This isn’t just open world RPG — it’s a tapestry of tragedy, dark humor, and the kind of storytelling that haunts you long after you’ve put down the controller.

The game might not hook you right away but trust me that’s just the beginning. Stick with it and trust the process and you will uncover and experience one of the best games out there and always remember "old is gold".

I played this game, fully, 10 years ago. I was still in college - before its release, I replayed the previous two games and read through a bunch of Sapkowski's books in preparation for this final chapter. I was blown away by it - it felt very much like the best RPG I had ever played. I can say that not a lot has changed this last decade for me regarding this game. So, 10 years and another full playthrough later? I am still blown away by it, in every single aspect. Visually, I can't believe this game is a decade old - wow! And it runs so well on the Deck! This is what an excellent art direction gets you! The world, its characters, the places you visit feel alive, deliberate, handmade; the scandinavian influence in its soundtrack makes its sounds unique, and the narrative is stellar - and I'm not only talking about the main story, but all of its side content is drawing you deeper into this intricate, grey universe where your choices, even smaller ones, [b]will[/b] affect the world around you. But all of this doesn't come as a surprise to you - it's what most people think about when they discuss The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Does it make a difference what I have to say about it? I don't think so, but I wanted to pay my respects a bit more since this game has influenced me in so many ways and for so long now, so let me make a note of something I think this game does very well and that I don't see people talking about: lore entries. I have a problem with lore entries in games, most of the time. You'll find them in games that are famous for their focus on storytelling like the old games from Bioware. The issue I have with lore entries is that they're usually heavy on text and light on effect to whatever it is you are doing as a player. Don't get me wrong, I love to know more about the fantastic worlds I'm exploring [i]but[/i] I would much rather live and learn that sit through a lot of text without [i]con[/i]text. The Witcher 3 does this, in my opinion, in a very fine balance - it does not overexpose you to what happened before, but instead makes enough references as you go about doing several tasks, so you organically become more aware of why things are as they are. The entries it gives you are a supplement to what you find out, very concise and a lot of the times useful, especially with the different types of monsters, which is invaluable for you to better understand how to deal with them, just like a witcher. Anyway, this is just another positive review in the wall of positive reviews of one of the best games of all time and I just wanted to gush a bit. I cannot praise it enough. My heartfelt thank you to everyone at CDPR for an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime - as I finish it, I ache in saying goodbye to this game and characters yet again. I will be sure to return to it, for my sake. [b]Masterful![/b]

Not gonna lie, I jumped in just to see what the hype was about… and boom—hooked. The story’s got mad twists, and you actually get to pick how stuff plays out. The world? Huge. Like, get lost doing side stuff for hours kinda huge. Even the side quests hit hard. Didn’t think I’d vibe this much, but here I am, deep in the zone. 100% worth it no cap

This isn't just a game. It’s an experience. From the very first moment you step into the war-torn world of the Northern Kingdoms as Geralt of Rivia, you're met with stunning landscapes, rich lore, and some of the best writing in RPG history. Every choice matters, every quest has weight, and the characters—oh man, the characters—feel more alive than in most movies. ✔️ Masterful storytelling ✔️ Incredible side quests (some are better than entire games) ✔️ Soundtrack that hits right in the feels ✔️ Combat that’s satisfying once you get the hang of it ✔️ DLCs that put most AAA base games to shame (Blood and Wine is a masterpiece) If you’re into immersive worlds, deep narratives, and morally grey choices that haunt you (in the best way)—this is your game. CD Projekt Red didn’t just raise the bar with Witcher 3—they redefined it. 11/10. Would toss a coin to my Witcher again.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - A Masterpiece of Storytelling and Exploration Overview The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an expansive, open-world RPG developed by CD Projekt Red, based on the book series by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Players can customize Geralt’s abilities and gear, allowing for various playstyles. Side Quests and Gwent: The side quests are not just filler; many are as engaging as the main story, often featuring their own unique narratives and characters. Additionally, the card game Gwent adds a fun mini-game element that many players enjoy.

Whether you’re a fan of RPGs or new to the genre, this title is a must-play. Its legacy continues to influence the gaming landscape, setting a standard for narrative-driven games.

Wow. This game is truly astounding. I went into playing this game not really knowing what to expect, although I had heard good things about it. I have never played any of the first two Witcher games either. I have to admit, it was a weird transition from Bloodborne to the Witcher 3 because of the significant difference in pacing. However, they're two completely different games and the Witcher certainly proved itself to me. From the amazing sceneries to the engaging story, this game is definitely praiseworthy. However, the most compelling part of the story for me was definitely the characters. The character development in this game is amazing, and I truly began to feel a sense of comfort and love for nearly all of the characters. I loved the characters and lore of this game so much, in fact, that I actually played through the game multiple times, covering the main story and various side quests. It is very easy to put in over 150 hours into this game, as I have put in at least 500. Furthermore, I bought all of the books that the game series was based on and I am currently reading them with delight. If buying the entire book series simply because the game was incredible doesn't convince you that this is definitely a worthy buy, then I don't know what will. This game does not fail to impress and I can't wait for the upcoming DLCs. Hopefully you give it a shot, because it is definitely worth your time and money. Congrats to CD Projekt Red for creating such a magnificent experience with the Witcher 3.
