    Thats all thats the only thing i like about the game.. now for the things i dislike
    - 75% of game is go from point A -> B then see a cutscene, rinse and repeat
    - Combat and movement is clunky and its just a two button mash combat, where is rpg combat like skyrim, the inventory system is very tedious to use
    - There is no exploration aspect in the game , every little thing is marked on map. So it again makes me feel like i am just walking from point to point seeing the mini map and then triggering cutscenes thats all..

    Its better if this game is a movie because a game should offer good and variety gameplay and this game fails to do that.. but since the story is great with multiple choices,endings and because of graphics i give a 7/10. Will give a 6.5 but cant score like that in metacritic i guess.    … Expand

    Put simply, this is a great game. Is it perfect? No, but it is still a fantastic experience for RPG lovers. It has an uncanny ability of making you feel as if you are really Geralt of Rivia.

    We can all accept that there is a good dose of subjectivity involved in judging a game, whether due to its genre (which we might not like or understand), or due to the extent to which it excels (or not) in the things that we personally consider most important (graphics, game-play, story, combat mechanism, controls etc), or, in the case of sequels, due to the extent to which it continues orWe can all accept that there is a good dose of subjectivity involved in judging a game, whether due to its genre (which we might not like or understand), or due to the extent to which it excels (or not) in the things that we personally consider most important (graphics, game-play, story, combat mechanism, controls etc), or, in the case of sequels, due to the extent to which it continues or diverges from the earlier games.

    Still, there is also arguably a point where a score simply becomes not an evaluation of the game, but essentially an expression of a purely personal preference. For example, one might not enjoy the music of Beethoven or Queen, it might leave you entirely cold, but it is difficult to see how one could legitimately award the Fifth Symphony or Bohemian Rhapsody a 0/10. Unless, that is, one was simply using 0/10 to say ‘I personally don’t like this’ - but, the point of a review, shared with others, is that it should probably be saying something more than ‘I like this’ or ‘I don’t like this’.

    So, while I can see - and understand from comments - why users might rate the Witcher 3 anywhere between 7/10 and 10/10, it is extremely difficult to see how, objectively, one can attribute a 0/10, 1/10 or 2/10 (as some have); this is basically proposing that the Witcher 3 is very significantly worse than, say, Duke Nukem on last generation.

    Consider the various parameters:

    Graphics: in general, these are clearly up there with the best, particularly the attention to detail (whether the clouds rolling-in as part of the dynamic weather, or the goose flapping its wings and moving out of the way as you walk through a village). There are some issues with frame-rate and clipping (on console versions), but difficult to put this parameter below around 8/10 given the scope of what has been achieved in relatively early-era next-gen hardware.

    Sound/voice-acting: often over-looked, but the voice-acting is pretty impressive, with a range of accents, genuinely differentiated attitudes, and a rounded characterisation of even relatively secondary characters (e.g. the old woman in the ‘frying-pan’ side-quest). Geralt himself, admittedly, might perhaps be a little to flat for some, but again difficult to put this parameter below around 8/10.

    Decision-making/choice: far more than Skyrim, Infamous or Dragon Age etc, even simple side-quests can involve multiple options, with subsequent repercussion, but without presenting an obvious ‘good or bad’ choice (e.g. the ‘precious cargo’ side-quest). Hard to see less than 7/10 or 8/10 for this aspect.

    Combat: yes, this will divide more. For those used to the more diverse array of routes available in a standard RPG - Skyrim, Dragon Age, Dragon’s Dogma - the ‘two swords’ plus a limited range of magical options will frustrate some. You cannot build a true ‘mage’ character for example - but, then again, this derives from the lore of the game. It’s a little like God of War combat in an open-world RPG setting, so one can appreciate why it could potentially alienate both camps. Similarly, lock-on and camera can be an issue in combat situations, and combat can, on average difficulty settings, devolve to ‘drink potion, apply oil, block, hack, block, hack etc’. I can see why aficionados could, in theory, go as low as 6/10 or 7/10 for this element.

    Customisation/Levelling etc: This will appear limited to some. It takes longer than in most games to increase level (especially for earlier level-ups - though this is partly mitigated by the ‘places of power’ option); and many of the upgrades are rather boring ‘increase this factor/attribute by 5%’ etc.

