Imagine the perfect RPG, where there's this huge open world, with details at every corner, that has a strong narrative and high-quality side-quests. CDProjekt did the same, but they've actually made it happen. This is the first open-world that I actually enjoyed, the first that I found to be full of life. In this regard, it's like a skyrim that doesn't need mods. The landscapes are beautiful and they will hypnotize you into exploring them and you won't feel used, cheated, because there is something in every corner, whether it's a chest, monster, or a sidequest that despite the fact that it affects a small group of people, feels grand due to the high quality of the cinematics it involves. Their narative is surprisingly well written; you'll end up loving the world of the witcher. There are five and varied regions. There's White Orchards, where you start, a place where you can see how war changes people and ultimately, the place. Velen is a nice place to spend your summer and to visit ruins, villages, cursed towers. Novigrad is an elegant city, that fits into fantasy yet it looks stunning in modern days. Mages are hunted, there's a spymaster and some political game changers, there are brothels, high class and low, a cabaret and many other attracions. Skellige is one of the most beautiful places I've seen in a video game. So beautiful, that I'd give all I have to live there. It is a cold, colorful where it counts, with people that have their different customs, where things simply look more interesting to explore, due to the monsters that inhabit the place and the nordlings looking for glory. It's the place where the most of the strange things happen. Last, but not least, there's Kaer Morhen, the school of the wolf, where there is surprisingly a lot more stuff to do than you'd expect. In all those places, there are tons of things to do, all masterfully crafted. There isn't a thing that will bore you. When people tell how great the game is, none exagerate.
