    for me the game of this generation (with network dead redemption 2).
    It is the best rpg I have played with a duration of 100 hours a great open world with many secondary misons a combat that although it is not the best in the world meets and is a recommended purchase

    I gave zero score because of a problem who made this game unplayable for me, the movement system.
    Not the combat movement system who is reasonable (maybe even good). But the character normal and horse riding movement.

    Couldn't they make he move like in DOZENS of successful games like Fallout or Skyrim? Is that difficult?    … Expand

    A beautiful world in grousing game with great characters and story's to be told this is definitely an amazing RPG experience my only complaints other then nitpicks would have to the combat which isn't bad but gets repetitive quick and really got to me the end. Not a reason not to play the game but important non the less. Also get the DLC with the game if you do there both really good.

    To the point.

    There are just games that need to be played to experience how far gaming has come. Frogger, Pitfall, Zelda, Goldeneye, GTA series, Last of Us etc. Witcher 3 is one of them. I have never in my life showed real emotion in a games storyline like I have with W3. Choices have consequence, imagine saving a puppy from a near accident, nursing him to health and then releasing    To the point.

Why the F did you not just leave the puppy inside the house....

    Yep that’s this game. It may not be until 30 hours later that it gets you, but know this. It will get you. Somehow, someway. This game reaches in a pulls your heart or conscience out at least once to the point, that months after you’ve stopped playing it, every time someone brings it up, you will talk about it.

    Combat is a curve but an awesome one at that. Once it’s mastered you feel linked with Geralt, and the two of you are unstoppable. The locations, characters, armor, weapons, side quest/games are so vast, I challenge you to find a third of them, not using the net.

    CDPR managed to create a world that completely engulfs you in its incredibly detailed hillsides, mountains, villages, towns and general scenery. The story that you follow is phenomenal and will have you dying to get to the bottom of Geralt's troubles. The DLC is equally good and introduces a number of new characters, weapons, and even game mechanics.

    You're met with sophisticated dialogues, world choices, and a perfectly dark lore throughout side quests that truly accompany the plot. The combat and gameplay is smooth, responsive, and rewarding. You actually feel like your time spent with Geralt is crafting his character; from slaying a monstrous enemy to traversing the world for new gear, every aspect of this game just seemed so fulfilling.

    Literally any other voice-acted RPG i can name, across any platform (including Witcher 2), does not have this... quirk. When your AAA release gets flossed on by KOTOR... yeah, not impressive.

    This game does not deserve a 9+. The game seems to have a lot of things to do, but when you take a step back the game is about rather than quality.

    - Quests are terrible. I wish they had been more creative.
    - Story is lacking. Feels very diluted and stretched thin.
    - Characters are not very likable.
    - Combat is clunky
    - Game is buggy, as expected of Bethesda..

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''.

    - 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.

    I rarely ever give praise to a game in this modern era, let alone a 10/10 rating (95 rounded up), but this game is truly a masterpiece. 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 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.    … Expand

Moving the horse in tight spaces can be frustrating but the pros in the game far outweigh any cons.… Expand

    Wow! Just bought the complete edition after this game had been out for a while because it was on sale and I was pleasantly surprised! This game has a seemingly endless amount of content and story (I still haven't finished it!) The voice acting and storytelling are superb, the fighting and quests are really fun. Sometimes my girlfriend will just come watch me play because it is that entertaining.

    +Очень хорошая и проработанная RPG
    +Есть 2 dlc которые оправдывают свою стоимость . Они добавляют новых интересных персонажей , интересную историю где твой выбор много значит . "Крови и вино" вообще прекрасное дополнение , которое добавляет новую огромную очень красивую локацию , и новые интересные побочные и сюжетные квесты . Ещё появилось много разных монстров

    -Простой , очень упрощённый , сюжет
    -Большое количество багов . (Мне например сильно мешал баг в Гвинт'е , я очень долго не мог победить в Гвинт'е одного персонажа , после 20-30 мин. игры я выигрывал но игра перестала отвечать на нажатия мыши , и так не только у меня)
    -Техника боёвки многим не нравится , и люди из-за этого бросают игру (лично мне понравилось)
    -РУССКАЯ озвучка часто багает
    -Не каноничный Геральт , и вообще много несовпадений с книгой
    -NPC часто тупять , например когда ты идёшь , прыгаешь с лестницы , получаешь немного урона , и весь город в страхе , нет , в УЖАСЕ убегает от тебя , и очень сильно орут
    Стоит упомянуть очень незначительные минусы:
    1. Нет мультиплеера или кооператива , "CD Projekt red" заявила что "The witcher 3 wild hunt" это последняя часть серии , ну в последнею часть серии всё таки стоило добавить хотя бы подобие кооператива

    This is now my favourite game of all time! I played The Witcher 2 and after hearing The Witcher 3 was coming I was so excited. It was a long wait but totally worth it. The story and the characters are amazing. Even the sidequests felt like they were main story because they were so detailed. I don't even remember how many times I've already played this game. Definitely worth playing through.

