    PS4 version of TW3 after 1.10 update is simply PERFECT. Perfect FPS, gameplay, story and combat. GOTY for sure. Beyond any expectation you would think of a RPG game. It is the best game ever made.

    The most overrated game of the last 10 years together with skyrim, this game is very well but its narrative is boring, there is nothing cinematic, enemies do not matter all die easily and there is nothing that will mark life forever, Many parts of the world can be explored but have nothing, the combat system is quite bad, similar to assasins creed, I do not understand the high notes, goodThe most overrated game of the last 10 years together with skyrim, this game is very well but its narrative is boring, there is nothing cinematic, enemies do not matter all die easily and there is nothing that will mark life forever, Many parts of the world can be explored but have nothing, the combat system is quite bad, similar to assasins creed, I do not understand the high notes, good game but nothing extraordinary Expand

    I know this is the unpopular opinion, but I didn't enjoy this game. It's definitely not one of those games you would necessarily enjoy just because you like Skyrim or something. The character movement is pretty janky, and a lot of the story feels like a never ending domino effect of fetch quests. You need to find something out, it brings you to a guy, he asks you to do a fetch quest, whichI know this is the unpopular opinion, but I didn't enjoy this game.

    I give it the 6/10 because I can appreciate how dense it is with lore and background. It's pretty cool that you could read some lore in one of the novels, and then find something about it in the games. There's a lot to chew on, and if your a fan of the books you'd probably love the opportunity to play as Geralt. I can appreciate that, but it just didn't justify the hype for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "I gotta find Yennefer, and then maybe the story will devolve into something more than fetch quests"

    2 hours later
    "Ok, now I gotta find Ciri because she's in really big trouble, and then maybe the gsme will have an interesting dynamic between her and Geralt"

    5 hours later
    "Hendrik probably knows where Ciri is. I should go find him"

    6 hours later
    "The Baron seems to know where Ciri went, but I need to find his family before he tells me anything."

    8 hours later
    "Oh, so Ciri was in Novigrad. I should probably find Triss . She lives there and can probably help me find Ciri"

    11 hours later "Dandelion has something to do with all of this, so maybe I should find him."

    And to find him you gotta go find 5 of his **** girlfriends and talk to each and every one of them, each one more boring than the last.

    This is how my experience with The Witcher 3 has been going so far. Its always throwing more fetch quests at you. Despite the interesting side quests and Witcher Contracts and an outstanding world, the game's pacing is all over the place, the combat is Ass Creed shallow, and the game has way too many technical issues on ps4 which are backed by extremely clunky controls and robotic animation during dialogue. I, personally, will never understand the fanfare behind this game and why its been praised to the heavens, bug I can see a good game in this
    package which is why the rating is a 7. Play it if you're a fan of the books, or if you'rethe kind of player that can lose him/herself in a gorgeous open world like this one and doesn't feel bored after dozens of fetch quests in story missions, but don't go in there thinking you'll something incredible out of it. Maybe the next hours carry more interesting story beats, but I, personally, am not ready to sit through so much monotonous **** to find out.

    Beautiful world, amazing story. I have put in about 8 hours already and I know I'm not even 5% done. I will be spending a lot of time with this game. Atleast a 100 hours easily. I also own the PC version and although it looks a little bit better. I think this and bloodborne are the two best looking games out for the PS4 so far. CD RED came out with a home run here.

The entire world feels alive and it feels as if your playing an HBO series. Mature themed, and it never jumps out as if anything there doing is just to push the buttons, like nudity or cursing, it all fits into which ever scenario is presented! Only issues I've had are that the controls can sometimes be a little odd and I encountered a couple graphical tears, but they did't hinder the game in any way. This is right up there with some of the best like Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 or Bloodbourne. Do yourself a favor and pick this up on whatever platform you prefer. The developers truly know there market unlike EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.. Thank you CD Projekt, I'll be playing this for months! Expand

One bad thing I did experience though was far too much padding out of quests, which is frustrating if you don't have much time to waste... However a game you could play all day and still want to play it more afterwards. As I didn't play the other Witchers, I didn't know what to expect... But I'm so glad I payed money for this now.

So smart, in fact, that I think it puts Bioware and Bethesda to shame.

    I think this game will become legendary. Witcher 3 is just too awesome and vast. I could not cover all great details here. This is the first game I gave perfect score although actually I would like to give it 9.7 due to the long loading time and the game depends a little too much on gears. However, I would like to say the game improve much from Witcher 2.

