DISCOVER THE STORY BEFORE THE WITCHER IV
About the Game
One of the most acclaimed RPGs of all time. Now ready for a new generation.
You are Geralt of Rivia, mercenary monster slayer. Before you stands a war-torn, monster-infested continent you can explore at will. Your current contract? Tracking down Ciri — the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world.
Updated to the latest version, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt comes with new features and items, including a built-in Photo Mode, swords, armor, and alternate outfits inspired by The Witcher Netflix series — and more!
Behold the dark fantasy world of the Continent like never before! This edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been enhanced with numerous visual and technical improvements, including vastly improved level of detail, a range of community created and newly developed mods for the game, real-time ray tracing, and more — all implemented with the power of modern PCs in mind.
Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength, and reflexes, witchers are a counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live.
• Gruesomely destroy foes as a professional monster hunter armed with a range of upgradeable weapons, mutating potions, and combat magic.
• Hunt down a wide variety of exotic monsters, from savage beasts prowling mountain passes to cunning supernatural predators lurking in the shadowy back alleys of densely populated cities.
• Invest your rewards to upgrade your weaponry and buy custom armor, or spend them on horse races, card games, fist fighting, and other pleasures life brings.
Built for endless adventure, the massive open world of The Witcher sets new standards in terms of size, depth, and complexity.
• Traverse a fantastical open world: explore forgotten ruins, caves, and shipwrecks, trade with merchants and dwarven smiths in cities, and hunt across the open plains, mountains, and seas.
• Deal with treasonous generals, devious witches, and corrupt royalty to provide dark and dangerous services.
• Make choices that go beyond good & evil, and face their far-reaching consequences.
Take on the most important contract of your life: to track down the child of prophecy, the key to saving or destroying this world.
• In times of war, chase down the child of prophecy, a living weapon foretold by ancient elven legends.
• Struggle against ferocious rulers, spirits of the wilds, and even a threat from beyond the veil – all hell-bent on controlling this world.
• Define your destiny in a world that may not be worth saving.

There is not much more to be said about this game that has not already been said. But yea its amazing even years after its launch it still captivates you with its quests, and provides all the action you could ask from a RPG. This game is simply a must play for all RPG lovers, and even those on the fence.
30 hours in and i feel like i haven't even touched what this game has to offer, music is incredible and never lets off, i love it. Cant believe it took me this long to play this game, its incredible, hyped for The Witcher 4!!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a great story, especially the part about Geralt trying to find his sworn daughter, Ciri. The characters are well-designed and memorable, and the dialogue feels a bit hard to understand and also funny at the same time. I definitely liked the multiple dialogue choice and having different outcome based on the dialogue u choose. Visually, the game is stunning, the graphics are great considering it as a very old game.
Every game i play i am always addicted to its ost or music [ whatever you wish to say ]. This game definitely has some too good soundtrack. My fav one is " Merchants Of Novigrad ". This one is soo good when it randomly starts playing when u roam around the city Novigrad. There is also one music i dont know the name but it starts playing when we play GWENT in DLC Blood and Wine. As we say GWENT i can say it is the most intresting cards game ive ever played in any in-game activity. It is hard at first but once you get the cards then it will be interesting.
Although the combat style didn’t fully match my taste, I still found the game very enjoyable and engaging overall. Even if u dont like combat style or any other things related to game , the story will make you play this more and more. The DLC heart of stone is also very good, i liked the story of that dlc though the story felt like a side quest or just a quest , still it was great for me. Still playing the second dlc.
It’s clear why The Witcher 3 is considered one of the best games in its genre.
Problems i faced:
I did face a lot of fps drop particulary in this game irrespective of the graphics quality. I can play GOT , Cyberpunk and other games with stable fps on medium preset or high and rarely faced fps drops but in Witcher 3 im still facing the issue and i dont like it all.
Horse riding experince is very bad atlest for me...my horse get stucks or mostly stops even when the is no obstacles and the horse often come in between fights with bandits or some random monsters i fight on streets, may be cause of fear level.
I will give this game 10/10 .
Good storyline & like the combat system.
Very easy to get sucked into doing side-quests all the time but they also have good story behind them so doesn't feel like you wasted your time or so as I've felt with games.
only recently played this, perfect timing before witcher 4 comes out, and i loved it so much, it's what i've been wanting from fantasy gameplay for so long and i love all the characters
Incredible storyline, beautiful girls, nice views, memorable characters. All that I love. Defenetly recommend.
