    What else to say,easily one of the best games ever. I wasn't the fan of long lasting rpg games,but Witcher is different.It always keeps you wanting more and more..You will have lots and lots of hours of fun.Side quests are good,and the characters are not forgettable,which is good.Witcher is set in a beatiful place.This game is a must have.

    Where to start, this game is incredible and to me has set the bar insanely high for western rpgs, I genuinely can't fault it, combat, story, locations, side quests, hunts, atmosphere, music, everything is amazing, easily one of my top 5 games ever, love it! Even the dlcs are amazing like full games themselves, can't recommend this enough

    Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's high point is in the quality of its story and its well written quests. It truly succeeds in presenting well thought out quests with well written characters who you grow to care about.

    That being said, to give this game higher than an 8/10 I feel would be to overlook some of its more major flaws.

    That being said, to give this game higher than an 8/10 I feel would be to overlook some of its more major flaws. The game packs a more expansive experience than other Western RPGs, but after playing it for a while you'll notice how the game loses some of its potency in the process. Unlike Skyrim and Fallout games, which set quests far off in still as of yet unexplored lands, the quests in this game more often than not involve you fetching items some 100 yards away, or running 50 yards away to smash a button against a somewhat underwhelming beast. To add to the banality of the experience, the quests often use the same sort of structure with different characters substituted in. This results in an eventual boredom with the game that isn't helped by the uneventful, button smashing combat system.

    Another flaw about this game is in the fickleness of its controls. A lot of the time the Witcher will be standing right next to an item that for some reason he cannot grab despite your pressing the pop-up button. The lock-on system in combat is also unnecessarily problematic. The game eventually dissimilates into a choice machine supplemented by short stints of boring combat.

    All in all, the good features of this game need hardly be repeated. However, it does seem to be a somewhat overrated game, especially taking into account its inability to provide compelling combat gameplay.    … Expand

    BUT... it's not 10/10. This is a flawed game. Obviously all games have flaws, but to my mind if you barely notice the flaws first time (because you're immersed, engaged or having too much fun) then such flaws are negligible; sadly that isn't true of The Witcher.
    Some of the flaws are minor but frequent. Glitches are common. The inventory system is terrible. The UI for many game mechanics is counter-intuitive and never explained in-game. The combat is detailed but not that satisfying (for a game about being a master swordsman/fighter there really isn't enough impact to the combat).
    The biggest flaw here, however, is that this game really needs an editor. I love how much content there is, but often it feels padded. A lot of missions involve a cut scene, walking 50m, another cut scene, another brief bit of walking... There are times where it is effective and immersive to make the player do everything (like early on when preparing to meet [an important figure]), but often this stuttering approach to storytelling happens even at dramatic moments of the plot and it kills the pacing. (It doesn't help that cut scenes are often exposition heavy and delivered at length between 2 characters with a couple of fixed camera angles.) Side quests based around a single gag or interesting idea may turn out to take far longer than is interesting due to additional fetch quests, tracking missions and some generic fights. It all just needed a ruthless editor to keep pacing alive and side quests free from bloat.
    Compounding this editing problem is a subtle failing of game design: most games give thought to play sessions but the disrupted pacing means the end of a plot section can always be anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour away with no way to tell. And good open world games attempt to signal to the player whether a side quest is a brief diversion or a whole extra chapter. The Witcher doesn't: there's no way to tell from the beginning whether a side quest will be a 5 minute diversion or a 2 hour sequence of events. As I say: I love the amount of content and the variety on offer. But a bit of editing and game design could've stopped that content from becoming a deluge of tasks I've missed, forgotten about or am now overlevelled for.

    TL:DR great game, worth playing, pacing and game design problems slightly spoil the greatness of the open world and storytelling.    … Expand

    Time flies while playing this game - and I thought I was not a huge fan of the style. They manage to build this game in a way that fosters exploration. There is a lot of stories and it's not a game just about killing monsters all the time. The balance between action/exploration/conversations is awesome!

    The game world itself is massive, the content is non other than exceptional and definitely sets the bar for an RPG, the quest system is great and the choices given can at times make you think.
    The game will easily sink you in for over 100+ hours and this is just mainly doing the story and a few additional quests and exploration activities here and there.

    A couple quick random things: If the atmosphere of a land at war containing all that comes from a brutal war bothers you then give this game some time before you drop it. I didn't like this at first but then after I gave it 5 or 6 hours I got used to it. Humor does show up now and then to give some    RPG lover here.

Also if you are like me and don't care to get stressed out while gaming, you can set the difficulty level at any time. If normal becomes too hard you can change it to easy at any point in the game. I loved this for when I wanted to just chill and lose myself in the story.