    The World - Perfect open-world

This is the first game I gave perfect score although actually I would like to give it 9.7 due to the long loading time and the game depends a little too much on gears. However, I would like to say the game improve much from Witcher 2.

    The World - Perfect open-world with a huge amount of details. Graphic is great. Character designs are god-like, they feel so real. Game length is so immense. I spent like 20 hours and I think I haven't reached 10% of the game yet.

    Story - Very good, no complain. (but I think witcher 2 is better in the beginning part, well, I think I have to play more, I havn't finished the game yet)

    Combat System - works very well. Although, if you compare with Bloodborne, you may feel that it is a little clunky. Well you need to know that Bloodborne is expert in that area so it will be hard for any game to surpass that. However, Witcher 3 combat system also has its own merits. You need to stay with it for a while. Be more patient, this game does not want you to be as aggressive as blood borne but to be mindful and strategic.

    Music - Don't see any flaw in this area. Voice acting is great

    Additional point - You can play card game in Witcher 3 + you get a real map from your box and good manual hard copy.

    That is all, In sum, If you like Skyrim, this game is a must play for you. If you have never played RPG open world before, this game is a good epitome for you to see what a perfect open-world rpg game is, you should give it a try. If you don't like Skyrim, there is a high chance you will not like this game also.

    TLDR:
    Forget the stupidly bloated downgrade discussion and some nerds raging about minor issues - this game is stunningly beautiful and a must-have jewel in any RPG collection. Considering how much the predecessors have improved with their enhanced editions, we can expect this game to become a milestone in RPG history, similar in significance to Baldur's Gate!

Considering how much the predecessors have improved with their enhanced editions, we can expect this game to become a milestone in RPG history, similar in significance to Baldur's Gate!

    Graphics, gameworld, design:
    Sure, the demo footage looked even more awesome. But this is still one of the best-looking games I've ever seen. Not only because of polygons and shaders, but even more so due to an extraordinarily detailed and realistic world. All armors, buildings, NPC's and landscapes look like they had a bunch of historians on their payroll. Light and weather effects are much better than everything I've seen before, Dragon Age 3 and moddded Skyrim included. Furthermore, while magic exists in this world, it is more of a rare curiosity, not disturbing the realistic, dirty and immersive medieval setting. If a person gets crippled, it stays crippled - no quick spell of a mage will change that. Dead people stay dead, even if necromancy might force them to utter some last words in a fascinatingly disgusting fashion. This changes a lot, because you really care if someone tortures or injures your friends. Also, human cruelty has never been portrayed so believably except maybe for the first Dragon Age. In a direct comparison to Skyrim, the motivations of villains are far more believable - no mad cults without understandable reason, no simple villagers resorting to cannibalism just for the exquisite taste. The evil is never pure black, and you can always understand why people join evil groups like the witch hunters.

    Story:
    While I only finished somewhere between 50-70% of the main story so far (or so I guess), I can already tell that the quality of writing is outstanding. This game contains a few of the most memorable moments in my two decade gaming career. And they haven't even used any "ultimate fight of good vs evil" moments so far. This is the story of Geralt and his friends. You aren't the center of the world, which is a good and refreshing change to Bioware. Bioware should also take an example regarding the quality of side quests, which are in large parts just as well-written as the main story.

    Gameplay:
    Geralt is a predefined hero with a huge background history. This is a good thing for story reasons (especially if you played TW1 or TW2 or read the books), but limits gameplay a little. He rarely wields maces or axes, the crossbow has only a very small role in combat, and there are only 5 spells with a variant for each. Still, you feel like a professional monster hunter in each second, and each spell, potion or bomb is interesting. There are a few minor issues like the cluttered inventory, the rather pointless abundance of useless loot and some controls worth optimizing, but all this never makes the game significantly less fun to play. Overall, the gameplay is (very?) good, but not as extraordinary as story, gameworld and immersion. Luckily, you never care much. I find myself opening the character screen only every third level-up or so - seiing events unfold is just more interesting. And quite a few times I was so drawn in that I ended up in bed three hours later than planned ;-)

    As with all RPG's you can't expect to run before you can walk. Myself, having just given around 300hrs to Bloodborne + DS2 at first found the combat system in Witcher 3 a little clunky. Having said that, practice makes perfect and the more I play the more natural it's feeling to dodge and parry. As an RPG veteran the Soul's games are the best in category.