A generational masterpiece and arguably the best video game of the 2010s, it stands as a truly remarkable achievement in nearly every aspect that defines an RPG. Read on for my in-depth breakdown of what I love about the game, what I don’t, and everything in between.
(Note: This review is based on my playthrough from December/January 2024/25, with the next-gen update (patch 4.04) and both expansions installed.)
Pros
- The Witcher 3 features impeccable world-building and immersion. Many open-world games rely on generic, soulless content to fill their game worlds, but not TW3. From visual elements and countless documents you’ll stumble upon to every little quest you complete, everything contributes to this rich and colorful universe.
- Even 10 years after its release, TW3 is still an astonishingly beautiful game. The natural environments are breathtaking—from the swampy, foggy marshlands of Velen to the green forests and picturesque hills further north, the rocky, windswept isles of Skellige, and all the way to the awe-inspiring, Alps-like mountains surrounding Kaer Morhen. The same goes for major cities and locations, which are packed with details and diversity.
- The dialogues and characters in this game are written to near perfection. You’ll encounter dozens, if not hundreds, of memorable individuals, each with unique, multilayered personalities and agendas. You’ll love them, hate them, and, more often than not, feel sorry for them. Simply brilliant writing.
- The visual design of the characters in this game—both monsters and NPCs—is absolutely flawless, especially for a game of its age. I love all the gritty details and the unglamorous appearance of many NPCs, which makes the world feel more grounded and authentic. Even important characters are designed with noticeable "flaws," adding to the game’s immersive, gritty atmosphere.
- Side quests offer a wide variety of unique stories, ranging from intriguing mysteries to moments of comic relief and everything in between. The quality of quest design is exceptionally high, with almost every quest enriching your overall experience through interesting characters, new locations, and immersive world-building lore.
- The voice acting is phenomenal, truly bringing every character to life. Quite literally, everyone delivered a fantastic performance, and the casting couldn’t have been more perfect for nearly every role. From powerful emotional expressions to impeccable comedic timing, everything was executed to perfection.
- The soundtrack is otherworldly, perfectly blending Slavic folklore sounds and vocals with epic fantasy elements, resulting in unforgettable masterpieces you’ll find yourself listening to on YouTube years after completing the game.
- I love that the game features a glossary system where you can access all the books and documents you’ve previously read, along with entries on important characters and a special section detailing the monsters and bosses you’ve defeated. It provides both immersion through rich lore details and gameplay support with advice on how to overcome these foes.
- I know the game’s combat is a somewhat controversial aspect, but for me, while relatively simple and basic, it’s still fun and engaging—and at the end of the day, that’s what matters most. If you enjoy straightforward systems, you’ll likely find the combat satisfying.
Cons:
(Note: Keep in mind that this is a game developed in the early 2010s and released in the first half of 2015, so some of the issues I mention might not seem as significant for a game that began development nearly 15 years ago.)
- Even after countless patches, the game still has its fair share of bugs, ranging from minor annoyances to a notable number of quest-related and game-breaking issues.
- Geralt’s movement often feels sluggish, jerky, and unresponsive. I understand the intention behind adding feedback to his movement, but for me, it doesn’t quite feel right and can sometimes be rather frustrating.
- Interacting with the environment (using the E button) is unfathomably frustrating. It drives me mad trying to find the right angle for the interaction prompt to appear, and often, it feels borderline impossible. This becomes especially aggravating in tight situations where you have only a small window of opportunity to interact with something.
- You can’t jump during combat, which often leads to situations where you get stuck, can’t reach your target, or can’t move past even the smallest elevation. In general, when the game switches to combat mode, the previously mentioned issues—sluggish movement and interaction problems—become even more noticeable and exaggerated.
- Placing all those treasures in the waters around the Skellige Isles is the only poor world design choice in the game. It adds no real value or quality experience beyond providing extra resources and feels like lazy filler content added when the developers have run out of time or ideas. Unless you’re strapped for cash, don’t waste your time chasing all those question-mark treasures scattered across the ocean.
- Combat against flying creatures is not fun and can be rather annoying. Especially when fighting against a flock of flying monsters.
Things I would love to see improved in TW4:
- I hope they improve the progression system in The Witcher 4. I like the general idea in TW3 of selecting which passives and abilities to activate by assigning them to a limited number of slots. Ideally, this should have encouraged me to experiment with different builds, but instead, I found myself barely spending points in the second half of the game, and only occasionally switching out a few slots.
