    After completing this on the PC I wanted to try the Xbox One X enhanced version of this game and experience it in 4K with HDR. You get two graphics options, one with dynamic resolution scaling that tries to stick to 60fps or true 4K mode, which runs at 30fps. I choose the 4K mode, and after a few minutes the slower frame rate stops being noticeable and you can explore Velen, Novigrad andAfter completing this on the PC I wanted to try the Xbox One X enhanced version of this game and experience it in 4K with HDR.

I choose the 4K mode, and after a few minutes the slower frame rate stops being noticeable and you can explore Velen, Novigrad and Skellige in stunning 4K. This game is simply glorious - in fact it has set a bar so high that very few games since have been able to hold my attention. The story is fantastic, the characters are very grounded and you feel as though you are just one person in a world that could happily carry on without you. Not to mention the music, which is the best I've ever heard in a video game. Overall CDPR have created a masterpiece. Expand

    I've played a lot of games in my life but I'm certain nothing tops this, the best I've ever played it's a true masterpiece. I'm not a one genre person but in terms of RPG I didn't think anything would top the elder scrolls games, this just blows it away. I'm just gutted I was a late to the party when I finished my first play through in 2018 and just recently finished my second.

    Witcher 3 is the goat. Words can’t describe how perfect this game is. If you think it is bad you are objectively wrong.

    One of the best open-world games of all-time, with enough content to keep you busy for 100+ hours, easy.

    It's definitely a top 3 game of all time! I'm not sure it can be topped if I'm being honest.

    One of the very best games i have ever played. Would recommend it to anyone who likes RPGs. I stumbled onto it after watching reviews for AC Origins and have to say that this is better than any AC game by a long way. Combat is a little button mashy but in no way detracts from the excellent story or game play.

    An absolute masterpiece in open world gaming and story telling in general. This is a must play game for any open world RPG fans, and this game is an RPG in the truest sense. You really feel like Geralt as you play. Definitely the most immersive fantasy RPG I've ever played.

    Probably the best game I have ever played (and I have played a ton).
    Setting, gameplay, soundtrack, all gives you the feeling of being in an alive world, in which your actions can SOMETIMES worth something.

    It has a HUGE PROBLEM though: after you finish it, this game will ruin your experience with every other game out there, because they are not polished/well done enough.

    The best game I have every played. I've long been a fan of the RPG genre, but The Witcher 3 stands apart. Unlike most other games, you cannot jump in and hope to slash your enemies to death.

Read the lore, apply oils, prepare your signs. Each monster requires almost a unique approach, and even once you are familiar with the way to deal with a monster type, the combat is slow enough that you can appreciate the interaction. I would recommend this game to everyone - and the DLC Blood and Wine is among the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, including real life. Expand

    It just awesome experience. No words! I want to be an objective, so that's my ratings:
    Graphics: 7/10 - very nice face effects, and looking at all, but bad 2000's and triangle graphics a lot of time, and escpecially in cutscenes we have some visual disappointments(remember Ciri eating "nothing" by hands(!) in scene with baron). But overall quality is pretty well.

    Storyline: 10/10 - we have some little plot holes, but it's excellent experience, just had a lot of fun. A long, strong story with a lot of emotions.
    Gameplay: 9.5/10 - we have a lot of interesting and emotional tasks, just very fun to deal with, and of course - Roach, I love horse mechanics, and this one is especially good.
    Combat system: 9/10 - bunch of weapons, elixirs, different additional weapons, it's very well developed.
    World fill: 10/10. Large map, full of different locations and interesting places, each with it's own atmosphere, never get tired to explore them all.
    DLC: 10/10: Two marvellous dlc's each one has "game" size, interesting stories, and a lot of new mechanics and gameplay features. Especially having own house.
    So, it's strong 9 average, but with adding my own warm experience, it's a pity that metacritic don't allow you to put the digits it will be 10. I love this game too much.

    As a person who actually has played this game, I can easily say it’s in my top three favorite games ever made. Also for those who say it’s boring, ITS A LONG ASS GAME, so your going to have to get used to the game being quote on quote “long and boring”. Just enjoy the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best Open World I have ever played.
    The Story is a masterpiece, it starts off great and no other story except the one RDR2 had, kept me hooked on it. I could not turn it off. Every Character you meet is well acted and is interesting.
    The World is absolutely amazing. Its a world that I simply did not want to fast travel, beautiful views, awesome towns and superior atmosphere.
    The Combat is excellent. They compared great combat with awesome magic and a legendary music.
    The strength of the open world often is not its main story, yet its side quests and other things to do. The side quests is absolutely awesome! Every side quest is interesting in its own way and intriguing. The romance is also on point, with Yennefer and Triss.
    In Overall this game is a perfect open world, excellent combat and excellent story. The best open world, shoulder to shoulder with the world of RDR2.
    A remarkable and essential experience which i recommend to everyone.

    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.
