    SCORE: 99/100

    The hype was worth it, and more. A morally grey world with the best quests ever made in a game. It is officially the best video game I have ever played in my life. It will stick with me forever. 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    SCORE: 99/100

    The hype was worth it, and more. A morally grey world with the best quests ever made in a game. It is officially the best video game I have ever played in my life. It will stick with me forever.

    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.    … Expand

    One of the best games ever made. For a guy who doesn't like RPG, I am in love with The Witcher III. And this game aged so well. Its 2020 and this game still holds up so good. Love the graphics and the gameplay. The leveling system is some of the best ever in a video game.

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.    … Expand

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).

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.

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''.

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 attacks, block them, parry them, or my favorite, sidestep them stylishly.

    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.

You will find the side quests feel as meaningful and part of the story as the main ones, and that they are highly rewarding. What else is rewarding is exploring. Exploring the map and the objects in it give you new patterns, weapons/armor, and even talent/skill points to make your character stronger, so you will highly benefit from playing the game freely versus sticking to the story line.

Well....this is asinine. Given this... I'm going to tell this now: Witcher 3 is NOT a sandbox. Open-world DOES NOT mean sandbox either. Some games, like Skyrim (to use the example so many people like to use as comparison) is a sandbox game without any narrative punch. You DO NOT play Skyrim to get a meaningful narrative with rich story telling and dynamic quests. You play Skyrim to mess around in an open world and do random things...nothing more. The Witcher is not that. If you want that....go play Skyrim.

    The Witcher has story telling elements akin to The Last of Us, Bioshock, etc....it just so happens to take place in an open world. But "sandboxing," traditionally conceived, is not its focus. Witcher proves that an open world game can have the depth of a linear story heavy game. If you want a game that pulls at your heart strings, makes you emotionally react to the decisions you make....if you want a game that presents to you meaningful and impactful choices...then Witcher is for you. Given that the Witcher's main goal is to present you to a dynamic world fraught with choice...it has succeeded...greatly.    … Expand

    Moving on to B) For me the day one patch has fixed most frame rate issues, It has been very solid so far with no real notable slow down; and I have yet to loss a fight due to slowdown affecting timing or anything like that at all (30 hours in btw).....* UPDATE I am now 90 hours in and thought I should update you to say I am now 20% through the game and I have done a LOT of exploring ect. I'm still discovering new things to do and the game is still suprising me and feels very fresh, I have no inclination to stop any time soon! Also I changed my score from 9 to 10!*
    And C) BUY THIS GAME!

    If you like RPG’s then you owe it to yourself to at least check this out.

    A lot of people have talked about the vastness of the world(it’s huge) as well as the depth of writing and scripting for not only the main quest but side quests and random encounters (this is all true).

    For me the main reason I love this game over Dragon age inquisition is that it’s the first time since Skyrim that I felt like I was at the start of a grand adventure and that my wandering and exploring would actually lead to interesting things to do.

    When I played Skyrim I wanted to search every knock and cranny of the whole map because I was constantly tripping over interesting quest’s, hidden dungeons , high level monsters and being rewarded with mountains of loot!

    That’s how this game feels, I have spent over 10 hours or so just wandering the map finding random encounters looking for loot and generally enjoying a bevy of diverse well conceived and entertaining content. Whether it be exploring a sunken ship wreck to recover a powerful sword or destroying monster nest’s and helping traveller’s on the road.

    All of this is before you even start on the actual proper side quest and witcher contracts of which there are many! and nearly all of them have interesting plots and characters for you to immerse yourself in.

    Then you have the fact that you’re choice have consequences that you wont always see coming and the dark morally grey nature of the world around you means choices wont always be easy or obvious.

    Plus the combat is deep and relies on timing, strategy and preparation as well as a very deep intuitive crafting and alchemy system and my god if it isn’t Skyrim all over again! (Goodbye Sunlight Ill see you in about 200 hours time).

    So summing up I love this game! It’s tough but rewarding, you are free to explore and discover things for yourself but without sacrificing story and good writing and there are no copy and paste missions at all.

    For me DA:I was a huge disappointment, sure some people love it and there’s nothing wrong with that, it isn’t a terrible game by any means; But it is flawed and I constantly felt like the game was just big for the sake of being big.

    Outside of the main story (which was great by the way) everything else to do in the world was basically just filler and it felt like filler. A couple of one line quest’s like “ I have lost a ring can you find it” find ring and return “ thanks” is fine but when nearly every side quest is no more complicated then that and everything else to do is rinse and repeat like , build a camp, destroy a portal! You quickly (or I did ) start to feel like your Playing a traditional RPG stretched at the seams and stuffed with Filler to be a big open world! The fact that you are forced to do all this boring filler stuff in order to progress the actually quite good story is infuriating and the whole thing ended up feeling shallow and lazy.

