    The Witcher 3 Next-gen on PS5 is the best version of the game to date. The replay value of The Witcher 3 stood the test of time. As for an 8-year-old game continue to amaze everyone who has or hasn't played it.

    10/10. It was already very good in previous gen. It’s simply perfect now. Give it a try if you have never played it. Replay it if you played it back then.

    Witcher 3 remains one of my top favourite games of all time. I think of it as more than just a video game, its a journey & you get to play as one of the coolest and most badass fictional protagonists of all time, Geralt of Rivia! I'm playing it on PS5 performance mode and it is simply gorgeous. Witcher 3 is truly an unmatched & timeless masterpiece!

    I'm very pleased in my first 20 hours. I never played the first version. The upgrade is nice and this is one of the better open world RPGs I've ever played. I put it pretty far above the horizon series. On par with Skyrim. Nothing touches my beloved elden ring though.

    After seven years, The Witcher 3 is still much better than some of the latest AAA open-world games, mainly due to its unparalleled writing, character development, and gameplay.

    Let's start with the fact that the Witcher 3 is the best in the gaming industry nowadays. Quests in witcher 3 are some kind of the standard. All quests in new open-world games are compared with them and, obviously, the witcher is still unbeatable.
    The only game that is on par with the witcher is rdr 2. Everything else only tries to get closer to the level set by the witcher.

    Someone writes that the game is boring, well, play assassin's creed, clean outposts and grind resources (in single-player), or kill dummies in the call of duty. You are not worthy drinking in kaer morhen, you are not worthy to visit the land of 1000 fairy tales, you are not worthy to have fun at a wedding when your body is controlled by a spirit, you are not worthy to decide the fate of another witcher who slaughtered the entire village and this is just the beginning. Outposts and grind in a single player game is what you deserve
    Someone writes that they are tired of "special editions" of games. I advise them to look at the price of the updated edition of the game. Oh, that a surprise, it's free, how unexpected.
    After so many years it is still the game of the year for me. After hundreds of hours again it is like a fresh breathe to start the new game. I strongly recommend this game for everyone !!!    … Expand

It comes to a new generation of hardware, free of charge. The game is an absolute masterpiece, same as the original Polish novels it’s derived from. Anyone who gives this less than an 8 is probably confused, biased or a troll. You need to experience the full 100+ hours to know what you’re talking about, and many of us have more than once for damn good reasons.

    The addition of 3D audio on PS5 is outstanding. You hear the difference everywhere. When walking through a tavern, you can hear exactly where voices are coming from in a crowd. Fights are more exciting. The graphical improvements are significant, and performance mode seems to be the best experience. Buttery smooth, like they say, which now seems essential for sword fights. Quick Casting is a big improvement upon the original selection wheel. You don’t have to pause or think- just a press and it’s any sign you want without interruption. Walking up to destructible objects and pressing R2 + X for Aard is a pleasure, along with setting things ablaze with Igni. I would have paid for this upgrade in a heartbeat- no exaggeration. I almost want to pay something anyway, to support these massive masterpieces of games. I want to show that this is an investment well worth making so we don’t get smaller, lesser games in the future. Anyway, thank you CDPR for making this free. If you have never played The Witcher III and you’re a fan of RPGs, man are you in for one hell of a ride. Just pay the man.    … Expand

    An amazing journey of a monster hunter in every way possible.
    The main story is very well made with a great cast of characters, and the writing is fantastic, everything in the game has depth to it.

    The amount of content is absolutely ridiculous, at first you might get overwhelmed by all the activities the game throws at you, but exploring the map and doing side quests is definitely worth it, this game has perhaps the best side quests I've ever experienced, and the quest design is phenomenal.

    The dialogue options are groundbreaking, almost every quest has different outcomes and interactions, it's insane. Your actions have consequences and if you're not careful, you can miss entire questlines that can alter your experience.

    It's an all-around solid game, it does almost everything very well, except from the gameplay which is a little bit clunky so you'll have to get used to it, and some animations look weird.
    The biggest problem I have with the game personally is the amount of filler and padding in the first half of the story, it takes way too long for it to pick up, but the last few hours are just incredible.
    Also the boss fights are disappointingly simple and easy, no challenge whatsoever.