    This game was amazing all the way from character presentation and design to the writing. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is that some of the side quests get repetitive(go to X...follow trail using witcher senses to Y...etc). Also dialog options with key NPCs were limited. Games like Dragon Age Inquisition had a lot of dialog options with key NPCs and it helped to connect the players with the characters more. The Witcher 3 does not necessarily suffer from this, especially if you've played the previous games or read the books but for someone new to the series it may have helped to have some more dialog options to connect them more to the characters. In the game they portrayed Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, and Triss very much like the books do. I recommend reading the books before or while playing this game as there are some story lines that you'll get that you wouldn't get if you hadn't read the books.

    Combat: honestly, I don't care. It's not my personal interest although some people are really into to it so from what I could tell on easy and normal settings it was fun. There are other reviews that'll go deeper into this for those interested.

    Crafting and inventory management were not as tedious as some games but complex enough to satisfy the CRPG fan in me.

    DLCs for the most part are free so make sure to download them. The Expansions such as Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are not free but reasonably priced. I played through both and didn't find them as fun as the main story. If you are a huge Witcher fan you'll want to play them, if not I'd recommend doing a second play through the main game.

    This is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. It was fun to be Geralt of Rivia for the 60+ hours it took to finish the game. I recommend it to any RPG fan or anyone wanting to step into the genre(although it will give you unreasonably high expectations for every other game).    … Expand

One I liked more, the other less, some frustrated me, and yet others pulled in enough that after a few years I even came back to them. Many of the hits I din't even play and probably that will never change. I can think of myself as a fan of rpg and I can not properly dress in words, HOW MUCH DID I HATE CD PROJEKT RED FOR THE WITCHER 3

    The announcements were boisterous, conferences, interviews and marketing were thought out, even the slow and fueling cinematics made me feel impressed. I live in this world for too long to be immune to omnipresent hype. So I waited, since the May premiere I closed in a tight cage of internet ignorance. I have not read, watched, and looked at a single: review, rating, comment, and opinion on the latest CDP production. I persisted for 3 months, and believe me it was not easy, I finally bought it and played it. (on a PS4 btw).

    What were my feelings, impressions, opinions? The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt pulled me in my chair so deep that almost for a month I became an antisocial zombie. During the game, I wanted to check the next marker, discover what is behind the next rock, river, hill, ect. Discovering another entrance to the cave led to the same excitement as when I saw a Christmas tree surrounded by gifts. Many times during my trip with Geralt I stopped to watch the breathtaking views. During breaks from The Witcher, I wondered how the story of Geralt and Ciri would unfold, how the fate of Velen, Novigrad and Skellige will resolve, and whether I made good decision. Many times I wondered if I was ready to defeat this monster who had mercilessly dumped me last time ...
    Okay, last seven times. The marker still shows that I am weaker than him, (and with this level cacan't beat him or it), but maybe this time it's possible (in the rhythm of great music during the fight) I will be able to do it. In short, The Witcher 3 dragged me into it's world without a doubt.

    So why I hate the Reds and their latest production? CD Projekt released his latest child, and unknowingly done a great harm to many players. They lifted the bar too high. Maybe I'm in the minority, but when I decided to play the Witcher I robbed myself of those things that would make me happy playing any other productions. I will unintentionally compare them to the latest Witcher, and the winner of this battle will be known before it starts.

    Is it perfect? Of course not, there is no such thing as a prefect game. But it's essential in every gamers collection.    … Expand

The fights, the minigames, the plenty of side quests that feels like a main story either, the 36 endings that this games offers makes it for me the best game I've played so far.

    BEST GAME EVER!!! Graphics, story, music and sounds effects are perfect. Even some unexpected reactions from folk based on earlier actions are very nice.

    The downside of this game: it wil ruin all the other games!! No other game can compete with this one, even Zelda Breath of the wild.

    I’m not that into fantasy, but the Witcher 3 will captivate you regardless of genre. It’s a better story than Game of Thrones. The writing amazingly remains remarkably fresh well over 100 hours. Not quite the craftsmanship that Naughty Dog brings to the table in realism of performance, but the way stories unfold keeps you on your toes, feels organic, balanced, and incredibly dynamic.

    However, I am then shat on by the game's movement system and weird combat issues I have. My issues concern the difficulty and mechanical problems that I have.

    The movement has been annoying so many times that I've learned to just accept it and move on. So for me, this makes the game feel not very fun with the amount of traveling you do. I abhor the swimming and underwater sections. Your horse seems to just perform a full stop over a small rock, or a sharp turn on trees, or fences whose actual space in the world affects the riding mechanic.