    Next gen Skyrim! This game is incredible. I can't think of anything negative about this game, it's pretty much just personal preference if anyone finds any negatives because from a technical standpoint, this game is amazing.

    This is the best RPG in history. Beautiful graphics, incredible storyline, characters, this game does not have a competition for himself. Idiots issuing some 4/10 should feel honored that can play Geralt.

    Awe inspiring effort who's only flaw is the camera and controls. I have just as much fun wandering around and taking in the aesthetics as I do completing quests. 9 out of 10....and the one point deduction is for the choppy controls. Can't help but wonder what this game would be like with smoother combat. Screw it, I'll get used to it.

    all about the game has been told so far in countless reviews, so ill just point these subtle things that make it much better than dragon-age-inquisition-like games :
    -customizable hud - you want to fully sink into the world, why not disabling a map and instead start asking for directions around, same goes with inventory, hints etc - huge plus for that
    -no more dull 'get 10 shards' side

    -customizable hud - you want to fully sink into the world, why not disabling a map and instead start asking for directions around, same goes with inventory, hints etc - huge plus for that
    -no more dull 'get 10 shards' side quest - right now a side quest is a non-forced little story that makes this game even more 'real' and you will quickly find out that nothing is black or white :)
    -no more saving the world hurr durr - Geralt is a monster-hunter, not a prophet, world saver or some other nonsense - the main quest is personal, remember The last of us ?
    -reality - you cant jump off the cliff with a horse ;))), you jump off from ~7meters as Geralt = youre dead, doesnt matter how much health you have
    -fighting ! its somehow similiar to shadow of mordor, yet a little bit less responsive, but requires a skill and tactical approach (as every enemy fights in other manner)
    -medieval lenguage (at least in my lenguage version) - its A M A I Z I N G while it comes to building an atmosphere
    -truly dark fantasy vibe - if you find a thief, he'll get hanged on a tree - no merciful 2nd chance **** like in other rpgs
    -the world is huge and full of things to explore

    the only con i have found is that you cannot attack civilians/nonhostiles - and sometimes they are pretty disrespectful during the conversation - a punch in the face would be a great use here, and would fit the storytelling perfectly but you cannot do it :(

    Tak, downgrade był obecny, i należy się za to krytyka. Ale jakość gry przyćmiewa trochę gorszą grafikę.

The graphics are simply stupendous and a cut above what you're used to with open world RPGs, running at full 1080p. As for the open world, it's absolutely massive, with so much to see and do. You have the main quest, which is told with superbly production values thanks to excellent voice acting, nicely detailed faces, and good animations for the most part. Then you also have the side quests, which unlike many other RPGs where the side quests merely feel like filler, there's a lot more to them here - many of the side quests feel like self-contained stories with satisfying payoffs. In terms of the gameplay, you'll be exploring this massive world, collecting loot, leveling up, unlocking new abilities, and doing everything one would expect from a modern day RPG. Then there's the combat, which may seem different than you're used to at first, and may seem more challenging than some other RPGs since the combat seems to be a lot more animated than most RPGs, but once you master it - and you will - you will love it. I especially love how you can either roll away from enemy attack, block them, parry them, or my favorite, sidestep them stylishly. All in all, The Witcher 3 is a game that every PS4 owner should own.

The game's beauty carries over on all platforms, with PC having an expected, though miniscule advantage over other systems, and a visual style that really pulls you into the world. I can't even count the number of times I had to just stop and enjoy the view, especially during the sunset and sunrise over the horizon.

    Witcher 3 isn't just eye candy, though it is undoubtedly beautiful, but it is a genuinly impressive story driven RPG that isn't afraid to play with your emotions during the 30-40 hour campaign. Along the way there are instances where you are put in the shoes of Geralt's ward Ciri, and while the sudden jump in playstyle can be jarring, I found her sections to be equally as enjoyable as Geralt's romp through the main quest.

    Gameplay, namely combat, is much improved from The Witcher 2's clunky controls and feels more fluid and satisfying, especially when you take down a paticularily nasty hoard of monsters.

    In short, The Witcher 3 is an amazing RPG, Open world adventure, and video game in general that should not be missed.

You will travel various locations, including forest, mountains, underwater, across the seas, caves, and catacombs.

