    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.

A single playthrough will take you about 70-80 hours if you rush, and can easily break 100 hours if you explore everything.

    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

The graphics are beautiful, combat responsive, simple yet with layers of complexity that develop with your ability and the voice acting and writing has that British sense of humour that fable did so well well with a few more obscenities and very creative insults. Quite simply the biggest gaming surprise I've had since the tomb raider reboot, it just does everything right and never feels dull or repetitive. I rarely used fast travel which says a lot for the quality and richness of the world design. Geralt may look like 'pale oaty s***e' but this game makes every other RPG pale in comparison to its glorious ambition and impeccable execution.… Expand

    CD Project Red hat eines wirklich geschafft. Eine rießige und immersive Open World mit einer packenden Story verbunden.

Einzig das Kampfsystem und die Charakterentwicklung sind nicht das was ich mir gewünscht hätte. Nicht falsch verstehen, wir haben in diesem Spiel ein solides, flottes und durchaus spaßiges Battlesystem bekommen. Allerdings fehlt es mir in Verbindung mit der erwähnten Charakterentwicklung an Aktiven Fähigkeiten (Wirbel, Zerfleischen und die Zeichen... nicht viel) und einer tieferen Charakterindividualisierung (12 Slots für Perks WTF).

    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'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!    … 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.

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.

Witcher 3's gameplay and deep mechanics set in the most vast yet detailed world ever digitally created, is at it's worst moments still downright amazing. 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

    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.