The game has 4 open world maps filled with real content and not fetch quests.Having played the Witcher 2 I didn't need much convincing to pre-order the game with the season pass. CDProject Red has really improved their story telling here. Those that are new to the series won't need to play Witcher 2 to understand what's happening but you'll get a little more out of your play through if you at least know the synopsis for the two previous games and or if you've maybe read the books and are somewhat familiar with the World of The Witcher.

    Pros
    --Great Combat, fun and challenging. this game is filled with a huge variety of monsters/enemies that can take you out quickly if your not paying attention.You won't be able to button mash your way through it(unless your on the easy difficulty).
    --Massive,Immersive Maps lots to see and do, you'll explore several unique locations.
    --This game has some of the best side quests of any RPG. They are all very enjoyable.
    --Good Character progression, a far more challenging experience then your run of the mill RPG's. The game kept me on my toes through my entire play-through but didn't force me to spend several hours grinding in-between missions to keep up either.
    --The great Voice acting,Theme music/Score really help bring the Witcher 3 Story to life.
    --Interesting well thought out characters with creative backstories all with their own unique faces,body shapes,weight and height. I'm tired of the Mannequin NPC's in every single game, It really takes away from the immersion when everyone looks exactly the same but with a different coloured outfit or different amount of facial hair.
    --None of that "To be Continued" nonsense. The Witcher series was a deep evolving story with a proper ending(multiple unique endings in fact) and not some annual cash grab like most other franchises have become.It's nice to see a Developer take a break from one beloved franchise and work on something new and different. I'm more excited about the future release of CyberPunk 2077 then I would be for The Witcher 4.
    --The inclusion of free DLC was a nice touch. You get a handful of new side quests,weapons,armors and Cards. they could have easily charged another $10-20 on pre-orders for this content or locked it behind the Season Pass but they didn't. You won't find find any Horse armor DLC here but you can get some for free in Toussaint when you Play the Blood and Wine expansion.

    Cons
    -Annoying User Interface before the 1.05 update
    -some minor bugs/glitches mostly in the later parts of the game which got a bit worse with 1.03 update but still nothing game breaking. Did my first 50+ full main quest play-through without crashing once and only noticed a handful of minor bugs.I only crashed a couple times on my second play-through after the 1.05-1.07 updates but most bugs have been ironed out with the last few Updates plus they further improved the UI/invetory management and added a ton of other goodies.
    --It's very hard for anyone to complain about a game with this level of Post-Launch Support. I can't remember any other developer in recent history doing weekly to bi-weekly to monthly updates for any single player game, in fact they put out 20 in just over a year. That's like 15-19 more then big name Developers like Bathesda,Bioware,Ubisoft will do for an entire life cycle for their games and they'll also take their sweet time doing it cause they need the man power for that awesome Horse Armor DLC and since when is it a requirement for NPC's to have faces in games, Some bits of hair, two creepy floating eyes,nose and lips with below average acting/story/gameplay will get you 8-10 out 10 on IGN or Gamespot every time so why bother.

    --The Witcher 3 although not perfect is still a 10/10 game and worthy of the 300+ Awards they've received.I'm glad they're working on a new game and not trying to push out a half-done cookie cutter style sequel every year like everyone else.    … Expand

The Witcher 3 does not break that chain, it comes with about 47 hours of main story time, 99 and a half hours with the side quest, with a total of 164 hours if you attempt to find everything the world has to offer. It is the third game in its series of games written based off a series of fantasy books from 1992. Which in you follow around Geralt of Rivia a Witcher or monster slayer who goes around the world slaying monsters with bounties on them. A competitor in the world of open world games is Fallout 4. A game in which you are a survivor of nuclear fallout and have to explore your world to attempt and fix the world around you. Its main storyline is 24 and a half hours, 75 and a half with side quests, and 145 if you try to find everything in the nuclear wasteland. The games are both highly rated with the Witcher winning game of the year in 2015. The Witcher has more playtime and an well made combat system, but has a lot of glitches around the world the developers couldn’t find. While Fallout 4 has a more expansive arsenal and more personalized character with mods to go along with it. In the end because of its expansive world and vast story line along with the combat system, I give the Witcher a 9/10.    … Expand