    I've played on Death March. So many people advertise this as the correct way to the play the game. For me, it ended up being a sponge-fest of prepping for the battles when there were a lot of enemies (spam them with bombs), or a big boss fight whose A.I I haven't triggered yet (alchemy and signs). It all blended into Quen, using the same potions and oils. Wait for my moment and attack when necessary. It was good the first hour, it then became repetitive and routine.

    The story and characters were what made it all worthwhile in the end. That is essentially the only good thing about this game for me.

    It's a solid story on top of a base that is ready to crumble and crack based on my experiences. So for me, the game is above average. That is because of what you will be spending most of your time doing, which is exploring and doing quests.    … Expand

    Great game! Why 9. Basically there are two things
    1. As an RPG, Witcher 2 is a better game, and I am not talking about mechanics or the graphic, but rather the story progression and choices.
    2. In the end, there were nothing mentioned about side characters like Roche, other witchers etc. What happened to them after? This one was a big disappointment for me. So 9, not 10.

    Despite some meaty flaws, this game overcomes all its shortcomings to provide a phenomenal story.

Es besticht durch enorm hohe Questqualität sowie erzählerische Klasse inklusive direkter sowie erst später wirksamer Konsequenzen, die einen immer wieder überraschen oder entsetzen. Ja, es gibt Kontrapunkte: Dass es auf Diebstahl in den Häusern der Leute keinerlei Reaktion gibt, ist für mich sogar noch ärgerlicher als die dämliche Statik menschlicher Feinde bei Beschuss. Das Menüdesign ist fade, die Schrift zu klein, die Dialoge nicht besonders verschachtelt, das Inventar schnell überfüllt und es gibt kleine technische Macken. Aber da ist die ausgezeichnete deutsche Sprachausgabe, das klasse Drehbuch, dem eben nicht wie in The Witcher 2 gegen Ende die Luft ausgeht. Es gelingt den Polen nicht nur sehr gut, eine mittelalterliche Fantasywelt zu zeigen, die von militärischen und sozialen Konflikten geprägt ist und voller moralischer Widersprüche steckt. Hinzu kommt diese fast schon verblüffende Hingabe in der Inszenierung dörflicher Milieus sowie der großen Stadt Novigrad. Es macht einfach Spaß, nur ganz langsam durch diese Welt zu spazieren. Wenn man davon genug hat, stürzt man sich in die nächste dramatische Quest, in der man über das Schicksal tragischer Gestalten entscheidet, oder man jagt in Traumkulisse mythische Ungetüme.

The storytelling is brilliant and the content of main missions + side quests and collectables is massive. You can build you character skillset as you like, craft pretty much anything and explore pretty much anywhere. There’s many, many hours of fun packed into this open-world stunner.

    One of my favourite moments of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is when you fight monsters so tough that you really need to study them closely (in the bestiary) to out play them. It’s both so frustrating bot so rewarding when you finally conquer evil. Witcher 3 has found the perfect balance of really providing a very fun and addictive game together with being a true challenge that forces you to get deep into the game mechanics. As it’s supposed to be!

    You can create potions, oils and bombs to help you in battle. What didn’t work in RDR in relation to collecting a lot of stuff with nothing to use it for, works really well here. You can feel that CD Project Red has really thought everything very much through and made no shortcuts.

    I get amazed every time I play this game by the massiveness of it, by the game mechanics, by the well told storyline and by the beautiful sights around the diverse landscapes. I’ve taken SO MANY screenshots of beautiful mountain, city or ocean scenery etc. I love this game!

    Last but not least, when you buy the game in a box, CD Project Red gives both stickers and a letter of thanksgiving for buying their game. From start to finish you feel the love and effort this team has put into this beauty of a video game. One of the best ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First I want to start by saying that I liked the game and I recommend it. However the game is overrated. First the main plot has no urgency, at one point in Valen I had no idea what the main plot was, the bad guys are all dark and stuff but they never seem actually threatening. Interest points are mostly useless as well as most treasures and even weapons you get as rewards, game mechanics for tracking get boring after you use them 100 times, some quests have been written poorly by someone who does not appear to have read a book in his/her life - mostly are ok though, skillege as an area was particularly lacking in story quality and was a pain to complete but not do to difficulty cause the game even on the hardest difficulty is incredibly easy and boss fight mechanics lack luster. I would give it 7/10
    However if you play the expansions the game is totally different, it looks like a totally different team has written the quests, more mature and richer, boss fights with actual mechanic and difficulty, moral choices that made me go back and do them differently because the more I thought about them the more it made me think about what I perceive as good or bad. The expansion itself is as close to 10/10 it can be.

