The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

Fantastic worldbuilding and incredibly immersive style of storytelling albeit bordering on a mildly repetitive MO to solve many quests (i.e. do the NPCs a favour to gain more information to progress ad nauseum); but indeed effectively countered by compelling character-writing, unique dialogue choices and acute attention to detail keeps each encounter different and exciting. Its stunning visuals and captivating soundtrack holds up to the standard of most AAA games to this day. The world-design is beautifully crafted and each one memorable, especially coupled with its subtle yet charming OSTs. The skillful voice actors breathe further life into mastercrafted characters provides an extensive cinematic marvel on par with Hollywood, Its combat system however can often times be stiff. Despite how the characters engage in combat in a 'dance-like' style, it falls victim to it feeling almost 'weightless' in exchange for looking flashy. Coupled with the slight need to micromanage, the overall combat system is difficult to get used to. Further downtroddened by an oddly narrow FOV, the controls may be disorientating in both combat and exploration. This is especially nausea-inducing during exploration of tight spaces, of which is an abundant in the game's main and side quests. That being said, this can easily be fixed with the help of mods.

Fantastic DLC

I've finished the game over 5 times and got it on PC and xbox. Never enjoyed a game as much as this one. The Witcher 3 is easily the best game ever made.

The whole game, stories, characters and quests, everything were amazing from the very beginning to the end. I hope that it is not the last RPG-game in the witcher world from CD Projekt RED. Love it!

I've played a lot of games during my life (and plan to continue, of course), from various famous titles to some smaller indie titles. It wasn't until a recommendation of my friend to go and try out this game. It changed my life, it changed the way I see entertainment industry and especially the video games. Witcher 3 is at the time of writing this review (5th of July 2020) in my opinon the best example of incredible story writing, world building and character driven RPG out there. From small starting zone of White Orchard to bigger locations like Skellige, Novigrad and Velen in the main game, to Oxenfurt in Hearts of Stone and incredible, one of the best looking area in any video game, Toussaint, a fairytale land and much much more. Witcher 3 changed my view on entertainment media - I am trying to become a part of this industry and movie industry. I've always liked good stories with amazing characters (good or bad) and Witcher 3 brings all of this and sometimes twists it in a way you couldn't have seen it coming. If you're reading so far into my vary vague review, here's the most important part - should I play this game? If you love good stories, well made characters and extremely detailed worlds ... don't even question it. Do yourself a favor and play this game. Experience the story, the characters, the art. Go and enjoy! You will never forget this, you'll come back to it in the future and it will change your view on video games. Even though it has some smaller cons when it comes to gameplay, they're so neglible that the game shouldn't deserve anything less than a title of masterpiece.