    The reason I have gone in to DA:I so much is The Witcher is the Exact opposite of that, it’s deep and diverse it has so much engaging and interesting content that it can be a bit overwhelming and it is generally stunning to look at with beautiful lighting shadows and particle effect that blow Dragon age away.

    A lot of people like Dragon age and a lot of effort went in to it which should be appreciated but 30 hours in I had lost all motivation to continue playing whereas the same distance in to Witcher 3 I literally can not stop playing.

    Say what you will it’s all personal preference but for me The watcher is the best designed, best looking RPG since Skyrim(and it obv looks better) It’s brimming with personality and is a time sink of the very best variety!    … Expand

Simply put, I've never played a game where I just don't even care if I get anything done at all!! most games I'm trying to rush here, rush there, get this.. The Witcher just makes me want to go through the game slowly and enjoy every part, including just riding my horse to random locations or playing a game of gwent with a random person I find. I seriously love this game...

    It feels like you are actually part of the world, CONSTANTLY making decisions that effect EVERYTHING. I haven't found a single mission that bores me yet and I've had the game since it released. Even the fact that once you craft a potion once all you need to do is meditate and the damn potion comes back makes the game so much more enjoyable. No running around spending hours searching for stupid plants everytime you need to refill a potion.

    I chose this game over Eldar Scrolls Online simply because I am getting older now with less and less time on my hands and I simply can't compete with younger gamers anymore. I don't come home looking forward to grinding out for hours and hours and hours every night because I simply don't have the time and I also just don't care enough. Single player is what made Skyrim so fantastic, and again the same reason why I love this game. I don't want to be dealing with other players, I just want to be in my own fantasy at my own pace.

    Seriously love this game, right up there with Skyrim. Only bad is the graphics aren't the greatest on the xbox 1 or ps4 from what I've seen. That means so little however that I'm still giving this game a mother******* 10!!! love it    … Expand

    Witcher 3 is a step forward in RPG's, It shows just how big and immersive you can make a modern day RPG.

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.… Expand

What stops this game from receiving a perfect 10 is the large number of bugs and glitches the game has, they really do ruin the experience of the game.

Graphics,voice acting and music are of the highest quality. Gameplay is vastly improved from previous title...it is still not as responsive as Bloodborne or has the same quality of animations such Arkham series, however it more than makes up for it with an amazing variety of creatures and different types of AI, preparation through alchemy, learning your foes' weaknesses through extensive bestiary, use of magic signs that you can also use on your environment to give you advantage, as well as other tools at your disposal such as bombs, crossbow etc.
    It is not without rough spots though...such as UI( Inventory system), AI ( horse riding), controls and camera as well as suffering from no small number of bugs/glitches. Honestly, until CDPR takes care of these things, I would give it a 9...however I'm rating it a bit higher to negate childish stupidity of those who downvote this game because they feel threatened by any game that surpasses their favorite title.
    This is not merely another great game...it's place lies next to titles such as Chronotrigger, Half Life, Morrowind and others...games that mark a generation and leave higher standards for others to follow.    … Expand

    Resolution could be better.

In TW3 you know that without even looking to sky, just because of animals, the foliage, the wind... Gorgeous.

    RPG: This is an action rpg right? Yes, but its so rich, potions, alchemy, magic, swords, shields, bow, xbox, they're not simple weapons to use, they're something else, they defines you, you cant just simple use them, you need to master it, enjoy and understand each weapon. The level, the customization is everything in this game, you cant simply add ability points, you need to link that with your combat style, with your way to play, with your way of live in this world. Books, stories. Imagine a Skyrim with more dense and fluid combat system, add an alive world that changes all times by your actions and decisions, now, you're only 10% of what TW3 is capable.

    Quests: They dont exist only to you level up, gear up, or end the story... They exist to make this world alive, i hate sidequests, but here you cant ignore them, they're as rich as the main ones. This game defines next-gen RPG.

    Actors/NPC: Facial expressions, finest voice action, fluid smooth, you imagine the NPC is really there, is not just something to tell you the story, they're alive in this world.

    Mine final opinion: This a must for an action gamer, a must for an rpg gamer, a must for FPS gamer, a must for everyone. This game change it all, to me it enter the same revolution as: Chrono trigger, First Doom, Final Fantasy 7, Half-life... This is the new level of future rpg, cant imagine if is even possible to match with it.

    I've never played its equal in an RPG. With Dragon Age Inquisition being ugly and highly disappointing, as far as story, visuals, controls, and a large but empty world goes, Witcher 3 is a breath of fresh air for RPG fans.

    Geralt is the hero adult gamers need, a perfect graduation from Link in Legend of Zelda.

