    This is truly a wonderful spectacle, perfect blend of beautiful fantasy world, mature character development and awesome numerous plots. I cannot praise Witcher 3 enough - this game kept me on my toes from the begging until the end with anticipation. It surprised me with hugely developed side quests that were as much developed as main quests.
    Voice acting is superb. Graphics are stunning.

    Witcher 3 is the best game I have played, period. Polish studio CD PR did stunning work that brought gaming to entirely different level and I'll bet it will be hard for other studios to follow.
    Witcher 3 is simply breathtaking spectacle in which you are main character in the fantasy world so delightful that I felt I am part of this story. Masterpiece, indeed. Bravo, CD Project Studio, bravo!!!

    Take a bit of Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, The Wolf Among Us and add following ingrediences: most beautiful and dense open World ever created, hard but rewarding combat and the most memorable side quests ever created from which many are dramatic storylines full of emotions on their own. This masterpiece is what you get!

    The inventory system text is so small it's barely legible on a 50" TV, and seems to have been designed for PC players with no consideration for console gaming.
    Add to this a story that is drab and uninteresting from the outset, especially when compared to Witcher 2, which was great right off the bat.
    This is NOT a massive open world game, either. It's a great big map where you go from point A to point B to point X and the challenge seems to be mastering your boredom.
    I was really looking forward to this game and to say that I'm gutted is an understatement.

    This game gripped me so much, I've just went a bought the first book in the series (trust me, I hate books, so this is saying something) just to get a bit more of Geralt and the world of a Witcher.

    It has set a new precedence in the gaming industry - it is graphically stunning in-depth and rich, however the story line is epic. I have never played a game where the consequences of my decisions made such an impact. For me this game was a connection with a beautiful story, the first moment arriving in Ard Skellige and the pan pipe music faintly playing in the background whilst admiring the stunning scenery was the most epic moment I have experienced in any game during my life. CDPR have not made a game, they have made a masterpiece, this should be Game of the Year, Decade, Century and History. In a word... Perfect

    I did find some bugs, such as indestructible bandits in a cave and that's why i cant give it 10... 10 to me must be perfection and this is not quite there.

    Visuals and audio are top notch, you just can't get enough of watching game's picturesque landscapes, cities, villages, caves and forests. You often just slow down and listen to people chatting, nature humming and music casting its spell. Combat is fast paced, tactical, challenging and satisfying, yet it could be even more challenging for my personal preference (like in Dark Souls 3) because even on the hardest possible difficulty I fare quite well and don't die all that often.

    This is one of those gems that doesn't let you quit playing like the best book or your favourite TV series. If you haven't played this one you have to buy if with all the expansions and let it take you on a breathtaking journey to Sapkowski's amazing world. The best adventure of your life guaranteed. Trust me: buy it :)

    The Witcher 3 is one of the most unique, distinctive, vast and varied western RPGs I’ve played in years and it contains hundreds of brilliant stories that you simply must experience.

    I started playing video games on MS-DOS back in the 80s (think Pac Man, Dig Dug, Paratrooper, etc.). I then graduated to Nintendo, SNES, XBOX, 360, PC, XBOX ONE, and countless other platforms. I'm a pretty seasoned gamer and I've played thousands of games.

    The Witcher 3 is the best video game I've ever played. The last time I felt this way was when I played Deus Ex back in 2000. Obviously, Deus Ex is nothing by today's standards, but it was a landmark game back then. Well, The Witcher 3 not only brought that feeling back to me, but multiplied by a factor of 5, at least.

    The quality of this game is incomprehensible. It's unfortunate, in a way. I played Fallout 4 immediately after finishing this game. How do ya' think that game stacked up in comparison? Not well, obvsly. FO4 is like a ball on a stick compared TW3. I have a feeling that's going to be my finding on most games going forward. TW3 likely ruined me for all future games, basically.

    It's one of those "Avatar games" I'd call them: you live your normal life and then you press play and get totally lost into their world. A world that treats you like the hero and mutant, like the savior or worst nightmare. A world that your choices change the course of the story and the way things are done.

