For better or worse I have spent about 256 hours of time on this game with just one file, there will be other's I assure you for as I find this game to be of the utmost enjoyment. Realistically there is possibly only 150-180 hours of game play Because of times I have left the game on pause and have taken time about real life.... to my dismay, lol. I have played many of the top titles out there in the past few months from AC Unity to DA: Inquisition to something a bit more independent like Pillars of Eternity. I will say this game is the one I have put the most time in with the least amount of time for certain. For those who have not played and are looking into buying this game and whether or not it is for you let me explain why. Story and lore, rich and detailed, definitely some great story telling and the monster and history in the game is just as always, fascinating and captivating. Side quests and treasure hunts Can take a bunch of time to complete and grab every point of interest in each map. This give the player a ton of optional( but I highly recommend in regards to better manuscripts and gear not to mention more experience to do these, because there is plenty of time to work on the main quests). As far as the combat and gameplay I have to say I believe is was very agreeable with both controller and mouse and keyboard, this being said is it perfect ? of course not there is always room for imporvement. I would say if there was thing that cause ire with this game it may be targeting system(mostly switching targets easily to the target you wish is not easy, and though this would be an annoyance to some I have found that using the block keybind and using that to circle around enemies is an easier way to go.) It is probably one of the very few negative features I have experieced and that I have read about other's dea;ing with in the game. As far as I am concerned though it s far from a deal breaker, which from the amount I have played in the past coupe weeks I am sure other's can already see that. The other thing I would point out that there has been a couple noticeable glitches and issues with the UI and gamplay, regarding some of the alchemy and runes, but many of these have been fixed as the game has been patched and fixed. The Witcher 3 crew does listen to it's fans and players, thankfully. With these minor issues and the fact that this game has offered me more choices and impact than my own life currently, lol... I beleive that between the story/lore, choice and change you can make, abilities, loot, logevity, and beauty of the game it is very very hard not say this game is one of the best i have played this year and possibly of all time as far as PC games go. I highly recommend this game if like the things I have listed and if you are on the fence I still recommend giving this a shot because chances are you could possibly love the game as well.
