My favourite video game
The game has received plenty of awards and praise, which I most definitely agree with. This game pretty much redefined what to expect from an open-world game. Not only does it provide you with a gargantuan open-world, filled to the brim with interesting, fun activities, but also stories about humans (and nonhumans), where every small character here feels like an actual sentient being with their own life. The open world isn't actually continuous as one might expect, but consists of several areas. That being said, some of those areas rival full-fledged open-world games. This type of segregation of the world really allows for more freedom in storytelling and allows you to see more of what the world of The Witcher has to offer. And the game truly is beautiful,with regards to both technology and atmosphere. It also has excellent sound design with one of the best video game soundtracks ever created. And regarding the story, I'll avoid any specifics about it. But it provides a satisfying conclusion to the Witcher saga, games and books included. The switch the open world was rather positive for the storytelling, contrary to many other games which make the switch either due to lack of ideas or to fit a trend. Your actions still have consequences, and pretty big at that. The decision-making that these games always took pride in is as strong as ever, and you will make a choice, only to regret it 10 hours later. I loved the type of freedom you get in doing your quests. The freedom is not just in the open world, but in the way you can go about missions, truly immersing you in the game. I've seen many people criticizing the combat, but I'll disagree with them. It might not be perfect (parrying is very clunky IMO), but it truly captures what it's like to be a witcher. Plenty of enemy types, with the classic "silver for monsters, steel for humans" tactic. Does the game have any issues? Perhaps, but none bothered my experience in a major way. 10/10 from me. Without a doubt.