- I hope there will be a system to better organize books and documents, which may be added to relevant quests and characters, make it easier to search through them, add locations where were they found, etc. It’s great to have them there, but some order and structure is needed.
- I hope The Witcher 4 offers a greater incentive to use non-Witcher gear. Despite the variety of other weapons and armor sets, I found myself exclusively switching between different Witcher sets and investing my resources only in upgrading them.
- I hope that there will be a bigger incentive in TW4 to use the non-witcher gear. Despite there being many other weapons and armor sets, I was only switching between different Witcher sets and spending my resources on upgrading them.
I never replayed The Witcher 3 after my first playthrough on GOG in 2015, where it was quickly cemented in my mind as among one of the greatest games ever made. The final DLC finishes off the story so beautifully, so completely, that despite absolutely loving the game it always just felt... wrong, to take our boy Geralt out of retirement for another go-round.
But now the wind's howling once again, and with the scent of the next instalment looming on the air, I knew it was time to dust off steel and silver and refresh myself on this landmark favourite.
Well, having just concluded the base game again around 10 years after that first playthrough, I can safely say this remains the case: The Witcher 3 is one-in-a-million, breathtaking in the scope of the incredible RPG experience on offer and astounding in the total consistency of its quality throughout.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? The music, the gameplay, the dialogue, the choice and consequence, the atmosphere, the exploration and worldbuilding... the quests that twist and turn, rarely predictable, always worthwhile... everything combines here to create such a compelling world to inhabit. Few games move so deftly between solving the day-to-day problems of the lowly folk to grand-scale, world-saving, empire-making-and-unmaking stakes.
At launch I felt it had set a new benchmark for grand-scale RPGs, and looking back over the years since, there have still been scarce few contenders to that crown. I can't wait for the next one. In the meantime... I'm heading to Toussaint!
Finally played through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2024. I figured I might as well leave a review for it now, though I would assume that most people are quite familiar with the game already.
I bought The Witcher III in 2021, though I only played it for around 8 hours back then, because I just couldn't really get into it right away. A few years later, decided to give it another go and here we are; +140 hours in, having completed the story and side quests for the main game as well as the two DLCs, and I could definitely see myself playing the game even more later. I've also seen other people mention that they wanted to like the game, but that they just couldn't get into it, so perhaps this will convince you to give it another go too. It is still an amazing game even in 2025, and it is most certainly worth it if you can get into it. Great story, great gameplay, great RPG, and the graphics still hold up nicely after all these years. It's just a great experience all around.
One of the best RPG game that i played especially the stories, the freedom we can choose as Geralt and how we want him to be, how we treat Ciri's story and many more stories and quest we can do. But i hope the combat and horse riding are better, cause it so damn hard controlling Roach.
9/10
Absolutely love this game. So much to discover. Great music, great story, great side-quests.
I know I'm a bit late, game has already been out for years.
But that doesn't matter. Even though it's already a couple of years old it was still worth to buy it now.
A beautifully presented and well-acted RPG, which just didn’t grab my heart.
Looking at my notes, you would think I adored The Witcher 3. The quest writing challenged my expectations at every turn, pulling unexpected twists while making logical sense. Every side-story is filled with ‘ah-ha’ moments, leading you down a path before flipping the script entirely. These tales are brought to live with superb voice-acting, with villagers carrying the gruff of a hard-lived life in their words. Characters move around in conversation - a minor touch, yet a laborious one which is seldom seen in full-size RPGS.
The visuals are fantastic too; foliage is dense with considerable draw distance, and each blade of grass casts an individual shadow which sways in the wind. Character models are sharp, and modern lighting methods such as raytracing are included in the next-gen update. I love the colour grading, which adjusts in accordance to the weather and sells the mood of the world.
Yet, I didn’t fall in love with The Witcher 3. The beautiful world is busy with optional content, but it’s just that: busy work. Killing wraiths and destroying monster dens might make for great podcast listening, but the lack of progression associated with these side tasks means the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze. Levelling is slow, which is tolerable, but rarely does it carry worthwhile new abilities. Upgrading your fire spell, Igni, for example, lets you spew a few more flames but that’s really it. The way you interact with your magic doesn’t change or offer any creative use.
And really, I didn’t feel The Witcher 3 encouraged any creativity at all. You’re roleplaying strictly as Geralt, and I would be hardpushed to say there are even ‘builds’. Conversations are mostly linear with few choices on offer, and (in effect) your charisma spell is rarely utilised. Movement feels stiff, and swimming feels like a constant fight against the controls. The game is also filled with glitches. Geralt shrunk down to 4’2 for a large portion of the game; quest characters refused to talk unless I restarted the game; textures would flicker; the game would freeze during loading, and it regularly switched to first-person.