    Great balance of storytelling, fighting, crafting, questing... You can get as much or as little from the game as you wish - however I assure you that you will often find yourselves galloping like crazy from one question mark to the other to get the area cleared (usually at +02:00 am).

    ...and the card game rocks (although my initial thought was "No time for that crap...")

    Bottom line: must buy - maybe one of the top 3 games of the year!

Even the soundtrack can't be faulted. I literally watched for 15 minutes as my character simply stood by a scenic lake at dawn just to watch the sun rise and witness a storm at a distance slowly change the environment in such a beautifully realistic way. Sometimes it was just the minute details that told you the developers put extreme care into creating this fantastic RPG.

But ever since watching videos of various games, what felt like Deja Vu, suddenly became repetitive. And that was numerous people saying that The Witcher 3 is the best game they have ever played. I for one was more than skeptical about these statements, because I had always thought that The Last of Us was the finest game I would ever play. But this game has moments that I have not experienced in any game I have ever played. I cared for character in series in which I had not played the previous two. Each and every single quest has a depth to it that I cannot comprehend. You can find out about how the mechanics of the game works through videos, what I have tried to base my review on is simply how this game has made me feel.

    I had lost my love for gaming. For years I would spend an average of two hours, every week (rookie numbers) playing games. Whether you think it is a good or a bad thing, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has reinvigorated my love for gaming. Just play the game, it is hard to get into at first I admit. But whether its the first 5, 10, 15 or even 20 hours, there WILL be a moment in which this game will click for you and you will say to yourself ''I am playing the finest game of this generation''.

    Every side quest is fun and interesting, never once was a I bored with a quest or felt like it was just another fetch and return.

    Crafting is fantastic, you can find many diagrams for standard and special Witcher gear to make, you can loot and craft runes to upgrade your gear even further with. Witcher gear diagrams come in tiers so it can be improved every few levels upto mastercrafted status.

    Graphics are great on the Xbox, faces especially are amazing and the textures on clothing and armour have never looked so real imo. Some things lack that detail like grass/leaves but that really is just nit picking on some peoples part.

    Bad:

    I found the skill tree seriously lacking and I never really looked forward to leveling up and often found I had not even noticed and there was several skill points waiting to be allocated. There is some good stuff in there but I would have liked more active abilities rather than so much passive stuff. For instance they could have had Heliotrop and Somne signs unlock in the magic skills.

    Yrden(trap) is useful once you invest heavily it has a dot effect and is good for crowd control.
    Ign ihas a very cool firestream ability later in the line.

    Bomb making can expand the slots to hold 8 bombs and turn them into cluster blombs.

    There is also a skill to make Geralt deflect and parry arrows.

    You can upgrade to parry arrows with your swords

    Other than that most of the skill tree is 1% here and 2% there which you expect in some RPGs but that kind of thing makes up the majority of Geralts leveling. Mutagens used to be very rare and extremely powerful things that would give Geralt unique perks or talents now they are just about every monster drops them and they do little more than increase stat modifiers. Some can make potions that are on a whole not especially useful imo.

    MILD ENDING SPOILER.

    For the game plus the game reverts to your save world before you start the last chapter which I found really disappointing since I was looking forward to exploring the world after the finale and hoping more high level quests and contracts would be opened up.

    Summary:
    Despite feeling the leveling up was kind of dull everything else kept me fully immersed in the game and as I said I mostly forgot about the leveling up, which is made up for by the amount of great and unique gear you can loot and craft.

Every little thing you do in The Witcher 3 could come back full circle to you, even the smallest things. 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 PC version of the game is much better in that subject (If you have a good PC). But regardless of how the game runs if your a fan of RPGs you owe it to yourself to give your Time to "The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt" and it's lots of time trust me, you differently get your moneys worth.

    Also. Trolls. Whoever scripted those trolls need a medal. Best bit of the game, for me.

    Incredible game... Brillant story line and characters. Geralt is a fascinating character to play and learn his story throughout the game. The other characters are also fascinating to learn about while playing the game.

    Just about everything about this game is incredible. Even with the unfortunate graphical downgrade it still looks amazing. The story, characters, and setting are just incredible and lifelike, this game really pulled me into its world.

