships are better written and more sincere than those in 90% of games that only have one. Geralts relationship with Ciri is a great father daughter story. His relationship with Yennifer is a genuine and complex romance. The same is also true with Triss.

    Another thing the Witcher does brilliantly is offer meaningful options. So many choices in other games either have very little effect on the main plot or are simplistic good vs bad options. In the Witcher choices are complicated and have a far greater impact. You can choose who to help become king or queen and it actually effects the story in multiple ways. Choosing who Geralt loves can have consequences good and bad. If Geralt tries to romance multiple women it can come back to bite him. Choosing to save a person's life might lead to the terrible death of someone else, even major characters.

    One of the things that is so impressive about the Witcher 3 is that even if it was a top down game with pixel art it would still be a great game. Fortunately it isn't, it is one of the best looking games of the current gen. Some many moments are works of art. The character models are well thought out and there are countless details, different forms of clothing, and weapons. Monsters also look believable, unlike so many rpgs which pad out their rosters with monsters that look like house hold items. The landscapes are gorgeous and weather effects make it that much better.

    I could write several more pages on what makes the Witcher 3 great but the bottom line is that it succeeded in completely immersing me in its world for over 100 hours. For nearly 20 years the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time held my top spot for best game of all time. In my opinion the Witcher 3 has surpassed it. I still think that there are many areas that the game could be improved. Combat is good but not great. The menus are cluttered and many of the game play mechanics are far from the best but as a total package, the Witcher 3 is as good as it gets so far.    … Expand

    The game that put me back into gaming. It has a superb and immersive worldbuilding, a very compelling narrative, likeable characters, exciting and untiring gameplay, and has a huge amount of content throughout its map. Definitely a 10/10 game despite its minor flaws. A must play

    Masterpiece! if you havent played this game just go get it, the only "con" of the game, at least to me, would be the combat, it could be better...but stil, this game is just AMAZING.
    Also the DLCs, really, best DLCs ever made.
    Man i wish more devs were like CD Projekt Red...

The story of this game is awesome and like the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series, follows the very awesome decision making that makes different branching points and consequences. You can make decisions that might like kill another while it will save another, decisions that could make an impact later on in the game and many more. But what is the best thing in this game is that how sidequests are not that generic errand missions, almost every and each sidequests are relevant and affects the main story later on in the game. My favorite in the game are its contract missions, all are long, great boss battles and the various, unique and different ways our protagonist witcher will do to get the upper hand to defeat them. A great ending to a great series. A perfect 10/10 for me.

    Gameplay - As to this aspect, this game didnt really do that great, it did do good though, first is with regards tor the exploration...Its bad. The roads are usually narrow for your horse roach that usuaaly you get stuck at trees, rocks, etc and added the fact that when you whistle for Roach, he always comes out to the WORST places its so dumb, another thing is the quest line guide to missions are bad i dont recommend following them. As to the fighting, its decent in sword fight but I would have liked more customization since you are just stuck on swords. I understand why though. The cons regarding mainly the brawling or when you are fistfighting multiple enemies, the controls or options are bad and annoying when you cant use healing items and you are fighting in a small spaces. Swimming mechanics are subpar too, My biggest problem though is its bugs, there are instances when you cant dive in the water or when you are riding Roach and suddenly an invisible wall occurs which you cant pass but can pass when on foot and many more, However, this game though did showed the BEST Minigame in a game for me ever, GWENT...no need to explain why, i encourage you all to try this minigame asap. Overall, a good score of 8/10 will do.

    Graphics - First of all, i can really say that this is one of the prettiest environment i have seen in the RPG genre (Bloodborne and Dragon Age Inquisition are the only ones who can match it) it is detailed and i like how the weather changes from time to time. As to the characters though, the game has the most number of gorgeous and sexiest female characters ever. Everyone is pretty, had nice ass and **** whatsoever (esp the sorceresses) the guys are another story though since most are either too grizzled, old or generic except the main characters. Regarless, still a good game to look at and deserves a score of 9/10.

    Music - music wise, damn this is one of the best soundtracks and themes i have ever listened to. Battle theme is good, but my favorite in the in game piece is a song sung by Priscilla in game. Really soothing, I liked the theme also that plays while im just in my boat exploring the Skellige waters. Voice acting is also superb, though i didnt like how the voices of generic characters are reused so much in game. However with regards to the main characters and npcs are good overall, Geralts low voice, Yen's proud voice, ciri's feisty voice and so on. Though i didnt like the voice acting of Triss (she made her look like a good girl archetype which honestly if you played the previous games and read the books, it doesnt fit her character whatsoever) and the change with Dandelion's voice actor which is good but i would have preffered his former voice. Still a decent performance though. A score of 9/10.

    Total Average = 9

    My principle in reviewing games is nothing is perfect and nothing pure **** game and that there are no exceptions. Now, everyone keeps saying its a masterpiece or whatnot and i dont mind it. However, it is not a perfect game like what others keeps saying. It has a lot of bugs and issues that gets overlooked because of its strengths. Regardless though, I could say that it is one the best game i have played in the RPG genre which are in the levels of Dragon Age, Dark Souls/Bloodborne and the old and classic Final Fantasy games. A great epilogue to one of the best character of the witcher books and games. Kudos to the developers in putting real effort and time to make this great game.    … Expand

На 3 уровне сложности из-за Руны "квен" становится очень легко играть и почти никакой противник не представляет угрозы. Но сценаристы поработали на славу, практически каждый новый квест приводит к неожиданным последствиям и зачастую к нескольким вариантам решения. Музыка не то что плохая, от нее просто клонит в сон. Игра вполне заслуживает звания RPG, хоть и в большинстве случаев у нас 2 варианта ответа, но если учитывать, в каком состоянии сейчас находится жанр, то и это сойдет.… Expand

    This game is not perfect but it sure is close to it since the dozen patches fixing almost everything like in inventory system ect.. Also keep in mind you can mod it changing the gameplay making it harder or similar to Dark souls or making the game's graphics look even better. with that said the vanilla gameplay is simple when you're used to it and will most likely not care since all you'll care about is the story and the stories told in this game are inspired from so many cultures all over the globe and from different religions to create a refreshing experience that even the side of a side quest look like a mainquest and the side quests are better than the mainquests IMO were choices still matters and make you think since its not some black and white generic choices but gray that still make you wonder which of the choices are better with the lesser evil ect..

    And then the two DLC's are two other masterpieces that feel like a new game especially the B&W expansion with new musics, And speaking of music you'll listen to over a hundred original soundtracks both in exploration and combat that are so good you'll remember them for the rest of your life just like you'll remember the breathtaking cities and lands that feel alive with their own stories to tell and change the mood of the game.

    So after doing 5 playthroughs both in vanilla and modded with 3 of this playthroughs on a pirated version i immediately bought the game when i could to play it even more with 408 more hours on steam with probably a total of 1000 hours.
    So i can say this is most certainly the best game ever created and i can't wait for cyberpunk2077.

As a fan of Witcher II I played this hoping for something better, and I got it. Despite Witcher II's excellent setup and result, this sequel betters it in pretty much every way. The open world style creates a sense of freedom where you can find hidden away traders or random scenarios where someone needs help, it also creates tat chance where you could run into a creature that you have no chance of defeating and are foced to flee from. I hope they don't bodge the tv series of this franchise as it would not do justice for these games as they are top of the line entertainment. The DLC I have also smashed the granny out of and both are well worth the time introducing new, and sometimes terrifying, characters with intricate plotlines that compliment the world around Geralt of Rivia and his medieval posse.

    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.
