I really wanted to like this.

I enjoyed the first Witcher game, but could not get into the second one. Given all of the great reviews for Witcher 3, I thought I'd give it a shot. After 5 hours of gameplay, it completely failed to maintain my interest. The pacing is off, and nothing especially interesting happens for the first several hours. The game is pretty, but the exploration felt generic. You went to one village, then into the countryside, killed a couple of drowners, ran from a alghoul or pack of bandits, then wash, rinse, and repeat. The UI and controls are serviceable but a bit too layered and busy for my taste. Ten years ago, I would have stuck with such a game to see if things improved. However, now with so many games available and a backlog of games that I still need to play, I don't really have time to sink 4-5 hours into a game and still wonder whether it's worth the effort. Anyhow, I still have fond memories of the first game, and I guess that will have to be enough.

A profoundly unsatisfying experience

It feels odd writing a negative review for a game into which clearly a huge amount of effort was put, and which has received so much praise. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is as good as I’ve ever heard, and the size of the world and the level of detail in it are daunting. But I feel that the game has some very serious issues. I will focus on my main complaints about the story, although the gameplay has problems of its own and often feels like a chore. Your choices in this game have consequences (which is good), except that they are completely arbitrary. Without prior warning, doing the “right” thing will sometimes kill hundreds of innocents. What’s worse, some quests have no purely-positive outcomes. For example (minor spoiler): Would you prefer some children to be killed and eaten, or for an entire village to be massacred? I’m not sure what lesson the writers were trying to teach here, but what I learned, once I realized that every small victory would somehow turn into a defeat, was not to bother caring about how the story develops. This arbitrariness culminates when the ending you get depends on prior choices in a way that I can describe only as “stupid”. If you play this game, I strongly recommend reading up on the story in advance, to find out which dialogue options matter, otherwise you might find yourself wondering: “THAT’s what it all came down to?!” But there’s an even bigger problem with the ending. Ciri’s story consists mainly of running from the Wild Hunt, while everyone else is trying to protect her. Once the main plot is resolved, she does something which, during my tens of hours of playing, was never even mentioned as being a possibility, with huge consequences for the entire world. Hold on -- a trilogy ending with a new, unforeseeable plot element being introduced in the final minutes? Does this remind you of anything? … At least for Mass Effect 3 there was an outcry. I don't understand why this game gets a pass...

Best game I have ever played.

I was a bit sceptical at first, but at the moment this is the best game I have ever played. CD Project created something incredible in the world of Sapkowski. This game is a masterpiece for RPG/fantasy fans.

Can't get in to it

I've really wanted to like this game, tried it multiple times but... I just can't get in to it. There's simply too much cutscenes for my taste. Each conversation is practically a cutscene. It's all very drawn out, tedious and I can't immerse in to actually playing the game. On the other hand, I can't skip the convos because I will miss out on the story. I appreciate the attempt to make a cinematic experience out of the game, but it's just not for me. One of things I love at big, open world rpgs is the ability to ignore the main story line and do side quests and just wonder around. I can't do that here. The aforementioned cinematic-like conversations make me feel like not wanting to talk to npcs and pick up side quests and the main plot feels too imposed. 2/5 from me. This game does not fit my taste.
