The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open-world role-playing game that offers the player a unique and immersive experience. The game is based on Andrzej Sapkowski's literary saga and follows the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter who becomes embroiled in a war between kingdoms and a prophecy about the end of the world. The game is notable for its complex and branching storyline, where every decision the player makes has consequences for the development and outcome of the plot. In addition, the game boasts impressive graphics, which recreate the landscapes and characters of The Witcher universe in great detail, and a masterful soundtrack, which accompanies the player on their travels and in combat. However, the game is not without its technical problems, especially since the release of the "Next-Gen Update" a year ago. This update was intended to improve the game's performance and graphical quality, adding features such as ray tracing and DX12 mode, but it actually worsened the game's stability and gameplay. Many users have reported that the game freezes and closes suddenly, that there are graphical and sound errors, and that the game does not work properly with most modern graphics cards. It seems that CD Projeckt Red, the developer of the game, has not put enough effort and attention into fixing these bugs, and that every patch they release to fix them only makes them worse. It's a shame to see such a good game ruined by technical mismanagement. So, if you want to enjoy the game without so many problems, I recommend you to play the 1.32 version of the game, which is the most stable and fluid, or use the DX11 mode of the current version, which although it is not perfect, at least it will allow you to play without so many setbacks.

The game represents a significant leap in terms of graphical quality and mechanics compared to its predecessor. While it is an impressive title in many aspects, I personally find it falls short compared to its predecessor due to some challenges it presents. One of the first noticeable differences is the difficulty of the game. Right from the start, players face a steep learning curve. The scarcity of indicators on the mini-map, vague mission descriptions, and labyrinthine chapter maps can disorient players, resulting in a frustrating experience, affecting immersion and enjoyment. The level of difficulty is further emphasized by the need to pay attention to every detail. The in-game glossary becomes an essential tool to understand the world and missions. While this adds depth to the experience, those unwilling to fully immerse themselves in the game's lore may feel lost, leading them to turn to online videos or guides to progress in the story. The plot itself has a relatively short/medium duration and primarily focuses on political intrigues and king's conspiracies. While this may be appealing to some players, others may not find it as thrilling. The lack of a more varied narrative could have been improved to provide a more exciting and diverse experience. However, it provides a detailed context for understanding the story and world of the subsequent game in the next game. The events and characters presented in this game set the stage for the epic journey that will follow, which can be a compelling incentive for fans of the franchise. In summary, while this game offers a visually impressive experience and adds depth to the overall franchise's story, its high difficulty and focus on politics may not appeal to all players. Despite this, those seeking a better understanding of the series' overall narrative and who are willing to face strategic challenges will find an entertaining experience.
This game provides the background story of Geralt and serving as an entry point to the beloved franchise. Despite its age, the game's graphics possess a unique charm, and its immersive atmosphere, complemented by exceptional music, sound effects, and intricate details, transports you into a captivating world. One of the game's strengths lies in its extensive gameplay and how the development of the story can vary depending on the decisions you make, offering over 50 hours of content through an array of side quests, contracts, and additional stories. The meticulously designed interface adds to the experience, showcasing detailed aesthetics that stand out amidst the minimalist trends of modern games. This game has some camera modes, whether it be the isometric view, which allows seamless map navigation, or the third-person perspective with traditional controls. These camera modes enhances the gameplay experience, accommodating different play styles. But not all is perfect... The controls, including the combat mechanics, can be uncomfortable, lacking the desired level of action. However, the variety introduced by Geralt's abilities mitigates the monotony to some extent. Another drawback is the occasional instability of the game, with unexpected crashes occurring despite efforts to mitigate the issue. The translations of the game are not perfect, at least in Spanish. In conclusion: This game provides an immersive and nostalgic experience, serving as the foundation of the beloved franchise. Its charming graphics, setting and extensive gameplay offer hours of fun. Despite minor flaws, such as clunky controls, occasional glitches and imperfect localisation, the game remains a must-have for fans of the series and those looking for a deep and engaging RPG experience where decision making influences how the story will unfold.