    Almost all the quests (especially story quests) will have to deciding between two choices, and these choices will affect how world revolves around you.

    The best story I've ever seen in a game and it rivals even Lord of the Rings for books and movies. It has amazing graphics, and continues to impress as you crank it to 1600p and ultra everything.

    The most innovative and intriguing thing about the game is that decisions you make matter (without a simple good/evil bar), and often you will not know the extent of your decisions for hours or even tens of hours (none of this "so and so will remember that" from Telltale games and none of the simple and obvious good/bad choices of almost every other game ever.

    It also has fantastic setting and lore, which pays lots of fan service to Witcher 2 fans (like me) but is absolutely accessible to people who never played either other game (like my wife). Finally, it is just plain ridiculously fun and never got old even after 135 hours.

    Yes, it is a bit clunky to control (but only out of combat), the swimming is atrociously bad, the inventory cannot be sorted, and some other minor issues as well. But when you absolutely nail every other part of your game, it just doesn't matter.

I will even go as far to say this is the best RPG I have ever played in quite a long time, cons about the game,some of the game mechanics could use a little work such is the way your character is able to move around, game mechanics could also use a little work in the way you are able to maneuver your horse. replay value on this game would definitely get a nine and a half because of how many times you can make the story end after you beat the game differently. so to sum up what I think of this game, if demons souls in fable had a baby, it would have been the Elder Scrolls, now if the Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age had a baby, it would definitely be the Witcher 3, that is how good this game ends, I highly recommend picking this game up, and enjoy.

I have to say never before have i felt my choices have had meaning and true consequence far more then say....mass effect series. the witcher has really grown up with this growing maturing studio i just hope it isnt as rumoured the last in the series.

    Despite all the excellent on offer a couple of things could stand to improve, the inventory system can be a little messy and quest items can sometime be lost in a sea of useless rubbish especially when it comes to the treasure and armour scavenger hunts.

The story of The Witcher games have all been good mostly thanks to the Witcher Books the series is based off.But Witcher 3 follows suit for the most part, at times you feel like your just running from A to B to help someone so they will in turn help you by giving you info for the 2 people you are looking for.But that IS what a "Witcher" is he is a hired monster killer and you do lots of that. Harpies,Griffins,Spirits and Cannibals are just a few of the foes you have to decapitate and cut in half.The combat in the game is very smooth and feels great, All enemies have there own weaknesses and strengths you need to learn and use against them. Some being Oils or Potions you can craft to make you stronger against that type of foe or a time of day that is better to fight it. The developer CD Project Red worked extremely hard on bringing the best possible experience they could to the PS4 and Xbox One, The game still suffers from some frame rate issues and stuttering but it doesn't stop you from enjoying the game very much.

    The Witcher series are the only RPG's I have ever really liked, so I was already pumped for the third instalment. But I could never of imagined how good this game was actually going to be. It's addictive just exploring this amazing world. I can't recommend this enough, even if you normally don't play RPG's you should play this, no doubt about it. 10/10

    Superb game with great emphasis on story. And I love it.
    Only downside is bugs - game crashed on me multiple times, even after installing the latest patches. But the game is so good I can deal with it.

    Anyone who says that W3 doesn't run well on their system is high. I'm using a 2600CPU and a 570VidCard and I get 60+FPS on Ultra settings (minus hair). The story line is superb, the graphics are cinema quality, and the combat system and immersion are top notch. This game really sets a new standard. I'm having a blast with it and I don't have a single complaint.

    The second coming of Jesus tap-dancing Christ would not pull me away from this awesome game.

    It is arguably the single greatest RPG I think I have played in 15+ years. And I have played most of them.

    It has 4 minute fetch quests with more compelling story and interesting characters than the main story line of Skyrim.

    There is a constant sense of exploration of wonder that actually manages to surprise you over and over again. Not since the days of Baldur's Gate II have I felt so consistently amazed at the places and things I encounter in an RPG.

    And best of all, in the most positive sense of the expression: This is not a game for babies. There's racism, sex, cruelty, drugs, moral ambiguity, and more disturbing monsters than you've seen in any other game. You will not be coddled, your actions will have far reaching consequences -- many of them not immediately apparent, and if you walk into the wrong area and attack a the level 20 golem guarding a chest when you're at level 6, you're swiftly reduced to a blob of red paste in the forest floor.