Even the mini card game, gwent is so much fun that it is getting its on separate console version. The characters and story are what hold this large and lengthy game together. In a time where many action RPG's rely mostly on fetch quests to fill the game, the witcher 3 uses its amazing world, deep dialog, and variety of enemies to keep the game feeling fresh 10s of hours in. Battling multiple, high leveled enemies is very dynamic and challenging however even with the Witcher's deep mechanics, the game's intuitive design allows for players to fight the way they want while allowing a lot of room for growth and mastery. Whether you want to be a heavily armored swordsman or an agile powerful mage, every attribute allows for players to become stronger, but does not group you into a class. Even in such a large playable space, I never found myself bored. The detailed world, filled with enemies and secrets, builds on the rich story and provides its own way of teaching you the history of the land. Never have I felt as compelled to tell as many people about a game as I do with the witcher 3. It is a game that bridges the gap between action, fantasy, RPG, and deep narrative. If you have an interest in any of these genres then this is a must play. CD Projekt Red is, if not the best, certainly in the top 3 developers in the world. 10/10… Expand

While I recognize the INCREDIBLE technical achievement that the game is, my reason is very subjective. I was let down mainly by the lack of customization with the main character and couldn't really immerse myself in the universe/lore.

    I'm a gamer who wants a total blank slate with my main character and full control of gear. It's really hard to get into a game for 100+ hours when you just don't find the character interesting. It was very bothersome to be pigeon holed into Geralt and only allowed to outfit him with 2 sword types and armor, that's it. Again, I recognize how impressive the amount of gear is in the game but it's still within this restrictive context. The reason I've played Fallout for over 200 hours is the total customization of your avatar/character.

    Also, similar to my experience with the Elder Scrolls games, I just didn't find the universe to be as immersive as others. If you don't see the appeal in the source material that influenced the Witcher, then you aren't as into it no matter how good the gameplay is. That being said, the gameplay design overall is a cut above and I did enjoy it for 10-12 hours.

    Ultimately, a game like this requires a true investment of time and I just couldn't get over the hump to that next level for the reasons listed above. Still a game that should be commended for being a true piece of art and work of passion in a hobby that too often just releases straight up **** to make money.    … Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    The Witcher 3 has become my favourite game of al time! This is the first time in a game that I have not passed any cutscenes and dialogues because the characters fill so real ! I can't wait for the next DLC. It would be great if they could improve the UI and the inventory system for the equipment.

    This is a must have game for anyone who loves RPG games!

I reviewed this game earlier this year, making a lot of comparisons to Skyrim. I made the mistake of reviewing the game before completing it! and now I absolutely want to change and update my review.

    Last time, my main complaint was the lack of "vastness" that the game had in both exploration physically and in the story, mainly compared to Skyrim. I still have to say there still has been nothing like the incredible, sweeping, and varied environments and landscapes of Skyrim, but really what has changed my mind was one word/ place: Skellige.

    FINALLY! Here are the beautiful mountains, sea, and variation in altitude I was looking for! The little villages with their own interesting people and mini-cultures! Different monsters and villains!

    Also, once you get to Skellige, the story ramps up in major ways, both centrally and peripherally.

    And that's the last thing that has really, really swayed me. Whereas in Velen and Novigrad, you are mainly doing fetch quests and seemingly going nowhere in the story, once you finish the Skellige quests, finally major things start to happen that really suprised me and took me for quite an enjoyable ride, and the last few missions and the ending really, really put a nice little icing on the cake.

    Actually, I'm not sure how you can finish this game and not immediately want to play it again.

    I also wanted to add a few extra points for the Heart of Stone add-on. I really enjoyed- again it starts slow, but ends unexpectedly. I had to look up a few things to end it the "right" way; Gaunter O' Dimm/ Master of Mirrors is a GREAT character. Don't waste your time on the Runewright missions though- just a money dump- poor show!!

    I am playing the New Game + on Death March now. Really the only critiques I have are some of the mechanics. The horse riding can get a bit clunky, especially when you are enjoying yourself, riding like the wind, and then...ooops, the game decides that THIS is the hill/ cliff that the horse can't jump done. JUMP you F__KER! The transition between swimming and getting on land also can get pretty irritating, as sometimes you can't find one f--king piece of shore that the programmers have made "climbable." But then sometimes, it SEEMS like Geralt is going to get on shore, but then randomly JUMPS the OTHER way back on to the shore- this can get pretty irritating after a while. I wish they would fix this.