I didn’t feel I could express much creativity within the game, and so it failed to resonate with me. The Witcher 3 is an improvement on its predecessor in nearly every way, and the story is genuinely well-written and even better acted, but I think I have to conclude that the series just isn’t for me.
very good game, solid story and everything you choose have an impact to the world and your story progression.
the lore is pretty much lit. the exploration is fun.
mind for suggestion, play it in death march and use a no level mod. it kinda force you to utilize all the oil, potion and beastiary , so you could roleplay as the witcher more deeply and immerse to the world.
its not mandatory tho the game is great whatever difficulty you play on.
but its just the tip of the game. the one is actually important is..
Winds Howling
January - I was ready to unalive myself. I just bought this game bc it was on sale. At first, it was just a distraction. But then, I got hooked. The world, the story, the characters... I didn’t expect to care so much. Then it became a reason. I told myself "I can't leave yet. I have to see what happens next."
Now it's February. I'm still here. Still playing. And for the first time in a while, I’m glad I stayed because I can’t stop playing this damn game.
10/10, life-changing experience. Would recommend.
If you haven’t played The Witcher 3 yet, do yourself a favor and try it. It’s not just a game. It’s an escape, a journey, a reason to keep going and I guess, sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
best game literally ever, the story telling of the base game is so beautiful. hard to believe i cried because of a video game. i wouldnt consider myself a gamer but this is the only game that i played till the ending. cant wait to play the remaining two dlc!
Massively overrated. The controls and the camera movements are clunky. Roach is the worst, worst horse riding experience i had in a video game. Boring NPC's. Loud music was irritating. Even though music can be turned down they should have given an option to turn off music during cut scenes and dialogues. On first try i played for 2 and half hours and quit, gave it a second chance and played for another 5 hours and remembered why i quit the first time. I don't understand why the game gets so much hype and praise. NOT FOR ME.
The Witcher 3 is a game that not only defines the RPG genre but also transports us to one of the richest and most believable worlds ever created in video games. Based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, CD Projekt RED managed to capture the essence of the Witcher universe — dark, full of moral dilemmas, yet deeply human.
The first thing that stands out is the scale of the game. The world of The Witcher 3 is vast, with open spaces full of details. In every location, you can feel that you're not alone — from small villages to large cities, every corner is alive. It's not just the main storyline that is interesting, but the side quests can be just as surprising. The tasks are not limited to simple “kill the monster” missions — each quest is full of unexpected twists, emotions, and choices that often change our perspective on the entire world. What really sets the game apart is its ability to tell smaller stories that are as engaging as the main plot.
One of the greatest strengths of The Witcher 3 are the characters. Geralt of Rivia is a protagonist who is not just a vengeful monster hunter but a flesh-and-blood character full of contradictions and dilemmas. The relationships he builds with others, like Yennefer or Triss, are full of depth and emotion, and every decision we make affects the course of the story. The game isn’t afraid of tough topics, and the choices we make don’t always have a clear right or wrong answer. This makes every action carry consequences and adds immense narrative power to the overall story.
It's impossible to overlook the visual aspect as well. The Witcher world is beautifully recreated, and the details of landscapes, cities, and characters leave a lasting impression. As you travel through the lands, you truly feel part of the story, and the music perfectly complements the experience, from subtle melodies to intense tracks during combat, which really enhance the emotions.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a game that has it all — a well-written story, emotional quests, a living world, and characters that experience true stories. It's one of those titles that stays in your memory for a long time, and every moment spent in this world is pure pleasure. If you haven't played it yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
Treat this a choose your own dark fantasy adventure game and you'll have a blast.
The combat is a little janky and just overall ok, play at deathmarch difficulty to make it slightly more interesting.
Where the game truly shines is the beautiful world and the amazingly written quests.
An excellent price for an excellent game! And, to top it off, at nearly a decade old, it still stomps on current-day titles!
Perfect 10/10 game, reminds me of Lee and Clementine from The walking dead game, complete story telling about how to be a good father
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a masterpiece. The world is breathtaking, the side quests are captivating, Geralt is a fantastic protagonist, and the story is epic. Gwent? Addictive doesn't even begin to cover it.