    Alchemy/Upgrades: Alchemy is more complex than in many similar games (requiring one to create ‘sub’-ingredients even before one can then craft - though this is partly mitigated by the ‘once learnt, replenish via alcohol’ mechanism). Conversely, weapon and armour upgrading is pretty limited, especially compared to, say, DA Inquisition.

    One could go on… But, even the harshest critic, who saw each of the above in the most negative light, would struggle objectively to justify lower than 7/10 overall, and so I do wonder on what possible basis some have given this game a 0/10 or 2/10…    … Expand

    Wonderful game, the more i played the game the more i feel the deep of the game story. I never get into an RPG game so much, but The Witcher 3 make me stay to play more than an hours, only to find an ingredients for crafting.

    But what i'm concern is, the action camera. Feels awkward.

    A great open world game, but severely let down by reptitive side quests that are meaningless and as a result bad pacing in terms of the main story. But the world is rich and full of detail, for any open world fans this is a must play, for those wanting a shorter and linear experience I would stay away as this game is easily 50 hours +

I found almost every time I got something 'high leveled and moddable', it was many levels under what I was at at the time. Fairly important issue really, for a game like this, redundant loot. However it definitely wasn't enough of a prob to detract too much from the experience. A less serious but still important issue I had with the game, was being restricted to one love interest if you wish to succeed at an ongoing in game relationship. It's one or the other, female only, which i found restrictive and too traditional. I mean come on, in this day and age. Sure it should''ve been hard to pull off, but it defo should have been an option to suceesfully get it on with both your love ineterests on a permanent basis. Failllllllll... ;)

    I've already purchased the expansion and have Geralt decked out with Mastercrated Wolven gear ready and waiting.

    TLDR:
    + 100 plus hours of fun. Incredible value.
    + Countless useful potions and mods offer a plethora of effects and options in approaching battles.
    + Interesting story and real consequences for many of the protagonist Geralts in game actions.
    + Enjoyable combat that can be easy or complex depending on the player.

    - Disappointing loot scaling may have you getting underpowered gear far too often
    - Roche (your in game horse), is often spawned behind you and in annoying places
    - No three way option with your two in game love interests    … Expand

The game is enjoyable, but the character movements feel very unnatural and fast compared to what they should be which makes handling the guy worse than it should feel. Other than that it's a great game with several of hundreds gameplay.

    Probably never before i was captivated by open world then in this game. It is huge. And i mean HUGE! There a tons of activities, and every one of them is interesting, it keeps you going further, explore and etc. Gameplay is outstanding. Fights are incredibly done, they are brutal, so as this world. Graphics are amazing. Music! What a score and especially during battles - great stuff. Voice acting was superb by all involved. Just to thing how much effort was put into creating every single thing and detail in this game is mind blowing. To be honest i wasn't a fan of "Witcher II", haven't even played the first one. But after finishing "Wild Hunt" i can safely say - count me in for (hopefuly) next installments. This is simply one of the very best games ever created.

    Overall, "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt" is a masterpiece. I do not use this word usually, but in this case it is the one that perfectly summarize this experience. Own this game no matter what genres do you prefer - this is a perfect game for everyone.

    The Witcher III is an incredible experience that will keep you playing for hours. It´s graphics, though quite buggy can be amazing. The story is also pretty interesting and it has a ton of different characters. The style of combat is spectacular and there are tons of weapons and objects to use in battle. The title is kind of an interesting mix of the medieval ages and sci-fi.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the games that forces you to make very difficult choices that will affect to the story and how everything really ends. There will be many stories going and how you handle things will direct events to certain directions. Time to time, these events fold after so long time, that there is no point to load previous save, you just have to live with your choices... and that is what makes the story, so good.

    Story in Witcher 3 is larger than the world where Geralt of Rivia travels. World is large and filled with activities. Main story is only one thing, there is so many contracts and side missions that you will be playing for a long time and probably more than once if you are anything like me.

    Story is not only thing that is great. Combat is very well made and there is many variables in it. Swordmanship is only one of them and player is free to chooce, whatkind of witcher Geralt will be. Combat is engaging and fun, it gives a challenge and feels very fluent.

    Characters are often fairly decent, but those characters that matter much more, and much better. Triss Merigold, Yennefer, Ciri, Emhyr and Eredin are each very well made. They look good and voiced as good. They are characters you grow to like or hate during the long story and many hard choices. Many choices can't please everyone and you can't have everything, but that is the name of the game, you have to choose.