    CD Projekt Red are my favorite developer right now, for good reason. Not just for the quality work they've done with the Witcher series but also because of their business practices. They continued to support the game by releasing free DLC which included new armor sets, hair/facial hair options, outfits for other NPCs, weaponry, AND new quests. All that for free, in this day and age? It's wonderful. In addition, they are releasing 2 expansion packs. Actual expansion packs with new locations, characters, storylines, and so many more hours of content. They really lift my spirits when seemingly almost every other developer/publisher wants to just defecate out a game, and support it for a limited time with paid DLC.

    Cons:

    The only downside to this game that I see most people complain about is the combat. I can understand why, it is sort of basic. You're essentially limited to swords (although there are axes, their stats are almost always outclassed by Witcher swords) and the crossbows are more of a tool to stumble enemies/bring down flying enemies. But there are some other ways to make combat more interesting. Witcher signs (spells) that you can cast, and potions to collect and craft. All in all it was good enough for me.

    After putting well over 200 hours into the game, I am finally done with Geralt's tale. All I can say is "Wow". As corny as it may sound, that is a perfect description for the game. From the environment, combat, story, and side stories this game will impress. I'll admit, trying to do EVERYTHING in the game is overwhelming but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I give the game 9/10.After putting well over 200 hours into the game, I am finally done with Geralt's tale. All I can say is "Wow".

    I'm no hardcore gamer but this game is just ridiculously good. The main story is incredibly deep with excellent voice work for all the characters. The combat is satisfying with a fantastic progression system, admittedly this game can be a bit a brutal early on but as soon as you get a few levels up and some decent gear its fine a can offer a real challenge on the harder difficulty levels.

    The side quests are probably the real stand out feature as these are beautifully fleshed out and varied you can be solving a Sherlock Holmes style murder mystery with multiple outcomes or you can be competing in a high stakes card game in a posh brothel! there really are so many interesting things to.

    Speaking of the card game it is called qwent and is quite possibly my favourite part of the witcher 3, it is incredibly addictive and soon becomes an obsession to build up a strong deck to compete with some of the best players, I really wish they could have added an online qwent tournament so I could keep playing this even after the game is 100% finished.

    The graphics are sublime for a game of this size the world itself is beautiful with animals roaming around real time weather and some of the best sunsets I've yet to witness within a RPG. Some of the landscapes you witness can take your breath away! I am constantly pausing the game to admire whats in-front of me and often screen shot to use as my dashboard background. Now again the frame-rate can dip but after the last few updates it seems to have smoothed out now.

    The story is seriously for adults, there is rarely a clear right or wrong choice, you can be thinking about decisions you've made for hours after and even see the results later in the game too. The ending can alter drastically depending on these choices. There is quite a lot of gore and nudity and at times feels like the video game version of Game of Thrones which is no bad thing!

    Ive barely scratched the surface on what makes this game great. It does ask for a huge commitment from the player to see all it has to offer but no game has ever been more worthy of your time in my opinion!

    Without doubt one of the best games ever made!

    If you haven't played it yet and enjoy vast open fantasy world RPG's like Skyrim or oblivion this is a no brainier I only wish I had a top of the range PC to enjoy this game at its very best but even on xbox one its incredible!

    With The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red really establishes themselves as one of the game development studios to keep an eye on. What they have done here is nothing short of outstanding.

    Now, no game is perfect. The combat and inventory systems in The Witcher 3 could be polished a bit more, and the camera is a bit difficult to control, but outside of those concerns, this game might be the closest to perfection I've encountered in my 30 years of gaming.

    The world that you inhabit is dense, interesting, beautifully rendered, and full of depth for those who care to explore it. The quests are many, and it seems as though each one has an interesting little story to tell. The characters you encounter are well realized and developed, unlike anything I've seen in other games before. Enemies and boss battles are extremely varied, and require preparation and strategy to defeat.

    This is, quite simply, the game of the generation for me, unless and until someone else can craft a nearly perfect game that can make me want to sink hundreds of hours into it, and not feel like a single one of those hours was wasted.

    Well done, CD Projekt Red!

    Somit kommt mir TW3:WH in diesen Aspekten eher wie ein extrem gutes Action-Adventure vor.

