The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

Reinstalling the 50gb next gen version over stupid slow 5g internet to play again in 2025, the game is that good. People are recommending the "Brothers in Arms" patch from Nexusmods that fixes the bugs (5000+) that are still in the game. That being said when I finished the vanilla story a few years ago I didn't have any mods/patches installed and it ran just fine. But for the best possible experience in 2025 I am going to try a few of the QOL mods this time. Soundtrack is still probably best ever in a video game.

Skip all the negative reviews and opinions from other players. This game is on another level. This game is the G.O.A.T. . . . THE G.O.A.T. Forget you need any streaming services. Cancel any streaming service subscription you have. You won't need them. The story, the cut-scenes, the playthrough, the graphics, the characters, the music, the open world, the monsters, the possibilities with the easy to understand level system, etc., etc., this game is AWESOME!!!. It is soooo good and so great that even when it crashed into an error, I was not even mad. Just load the game again, and kept playing it. That's how a games should be made. CDPR, you guys nailed it.

The best RPG I have ever played and I have been playing PC games since the Commodore 64 was the the way to play RPGs. Playing the game from the begining through Witcher 3 gives you certain advantages, since your victorious endings are carried over to the next game. CD PROJEKT RED is simply amazing in their attention to detail in story telling and senic beauty. The Witcher books which take many ideas from actual Polish History, minus the monsters, although some of the actual enimies were considered monsters at the time, have been followed and enhanced within these story lines. I suggest, if you haven't already, buy all the games, read the books and start from the beginning, nice way to enjoy the quiet of winter when your not outside. Finally a very appreciated "Thank You!" to the folks at COG for the upgrade to Witcher 3 Game Of The Year addition. I had all the updates and DLCs already. It is a generous gesture from the folks at COG. It is nice to be remembered as loyal cutomer. Thanks again! I appreciate it! Al

The best RPG ever. Period. Immersive, beautiful, easy to play, incredible storytelling, mostly non-linear, opportunities to craft, explore, etc. Replayability with the "+" mode without starting over with your character build. Simply amazing. Cannot recommend more!

What can I add . Not that much but... DISABLE question marks and use quest tracking only when you are lost. Seriously- do it- this alone will elevate TW3 from GOTY to once lifetime experience. Apart from that .......this game, this game is one of these you may, if you are lucky, play decennial. For me it's up right there with FF7 and, seriously, I never thought I will say sth like that. Sure, leveling could be better so could be the crafting. Fighting may be more varied when it comes to enemy skills and tactics (please note expansions are much better here) but.... The storytelling is easily second to none in gaming, each single character is deep, mature and just realistic. The immersion of the world (again when one turns off question marks and quest tracking) is unparalleled. The quest composition and moral choices OMG are hands down the best I have ever seen (TW1.. Red dead redemption and Persona come close but no cigar...). So many times I walked away from my rig to think what just happened or which choice I should pick and so many times it was like ....wow DID I really do that? Really? OMFg...... This is one of the games that define genre and will be remembered for years to come...