    One thing that makes Witcher series much better than several other fantasy games, is the fact that this one is really an adult game. This world is filled with violence, sex, racism, blood and monsters. You can be good or bad or both, it is all up to you.
    Game censors some parts, but adult themes are there and that is what makes the difference. Some love scenes are artistically covered, but the fact is that if you want to go to brothel, no one is stopping you. Same goes to violence. If you want, you can solve all problems with fists rather than words.

    Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is best game of the series and it is masterfully made story game, RPG game, action game, fantasy game and well, game. Witcher 3 is with no doubt one the best (if not "the best") game of 2015.

    I wanted so badly give a 10 for this one. But I just simply can't. Let's see why.
    The game does so many things right, like many have said it before me. It' great.
    I love the setting, combat is awesome and the difficulty is just right (death march). If you prepare and know what you are doing, it is almost easy. If you do not take combat seriously, do not use potions / oils / decotions, forget to dodge or parry, you die in seconds. I love the combat.
    The story is very good, the quests are awesome, none of them are the same, the witcher contracts maybe a little repetitive, but not so much and I enjoyed all and every one of them.
    And the little things where imho W3 is shining the most. For example: slayed enemies loot is on the map, lootable containers are highlighted, route to the next objective on the map, books, tons of background info, living cities, dudes go even to sleep and **** Awesome.
    I love, that my actions have consequences. I love, that some quests have no good endings, just worse or even worse.
    But the best part is in my opinion, ***** SPOILER ALERT! ***** how you help Ciri grow as a person (if you do it right) and in the end, how it saves her life. Priceless. SPOILER OVER.
    But there are some things, I can not accept, even some things I hate. What are those? Let's see.
    1. Gwent. I hate it. Simple is that. Right now i am in my second run, death march. I am the kind of guy, who loves get all of the trophies / achievements of a game, IF the game is good / awesome. This one is. Then why the F must i play gwent?!?! I signed up for an adventure, not virtual poker crappy.
    2. Missable trophies / achievements. Come on, guys! Not cool.
    3. Geralt Glassbones. Enough said.
    4. ****ty camera. Died many times, because in the heat of the combat, the camera showed the wall, or the treetops. Really frequently happens indoors. In death march you are 3-4 hits. And ... You are gone. Then you can "enjoy" the ~90 sec loading time.
    5. Loading time. Just too much.
    6. F*ing Finneas on death march. Amateur, disappointing game balance problem. Harder than a griffin, harder than cyclops or a forktail, well anything I encountered so far. Come on! Just WHY ?!? Make no mistake, I going to beat him, just makes a 1000 pound monster a joke. Or 10 bandit. Or a smaller army.
    OR, dear developers, You could have name him Chuck Norris, this way it is completely understandable, why he is harder, than a f*ing dragon.

    As You could have guessed, my dear reader, right now I am at Mr. Overpowered Finneas. If I give in to my anger, this would be a big fat 0. Or -10. But this game is really awesome, especially the Ciri parts, and her growth, but this is not a perfect game. Awesome one, with flaws. Without the whole gwent **** I would have gave it a 9. Right now this is 8. For me. Still, go and buy it, because Witcher 3 is still better than almost all other games nowadays. Cheers.
    Ps.: oh yeah, stupid horse :)    … Expand

I stopped playing it on purpose because I decided that I would wait until the final dlc and until I had read all the books. Yes!!! I love this game so much that I have been reading the books to familiarise myself with the lore a lot better. I had never played the first game and I never got into the second one, but the wild hunt hooked into me deeply. It is not a game. It's another world, alive and full of thoughts and emotions that just suck you in. It has raised the standards for rpg games so high that I don't think it will ever be matched. This game was made with pure love from cdprojeckt which I think is the secret of its success. If you haven't bought it yet, then slap yourself for being a fool and buy your copy now.… Expand

A near masterpiece which facilitates any type of player that's hoping to invest a *ton* of hours into a phenomenal story which takes you on a beautiful journey and really tugs at your heart strings. CDPR have done Andrzej Sapkowski's (Creator of Witcher series) work complete justice. The sheer detail present in the world's diverse landscape, complexity of characters and nuanced decision-making with *significant* consequences are all cutting edge progressions in gaming. After what CDPR has brought to the table, I think people will no longer accept lazy writing and meaningless black and white role-playing from developers, which is a win for everyone.

