The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Nice Game

Visuals / Sound aside the attention to detail is astounding, while Skyrim remains the king of "Loot everything in sight" type of open world games I would argue Witcher 3 is the new king in regards to the game world feeling alive. My only complaint thus far is that a lot of the NPCs feel like filler content (As in they serve no purpose), I wish they had stuck to their roots from Witcher 2 where every NPC had something meaningful to say. I removed a STAR because according to the developers everyone should be using WASD as their movement keys, as there is no OPTION to rebind those keys. I had to use my keyboards software to change the controls to how I like them to be.... I shouldn't have to go through that to play comfortably. Some people may not even have the software or knowledge to be able to change the controls outside the game so to me that is a BIG negative mark for a game that is otherwise flawless in many ways. On a side note with an OC MSI GTX 980 I was maintaining above 30 FPS on ULTRA but rarely did it pass 60 FPS. I'm playing on HIGH and getting 60+ FPS but do notice huge spikes in FPS change, I was somewhat hoping for better performance in that sense, FPS shouldn't frop from 70 - 80 all the way down to 40 - 50 for a cutscene.

My first impressions are positive. I hear quite a lot about downgrading but in the end i think the game looks better than any other game released ever. Just my 2 cents. Also on the technical side although its quite hot where i live the game is very well optimized. It uses the CPU and video card properly unlike other games from other publishers and my computer keeps cool. Overall i was shocked at how smooth the game runs on my rig considering the fact my video card is just above minimum spec. The game play is good, i find the controls precise and the difficulty just right on Blood and broken bones. Its too early to give a definitive verdict but as it stands now it is better than any other RPG i have ever played. So for now its 10/10

After incredible Withcer 1 and Withcer 2, CDPR brings us the new king of RPG genre. This game has everything you can wish for in RPG game - immersive story, beautiful visuals, great characters, incredible atmosphere, amazing combat, large open world, interesting level system and many more! Even optimalisation is top notch - runs great on my low budget GTX 960 with 1080p, almost everything on high with AA. Sometimes a framedrop can appear, but what should I expect from 2GB GPU? Thank you CD Projekt Red! It's really great to see that our neighbours made maybe my favourite game of all time. Kind regards from Slovakia:)

I'm not going to go into an in-depth review of the game seeing as how I'm only a short way in and there will be thousands of folks that will do that better than myself. I will say that this is how a modern RPG should be released, **ahem...EA/Bioware please take notice**. The performance and stability of the game has been rock solid so far. Even on medium settings with my mid-range rig, it is beyond beautifully done. The level of detail in every aspect of the game is nothing short of astounding. I mean, even the smallest of things. Just stand next to a grassy field with a grove of trees in it and watch. Even the programming that controls the freaking wind is well thought out and seriously impressive. Even from the short time that I've played, the story has drawn me in and I'm comfortable with the control mechanics. This IS the RPG I've been waiting for since Skyrim (which I never finished because the story was seriously lackluster). If you have even the smallest interest in modern RPGs then you really should buy and play this game. I don't see how anyone could be disappointed.