However, my personal experience was slightly tempered by my feeling that the combat system, while effective, lacked the build variety and weapon variation I craved. This is entirely a matter of personal preference; many players clearly find the combat system perfectly satisfying. But for me, it felt like there wasn't enough room for creative builds. I longed for more diverse weapon options and more significant differences between them. It felt like, regardless of my choices, the combat often played out in a similar fashion. The limited number of truly impactful build choices slightly diminished my overall enjoyment.
That being said, the sheer scale of the game, the depth of the story, and the unforgettable characters far outweigh this personal issue. The side quests were often more engaging than the main storyline, pulling me into the lives of the people inhabiting this richly realized world. The choices and consequences approach to the narrative kept me hooked.
Despite my personal feeling of limited build options in combat, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a phenomenal game. I't's a game that will stay with me for a long time, even if I did wish for more build variety.
I'm on my second play through since the next gen update and you can't even tell this game is nearly 10 years old.
I will admit that the combat could certainly use a little variety of movement/attack patterns. But there's so much more to the game than that.
Team Triss btw
Fantastic game. 70 hrs in. Take your time with this game. Don't rush it.

4th play-through but first time on desktop with good setup. Game looks and run like it was made 2 years ago. Great combat, excellent story, visuals and environment are amazing, and W4 soon!
Unlike its predecessor, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt doesn't exactly come screaming off the starting line. Compared to The Witcher 2, where you're immediately plunged headlong into a sexy story of intrigue and betrayal, this main quest can seem mundane, even perfunctory at times. But each time I stepped off the well-beaten path to blaze my own trail, it turned into a wild, open, exhilarating fantasy roleplaying experience, rife with opportunities to make use of its excellent combat. Even after over 24 hours with The Witcher 3, it still tempts me to press on – there’s so much more I want to learn, and hunt.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – One of the Best Open-World RPGs Ever
My Rating: 10/10
I put alot of effort into this review so if you like it, please consider leaving an award, I would really appreciate it.
*Contains some Spoilers*
This game is a huge accomplishment for the video game industry, The Witcher 3 redefines storytelling, exploration, and character development, setting a new standard for the genre. From the first moment you step into the shoes of Geralt, you are swept into a vast, immersive world full with life, choices, and consequences.
The Story is outstanding, The main quest which is for Geralt to find Ciri, intertwines with a larger, world-shattering conflict involving the Wild Hunt a group of spectral riders who threaten to invade the world. The main narrative is gripping, complex, and emotional, the side quests also truly set this game apart. Every side mission feels like a self-contained story, full of morally questionable decisions, intriguing characters, and meaningful choices. The writing is superb, with dialogue that feels rich, nuanced, and impactful. The game’s branching narrative paths and the consequences of your actions create a world that feels genuinely reactive to the player.
Combat is a huge part of what makes this game so memorable, it is fluid and satisfying. The fights are dynamic and the use of signs adds an extra layer of strategy. Fighting monsters each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and lore requires both preparation and skill, depending on the difficulty. The game also encourages you to craft potions, bombs, and oils to gain an advantage in battle, making for a deep and rewarding combat system.
This is not just a game, it’s an experience. Its compelling story, polished world and complex characters offer an adventure that you will remember forever. The level of depth and the emotional resonance make it a rare gem in the world of video games. If you have yet to play this game I could not recommend it enough, a must play for an open world RPG fan.
i played this game for 50 hours only to realize how burnt out I was with all the extra side content I'd been doing. on paper, the story is interesting, and don't get me wrong, the main story line is perfectly fine, but when you're doing another monster hunt for another troll for another 200 coin reward you start to get numbed by the gameplay and the "open-world" nature of the game. the skill tree is for the most part useless (as someone who played on the hardest difficulty offered) because the game is already way too easy if you just spam Quen and never take damage (you literally never get punished).
this game would've been better as a linear story based game tbh
This is a no-brainer recommendation, even more so if you get on sale. Overall the game still holds up well, even after all these years, especially with the next gen upgrade. It definitely feels its age at times (sound effects and dialogue for example) but these are relatively minor issues which don't affect the gameplay all that much.
Best game ever 10\10 .
its perfect , the story 10\10 , game play 9\10 ,Graphics 9\10.
game from 2015 and its better than all 2023-2024.
the DLC heart of stone one of the best DLC ever
now i play wine and blood its best DLC ever intel now.
the witcher 3 its masterpiece.
i hope the witcher 4 be like the witcher 3.
big respekt for CD Projekt .
