The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

I've been playing games since Atari. Ultima, Final Fantasy, Zork, Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls, whatever ...you name it. Played em all. This one is my absolute, all time favorite, best RPG ever. I didn't even much like The Witcher 1 and thought 2 was pretty good but way too ridiculous on the PC hardware requirements at the time. This one however, especially with PC hardware in the last couple years......AMAZEBALLS! Great graphics, runs super smooth, launched extremely smoothly then just kept getting better with updates. It's the best stories (because there are many stories here, not just one), best combat, best graphics (for it's year of release), best inventory system, best almost everything. The only non-my favorite things (for want of a better term, things I think could be or have been done better, but aren't bad as they are) the skill system, alchemy and crafting. The skill system is clunky and more skill points would be nice. Alchemy is almost pointless, but can be powerful if you use it. It's just...you don't really need to. Crafting sucks. Figuring out what dismantles into what and what combines into what to get that super expensive material you need to craft whatever is a pain. Easier to just use coin, which is easy to get. If you only use coin, crafting is pretty easy and boring. Then again, I have yet to find ANY game I like crafting in. If you're new to The Witcher series, you can happily start here without knowing the back story, but might benefit from watching one of the numerous videos on YouTube that catch you up on the back story. If you do start here, you won't be disappointed. It's like Skyrim, but with better graphics, combat, story lines and characters and you are Geralt, not some random dude/chick. Best RPG I've played and CD Projekt is the best game developer around. Fair, not greedy and super picky about their product. They make a great game.

Witcher series has been a true blast, while second game did enter iffy territory the third sequel just blasted away all competition as well as previous games. Story, attitude, immersion, world itself, nothing out there comes even close. If one can nag about something then it would be shop system and how resources you trade in have no effect what so ever on the game world as well as smallness of the winyard you get, i would of loved the ability to make that one into a fort or a castle :) However, this game is more than worth it's price, so get it, no, get all of them and do enjoy one of the good immersive RPG games of the millenia.

Engaging story where by halfway through playing you will definitely know all the characters names and what they're like. Side quests are also beautifully crafted. Whilst sometimes being a started investigate or fetch quest, they all have their own back storys and tragedies that are interesting to learn about. Rated as one of my favourite single player games alongside Uncharted and Assassin's Creed 2. Witcher 3 is definitely worth the 100s of hours put in

I love the Witcher series games, and Witcher 3 has the most content. The world in Witcher 3 is almost completely open with a huge amount of land and quests to explore. The main campaign with side quests took 100h for me, and it feels like I've only seen half of the game world, not counting the expansions.

Greatest game ever
