You owe yourself to play this !

The Witcher 3 is by far one of the best Action RPGs ever made, with an enthralling storyline, a huge and well designed open world and many incredibly well written quests to get into. Things just got even better with the release of the two expansions, bringing even more content and interesting characters and, in the case of the "Blood and Wine" expansion, a brand new and visually enchanting region to visit. Beyond that, I can't say much that hasn't already been said through the press and player reviews : you simply HAVE to play it and, if you like it, try the first two episodes as well for the complete story. The one and only complain I could make is : WHY don't I get a free GOTY copy as I already have the game + season pass ? But maybe CDPR will address that later, who knows ?

Not an RPG

If you think this is an RPG, you are mistaken. This is an action game. Kingdom Come Deliverance on the other hand, is a proper RPG. RPG stands for role playing = means you can play a role how you like. That means, killing, stealing whoever you want. You can not do that in Witcher 3. The game also suffers from clunky and slow responsive controls and boring and silly combat: You can either just mash on a button killing every enemy around you, or you roll-jump around looking like something out of a cartoon. Impossible to get immersed in this.

Meh and a question

Never been a fan of the game. Solid 3.3 experience that had lot of work put into it - sort of BOTW with richer lore but without climbing. That said I wanted to replay it after seven years - any way to go back to "classic" version here?

Part 3: Siri, Siri, Siri

While it's true that Witcher 3 has a very colorful cast of NPCs barely any of them is actually likable. All man in this game are jerks one way or the other. The female NPCs on the other hand are far more deeply written - they have actual agendas, not defined by whoring, drinking and being an ass, as with the male characters. Combat tries to imitate Dark Souls or Batman Arkham or something but is WAY to imprecise and floaty to do much of a controlled counter/attack. You just flip around and hope you hit something. A joke but manageable with time. The map is littered with an amount of collectables that would make any recent UBISOFT game proud with only VERY interesting encounters. And then meet Roach, the dumbest horse in the universe! Roach stops for every twig on the road or for no apparent reason. Roach is so terrible to ride that I choose to run almost all of the time. The UI and inventory is terrible, incl. GWENT, which is just there to drag the game out for dozens of hours as it is required to progress the story. I had to apply a dozen Quality of Life Mods (inkl. skipping GWENT entirely) to make this acceptable, I also cheated on the money because the grind to buy things is just insane. It's hard to raise children, yes but this game is about her in every second sentance. First it's all about finding Siri, then it's always Siri this, Siri that and then you give one bad answer and get the bad ending - bam! So I stayed with the 'bad' ending because, really, Siri, get a grip. Also I hated like the game pushes me to romance Yennefer, who was absent for 2 games, while Triss was there for me all the time. Nearly a lesson in bad drama writing. Heart of Stone wants to be some nihilistic Noire-story but wasn't that remarkable in it's execution. The MAIN reason I give 4 Stars to Witcher 3 is for Blood and Wine. There was just EVERYTHING right with this: Story, charakters, quest-design!! If only the whole game had been like this.
