First witcher game I have every played and the first quests had me hooked. The story is deep and interesting, every choice you make can have serious implications on the ending (good or bad). Characters have rich backstories which makes all the quests you do that much more enjoyable as their personality comes across strongly when you are accompanied by them. This is one of the only games where I want to do all the side quests just to see all that it has to offer. Combat is as rewarding as it is punishing. The satisfaction gained when you block a strike to counter attack or dodge a huge strike from a monster is amazing. Also getting hit hard for one dodge too early or too late is great, although a little frustrating at time. Performs well, even on low end rigs, and looks fantastic. Voice acting is top quality which adds to the feeling that the world of the Witcher 3 is really 'alive'. The pre-rendered cut scenes are a little jarring at times though. CD Projekt RED doesn't shy away from adding sexual content and gore to enrich the experience, hence the 18 rating, and I believe the game is better for it. Absolutely fantastic game, so much content and all of it to the same high standard makes me want to do multiple play throughs to see how different decisions pan out for all the characters. Gwent is pretty fun too.