    Allerdings...dies ist meine einzige Kritik an diesem Spiel. Ich persönlich lege bei RPG´s einfach sehr viel Wert auf ein Kampfsystem mit Aktiven Skills und eine tiefgreifende Charakterentwicklung. Wenn ich davon absehe und diese zwei dennoch soliden Aspekte als gegeben hinnehme, ist TW3:WH ein überaus immersives und spannendes Spiel welches mich für viele Stunden vor den Bildschirm gefesselt hat.

I was always an open world RPG fan, and did not end up playing this game until a year after its release due to a persistent friend who annoyingly bugged me to try it. I had always been a Bethesda fan and so Elder Scrolls & Fallout always had priority for me. I finally gave in and tried the game out.

    I do not even know how to express how blown away I was by this game, it is actually hard to put into words without sounding like a glorified fanboy, but this game is just a masterpiece. I had no idea what happened in the previous entries, all I had was a prologue video with a bit of explanation on where I am when I start the game and what my objective was. Surprisingly, that is all it took to launch me into hours upon hours of gameplay to explore and interpret the lore of The Witcher universe on my own.

    This game is not perfect, but it is definitely one of the closest to that 100 score. It has a great narrative, enticing gameplay, loads of content to sink your teeth in, interesting characters with some of the best voice acting I've heard in a video game, and it keeps you coming back with the ability to try out different builds and continue your progression with the New Game+ feature. Not to mention some absolutely awesome DLC content that are well worth the extra cost.

    I will also mention the few dislikes I have with this game are that there is no jumping vertically in combat, some of the characters faces are identical or close to it (mostly villagers and city citizens), and of course a few bugs here and there that always exist in large open world RPGs that CDPR has made efforts to fixing. Oh, and Roach, sorry girl but you're really weirdly behaved in game.

    The List:

    Pros:

    - Amazing story and universe lore
    - One of the best game universes ever created, the settings in this game and the locations are the best I have ever seen, specifically Skellige & Toussaint, which were above and beyond IMO
    - Great and interesting characters with incredibly good voice acting talent
    - Excellent RPG levelling and character building elements
    - Loads of content outside of main story, including side quests, loot searches, treasure hunts for interesting Witcher gear that are based on your play style
    - Well designed monsters that are an absolute blast to tangle with, and a bestiary packed with information about these creatures that really makes them believable for the story
    - Some of the best side quests I have ever seen in an RPG game, really close to my love of the fallout side quests (3 & NV)
    - Excellent GWENT card game integration which I believe was an absolute blast to play in game and served as a nice break from grinding and battling
    - Two brilliantly executed DLC packs that are well worth the money, Blood and Wine is the better of the two, but Heart of Stone had a great story as well
    - Blood and Wine's Toussaint region is absolutely brilliant and beautiful
    - Blood and Wine's vampire lore is actually very interesting and it is fun to explore
    - Death March difficulty is tough, but fair

    Cons:

    - No vertical jump during combat hinders escapability and often gets Geralt stuck on small objects
    - A few recycled faces throughout the world's citizens
    - Roach's behaviour is awkward and cumbersome

    Those cons do not even come close to hindering the true masterpiece this game is, all I can really say is that you have to try it out yourself, if you have not already. Seeing as this game came out almost 3 years ago, most people probably already have, but I had to put this review on here because it really is a showcase of what video games have the potential to be... an artistic masterpiece. Nothing else to say, it is one of my Top 3 games of all time.

    For me Witcher 3 is the best game I ever played. The story is great and side quests are really interesting. Maps give us a lot of places and things to discover, lots of enemies to kill and things to solve. I was little angry on "horse steering", and swimming under water (in some places that was difficult). I've been playing Witcher 3 for more than 150 hours and it was worth it for sure.For me Witcher 3 is the best game I ever played. The story is great and side quests are really interesting.

    A little late review but after investing 450 hours into this game I can safely say this is the best game I have played in these 20 years I've been into gaming. Also both of the expansions deserve a solid 10/10.