It's a pleasure giving my hard earned money to this company because they deserve it, the earned it. Destiny cost me £45 plus another £35, and I played that game for one week before I gave up on that PoS.

    I have been looking forward to this for a long time and I am pleased to say it really did live up to the hype! Beautiful and huge world to explore. Every quest seems to have a story and choices within it. I like the combat system, and the idea of using potions and oils is really cool. Last night I accepted what seemed to be a regular side quest, and I ended up meeting a very important character from the Withcer 2!! I had goosebumps! I have already put in 10 hours and feel I have barely scratched the surface. I am out now and I am itching to get home, roll a fat one, and play some Witcher!

    This game makes both Skyrim and Dragon Age seem so tame. If you want some dark, scary and interesting stories, then Witcher 3 is the way to go.    … Expand

It is now my favorite video game of all time, and I can explain exactly why. As a fan of plot-centric and story driven games, I was always drawn to the witcher franchise, but similar to the problems I had with naughty dogs Uncharted games was that I felt that the linear structure, though it did sometimes added cohesion, was often quite detrimental to player immersion, as the levels are all walled off, and you feel constrained. This is why games like Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim, or better yet Morrowind, left such an impression. The connection that the open world nature of the game grants you is insurmountable in any linear adventure. So though I loved the other witcher games, i couldn't give them a perfect score. This however I can without question. It has the best story I had the pleasure of playing, some of the best and smoothest combat, and the deepest lore in an RPG I have ever experienced. For people new to the series or who just want a comparison to other AAA releases, imagine a mash up of Skyrim's world, Red Dead's immersion, and Shadow of Mordor's combat, and you get the masterwork that is the Witcher 3.… Expand

    Muchos años esperando este juego hasta que por fin pude tener en mis manos la Edición Coleccionista -un regalo de mi novia- y solo puedo decir que me ha fascinado en todos sus aspectos. La verdad no tengo muchas palabras para definir lo que me causo este juego, solo sentimientos con grandes recuerdos de los libros, de mis favoritos para siempre.

    Empezamos por la parte grafica que para    Muchos años esperando este juego hasta que por fin pude tener en mis manos la Edición Coleccionista -un regalo de mi novia- y solo puedo decir que me ha fascinado en todos sus aspectos. La verdad no tengo muchas palabras para definir lo que me causo este juego, solo sentimientos con grandes recuerdos de los libros, de mis favoritos para siempre.

    Empezamos por la parte grafica que para mí es excelente, tiene muchos lugares diversos y llenos de vida, en los cuales me perdí por muchas horas por ejemplo Novigrado es una ciudad muy bellamente diseñada me quede mucho tiempo en ella, también el modelado de personajes para ser un sandbox está muy bien conseguido. Puestas de sol increíbles, anochecer hermoso y sistema climático muy bueno.

    En el apartado de sonido es increíble, los encargados del audio junto con Percival hicieron un gran trabajo, música que acompaña cada momento y en ocasiones que solo me quedaba escuchando la melodía, una banda sonora épica.
    La historia es grandiosa y ese montón de guiños a los libros y personajes de juegos anteriores me dan una gran alegría. Ver a Yen y Ciri -que es de mis personajes literarios favoritos, la vi crecer y evolucionar durante los libros- simplemente me causó una emoción indescriptible. La toma de decisiones es demasiado genial, muchas que tomar durante la aventura y personas que a veces crees que ayudas pero no lo es así, este mundo creado por Andrzej Sapkowski es muy gris, no todo es lo que parece, no hay un bien o mal a veces bien definido, es algo que me encanto en los libros y aquí se plasma muy bien.

    En el apartado de misiones todas las principales están geniales y las secundarias igual, aunque algunas más simples que otras pero la mayoría muy bien hechas y con sus propias mini historias, que a veces involucran menciones a los mismos libros o personas de los otros juegos. La caza se monstruos es el punto fuerte, hay que averiguar sus debilidades y estudiarlos muy bien para poderles hacer frente, en niveles de dificultad altos hay que planificar todo muy bien, me sentí como un verdadero brujo.

    En el apartado jugable también me encanta muchísimo, es una evolución de lo que vimos en The Witcher 2 pero mucho más ágil y en el nivel mas alto hay que ser muy cauteloso y saber utilizar muy bien las señales de brujo. Las diferentes armaduras y armas nos dan ventajas pero también desventajas ante ciertos rivales. El uso de pociones y aceites esta genial y hay que saber bien como y cuales aplicar para hacer una pelea bastante equilibrada con algún rival fuerte o monstruo. CD Projekt ha querido calcar mucho ese baile que hacen los brujos al pelear según lo descrito en los libros y lo hace muy bien.

