The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical about Witcher 3. First one was decend, but nothing I would tell my grandchildren about. Second one was also pretty good, but I got bored suddenly in chapter 3 and never finished it. And to be honest, I've never been much of a fan of The Witcher books either. So I waited for price to drop, to make sure it's worth the risk... and now I think about refund just to buy this game again, for a full price! Yes, it's that good. Pros: + The world is beautiful, full of interesting places and acctually makes sense. No Bethesda style bullshit. + Quests are fun, and even something that looks like a basic fetch quest can surprise you. Of course, there are fetch quests and go somwhere and kill something quests - you are a Witcher after all, killing monsters is your job. But the number of memorable quests is pretty high. + Dialogues are very well written. + There is no clear good or bad. Most of your choices will make somebody suffer. Same goes with characters - when they choose to help you, you can be pretty sure they do it, because it suits their own agenda, not because they are pure of heart. Plus their motivations are understandale, if not justified. + Gwent is fun, I like it way more than dice poker. + Great performance, game runs smoothly on GTX 460. The only place I've experienced minor frame-rate issues is Novigrad. There are some bugs and glitches, but surprisingly few (version 1.31). Also, very short loading times. Cons: - Main story seems a bit weaker - but I haven't finish the game yet, so I might be wrong. - Controlling Geralt in interiors can be pain in the ass. - Combat system is better than in Witcher 2, but it's far from perfect. - Character progression is very basic and lacking depth. - Boat traveling is boring as hell. To end this overly long text - CD Project Red showed us how it looks, when you acctually *know* how to make open-world RPG. Best open-world experience since New Vegas.

I've played a lot of RPG titles, and The Witcher 3 simply stands above all of them. A huge world filled with non-repetitive and always enjoyable quests, well written characters and a lot of things to do. 60 hours for now, and not a single minute I've been bored or annoyed. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and click that Add to Cart button. Or go out and grap a physical copy, it's damn worth it.

I...just...can't...stop... SEND HELP!!!

I have played many RPG's over the time. Elder Scrolls, Legend, Divinity, Gothic...but non of them come even close to this one. It starts with the mainstory and the hundreds of little sidestories (and i mean HUNDREDS). It's well thought out, gripping, deep...like a really good book you just can't put aside aside despite it being 4 a.m. in the morning because there is this one character... It's not just that, though. The game leaves you all the options to make it into your own story. There are soo many choices, moral or not: kill that one, let that one live, be rude, be nice, kiss her, scold her, do magic or just beat 'em up. Every action has consequences and emotional investment is nearly impossible to avoid. And what I personally found most amazing (and on times uncomfortably disturbing) is, that all you see, do, hear in the game is in some way or another apliccable to real life situations and choices, making the world of witcher 3 (monsters and magic aside) so much more realistic feeling. The other amazing thing is the game itself. A huge open world, lovingly created piece by piece, meaning wandering this world doesn't feel like a rinse repeat but an actual exploration of the countless hidden (and sometimes not so hidden) crooks and nannies with unique stories, unique treasures or some crazy monster you just WANT to slaughter for the hell of it. Because the fighting system is dynamique and alive in a way rarely found in games. There are unique strategies for every monster, like bladeoils, signs and the right combination of dodging and rolling and attacking. You won't get bored fighting because even if it's Drowners...again...you will die, even on higher levels, if you just stand there and mash the buttons. In short, fighting and exploring and LEARNING the game keeps on actively engaging you to the (bitter? happy? you're choice) end.

What an amazing game. First I had this game on the ps4 but after 70 hours of gameplay and almost completing the story, my save game was lost. So I tought I'd buy it for my pc and the performance on my gtx 960 is great. Even on ''high'' I think it looks better than on the ps4. But enough about that. The story and character-development are amazing and the ficht mechanics are great, even with a mouse and keyboard. The monsters are diverse and the sounds and looks of the game are fantastic. This is absolutly the best game I have ever played.
