The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

Was, finally, going to pick this up during the last Christmas sale, but DRM put an end to that, making my game experience terrible (can't play it at all). Whether or not you agree this is DRM, please vote to let offline/non-Galaxy users get all content, and read on for more info: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/witcher_3_remove_drm Near the top of the page it says "Rewards for owning The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", which suggests they're rewards for OWNING the game, not using Galaxy, even though the description says you need to use Galaxy to get them. Offline owners are owners, too. Everything needs to be included offline. GOG's biggest features were old games and DRM-free. Now they DRM they're own games, which I'm not going to reward by buying. Check out the archive of their removed FCK DRM page, in which they admit this is DRM but, interestingly, they removed it: https://web.archive.org/web/20201225003258/https://fckdrm.com/

The fighting system is meh, but graphics and story is A+

Where to start I feel so overwhelmed, this is really the best game I have played in my entire life, I have more than 20 years playing on PC and I have played many types of games mainly RPG and this condenses all the good of the rpg of a a way that grabs you and leaves you ecstatic. First-rate story, beautiful and very realistic graphics, especially the landscapes that put you into their atmosphere, well-built characters that do not leave you indifferent and for which you develop a range of very human feelings that take you from laughter to tears without even realize it.

My all time favorite game, I just can't leave in in the past and keep coming back to play it. I have probably around 700 hours in it. I played this game in full 4 times, in two separate instances even completing everything on the map there is (unmarked encounters and all skellige loot too). Its hard to write review to do this game justice. In short graphics are still very good (especially with mods that they provided support for). Atmosphere is incredible, beside setting I really must highlight soundtracks as they are one of the best ones I've ever heard in game or movie. Nitpicking - fire, water, folliage could be better, also draw distance could be higher (adjustable). You can always find things to be made better :) I really liked gameplay (enemies, mechanics), its engaging but not too hard so it doesn't harm story telling. Except on Death march where everything is a chore to kill, tehnical diffculty not higher HP is what should make game harder. Similar goes for new game+ which I ddin't like, its better to just start from null. Now the main thing in this game is really the story. The main one is okay, you get involved, its interesting, with ups and downs, quite enjoyable. But it has problems with rushed ending, it emphasizes Wild hunt a lot but show us very little of them and decisions that determin outcomes are questionable. Despite that I still liked it, due to all great side missions and "3D - belivable" characters. BOW expansion is just the best, story, setting, music, writing, chracters. Superb. Almost the same goes for HOS, but mission "Great heist" - its too cliche and doesn't fit. Game as such has a lot of appropriation from movies and especially folklore. But its mostly very well done, fitting and a lot of times amusing. TLDR; Graphics and gameplay are great. Game has a vast world thats full of missions, encounters, easter eggs,... Its also thematic and stories are very well made and interesting, but some still have room for improvment.

An amazing game. I simply got sucked into the story and characters. The graphics were unbelievable on the PS4 when this came it basically set the bar at the time that games should use as a baseline.
