Great
Finished leisurely in 25 hours and this is by far the best RPG I've ever played. Its story writing is top notch (novel like; which is obviously one of the most important aspects about a long haul RPG) with very engaging main plot with masterfully interwoven subplots that influence one another and respond to your choices and then affect the world around you. . The characters are excellently portrayed and voice acted and really feel alive which endears you to them ( first time since mass effect series that I cared about the characters fate). Without mentioning any spoilers there are many truly memorable bittersweet emotional moments in this game which play on your heart strings. Just like previous Witcher games there is a grey morality action and consequence system with later unexpected repercussions depending on your choices; this truly is an RPG that responds to your choices with 3 different playable epilogues with hundreds of sub variations for the ending meaning the replay ability value is vast. The only story improvements I would have liked would have been there ability to meet in game characters at the end of the game when its still open world otherwise its very lonely wandering around the map. Also depending on who you romance during the main plot it would have been nice to have had a bit more romantic closure at the end (a cut scene or two rather than just voice over) otherwise it can feel a bit abrupt The gameplay is fresh and engaging without being repetitive, the world is a truly MASSIVE open world that rewards exploration and questing (no repetitive fetch quests here), and the graphically options on the PC mend bendingly comprehensive and rewarding. Ultimately a masterpiece. Lastly I continue to be impressed by the genuine conscientious approach to game development that a small company like CDPR has pioneered, towards fairness and quality in the industry. No money grabbing poor quality half finished product producing by massive corporations here but a really commendable attempt and developing at supplying a top notch product. THANKS CDPR!