    The world design is incredible. It feels like a real world rather than a bunch of sewn-together set pieces. Not to mention the beautiful foliage. Makes Dragon Age III look like a golf course by comparison. The sound design also merits special mention. There's so much carefully crafted ambiance everywhere. Last but not least, the dynamic weather effects are beyond anything I have seen in a game to this date.

    The whole game just oozes of the love CDPR put into it.

    There are some minor warts, such as the controls which take a moment to get accustomed to, and the inventory interface isn't the most brilliant in the world, but they're barely worth mentioning.

    12/10 - Game of the decade.

    Whoever called this game "Red Dead Redemption meets Skyrim" was onto something. If you haven't played the other two Witchers, read the books, or the comics, your start in this game is going to be awkward and frustrating. This is a sequel with a complex story, a complex world, and labyrinthine mechanics, and will not make any effort to hold you by the hand and put you up to date. However,Whoever called this game "Red Dead Redemption meets Skyrim" was onto something.

This is a sequel with a complex story, a complex world, and labyrinthine mechanics, and will not make any effort to hold you by the hand and put you up to date. However, once you pick up, and finish the first few quests, you'll need to say goodbye to your social life for a while.

    While the gameplay is going to be important, the narrative is going to take the top spot. Everything in this game exists to push a story. The people hung in trees and the devastation of a warn-torn countryside oozes atmospheric storytelling. The conversation trees are as important as the gameplay, since something you miss, or a wrong answer, can truly change your experience of the game further ahead. Do not take lightly any conversation, as trivial as it may look. The side quests are so well done, they are meant to enhance the narrative rather than drag the play time of the game. I have a few ones to count as my favorites, but a memorable one involves a singing troll.

    Everything in this game is meant to feel like a living, breathing world that you can help shape for better or worse. I think the main victory of the Witcher is telling a compelling story, in an open world game.

    It's not without its problems, you can't expect a game this massive to be perfect at everything. Some will complain about the fighting system, to which I believe can be fixed by adjusting the difficulty. The menu interface can be tough to navigate. The alchemy and crafting systems are too complicated for the average Joe, and I wouldn't be surprised if most people won't bother with it. Some glitches are to be expected.

    Whatever the problem would be, it can't outweigh the masterpiece. This game has raised the bar in what we can expect in narrative and open-world games. I may even dare and call it, a Zelda game for adults,

Although I did wish there should've been more variety when it came to the free roaming (the ?'s around the map), but the reward of finding quality gear outweighed the repetitiveness of it. The witcher contracts were also a blast to play, as the side stories revolving around the monsters sucks you in, and you just want to see the sucker for yourself and kill it. Speaking of enemies, there is a lot of them in this game, with different ways to kill all of them, just would've liked to see more variety of move sets of each monsters, (it's a small detail, but it's something that irked me seeing a different monster within a set species having basically the same move set). Now the story itself was great with a amazing cast of characters I cared for, especially the well being of the girl we are after in the game. Some of the main missions dragged on unnecessarily, but for the most part I enjoyed playing the main story and watching the story unfold (kind of underwhelmed by all of the endings but that's my opinion). The gameplay and rpg aspects of this game can be summed up in one word: "simple". Basically a hack and slash game, with complimentary potions/ few magic spells and rpg elements to boost your character. Honestly, no complaints from me regarding the gameplay, would've liked to see geralt learn new moves and signs as the game went on, but again its a small detail that doesn't take away from the overall gameplay. After beating the game, i can honestly say that this is an amazing game but it's not for everyone, it's far from perfect, but the amount of stuff can keep you occupied for hundreds of hours especially if you like grinding. To end, if you plan on straight doing main quests and nothing else, it's an 8/10.. but if you like this game a lot, you'll probably end up spending hundred of hours on it and it's an 9/10. Expand

It took me awhile to get used to the multiple menu trees and seeing the slow, progressive results in combat effectiveness after slowly building skills abilities within these trees. On the graphical fidelity/performance front, frames-per-second on PS4 is a little sludgy, but I've gotten used to this in the context of the AC series and overall, if the sense of immersion/detailed "world" is there, I am willing to overlook limited performance (but that's to a point, I'll say. For instance, right now I'm having trouble overlooking the awful graphics/performance of games such as Fallout 4, though the depth of detail of stuff to explore, find, craft, do is pretty amazing). I'd say the art designers did a superb job overall, though. So many little things shine to help with immersion, such as the changing weather, time of day and getting all the little sounds of the outdoors mixed in to enhance the experience. The sound and sight of wind moving through the trees is noticed and appreciated!