    PROS:
    - Characters. There are a lot of them and they all feel unique, deep and realistic.
    - Storytelling. The story itself and how it is told is unrivalled. Also the choices you make will have long term consequences and they shape the story. Nothing in this game is black and white and that's the beauty of the story.
    - Graphics are really beautiful. I found myself just walking around watching the beautiful sceneries surprisingly often.
    - Music is great and suits the game.
    - Sidequests. There's a whopping amount of them and they all feel unique interesting short stories.
    - World is huge and filled with a ton of details.
    - Combat. I've seen some complaints about it but I have always enjoyed it. It's swift and elegant swordplay combined with casting spell-like signs.
    - Gwent. A collectible card game included in the game. "A game in a game so you can play when you play".
    - Geralt of Rivia.

    CONS:
    - Sometimes minor difficulties in moving in narrow or thight spaces
    - It ends.

The world is beautiful, varied and full of interesting places and characters. The writing is absolutely superb. Both the main story as well as all the side missions. Therefore, even in rather insignificant side missions or monster contracts, the sense that these missions were all still handcrafted from the bottom up and not just "copy-pasted" is ever so noticeable throughout a very lengthy journey in this world. Which is unlike most open world games these days, that is, games that use the exact same formula and lazy structure for each side mission simply to bolster that sense of "many things to do". Now there were so many things to do in The Witcher 3 as well, but unlike most open world games, it wasn't quantity > quality it was both quantity and quality. And so The Witcher 3's lack of repetition and it's incredible creativity in what ever you happen to do speaks volumes about CDPR. Because you can really tell they made this game with passion. Speaking of CDPR, the fact that this relatively small studio managed to create this game, that is (in my opinion) the best game ever created alongside Red Dead Redemption 2 is nothing short of amazing. What The Witcher 3 does so incredibly well (amongst so many other things) is the atmosphere. The Fields of White Orchard, the forests of Velen, the streets of Novigrad to the harsh cold of the Skellige islands. All these places have a unique feeling to them. As mentioned it is absolutely huge and took me forever to complete. And the fact that it takes you across multiple regions and over countless hours of an incredible story to complete, its a journey unlike any other. Thus, the world, Geralt of Rivia and the characters you meet will stay with you for a very long time. Absolutely amazing, gaming at its best. Expand

Incredible graphics, fantastic sound, remarkable soundtrack and great story telling. The AI, however, can be easily exploited in sections and some side quests and even main quest have some real issues. Looting is frustrating until you get used to the incredibly narrow loot range and direction - was done to allow for looting in combat but it also makes looting a chore when not in combat. There are some glaring clipping issues and sound overlay problems but that is to be expected in a game that provides well over 100 hours of game play. Combat difficulty is extremely varied and its easy to out level the main quest content if you do a significant number of side quests so be cautious if you enjoy a challenge.

    I recommend this game highly to anyone that enjoys RPGs, despite some of the nagging minor issues. This is a game that will stay with you for a long time and is a fitting closure to Geralt of Rivia's tale.

    GRAPHICS: The graphics are spectacular but demanding on the PC. You do need to have a substantial rig to fully enjoy the graphical fidelity. On console the graphics are well executed and meet the "next gen" standard.

    SOUND: Really well done ambient, combat and location sound effects that create a very compelling atmosphere. However there are some sound bugs where certain effects will linger and over power dialogue which is annoying and immersion breaking.

    SOUNDTRACK: The soundtrack is phenomenal and very fitting to the setting, well implemented and strikes a chord at the right moments with excellent fading and transition some exceptions where, like the ambient sound effects, the music is overly loud and will interfere with dialogue delivery.

    VOICE ACTING: Superb voice acting, with good dialogue and consistently well delivered lines. The NPC dialogues in areas could use a bit more variety perhaps as it can become monotonous and even irritating to hear certain dialogues over and over.

    STORY: Excellent stories and very compelling, rich character development using multiple story telling devices including cut scenes, descriptions, items and game play. One of the best stories in gaming.

    GAME PLAY: The combat is varied, from easy to difficult and is usually dependent on preparation and build but the AI can have issues at times. Otherwise the combat is fun and is adjustable to play style ranging from light armored dodging, fast attacks and signs to heavy armored tanking and the middle path of a little of both. The limitation on healing allows for tension and precision and can be challenging. Crafting is well implemented and can play a vital part in the game. Gwent, the mini card game is really quite fun but can be completely ignored if you don't enjoy it.

