    I've been playing rpg's for more than 20 years and, until now, I've never been one to put any above others as a "king" of it's genre. But the sheer scope, atention to detail and how well it combines exploration, storytelling and it's own style of gameplay, warrants Witcher 3 that title.
    It's Story, characters, dialogue, quest/world/creature design are second to none of this genre. The world design can only be described as the most immersive, belieavable ecosystem ever crafted in any video game with an art style and atmosphere that perfectly captures architecture of mid european cities/village communities of it's historical time. 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.

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.

If I had to guess I would say teams were made up JUST for the side quests and kept seperate from the main story line people. Just when you think you are just about done with an area and have done all the quests and found all of the areas....more unlock. It is amazing.
    Also, every time I play no matter for how long I am taken back by the pure depth of color and attention to details in the scenery....from blowing leaves, flies, drips of water, storms, placement of the sun/moon...it is all just beautifukl.
    This is the best video game I have ever played.....pure amazing.

Besides that, the graphics are fantastic, especially the lighting effects. I've seen people on here say dragon age looked better.... that is a lie, dragon age lacks the environmental detail of witcher, if something in dragon age looks better, its because they are ignoring all other visuals in order to focus on one single element. The games amazing graphics and challenging combat system aside, you will easily spend 100+ hours enjoying this game, I am currently at 49 hours played with 7% of the game completed according to xbox. 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. And lastly the game has boobies, so that's always a plus, I can't remember the last time I played a AAA title with XXX sex scenes. Expand

Not to say that it's perfect. For all the wonderful things it does, it also tends to do some weird things. The controls for certain parts of the game (most notably the swimming and climbing controls) are absolute rubbish. And the story takes so long to get going that the ending will surprise most people cause it kinda comes out of nowhere after the slow pacing the rest of the game had. However the biggest problem are the bugs, especially on the X1. I have never seen a single-player game have so many game crippling bugs in my life. From Save bugs to slow down to cutscenes not loading properly to the game just not wanting to move forward when you hit certain points of the quest, there are so many problems that I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone right now. Once those are fixed this certainly is a wonderful experience but the bugs and freezes have to be taken into account and, in that regard, The Witcher 3 is a massive failure. Once patches are released to fix all the problems, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys these types of games. Till then I'd only recommend it to the ones willing to put with at least 1 freeze every 4 gaming hours and possibly losing your saves in the process. 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 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.

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. All in all, The Witcher 3 is a game that every Xbox One owner should own. Expand

Whats more, the game is actually good! I pre ordered digital and got a 10 percent discount so this masterpiece cost me £40!! 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.

    Also, I do like that the DLC is pretty much being handed to the players. It feels like the developers went against the current grain and made a game they would like to play and didn't tax the players. (This is where I glare at EA.)

    If you haven't played this game and you have a system that can run it well, I suggest at least trying it. The graphics are good. The story is good. The voice acting sounds like people actually tried to fit the context of the conversation.

    I have never been so scattered brained and put off by so much to do in a game. Its an awkward feeling and a first for me. This might sound negative but in fact its positive.. very much so.

    -Controls get a little 'assassins creed' on me.

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.

    Let me start of by saying this is the best game released this year, so far. There are many other that could kick it of the number one spot from my shelf.
    Game play is good, story is great and you can always intervene in situation were you would normally just be a spectator, combat system is better than the witcher 2 and plenty of side quests to go around.
    The graphics are amazing.

    Talking about bugs I've not witnessed many just your average floating/limbless/headless NPC. My biggest complaint would have to be the controls for Roach, your horse, he stops for no good reason in the middle of the road just because there is a small rock in his way but he isn't bothered by the walls that he keeps running into, and i simply cannot grasp how you would be able to jump over broken bridges, I simply can't do it even in order to save my life. Also there should be some way to implement a way for the enemies to level up with you, as a lvl 24 fighting lvl 5 monsters is really simple, but don't underestimate those downers, I can recall numerous times when i was nearly killed by low level mobs because i was too cocky.I guess on the PC version mods could be added, but what about the consoles? come on CD project red, give is that.
    If your a big fan of RPG, open world, or or not expecting every story to have a happy ending, you should pick it up.

    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.