    As mentioned, in terms of gameplay itself, there was a learning curve that I had to trudge through, in the beginning very low levels, to get to the good stuff...to the sense of fun. In that respect, there was a degree of trust to access that all the glowing critic/user reviews were attesting to something there that I just needed to have the patience in order to dig to discover. Again, all secondary to my lack of experience with the overall slower pace associated with RPG's. Just now (and only about 12 hours into the game! so much more fun ahead :) ) the full appreciation of what the devs have done in creating W3 is emerging. A big part of that is the superb writing. The story and side stories themselves. They are strange, magical, and unique (at least to me) in a way that I find exciting. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but much of the "story telling" in gaming seems a little contrived/repetitive to me. W3 is an exception, in my perspective. The fantasy story is well written and helps to drive the experience forward from mission to mission. I literally have no idea what's coming next, but am beginning to expect to be pleasantly surprised and intrigued.

    So, all in all, a long-winded way of saying that W3 is capturing the heart of a primarily first person shooter fan. It is a great game and deserving of being in the upper tier of anyone's top 10 list.

    Such as:
    1) Glitches, minor ones. Kind of funny seeing characters phase through objects, magically appear and disappear. Puddles of doom (if this happened to you, you'll know what I mean.) None of these are game breaking, just minor annoyances that disrupt the immersion.
    2) Way, way, way, way to many pointless mini quests (hidden treasure, bandit, camps, etc.) While they are fun at first they do become mostly pointless once you start crafting your own gear. I would have rather had more witcher contracts, than dozens of meaningless smuggler caches.
    3) Gwent becomes far too easy once you have most of the cards. Why not introduce handicaps (like what they did in Final Fantasy 8.)
    4) Copy and paste sex scenes. Seriously, the Witcher 2 may have had less, but at least there was effort made so they all didn't look the same.
    5) Why isn't Ves a romance option? Or at the very least a quick dalliance.
    6) Unbalanced set monster levels scattered through each area. While it does add a challenge, it also forces too much back and forth. Also, it's kinda funny and annoying that at level 35 you still get mobbed by level 1 wolves. It would have been so much better if enemies were scaled to your level (with obvious exception to contracts and story related creatures.)

    But these are all just very minor gripes which hopefully will be addressed in future patches and DLC.

    The world of the Witcher 3 is massive and each area is almost game into itself. The level of detail and the scenic beauty of the graphics truly show what the PS4 is capable of.

    The story is gripping from beginning to end. Many of the secondary quests are gripping from beginning to end. Excellent writing and character development. Although I did wish that there would have been more of Ciri.

    Overall:
    The Witcher 3 is a marvelous game that is a clear milestone for the genre. Hopefully other developers will look to this game learn from its success. Thank you CD Project Red.

    Cons:
    -World is filled with generic peasant npcs. Don't expect to wonder the world and meet interesting people. The interesting people you do meet are a part of the story.
    -The combat is clunky and your horse has some of the worst controls I have seen in a top notch video game.

    Verdict: If this games side quests were as interesting as skyrim, mass effect, or fallout then this would probably be one of my favorite games of all time. In my opinion the lack of interesting npc characters makes the huge world a little dull to explore. That's just my own preference when it comes to exploration. But really that is a small criticism. The game is tremendous.

    What I will say is that I have been gaming seriously for close to 25 years now and have played pretty much everything in that time (bar a few exceptions). I never played The Witcher and I really couldn't get into The Witcher 2, as I found the world very restricted and the combat appalling.

    Witcher 3 is possibly the best game I have ever played. I'm not sure whether anything here is revolutionary but Project Red have basically taken every good idea from games such as Skyrim, Fable, Red Dead Redemption, World of Warcraft etc and created something that surpasses them all. It's the attention to detail here that really boggles the mind. This game has been designed with the player in mind and what would make their lives easier whilst allowing and encouraging the freedom to roam and explore a magical world.

    I have never experienced such a desolate, war-strewn and desperate land in all gaming and it really lives and breathes due to stunning weather and day/night cycles. I've sunk over 20 hours into it so far and have barely scratched the surface and the single complaint i have is that it's too easy to steal items whilst their owners simply stare at you.

    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.
