To start off with, Witcher 3 is a great step over the previous game with everything except movement on mouse and keyboard(Game is designed for controller/gamepad in mind) In this game you can easily get distracted and lost in the numerous side quests and monster contracts along with treasure hunts, quests in this game put others to shame. You can easily get 80 hours of gameplay out of it even if you skip some of the real petty secondary guests. Combat is really dependant on what difficulty you choose, at the lowest difficulty you basically spam attacks and sometimes use signs/spells, OR you can max it out and have to strategies your movement, attacks, and signs to beat a single opponent. There's a great deal of a open world to traverse and explore, some sections are small while others are vast fields, valleys, mountain ranges, and battlefields with scattered corpses. And with any Witcher game, you get to have "Fun" time with various Witches and ladies of the night, plus a few extras in the base game and DLC. Now the DLC is great, the 16 free pack is very well worth it, some being redone Witch outfits while others completely redo entire quests with a new ending and outcome. While some bugs and other things are still being ironed out, it's still a great buy if you love the Witcher games or just want a new RPG experience. You may get lost if you haven't played the previous games(I didn't play the first) You can also purchase the novels and understand some of the lore even better(There's not many, and not as extensive as like Dragon Age or Warhammer 40k with its staggering 40+ novel series) Buying this game is very well worth it.
