GOTY contender
The Witcher 3 brings the final chapter in Geralts saga; as well as 2015's first true GOTY contender. The game improves on the first two in every way and offers a ton of content. Every sidequest feels significant and eschews the tired kill and fetch quests that have been present in most other modern RPGs. Each sidequest introduces new characters and springboards into its own unique little sidestory with cutscenes and excellent fully voiced dialogue. The combat is superb and even allows for horse mounted combat complete with exquisite finishers. And as you are killing drowners and helping people; you will make choices that will have both short and long term effects on the outcome of the story. With all the choices you can make, and multiple endings; the game offers a ton of replay value. Its also important to note the game has an awesome loot system that also has a crafting component with variations for different armor sets. The game is not without its flaws however. Some animations can feel a bit stiff. Especially when you are trying to call or ride Roach. Sometimes looting certain objects can be a bit fiddly too. And there is an occassional glitch here or there though I have yet to notice any myself. The game has already received a number of patches and CD Projekt Red are continuing to support the game with FREE DLC. That is something we don't see enough of in today's gaming industry; where so many publishers monetize their games through microtransactions. But then again how many other publishers/developers put a insert in their game thanking you for buying their game. Not to mention give you a full soundtrack CD.