    You don't have to have played 1 and 2 or read the novels to enjoy this game as I know many who played it this way and loved it. The game delivers easy access to lore and backstory into the earlier games and Sapkowski's universe throughout. That said, the novels (which all take place right before the first Witcher game) are amazing in their own right and I would recommend playing Witcher 1 and certainly Witcher 2 (also brilliant), just for the maximum experience. Furthermore, if you are the type of gamer who complains that the Last of Us is 'too much like a movie', then you might not enjoy this game, as it is very story driven. 100% completion of this game probably requires 150 hours gameplay and 50 hours of cinematic cut scenes and dialogue, give or take. Anyway, to rate w3 pros and cons:

    Main Story: 10/10 - Everything has already been said praising this aspect of the game. Draws more familiarity and lore from the novels than 1 and 2. All in all, brilliant writing,

    Characters: 10/10 - Introduces notable characters from the novels, many completely new and some brilliant reappearances from the 2 earlier instalments. Nearly all major characters have dynamic personalities and will become very memorable, even long after you finish the game.

    Combat: 8/10 - Better than your average hack n slash button mashing, especially on the harder difficulties which I recommend playing on. Can get repetitive after a while though.

    Graphics: 10/10
    Side Quests: 10/10
    Exploration: 9/10
    Player choice: 10/10
    Dialogue/voice acting: 10/10
    Soundtrack: 10/10
    Crafting/Alchemy: 9/10

    As for the cons:
    -There is a few minor bugs and glitches that pop up through the game which can be irritating
    -The hundreds of supply caches in Skellige is rather lazy imo, reminds me of ubisoft
    -Looting system is rather hit and miss. Lots of diverse and useful items for crafting and alchemy but the level scaling means rare weapons/armour you find are often below your level and therefore pointless.

    Generally speaking, the negative things i discovered were really minor and hardly detracted anything from the overall magnificence of the game. In reality, I would give this game a 9.5, but I would say it's closer to a 10 than a 9. Now, I await Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.    … Expand

    Now, the only reason I have waited on buying this game for so long was that I thought I could not understand the story, and I was wrong again! The story is wonderfully explained and pulls you in (and you have the sudden desire to become a witcher and even start trying out the Signs [or spells] in private to see if they can work!)

    The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 was because I am not a big fan of the weapon degradation system, and I feel that adding the option to disable it would be brilliant. (This is not that annoying though, and doesn't take away from the game too much)

    First, the game is LOADED with boring sub-plots and cut scenes. It’s okay though because you can skim the subtitles and skip through the cut scenes fairly easily without much risk of missing critical information. So I guess that gives players the flexibility to pay as much or as little attention to the plots as they want.

    Second, the world seems to be divided into several areas for purposes of loading into RAM. But often you have to jump back and forth between these areas, and it gets annoying repeatedly having to view the same comic-book-like cut screen and monologue while an area loads.

    Finally, most of the skills are worthless relative to other skills. If you experiment with all the skills, it becomes pretty obvious what the “best” skills are to improve. So, if you re-allocate your points (which is possible using a potion) to the best skills, you become virtually invincible. At that point, you’re just playing through the story without any realistic challenge.

    Overall 10/10. Just get it.    … Expand

Soundtrack and voices are also excellent, and the plot is good (although too slow). You can choose the dialogues like in Mass Effect or you can go straight to the main dialogues if you want. Sometimes you feel like a detective, like in L.A. Noire. The first thing I did was to low the joysticks sensitivity from 1 to 0'8. My complaints are: the tiny letters (lucky me I've a huge tv and I don't have much problem), another thing is that when you jump or fall from not so high places you lose health, the last thing to mention would be that sometimes you feel that the story advance too slow. If you like rpgs you're gonna love it. If you like games with only action and more action maybe this is not you're kind of game. To sum up, I think this game has taken all the good things from other games and have made it a must have. Advices: stick to the main missions unless you want to raise your level or you feel to do this or that sidequest. The only sidequests that I'd recommend you to do would be the ones related with main characters. About magic, I normally used the Quen sign, but you can use whatever you want. I'd recommend to improve the Axia sign if you want to save some money, and do horse races to improve your horse and have more room for your things. It probalby took me 60 hours or so. About sidequets, there are some of them that will be cancel at some point if you don't complete them and you only go for the main missions, still, you don't know which ones are so, I wouldn't worry too much. Now that I've finished this game I'll probably do a couple of high level sidequests or hunts and that's all.… Expand

And it has a stain on it and they say "oh that's from salsa" but dude, that's not a salsa stain. Seriously, Gamestop, if you ever read this, do some sort of trade-out cross-promotion with Febreze in your stores.

