The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This game is incredible. Easily a game of the year contender. While I think that game of the decade is overdoing it, it certainly is one of the best games ever made. However, it is not without its flaws. It has pretty ok combat, but easy to exploit using a shield and rolling. Also, some praises to this game I do not understand. Yet, I recommend this game. Its fun to just walk around and explore. For the most part, bugs and optimization have been fixed, however, there are still some bugs. One time, for example, a person was flying around in a cutscene. Pick this up. I would have been fine paying $60, and yet, I payed $30.

I've never played a Wticher game before but this game has been phenomenal so far. I am blown away by the graphics, from shadows to water refraction, and from facial features to realistic hair. I have every setting turned to the highest value (including hairworks and the like) and have the draw distance on max. I experience no noticeable lag at 1080p (haven't measured the frame-rate, but I do have vsync on so no higher than 60fps). The game will occasionally skip a few frames in a stutter, but this happens ONCE every few HOURS, if at all. I don't think that's anything to worry about. This is running on a GTX-GeForce 970M with 3GB RAM and the Intel i7-4720HQ with 16GB of RAM (although I'm fairly sure you only need just over 8GB to run this game optimally). Also load time is minimal, I usually can't even read the tip that's shown during loading. However, I am running on an SSD so that might change if your running from an HDD. Although for modern gaming, you should definitely invest in at least a small SSD. Its worth it! I spend a lot of time showing off how impressive this game is, and how its ridiculously well it plays on my LAPTOP. Very, very impressed. I've already put in many hours of play and still feel as though the story is just beginning to unfold. So the game has looks, a good feel, and is very captivating. I absolutely recommend this game and am highly considering downloading the expansion pack while its still on sale!

The story of this game is amazing, never have I been bored with what was happenning. Graphics are great and you really can get lost in the game. Recently I've been playing fallout 4 which is a good game, probably would of been my favourite game if it wasn't for this. Now I cant help but compare it to the witcher 3. The story and graphics don't come close to this. So many games are released now days which are overpriced, badly optimised or just made to make a game. A lot of effort has been put into this game, nowhere feels the same and all of the quests are new and different. My only gripe with the game is the movement. In combat Geralt is swift and majestic (until he is stumped by a small ledge or box) but out of combat he's dumb and clumsy and don't get me started on fall damage! The sheer amount of times I've died because I rolled off a cliff!!! The reason that it is the best game I've ever played is down to the story. A benifit of being based off a good book and it really shows. If only more games were like this

one of the best game i have ever played. I recommend to go and buy this game now! even if you buy it in 60 dollars its the best 60 dollar purchase you will ever have.The game runs excellent on my pc the game is beautiful and very small lode time Good job cd projekt red you made one of the best games ever

Yup, I said it : The Witcher 3 is one of the best games ever, especially amongst the AAA category. It couples the fine graphics of a high budget game, high polishing (few bugs, runs extremely well in full details, and that could be said from the day of release) and awesome design overall, with the great writing of some of the genre's legends like Planescape Torment. The characters are plentiful, deep and complex, very well written ; the side quests have received as much attention to details as any part of the main quest ; the quest flow is really good ; and the crafting, potions and character development systems are very well thought. Sure, one can criticize the ergonomy of the menus, this and that choice in terms of game design or balance, but the choices that were made are very much defendable and there's such an obvious amount of work on Sapkowski's universe, on writing it all, making each detail count, each character count, that in the end, all that remains is the unique experience of playing The Witcher 3. Oh and all of that evidently applies to that first "Heart of Stone" extension. It's going to be a high climb for other game designers to reach the new heights set by CDProjekt Red with TW3, as much in terms of writing as in terms of technical and graphical design.