    Obviamente no hay juego perfecto, tiene algunos pequeños errores gráficos y otros en el combate, uno que otro bug menor pero en sí nada que haya afectado mi experiencia de juego pero es parte de hacer este mundo tan grande pero tan bien detallado, no hay juego perfecto pero si juegos hechos excelentemente bien y con amor.

    Los minijuegos muy bien implementados, Sardinilla a veces se controla un poco extraño pero en términos generales cumple, las cartas me pareció un juego muy divertido y los puños algo parecido a lo que era en The Witcher 2. El sistema de navegación está bastante bien y para mi es bastante entretenido navegar por ratos.

    En definitiva es una saga que amo muchísimo me ha dado grandes momentos desde que tuve la oportunidad de leerme todos los libros y empezar a jugar The Witcher 1 fue una experiencia sublime, ver como muchos de los personas que leí cobraban vida en un medio como este es magistral. The Witcher 2 también me encanto en todo y este que analizamos, obviamente desde una perspectiva totalmente subjetiva es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado y de los mejores juegos de rol en mi top.
    Nada mejor que un estudio lleve una de tus obras favoritas de la literatura a un videojuego y mas que sea épicamente en tu genero favorito que es el rol. Vamos a esperar con muchas ganas la expansiones, ojala traigan mucho contenido.

    Muchas Gracias Andrzej Sapkowski por crear tan hermoso pero real mundo literario, con personajes carismáticos y temas de muchas importancia en el ámbito social, económico, filosófico y Muchas Gracias CD Projekt por llevarlo y ampliarlo de una manera tan magistral a los videojuegos. Te has retirado de la mejor manera mi gran amigo Geralt de Rivia. Hasta Siempre.    … Expand

It is so refreshing to come across a developer in this day and age of cheap commercialism we live in, who actually gives a stuff about the customers it provides for. Firstly, I would like to start by saying that I have been gaming for over 20 years, a mixture of PC and various consoles. I would describe myself as a hardcore and difficult to please gamer, I can spend 15 hours a day gaming if I get a day off work and from the wife. So it is not something I enter into lightly when I state that this game is RPG perfection. The story is immersive and draws you instantly. Never have I been so emotionally attached to fictional game characters and cared so much about choices which affect them. The depth, thought and passion here is evident, with humour, sadness, intrigue and progression all morphed into a experience like none other I have seen before. Side quests seem endless and are not just shallow errands but interesting sub plots that give the main story more flesh and meaning. The only downside I can see is of you are short on time for gaming, as I have put over 70 hours in so far and the majority of that has been spent on side quests and Gwent, the ridiculously addictive mini card game. Moving onto combat; simple, yet deep. Easy to learn, yet tactical and often challenging. The perfect balance is achieved here. Victories are rewarding and I find myself looking forward to combat events and savouring them as they come and go. The combination of signs, close combat and range offers variety and opportunity for experiment. I can only comment on the hardest difficulty setting which I have chosen for my first play through which is very challenging, yet it forces you to fight smart and to not rush through. Freedom of movement; something which was not present in the second witcher game but which they have nailed in every way. Hundreds of locations to discover and endless areas to explore. Chance meetings are common which in turn generate spontaneous events and quest lines. The interface and levelling up is simple and works really well with a tutorial menu which explains just about everything you need to know. After over 20 years of gaming I can honestly say this is possibly the best game I have ever played. And cd project red have proved themselves one of the best developers of our current times. They respond swiftly to small in game issues with patches and seem ever interested and receptive to fans views and concerns alike. When you compare them to the likes of ubisoft and EA who spew out the same game every year with a different name, CDPR are at the top of their game. And I just hope that they get the support and rewards they deserve so they can continue to show up the big profit only driven corporations who don't care about the customers, only lining their pockets. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy the Witcher 3 as much I am… Expand

    There is just one thing that i don't understand it's that People start on this game and upload youtube videos and sooner stops uploading despite how great reviews they have published everywhere. When i found out what the issues was for the most part was they thought the story is too long, they don't get any likes on the gameplay videos, i thought that sounds nonsense and stupid because they have played Skyrim and other games that are long so i don't know what the diffrence is actually.

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

    Witcher 3 is a perfect example of how to do an open world RPG with in-depth quests. Unlike Dragon age, Witcher 3 is more down to earth and gritty in its presentation and lore, which is a huge compliment.

    One of my top 3 favorite games of all time and the standard that all future Action RPGs will try to replicate.

The Witcher 3 is a tremendous accomplishment by CDPR and you don't want to miss Geralt's final chapter whether you're a long time fan of the series or a curious newcomer. The Witcher 3 is one of the few sequels that uses the "bigger and badder" formula and actually significantly improves over its predecessor.

I have played a lot of games since the 90's including all the top titles, however this is undoubtedly the greatest game of forever.

    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    … Expand

    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.
