The conclusion of Geralt’s game saga couldn’t be better. The large open world, great storytelling and dozens of hours of pure fun – this game is an absolute must for every RPG fan. [Issue#253]

Its shockingly cohesive world is as beautiful as it is demanding, and it's packed full of mature content that throws you from one emotional response to the next. Its storytelling is superb, its combat is grippingly refined, and its often unforgiving nature only lends itself to a brilliantly rewarding experience.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a thoughtful, diverse, and frequently awe-inspiring adventure. Its stories are deep and satisfying, unafraid to touch on themes of personal character, presenting players with choices and consequences that aren’t about turning into a hero or a villain. In the end, it’s quite simply one of the best RPGs ever made.

The amount of content we find in The Witcher 3 is outstanding, as is its quality. It is true that there are some aspects with some room for improvement, but it delivers such a rich and unique universe that you will soon forget about them.

The Witcher 3 is one of the most hyped games this spring, but it's also one of the best. CD Project Red has managed to build a huge world that is both interesting and entertaining to explore. Add to that a well-crafted combat system and good opportunities to customize your character.

It spends a great deal of its energy trying to impress the audience with unparalleled scope. The result is an experience that succeeds in its mission of being a grand experience, but commonly missteps when it comes to fundamentals such as combat, leveling systems, and user interface design.

The characters are well-written, the story is amazing with considerable depth, the difficulty can be excruciating at higher settings (and there's 4 difficulty settings, how often do you see that?), the exploration is endless, the interface and opportunities for character optimization are top notch, and the graphics...well, you don't need a review to tell you how incredible the graphics are. This isn't just GOTY, this is Game of the Last 15 Years. The only RPGs you can't rightfully place this above are classics like Planescape, Fallout 2, and Baldur's Gate.

The people complaining about the combat system are probably used to simpler combat mechanics and crutches like auto-adjust cameras and action bars. This isn't 2005 anymore kiddies, time to improve your dexterity.

The minor issues that can be annoying are the loading times (which seem short compared to games like Bloodborne but still noticeably long, especially if you're playing on Death March difficulty and die frequently), there's some pathing issues with the auto-run feature while riding Roach, the quest paths can bug out on the map overlay, and being a horse Roach should not have the hurdling issues that he does with some basic obstacles like rocks and felled trees. Regardless of these, the game is as close to perfect as you'll ever see. This game will be the measuring stick for RPGs for years to come.… Expand

Now critically speaking; this is actually a difficult game to tearThe Witcher 3 delivers on it's promise to be gigantic and full of life. Now critically speaking; this is actually a difficult game to tear apart without sounding ridiculous. One gripe I didn't personally experience was a few glitches, but it actually prevented my best friend from truly enjoying his time playing the Witcher 3. An issue I have with it is occasionally the minor quests feel mediocre and forced, but main and support quests are perfect. I had true feelings towards each character, so it showed the power of the story telling.

Overall: 9.6 out of 10
Deduction reasoning: Boring fetch quests are a drag.… Expand

The quests are interesting, graphics are amazing (and everyone who says that it's not, you can go and jerk off on Crysis at any time), loot is awesome (and everytime you get it, you feel unbelievable pleasure, especially the Witcher gear).
But there is one very difficult choice in the game. Who to be with? Triss or Yennifer? They both are amazing, and you can't be with both of them (well, with healthy relationship at least).
My verdict is 10 out of motherf*cking 10… Expand

Swords and gear do not really seem to make the difference. Skyrim beats it hands down when it comes to that aspect. Music gets a bit repetitive. Plus despite its size, I have never felt the urge to explore which is quite strange. Having said that, it is still an incredible game. Beautiful visuals, nice combat system and touches the nerve. Certain choices do have an emotional effect on you 9/10… Expand