    Top Tier Open World in my opinion, it's very enjoyable from start to finish, there are so many things to do in this game.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt achieved the impossible, it's unbelievable how a small Polish studio managed to create this monster of a videogame.

    It looks MUCH better on XBOX Series X and PC but you wouldn't know that if you came to Metacritic where only the PS5 is served. This game also trashes God of War. Better story, better voice acting, better characters, less SJW and WOKE themes. And the fact that this update is FREE and adds so much should tell you Sony just wants more money for their horrible 70-dollar games.

    - Best story of the open world game genre. After seven years this game is still leaps and bounds ahead of most of the competition. And the games that can compete with Witcher 3 in terms of story lack the great presentation (Fallout New Vegas for example).

    - Interesting multi- faceted characters with way more depth than in most other games. They make big budged productions with Hollywood actors look bad in comparison. Even random npcs are far more convincing than main characters of aaa games released this year. Witcher 3 is being carried by actors and animators and they did a fantastic job.

    - Great quests with branching paths that challenge your morality. And its not always grey, sometimes you can decide wrong, sometimes there are multiple paths to a good ending, and sometimes all you can do is pick one bad thing or another. The writing is always great. Questing in this game is so much fun because you never know whats going to happen.

    - The world and its lore is based on Middle European fantasy instead of British fantasy like most fantasy games. Grimms fairy tales instead of Tolkien. Its way more sinister, terrifying, weird and ugly and thats great.

    - Great music. It really ads to the atmosphere which is often creepy and bloody. Also its not some generic “cinematic“ orchestral score. This music will stay in your head forever and never leave.

    - Gwent is the best and most complex mini game I have ever seen. Its really fun hunting for cards to become a master duelist.

    Cons:

    - Crashes, bugged quests, bugged npcs, bugged music, this game sadly has a lot of immersion ruining errors. The developers could have fixed this a long time ago but they didnt.

    - The rpg customization sucks. Loot scaling is poorly done, you are often swapping gear and nothing really sticks. Crafting is useless, and even unique quest rewards are throwaway stuff. Which is sad considering there are many different and unique swords and armor sets…. or not, because every sword has the exact same move set.

    - Abilities are generic and none of them has any impact on quests, except the upgrade for the Axii sign which you can get right in the first story chapter. This game has hundreds of different weapons, armor, materials, upgrades, but all of it just makes the game worse and more complicated. They should have went with a much, much simpler system.

    - Combat sucks as well, its not challenging even on highest difficulty and in most fights they just throw multiple mobs at once at you and you have to crowd control them. Not fun and the bad scaling is causing some unfair fights in the early game. But the worst enemy in the game is the horrendous lock on system.

    - The open world lacks diversity. All areas are a green land with lots of trees and very little variation besides that.

    Conclusion:

    This game is great but sometimes less is more. Cdpr should have focused even harder on what makes it worth playing, eg the story and characters, and cut down the cluttered rest of the game. Witcher 3 is one of the best story games of all time combined with an open world game thats more average than good. 8/10    … Expand

    Top 5 games of all time, thank you for my friend Aaron for recommending me this masterpiece of a game. I first played it on PS4 all those years ago and fell in love with this game. Then I switched to PC to experience it again with better graphics and now finally it has come to the PS5 and it's better than ever.

    It's The Witcher 3, but slightly better. Not gonna **** on the "upgrade" too much. It's a free upgrade and it's definitely an upgrade, even if it didn't upgrade THAT much. I thought The Witcher 3 was a masterpiece, 10/10, perfect game. Some of the best DLC ever to boot. This is just that, again.

Poi sono usciti negli anni diversi giochi con lo stile di The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. È la base per gli open world di ruolo. Parecchi prodotti negli anni sono alla The Witcher 3.

    El rendimiento tiene detalles que deja que desear, no puede ser que un juego de hace 8 años tenga tirones y bajones de 60fps, sobre todo para guardar, entrar a un lugar o salir de un diálogo.
    Bugs y fallos gráficos inadmisibles en un remaster. Toca reiniciar mision de vez en cuando.

    There’s not much to give an opinion on here, as much of the change implemented is visual and quality of life. It’s a welcome update, and if it’s been a while since you’ve played or if you’ve just never gotten around to it, now is a great time to do so. The Witcher 3 has been in a good place for a while, but these upgrades further cement it in it’s spot as one of the all-time greats.