    All in all- great f--king game and can't wait for Blood and Wine!!    … Expand

    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!

    Levelling is incredibly slow and if you make a wrong choice on which skill you upgrade good luck to you, it took me countless times to get through the caves when I followed the wild hunt because I didn't know I needed certain things like upgrading a specific magic skill and having bombs but could I go back and do these things? No. The inventory system is a mess, quests are run of the mill fetch and kill, Geralt sounds like a depressed clint eastwood character, difficulty levels on quests are random so one side quest could be easy and the one next door next to impossible. Just lazy design work hidden behind the justification of explore and come back idealogy.
    Games like Baldurs Gate did this type of thing so much better back in the day and this is really just a FP version of those games not done as well.
    Graphics are nice and some of the story beats are good but they are hiding a sub par game. Unfortunately everyone seems to be going gah gah for this game and it will probably get game of the year looking at the reviews but buyer beware you have to ignore a lot of shortcomings and be prepared to put up with a lot of lazy design here.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

And that's my feeling for several parts of the game, like buying/selling items acquired, certain crafting professions, and leveling - they all are half baked here and, while they work, all of these things are incomplete in their design and execution. I hate having to scroll with a thumbstick just to get to items are are for sale. These are all things Dragon Age: Inquisition, a game that is comparable to Witcher 3, did much better. But when you get out into the world you might let this all go, because it's a gorgeous game for being dumbed down (graphically) on consoles and is very expansive.

Landscapes are beautifully drawn and attention to detail on things such as grasses and bushes blowing in the wind, clouds in the sky and city-scapes are all stunning.

Speech samples are faultless - You'll encounter many hundreds of characters on your wanders throughout the game, and nearly all of them will have something different to shout at you as you pass - often quite amusing. Character acting is also excellent (strangely - other than Geralt). There are SFX for just about everything in the game - probably the most impressive thing about the experience of playing it.
    Gameplay-wise, these witcher contracts (generally side quests in the game) are pleasing to undertake. The variety of enemies you'll encounter, in terms of appearance, behaviour and abilities means that you're never assured of an easy time. The combat system in the witcher is generally satisfying to use as well, once you've mastered it. Many of the plot lines of the quests are also extremely interesting and immersive at first, and involve many interesting characters - all with enormous amount of detail paid to them.
    In terms of challenge, things can be fairly tough at times, even once you've become accustomed to the rigours of battle.
    What keeps this game from being an all time classic and sees it as merely very good are the fact that it seems to contain numerous flaws. It is all too easy to misjudge a battle sequence and end up dying unavoidably - cue the incredibly frustrating long loading time until you respawn from your last save point.
    The writing on the in game menu's is far too small, there are far too many graphical glitches, certain elements of the game can become repetitive, storylines drag on a bit too long at times.
    All of these things are not major problems on their own, but unfortunately add up and prevent a great game from being an incredible one.    … Expand

    Having never played the previous two games in the series, I picked up this one as a curiosity, something to play while waiting for other games to be released. over 100 hours later, I'm still playing, and it is without a doubt the best game I've played this year.

This game is simply a master class in how to do narrative games right: quest design, writing, voice acting and animation, all are top notch, and should raise the bar for the whole industry going forward. Yes, the lore is dense, and the combat learning curve is steep at first. But learning both was ultimately rewarding, and complimented the story instead of detracting from it, or being completely detached from it. As I didn't play the game until months after it came out, I can't say for certain how many bugs were present at release, but I can say that, a few graphics glitches and occasional crashes aside, I encountered relatively few issues, and no unrecoverable problems. Many thanks to the team at CDPR for creating such a fantastic game, and for pushing to do better with each product they release, instead of resting on past laurels as so many other game companies have done.… Expand

    A great game, combat is fluid and easy to pick up, and the world is ripe full of stuff to explore. The story is easily one of the best I've played in years, with choices actually mattering and affecting your end result. I love this game and am currently playing through it for the third time!

    Beautiful open world but the combat gets really repetitive. Deep story that will require a decent amount of play to get into. If you sit in front of your monitor for hours a day this story is for you. Not really a game for you unless you have a lot of time to devote to it.

    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.

    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.

    Not quite the technical masterpiece we hoped for, but the mild disappointment soon melts away. The Witcher 3 is a huge, engrossing time-sink of a game that you'll happily spend dozens of hours on. [Issue#125, p.74]

    The CD Projekt Red surpassed all expectations and they really managed to combine a megalomaniac open world with a strong story. Witcher 3 is a masterpiece, which you will talk to your grandchildren about.
