    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.

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.

    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.

    The Witcher 3 is a phenomenal final installment to trilogy that has continued to amaze since its inception. 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
    The Witcher 3 is a phenomenal final installment to trilogy that has continued to amaze since its inception. 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

    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've played the game so many times and played both expansions as well, and I can say the only major problem with this master piece is the movement response. Geralt is light as hell.
    But the story is incredible, the content is so gorgeous. It's a master piece indeed.

    A fantastic game, one of the best RPG-s ever.
    The gameplay is disputed, many gamers saying that the controls and combat aren't so good, with an ok leveling system which will show you a little bit of the game's quests, but, at least to me, the bread and butter of this game is the story. The game makes you really feel like a witcher, with well detailed quests, activities and random events.

The game makes you really feel like a witcher, with well detailed quests, activities and random events. The map is large, with plenty of things to do, but, to be honest, it is a little buggy, mostly in the underwater shipwrecks. There is a variety of weapons and armor to collect and trade with the merchants in the game, which are well realised and plentyfull around the map. A variety of enemies also exists, making the game less repetitive than other RPG-s,avoiding reskining the enemies.
    A grand minus of the game is the underwater combat, which could have been much better,I would tell you more about it, but I will let you experience it yourself.
    Overall, you will enjoy the game, if you let its problems aside and focus on the overall experience.
    I played it at launch, but recently I replayed it on my ps4, and it is decent even now

Simple actions like riding or mounting the horse can be very frustrating. - Very easy

    - Very easy (I played in 'Blood and Broken Bones' difficulty, Please play on 'Death March' difficulty if you want to enjoy the combat).
    - The combat system is ok, but the enemies set of movements and AI is poor.
    - The story is quite poor till the last 5/6 hours of the game. It´s summarised in: Find this person. in order ot do so, you need to finde 20 people you don´t care about who ask you to find other people you care even less about.
    - The word looks quite simple and there is a lack of landscape variety.

    There's magic, swords, armour and a faithful horse. You will get to fall in love if you want to and engage in various carnal exploits if you so desire. Playing the popular card game Gwent will keep you entertained for hours, it's like having a fleshed out bonus game.

    Tonnes and tonnes of missions are available for you to get you teeth into which helps you level your character. You will also earn gold and be able to customise and upgrade your weapons, armour and the power of your magic.

    Whats more! There have been several add on's for Witcher 3 and these will also provide even more hours of entertainment in addition to the massive main quest line.

    If you like playing games like Skyrim or Dragon Age then I highly recommend this far superior addition to the RPG world.

    Some of the very best storytelling in an open-world game perhaps ever, but with shallow and often arbitrary gameplay that does not play to the game's strengths. I would absolutely rather this game have much better combat and navigation or be a Telltale style game that focuses 90% on the story because both would be better approaches than the "middle ground approach" the game currently takes.

    I played this game 2 years after it came out and I had no expectations going in since I didn't see any of the trailers, I never (and still haven't) played the old games and after watching gameplay of it I really wasn't sure about if it was for me. I was blown away by how everything comes together.

    Gameplay
    The gameplay is similar to most RPGs in terms of quests, loot and dialogue. The main difference is in combat at the 'Witcher Sense' mechanic.

    Tons of people had a lot of complaints about the combat system. I personally love it and it's a very refreshing combat system since I haven't played a game with a similar system. It strikes that perfect balance of complexity and simplicity. It takes a beginner to learn but a skilled player to master.

    Your 'Witcher Sense' adds a whole new layer to missions with it providing clues and a general sense of any nearby enemies. I don't know if they were in previous games but needless to say I'm a big fan of the system.

    Story/Missions
    The story is very well executed even though I feel it drags it out a bit too long (especially tracking down Ciri). The game took me around 40 hours to finish, this is with a healthy balance of doing story/side missions and getting collectables. The game really shines with it's characters with Geralt. Yeniffer and Ciri being the best. The relationship you build between these characters aren't ones you'll be forgetting anytime soon. The relationship between Geralt and Yeniffer is one of the best romances in games with Geralt and Triss not treading far behind. There are dozens of endings and I got the best one. This evokes a lot of replay value, this adds more bang for your buck with the content being well over 100 hours in length.

    Presentation
    The game looks damn beautiful, the 'Blood and Wine' expansion especially showcases this. Whilst there were downgrades from the gameplay shown at E3 you won't mind at all whilst playing since what is there is still gorgeous to feast your eyes upon.