    So uh, Witcher 3. Good game. And, look, I'm going to judge the game based on what I am: a middle-aged guy with other things to do. Like, lots of other things, like a job and my second degree that I'm working on and a lawn and yelling at neighbor kids who ride their bikes on my lawn and stuff. Yeah, I don't care if it's just a corner of my lawn, Christ. Ride out in the goddamn street. Where were you kids born, Jerusalem?

    Anyway. So here's what I like about Witcher 3:

    Graphics are stunning. Some of the most enjoyable moments are standing in the wilderness, slowly panning the camera around Geralt, looking at the scenery. Wind blowing through his majestic hair. Under your breath, mumbling, "nerr nerr nerr NERRRR nerr nerrr nerr NAAH NERR NUUHNNN." That's the intro to Creed's "My Sacrifice" by the way. Maybe you weren't actually doing this but I was. Not because I thought it was a good song but, you know, stuff gets caught in your head sometimes. Look, shut up.

    And uh. Actually the graphics were the only thing I REALLY liked about this game. Yeah hey, look, no, I know. The story is really in-depth, the map is MASSIVE. Attention to detail, 10/10. But this is a game for people who can plunge into the experience and stay there for hours and hours or days on end. This isn't a criticism of the game, but if you're reading this and you're a 40-ish dude (but I'm sure you could totally pull of early 30s, really) with a bunch of other obligations, you need to know you're not going to appreciate this the same way ol' Weedy Joe in Colorado can during his 48 hour Doritos-Sponsored WitcherBingers.

    No, instead I found myself loading it up after a long workday, after my workout routine, after doing homework, and then spending the first half-hour trying to remind myself what armor and swords were on my to-do list to upgrade, and then figuring out which main quest or side quest I wanted to pursue. Right about that time it suddenly occurred to me it was about time to go the hell to bed because I had to wake up at 5am for work because somewhere in the past decade or so, against my realistic wishes, I became a goddamn adult.

    Look, it happens. You don't mean it to. You want to pretend you'll always be the version of yourself that can load a bowl with one hand and build a TF2 sentry with the other with seamless beauty. But you won't, man.

    You just won't.

    So for most of you, hit it. Enjoy. Sally-effing-forth. But for me, this game was too big, too much. Dare I say: Too Good. I'll still give it an 8 though.

    Also, why does everything that Geralt yells at his horse sound like softcore porn? SUH-LOOWWW NOW. UHHHHH. FASTER!! THESE FEELINGS DEEP DOWN, THEY A-SCARE-A ME, SWEET THANG. It's weird. It's just weird, I tell you.    … Expand

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 isThe 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

Novigrad is the city which offers humorous quests and easy contracts to earn money from, then there's Velen which is infested with monsters and bandits. The most populated areas are small villages and is mostly just woods. All of them are included in the long main story. I strongly recommend this game to anyone who likes free roaming games and RPG's.… Expand

    One of the best games to this date. The graphics, the details, the world is simply breathtaking. Each side quests more detailed than the last. Each play through different than the last due to the vast amount of choices you get to make in the game. CD Projekt Red never fails to deliver. Any RPG fan should consider themselves lucky to be born in time to play The Witcher 3.

    This was by far my favourite game of 2015. The story is interesting, the world is beautifully detailed, and there is a whole bunch of things to do over the course of the game (perhaps a bit too much even). The open world, in terms of size, is huge and littered with things to do. From fighting varied monsters to completing Witcher contracts, I found it very difficult to be bored with this game.

