Ведьмак 3: Дикая Охота - Издание Игра Года

What the title of the review says. No game before and since made me just look at the world inside in such awe. The color palette is perfect across all lands. Toussaint being so colorful and saturated perfectly resembles its climate and people as well as Skellige's cold harsh stormy nature and its warriors. And also the music... Feels like it's a part of the world and just blends with the trees and grass. That's the first part of the game that touched me. Other is the stories. Main quest line is amazing and really made me care about the events and the characters but that's just the beginning. I was disappointed after finishing the main quest that the best part of the game is past me. I was very wrong. Side quests and especially the dlcs are just pieces of art. No other game comes close. The most important thing about all of them is the authenticity. People talk to you and react to what you say like it's real life. No other game seems to give the conversation between you and npcs proper attetion so there you really notice. The progression and hunting for the best items is also something I very much enjoyed. There are many options and it's not like there's only one build that is much better than the others. And my last point: GWENT Just a game inside the game that gives you tens of hours of joy with collecting all cards and becoming the champion. Even bought the real life version of it and play with my friends from time to time. If you like rpg games buy it. If you don't like games rpg still buy it.

This game redefined many paradigms of how games are supposed to be made, and supported, ruining most of the excuses made up to this day. Now we also know how this propagated into sales of books and inspired separate show. Story in game itself is a brilliant, vast, and epic, enhanced with quality DLC story expansions. It does a great job at neat and satisfying experience after the books and first two games. Technically it leaves almost no stone unchecked. Everything is voiced, choices made are reflected not only actions, consequences, or dailogues and comments, but also in voice acting and delivery, reflecting emotional states. NPC's have characters and meaning equal to protagonist. I never experienced bugs in the game, as I was late adopter, despite having base game pretty much for free (code included with GPU card). Yes, I heard the stories, but this is long bygones, game got patched up and now is the benchmark upon which every RPG game gets compared to, and CDPR is developer that every other developer gets compared to.

I would give it 7/5 stars if possible. Even with such high rankings, this game is still underrated! This game is not immediate fun, so expect to invest some time into it. But after that, game will reward you as no other. This game puts game development itself on entirely unprecedented new level. I bought this game purely to support good development practices believing i am not the type to have fun playing it. But the more you play, the more you will like it. It punishes quitters and rewards the rest, hence some critical reviews.

Best RPG ever created !!!!!

I have been playing video games since 1999 and this game is easily the best game I ever played. I never enjoyed a game like this before. I %100ed the game from the first playthrough and for sure I will do it again. This game is by far the best RPG game on its generation. No game comes close to it at all. Pros: *Amazing story. Either main or secondary quests, both of them are so amazing. The game have high level of story writing that the DLCs alone can be better than a lot of AAA games stories. *Investing in small details. Details are well presented and it will amaze you how the details are paid attention too. For example the man from the books whom Geralt had a contract with and couldn't pay him cause he disappeared and then you meet him at Toussaint so he tells him that he put his reward at bank account savings all that time. Many other details from the books and first two games are cannon and presented in well which shows how much they put effort on the events and writing. *Diverse combat. Technically combat is considered the weakest point on the game. But its still so great that says a lot about the game on how the weakest point is still so amazing. You can play the game in many different styles, you could easily play 4 playthroughs and you can play all of them with different gear and style. Cons: *Some bugs may be annoying but most of them are fixed at 1.32 and the ones left are non game breaking at all from my experience and they can be solved be re-loading the save. *The destiny of Ciri is decided by calculating points from dialogues between Geralt and Ciri and not by serious decision making on events like "Heart of Stone" and "Blood and Wine". *No Iorveth :'( I would like also to add that to have the best experience its recommended to play Witcher 1 & 2 before playing 3 since playing 1 & 2 after 3 will make you hate 1 & 2 because of how good 3 was.