    Absolutely great game! The world is huge, deep, and beautiful! The storytelling is great like the books the game is based on. The missions have a meaningful feel; not just a lot of repetitive fetch quests. The combat system is fun and the progression system is done in a meaningful way. The voice acting is awesome! I played the game for the first time inb 2018, and it is still great! CDAbsolutely great game! The world is huge, deep, and beautiful! The storytelling is great like the books the game is based on.

    The Wild Hunt story is finishing off the trilogy of the Witcher series in a very interesting way. Unlike most third entries you are not required to have had played the first two to understand what is going on. Much like in the books containing Geralt; this game is a continuation and a self contained story all in one. So for those of you that missed The Witcher 1, and 2 fear not this gameThe Wild Hunt story is finishing off the trilogy of the Witcher series in a very interesting way. Unlike most third entries you are not required to have had played the first two to understand what is going on. Much like in the books containing Geralt; this game is a continuation and a self contained story all in one. So for those of you that missed The Witcher 1, and 2 fear not this game will be just as enjoyable. The story is about Geralt (who is a monster hunter) tracking down his surrogate daughter Ciri to save her from The Wild Hunt. That is the base premise believe me there is so much that I won't mention to keep those who haven't gotten it to have a fresh untainted experience. This game actually made me not only care about the characters but feel an array of emotions. I felt anger with the antagonist, laughter, bloodlust, and hell I even got teary eyed in a couple of scenes. This game has such great writing and storytelling. The game has multiple ending based off decisions you make throughout the game. My friend and I were playing the game to see who'd finish first and we'd discuss what'd happen in our stories. He had killed people I didn't, and I had done certain missions complete opposite than what he had done. This is grade A storytelling and it makes me wish that most third entries in games could have this kind of finish.

    The game is the best looking game out on the new generation of consoles. This world looks alive and feels alive. It will actually change over time due to the choices you make. The game is a work of art come to life. For those of you that have some blood lust; The Witcher 3 has you covered. Chopping off heads, and cleaving bodies in two has never been a beautiful as it is now. The game sound is fantastic. The game is all fully voice acted with each actor sounding like a professional. While Geralt character has a monotone (his character isn't supposed to have emotions) the voice actor still some how manages to convey emotions, and tones while still keeping this gravelly monotone voice.

    The gameplay is what I've been looking for in a fantasy game. When you are fighting with a sword it seems very realistic. While you the player may be jamming on the square button, Geralt is doing the art of water dancing. He is doing these low cuts, high cuts spin moves, it is truly something just to watch him fight. On normal the game is the exact amount of challenge I love in games. It keeps you on your toes, while not being stupid hard. The fact not every enemy can be beaten by your sword alone. Each enemy has a certain weakness to blade oils, magic signs or perhaps just a good ole fashion bombs. In doing that the game never feels repetitive in the slightest. The game has a open world like Skyrim, but with it constantly changing and new mission that are all unique in every way you will have over 100 hours of top notch gameplay here.

    Overall the game is perfect. I really have no issues with this game at all. It would melt away hours for me and when I wasn't playing it I would think about the game. CD Projekt Red is my favorite developer for creating such an experience with this series. If you were on the fence about this game I urge you to find any way to play it; whether it be beg borrow or steal just get your hands on this. I give this a 5/5. I'm a bit sad I now must move on from this game. I of course leave with a question. What are your favorite games of all time?    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 is a great game but I feel its greatness is overstated a bit. Yes it has some of the best quest writing in any game that has ever existed but it's combat is far too clunky and the game is way too glitchy to really be the greatest game ever like many people would have you believe.

Yes it has some of the best quest writing in any game that has ever existed but it's combat is far too clunky and the game is way too glitchy to really be the greatest game ever like many people would have you believe. Because of the slow movement that geralt is forced into when he engages in combat it makes positioning Geralt to feel clunky and over rely on dodging and quen to get out of harms way. If the game wanted to look realistic it could've still had Geralt in his stance but allow some freedom of movement anyway. This would make positioning more important like in games like Bloodborne for example. This game also has very little depth. Yes you have tons of bombs and oils that help in defeating monsters but Geralt never gets any new moves throughout the entire game. At least none that really change your playstyle in a meaningful way. Every weapon in the game has the same move set even if the weapon is completely different like a hatchet. it gets stale after awhile. Nevertheless the quest writing is superb and this game has a lot of great characters and world-building. So that alone is worth the price.… Expand

    Игра хорошая, но оптимизация на ps4 подвела, сама игра работает хорошо, но инвентарь работает отвратительно медленно
    Сюжет, геймплей и доп квесты твердая 9, но из за оптимизации на ps4 8 баллов

    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.
