One of the best told stories in gaming
Graphics - Amazing, one of the best looking open world games I've ever played and still holds up great, especially loved the character models and environments, really made the dialogues and cut senses feel cinematic and engaging no oblivion style gaping magickarp staring at you here, the world looks and feels alive and the visuals and characters combine with the excellent writing to really make you feel immersed. Story - The Real highlight for me this one, . Taking in huge variety of locations, characters and side quests all excellently written and stylised . When I say one of the best told stories in gaming I mean the presentation here is top notch, excellent voice acting, quality dialogue a complicated and immersive world full of subtlety even the cinematography and camera angles combines with music in cutscenes and dialogue is great. The ultimate big bag does prove a tad disappointing but with multiple endings based on past actions and choices I really enjoyed the conclusion all in all. Gameplay - I'd describe it as a refinement of the witcher 2s gameplay. Combat still involves a mix of light and heavy attacks, dodges, rolls, bombs , potions oils and witcher signs and flows a better than in the witcher 2 with a better skil tree and progression, ultimately it did end up becoming a bit repetitive though and even on highest difficulty I found most fights becoming very formulaic maybe I'm just a cheese lord but quen doge, roll and light attack were enough for 90 percent of fights then again we're taking over 200 hours of gameplay here so anything's bound to get stale. Conclusion: Easily my favourite game in the Series and a triumph of storytelling and open world game design. Sets a bar for the art of storytelling in video games I spent 15 yoyos on the GOTY edition and got 200 hours out of it and although I did tire of the gameplay by the end, was well worth the time. Recommended to all who love a well told story and immersive world.