    GAME DESIGN: Great level design and a vast open world to explore. Secret passages, caches, and unusual ruins compel the player to explore. The exploration is also well rewarded with great story telling and really well developed characters outside of the main quest. The quest design is some of the best since the Secret World and many developers should take note of the quest design in this game as it sets the bar very high for the genre and for games in general. Even after completing the main story the remaining quests, even the ones that are low level, are enticing just for the stories that they tell.

    RECOMMENDATION: If you enjoy RPGs and well told stories this game is a must purchase.

    Before sharing my thoughts on CD Projekt Red’s “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” I just want to note two things. First, I am currently running into the Xbox One save bug that has been plaguing a lot of other players. However, while this is extremely annoying, I will not be factoring the bug into my impressions of the game. Just a friendly warning to anyone planning on playing on the Xbox! Second,Before sharing my thoughts on CD Projekt Red’s “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” I just want to note two things. First, I am currently running into the Xbox One save bug that has been plaguing a lot of other players. However, while this is extremely annoying, I will not be factoring the bug into my impressions of the game. Just a friendly warning to anyone planning on playing on the Xbox! Second, this review is more of a first impression, as I am still at the beginning of the game (10-15 hours in). My thoughts on “The Witcher 3” may very well change when I finally complete the game’s story.

    That being said, I am having an absolutely amazing time! “The Witcher 3” is not a game; it is an interactive experience. CD Projekt Red has managed to engross me in a way that few developers have. Everything is top notch! The characters, combat, narrative, and the world itself all make “The Witcher 3” a great adventure worthy of your time and money.

    The characters in “The Witcher 3” are all well written, something that I think is lacking in a lot of recent AAA games. Dialogue is believable and engrossing. Further, CD Projekt gives you just the right amount of control over Geralt’s responses. You are able to shape his actions as you see fit, but the White Wolf’s personality still comes across. I think that the game benefits from focusing on Geralt instead of letting players create a character, as is customary with most RPGs. I love how the inhabitants of war ravaged Temeria react to me as I roam the land searching for monsters to slay or my next quest location: taking on the role of Geralt makes me feel as though I am truly apart of the world. Playing as Geralt’s ward, Ciri, is also a lot of fun (though not nearly as engaging). Moreover, the narrative itself is very, very interesting thus far.

    Combat is a lot of fun. While it took me a bit of getting used too, fighting monsters is a smooth, deadly dance. I love diving to the side of oncoming attacks, springing up, and then using the igni sign (a fire spell) to light my enemies ablaze! Everything flows fairly well, though I occasionally have trouble with the targeting system. The game’s emphasis on preparation before combat is also interesting and enjoyable. Knowing your enemy’s weaknesses and preparing the right potions, using the correct signs, and applying the correct oil to your blade really pays off. However, you can also turn the difficulty down and enjoy fast paced, zero preparation combat if that suits you!

    The world itself looks beautiful, despite the graphical downgrades from the PC version. Characters look realistic and are well animated, while the environments in which you travel are detailed and vibrant. Exploring in “The Witcher 3” actually feels like stepping foot into another world! CD Projekt does an excellent job building the world in which you explore. From the comments of peasants as you walk or ride by to the many interesting side quests (which are all well-written and engrossing, unlike MMO-style fetch or grind quests), my time in “The Witcher 3” has been extremely engaging.

    I do have some minor gripes. I find riding Geralt’s horse to be a bit annoying due to slightly unresponsive controls, while the game’s inventory text is a bit small. Additionally, finding quest markers on the game’s world map can be frustrating. But these are miniscule gripes. Bugs aside, “The Witcher 3” is a fantastic experience so far!

    Despite its vast scope, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt tells a personal, intimate and touching story, filled with characters you’ll love and hate, and stuffed with monsters to slay. I completed the main storyline in around 50 hours and - yes I know this is a cliche - I’ve barely scratched the surface. The Witcher 3 is an astounding achievement.