    Technical Issues
    Whilst there was nothing game-breaking the issues I encountered were significant FPS drops in major areas like cities, villages and big battles. The game crashed for me three times during my two playthroughs, two of these took place in cities and the other occurred during a loading screen.

    Conclusion
    This game is damn near perfect and will be played and praised for generations to come. If CD Projekt Red can deliver this same quality in their upcoming title 'Cyberpunk 2077' we are in for something special. This game is definitely worth the retail price just off the main story alone, the rest is just gravy. It's for this reason that I'm giving this game a 9/10.

    The Witcher 3 is an enjoyable game, but it definitely has a few issues. The game world starts out alive and vibrant with clever storytelling, a memorable cast, scenic views, and music suited for an epic adventure.

The game world starts out alive and vibrant with clever storytelling, a memorable cast, scenic views, and music suited for an epic adventure. Before you reach the middle of the game, the player can start to notice recurring flaws that never seem to go away. Simply finding an item in the inventory can be frustrating because the menu responds slow and there is so much clutter in your bag space. Moving around in the game world can be clunky, as well. Geralt often gets stuck in awkward spots or doesn't do what you want him to do. Falling a meager 10 feet results in annoyingly weak death. In my playthrough, I completely stopped using the crossbow and bombs because the aiming was incredibly stiff. Now I must say that the boss fights were fun and satisfying, but most fights in the game can be won with brute force. I appreciated the diversity among enemy types and some were particularly interesting to read about. However, those harpies and sirens flew above me for minutes instead of decisively attacking, which was a waste of time and ruined the pace of the action. At the very end, I felt that the conclusion to this series was solid. 8/10. Expand

    Every bit of critical praise you've heard about this game is completely valid.

    The Witcher 3 has just about everything - an extremely compelling narrative, a solid character progression system, and many opportunities to make meaningful choices that affect your world. It is extremely engaging, and will grab hold of your attention without letting go. Of particular excellence are the number of shockingly interesting side quests, along with an open world that offers so many opportunities to explore and gain power, but is also able to be almost entirely ignored if you simply wish to focus on the narrative.

    Perhaps this game's sole flaw is its so-so combat and movement. Geralt, the game's main character, sometimes can feel a bit stiff to control, and combat, while not at all bad, seems to pale slightly in comparison to similar action RPGs. However, this feels like the only real area of criticism I can give this game beyond an understandable (and only slight) lack of replay value, in my opinion.

    As stated earlier, the Witcher 3 is phenomenal. If you have not played it, and want either a solid RPG or a gripping narrative, this should be at the top of your list.

    ahora bien hablemos del puto fuerte

    El guion de esto es increible, esta lleno de historias facinantes, las misiones secundarias lo unico que tienen de secundarias es el nombre, ya que la calidad de estas subtramas tienen es impecable, llegue haciendo muchas de estas sin darme cuenta que ni siquiera estaba avanzando en la historia principal, lo cual es increible.

    There are also disadvantages, they are related to the technical execution of the game, however, against the background of the high quality of everything else, they are less noticeable:
    - stupid AI NPCs, as a result, a huge number of NPCs in big cities (Novigrad, Tussent) ruins the immersion.
    - A small number of different faces in NPCs, as a result, twins are constantly found, which may seem absurd and misleading.
    - Least significant disadvantage: bugs, in fact, the presence of bugs in the open world games is normal, The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt is no exception in this regard.

    The open world is beautiful and very detailed, even secondary missions and quests aren't repetitive and have a story line of their own. Graphics are stunning and fights are epic.

Die Welt des Hexers ist neben Himmelsrand einer der schönsten Abenteuerspielplätze überhaupt. Allerdings solltet ihr euch von Augenfreude und Naturromantik nicht täuschen lassen: Land und Leute sind von den Narben eines endlosen Krieges gezeichnet. Rassenhass, Verbrechen und Selbstsucht sind an der Tagesordnung, was der Welt eine Art grimmige Glaubwürdigkeit verleiht.

    Überall wird gelitten, geflucht, gekotzt und gestorben. Dementsprechend kümmert sich Geralt auch häufig um die Belange des kleinen Mannes, anstatt von Fanfaren begleitet hohlen Bombast vom Himmel regnen zu lassen. Dass man dabei von den Geschichten zum Teil wirklich berührt wird, spricht für die Entwickler. Kritik gibt es von mir für das Kampfsystem, das meiner Meinung nach ein wenig direkter sein könnte und für die langen Ladezeiten. Bonuspunkte gibt's für den Sound: Die Natur in einem Videospiel hat noch nie besser geklungen.

    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.
