This game has literally revolutionalized the gaming industry, effectively redefining the standard for what is considered a truly great game. I cannot even count the times Ive read the sentence "in a post-witcher 3 world" in professional articles and stories. Its a stunning revelation to think that a single game, this game, has actually had such a profound effect on the world. Every facet of Witcher 3 is absolutely superb, there is no single aspect of the game that is lacking in quality. The plot is arguably the most engrossing and epic of any video game, and it will have you on the edge of your seat through the entire 100+ hour game. There are so many human moments, so much life and realism embedded in the binary and artificial NPC characters in the game. Every struggle, every conflict, every petty occurance is sublimely believable and true to life. From main quests to obscure side quests, the themes in W3 are wide and varied. Death, grief, war, sexual exploitation, child abuse, capitalism, political agendas are just some of the complex themes that embody the quests in W3. They are all very relatable and intriguing. The gameplay is flawlessly polished, and feels great. Every sword swing, dodge roll, every animation is beautifully animated and accompanied by hollywood level sound effects. The result is a visceral and brutal feeling combat system that is very satisfying. W3 always finds new ways to make you feel like a complete bad***. There are many ways to approach combat, many abilities and skills to use, and a plethora of weapons to boot. The inventory system is easy to navigate and effective, although not everyone agrees and some argue that its one of W3's less polished aspects. This is truly the best game Ive ever played and there are millions of others who feel the same. If your reading this and somehow have not yet played this game, you MUST buy this. I pity the man who misses on the opportunity to relish in the glory of CD project Reds Witcher 3.
