Ведьмак 3: Дикая Охота - Издание Игра Года

Having played most of The Witcher 3 in it's original release, i unfortunately lost my save files due to harddrive errors. I have come back this year to finally complete the title. So it has been done and a rollercoaster of emotions have been sent upon me, so much so that i can't continue onwards with the DLC content this version offers. My arrogance didn't have me thinking of the consequenses i would stand with at the end of the game. which means i had maybe the worst ending of all. it left me in a sorrowed state the game had affected me all the way through the investment in characters, cities and general tourmoil that happened. I mainly like the game for it's Narrative and very perfect story. As well as it's very nice combat along with smaller features i will mention. The game is very good but it has some issues that i like to address as well. Pros: - Perfect story. it's not set in stone you tell the tale and you decide the outcome (unknowingly) - The narrator to the game in loading screens are perfect as well as the summaries Geralt makes at the end of an act. - The fighting is smooth and isn't holding you back. - Lots of different enemies, meaning lots of different tactics and fighting styles. - The music in the game is perfect fits very well to the age it is set in also the situations that the player comes across. - The artstyle is very good i actually really love it and it is something many medieval games bore me with. Cons: - Sudden bugs. after long sessions of playing in a row it sometimes bugs the game having to restart the game or load a save file. (bugs were ussually something like not being able to go into combat or not being able to use "E" to interact) - Voice acting is okay but i will say many times it feels subpar, this is not just secondary characters, but at times Geralt as well. - The number system (Example sword damage starting sword does like 50 dmg and ending swords do 400+ dmg) don't always like that system feels like it takes too much space in the game. - Level requirements is a drag don't enjoy them. - Some RPG is left out since your character already exist and you did not make him and he has the Witcher (curse) meaning no emotions, hard to roleplay at times and can get boring) Summary The Witcher 3 is a near perfect game i enjoyed it, it left an emotional scar on me felt great most of the time it gave me much joy and it saddened me at times. 9/10 not perfect but damn near it!

I'm not going to complain about the controls, the installer, the bugs or anything like that. Besides a few minor issues, I found The Witcher 3 to be a perfectly serviceable, relatively bug free experience. The game gets three stars for its phenomenal production values. The music, voice acting, facial animations, architecture, costume design and for the most part, the writing are all hugely impressive for a game of this size. There were moments I felt like I was playing a focused, "cinematic" game like The Last of Us, which is very impressive for an open world RPG with potentially hundreds of hours of play time. I can't justify giving this game a higher score however because the core gameplay is severely lacking. The combat "works" and is quite intuitive but it's neither realistic nor fantastic. What I mean by that is that it's very weightless and unsatisfying, but at the same time it's also very simplistic and doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity. As powerful as Geralt is, he's still just a man who fights with two handed swords and has a small arsenal of not-particularly impressive spells, and yet he still dances about and auto-aims like this is a game with flashy combos and interesting combat (which is doesn't have). The identity crisis here is jarring. The open world is a terrible case of quantity over quality. It doesn't feel deliberately designed nor worth exploring for any reason other than to find more heavily scripted quests. As for the quest design, if you end up buying or replaying the game, really carefully observe just what it is that you as the player are asked to do. Yes, the quests are wonderfully contextualized with great voice acting and writing, but outside of dialogue choices, do you really have much agency? Are you playing the game or is the game playing itself for you? Do you ever have to *think*? Visually and aurally, this is a beautiful game. In terms of gameplay, it needs to be more heavily critiqued.

It is 2019, and I can still come back and replay the game. Story and gameplay are both great, cdpr really outdid themselfs with this one.

When i was installed the game it was saying, "Support the software developers, if you like this game, buy it". So here's my support to CD Projekt Red! Thank You!

I don't think there will be any other game that can beat Witcher 3 in the nearest future. Even Cyberpunk. I don't think it'll surpass the depth of Witcher's characters, its gripping story, and an unimaginable level of quality and ruthless attention to the detail that even the smallest things in this game are done with. If there were Oscars in the videogame industry, I think Witcher 3 is entitled to take it in every category imagined.
