    If I had one wish, I would truly consider using it to forget I ever played this game... JUST so I can experience the BREATHTAKING and IMMERSIVE beauty that CD Projekt Red has created all over again. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a clear upgrade from its predecessor, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, and they made sure to keep the ingredients that made their Witcher series unique.

    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.

    I truly felt like this was more an experience than a game.    … Expand

    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.

    NOT PERFECT BUT STILL GREAT

    My first play through of Witcher 3 was 80 hours of main quest, side quest and Witcher contracts. A very good experience however I believe it loses it's direction at a certain point in the game. As a huge fan of Witcher 2, the third installment does the series justice but does not add anything revolutionary and feels like it is playing it safe at times. I was    NOT PERFECT BUT STILL GREAT

    My first play through of Witcher 3 was 80 hours of main quest, side quest and Witcher contracts. A very good experience however I believe it loses it's direction at a certain point in the game. As a huge fan of Witcher 2, the third installment does the series justice but does not add anything revolutionary and feels like it is playing it safe at times. I was satisfied with how they intertwined the characters from 1 and 2 (Triss, Vernon Roche, Vesemir, Zoltan, etc...)
    The open world is fantastic, detailed, and filled with plenty of creatures to kill. The citizens are lively, and convincing, and the mythology imbued is at times creepy and intriguing. After a while of playing the game, you realize that there is not much variety in the monsters fighting. They're are a good amount of different species that is not the problem. The problem is many of them are very predictable in fighting styles and can be as simple as attack, attack, dodge, attack. It is easy to predict movement and to parry or dodge. It doesn't;t feel like you are truly mastering over any creature or specializing any specific combos of swordplay, spells and potions. It's not very intuitive and feels dumbed down.
    The Witcher 2 had better combat in terms of this, it was challenging, and required you to prepare before the fight not during the fight. The ai was much more unforgiving than in the third. I believe this was simplified because it was to be more mainstreamed to broader audiences which is fine by me. I believe more people should be allowed to enjoy the deep lore and story the Witcher universe has to offer. I played this game on the third highest difficulty and plan to replay on new game + on Death March with different choices. However even on the third difficulty the game just wasn't;t that challenging at all like in Witcher 2. So I can imagine it won't be that much of a stretch on Death March difficulty.
    One of the curves that the Witcher has fixed at least is that it delivers a good story for an open world game especially for today. The first 50 hours are fantastic (Except for Novigrad which is pretty lame and is consisted of mostly running around quest). The story has rhythm in these first hours, the exploration is thrilling and self-rewarding. The repetition and formula of the game that is at it's weakest is the constant investigation tack ons. Press LT to use your Witcher senses... This will be like a constant nag, much like Navi the Fairy annoying without the "HEY" but still quite tedious.
    For me personally this game tried to hard at the story at one point. Also I understand that Siri is a main character in the books and plays an integral part but I think she sucks in this game. Every time she's in a cutscene or every time you have to play as her, you just want to get it over with so you can go back to Geralt's flow.
    In Witcher 1 and 2 Ciri was not visually seen only mentioned by a npc here and there with subtlety. So when you go right to Witcher 3, your reaction is, who dis? Well more like she doesn't fit in, and the same goes for Yennifer, who was hyped up since the first game and the final reveal was pretty lame. She's **** degrades Geralt sometimes and talks down to him like he's nothing, and treats everyone like **** and your telling me I have to like her because??? I had Geralt stick with Triss, they did more together in the video game trilogy that you the player visualized than what he and Yennifer did the entire third game.
    The worst part for me was what the game is actually titled. THE WILD HUNT... This was the lamest villain I have ever seen in an RPG to date! They terrorize the people back and forth looking for Ciri, bringing frozen blizzard like magic around them freezing their victims to death.
    SPOILER SPOILER
    These Lord of the Ring like villains who pretend dress as wanna-be Saurons, are just fancy elves from another dimension... Yeah, thats it! No explanation to why their voices change when they wear the mask, why they bring frost with them even though they come from a world that looks the same as our world. Absolutely stupid and more proof that this game at one point just did anything and figured everyone will love it. This was horrible and when compared to the Witcher 2 is an embarrassment. The Witcher 2 was so great because you could really play up the Witcher neutrality and literally not fight the last boss. You could just be like "Hey um, I get your side of the story Letho so you know what. I don't think fighting is gonna solve anything so let's just go our own way." Sure enough it works! And at the time that was awesome and truly gave that feeling of this is more than a fantasy game. The Witcher 3 falls into this trap sadly, after 45-50 hours, it turns into a generic fantasy game. I can tell you exactly where it falls short in the main quest and that is after the fight at Kaer Morhen when you gather your allies to fight the Wild Hunt.    … Expand

Not sure what order, but I will say, witcher 3 has the best sidequests I have ever seen in any game ever made. Sidequests are like full length storylines themselves! The areas explored White orchard, Velen, and Ard Skellige are incredible environments. The lore is every bit as good as Lord of the rings, game of thrones, or Star wars. The cutscenes are brilliant, the music is really good, the gameplay is not overly complicated but fun, and the DLC is the best I have ever seen any game get. One of the few games where DLC is done right and not a cash grab rippoff. I mean the Hearts of stone and blood and Wine packs could have been witcher 4, but they treated us to a masterpiece of a game that is difficult for any game to match. A masterpiece. .… Expand

    And only just recently I got Xbox one x 4k enhanced edition. A decided to give it a try... and I was blown away. First of all, the Witcher in 4k on 75'' TV looks stunning. To such extent, that when I play, my wife and my kind sit by my side to watch me playing (I need to wear headphones though 'cause NPCs swear alot). Yes, on a big screen this game is ultra-beautiful, player can really really immerse him/her-self in the game's world.
    Second thing - gamepad is way better for this game than keyboard. I'm a gamer for over 20 years now, and most of my life I played PC games using keyboard + mouse. No pads, never. This is the first time I must admit, that Xbox's pad may be better suited for this purpose. I'm not sure for typical FPS games, here mouse may be still more precise. But controlling the Witcher with gamepad seems so much easier, especially in combat, when you have all options (dodge, jump, fast attack, heavy attack etc) just where you need them. It applies to horse riding to - easy and convenient.
    I'm not going to comment on the story - I don't feel shattered by it, but its OK. For me that's secondary. But those 2 aspects - gorgeous graphics and great mechanics changed my opinion on this game, and also the rating - from 4 on PC to 10 with xbox one.
    I'm not going to play this game on PC ever again, that's for sure.    … 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.