    1. Cuando compre el juego y lo abrí me lleve una sorpresa que no me esperaba. Me dieron un mapa, un CD de banda sonora, un panfleto que explicaba varios aspectos del mundo de the witcher, la verdad fue mi primera experiencia en un juego de RPG en consola. Además escondido entre todo eso había una nota de agradecimiento por parte de CDProjektRED STUDIO.
    2. Una excelente banda sonora
    3. Las mejores misiones secundarias de cualquier juego que haya jugado. Misiones secundarias y terciarias que tienen una historia más profunda que muchos juegos que he jugado y que después cuando pasabas por el lugar de donde hiciste esa misión secundaria veías las consecuencias de la decisión que tomaste respecto a esa zona.
    4. Las decisiones en el juego tenían bastante peso y de verdad te sentías eligiendo.
    5. Me encanto el universo de The Witcher: las brujas, monstruos, humanos, hombres lobo, vampiros, almas, fantasmas, aberraciones, historias, armas, personajes, etc.
    6. La historia principal es excelente, me encantó Ciri uno de los personajes centrales o casi el personaje central en la historia, la sentí viva y que cada decisión buena o mala que tomará podría afectarla
    7. Me encantaron los enemigos y la forma en que me los presentaron: las historias que me mostraban detrás de ellos, la forma en que me podía enfrentar a ellos, que les hacía daño, que poderes podía usar, etc
    8. Gráficas vivas acorde con los sonidos, por ejemplo cuando estás en un bosque el sonido que hace el viento sobre la grama se siente como si estuvieras ahí.
    9. Te dan ganas de jugarlo una y otra vez
    10. Los mejores DLC que han salido en un juego de PS4
    Contras: Mal sistema de niveles por ejemplo un enano que debería ser facilito matarlo aparecen muchas veces en un nivel superior por ejemplo 30 y es capaz de matarte de un golpe, mientras que un basilisco es de menor nivel y más fácil matarlo, no tiene mucho sentido la verdad. Otro es que debió haber sido el protagonista un aprendiz o algo así que uno sienta que esta subiendo de nivel porque Geralt de nivel 1 se siente como si fuera el mismo Geralt en nivel 40 sin cambios con la misma sabiduría. Por último los objetos son un desorden en el menú, muchísimos objetos que no sabes si te servirán o no, demasiados parecido al sistema de fallout 4 con un monton decosas que tienen y no tienen utilidad porque te podrían servir para hacer una armadura o crear una poción pero hacen ver desorganizado el menú. Cuando consigues una nueva arma que se ve superior es porque el sistema le subió unos puntos de ataque y de características, siempre encuentras una espada mejor que la anterior. No hay nada de multijugador pero eso a quien le importa la verdad.
    Las contras son estupideces al lado del gran juego, lo recomiendo mil veces así después me digan que no les gusto, es un juego buenísimo y que merece ser mencionado entre los mejores de la historia.    … Expand

The main quest is an ambitious adventure involving numerous characters through-out various regions, and the side-quests are equally engaging.

    With that said, I've docked 1 point for the following reasons:

    - The swimming mechanics and close-quarters combat are clumsy and glitchy at times.
    - The main character has no personality, and speaks every word of dialogue in a painfully monotone voice.
    - You may be disappointed if you're looking for the endless thrills of a GTA-style sandbox. Once the story and various side-quests are completed, its replay value diminishes much quicker than higher-octane sandbox titles.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    The game is absolutely massive. Even if all you do is the main story, you'll roam all across the map, sail across the sea, see many different and amazing things.

    This game is brilliant. The quests are interesting, and the cut scenes are cinematic quality...and there are TONS of them with great dialogue. The combat excellent, and there's a lot of interesting stuff that you find if you jump off the trail and just explore around

    Amazing game, it is the best RPG in recent years. It is an amazing story and unforgettable atmosphere of the dark fantasy. I like open world is very large and comfortable, also the characters are very natural and colorful.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a masterpiece & an icon of video games    … Expand

    True Score: 9.3

    Pros:
    - Incredible Story
    - Some of the best sidequests ever
    - Gwent is extremely fun
    - Meaningful choices

    Cons:
    - Equipment system is a bit silly since you will only end up using the Witcher Equipment
    - The way through which your ending is determined is obtuse
    - Combat is broken and one dimensional

    Simplesmente um dos melhores jogos da geração, o mundo aberto é impressionante pois é muito rico e vivo, a história do jogo é muito bem contada e recheada de personagens marcantes, as side quests são muito bem trabalhadas e até parecem missões principais, os detalhes também são muito impressionantes as texturas são incriveis, por fim esse jogo é um MASTERPIECE

    The conclusion of Geralt’s game saga couldn’t be better. The large open world, great storytelling and dozens of hours of pure fun – this game is an absolute must for every RPG fan. [Issue#253]

    This truly outstanding game raises the bar to new heights that will be extremely hard to reach for BioWare, Bethesda and any other developer. [07/2015, p.38]

    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.