It's my favourite open world game. The game's got a lot of mechanics and you have to care for all of them. That makes you attracted to the game even more. And the story... I like doing side quests and exploring a lot. And this game does that part of the job perfectly. You've got tons of side quests. Even if you finish all, then you got contracts. If you finish them all, too, then you've got lots of places to explore. This game has every single thing you would want in a game. Worth every penny
классная игра, казалось бы, зайду на минут 10 и забью хер, но настолько сильно проникся всем тем что в ней есть, что аж 50 часов из нее не вылазил, всем советую, сюжет и доп. квесты это просто нечто
The Witcher 3: Wild hunt is one of the best games that I have played. The large open-world full of things to discover, characters to meet, quests to complete, monsters to hunt, and Gwent to play. all these things together make The Witcher 3 an unforgettable experience.
If you like single player games, with a large map to explore, a phenomenal soundtrack, hours of gameplay, and don't forget Gwent. I love halting any important objective because I need to play Gwent. 10/10 highly recommend playing The Witcher 3: Wild hunt.
Geralt of Rivia Is just an awesome character, and The Witcher 3: Wild hunt is an awesome game.
Recommended for one of the best story mode games
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
How do you even review The Witcher 3 in 2025?
Everyone knows what it is and what it's not.
Regardless, I played the game fully (Main game + ALL DLCs) for the first time now. It was an excellent experience. It took me around 130 hours, all sidecontent included, on the Death March! difficulty.
I was expecting it to feel "old" in some ways, but I was gladly proven wrong quickly. The game looks amazing to this date, maybe due to the "next gen update" from 2022. The game looked and sounded great - maybe not as detailed as some newer games, but the art style carried and the design of the rather grim world of The Witcher still feels unmatched to this day. Novigrad especially I was surprised by - the city is vast, full of people and actually feels like a city rather than a level in a video game.
Gameplay wise I had no real issues. Though the combat wasn't too deep, the variety in which you can build Geralt made up for it's simplicity. I went for a full Sign build (eg. magic) and had a blast weaving in devastating spells, while fending off enemies with parries of the sword and dodges. Death March! added some challenge and in some cases I used oils and bombs to further fight the various enemies and bosses. The best part about the combat was the variety of enemies. The Witcher 3 is full of very different creatures - man or monster - and a lot of different bosses (Witcher contracts mainly) that kept the game fresh throughout. Some recent games I've played had little in the variety department (Dragon Age: The Veilguard) which in those games made combat extremely repetetive.
Looking past the combat, the game felt fresh due to it's amazing narrative. The story is gripping and every bit of the world feels alive and interesting. It's rare that a game's sidequests have as good or better storylines than the main objective, but the Witcher 3 has that in droves. And this is what the Witcher 3 does best. The stories. The Wticher, while very action-heavy, is an RPG. There are multiple endings, choices to be made that aren't cut and dry and therefore offer interesting stories to tell. I can't help but compare that approach to the genre again to my recently played games. The Witcher 3 did it better 10 years ago.
To keep it short and sweet: Banger of a game, 10/10, even in 2025. Would highly recommend - especially since you can buy the whole lot on sale quite often for less than 15 EUR/$.
I wish i could forget this game and experience it all over again. Besides the combat aspect which now feels a bit outdated and simple, this game was ahead of its time and defined the rpg genre. Simply outstanding and still to this day the best video game i have ever played.
Imagine you're working in a 9-5 corporate job, you're done with your work, you come back home, log onto Steam, see your games list for 5 seconds, buy a game on sale that you're never going to play and then switch off your PC and go to a bar. While having a drink, you think of the good times when games used to be fun and authentic. But then you tell yourself, the problem isn't the games, its you. "Its not that games aren't fun anymore, you have gotten older".
And then I play Witcher 3. And suddenly I can't wait to get myself home after work. Do you have any idea how precious that feeling is ? The feeling that you are actually immersed in the protagonist' shoes. I find myself in anticipation and excitement for the new adventures that are waiting for me, I think while driving back home...."Where is this story headed ? What new places and characters I will meet ?" And lets not talk about the characters. I thought myself as a guy who's dead on the inside and somehow these characters made me laugh, chuckle and empathise at the same time. I haven't felt these feelings for a game since 2008 when I played games such as Final Fantasy 12, Metal Gear Solid 3. Was I wrong to think that I was the problem and not the gaming industry that's shelling out mediocre AAA games with no memorable characters or storyline ?
And I got this game for 3$. 3$ !! And that includes the DLC ! I honestly feel I looted these amazing devs. And I paid twice for games that are not even worth playing. 23 hours in and I still haven't scratched the surface of the story. The side quests are actually fun. I find myself doing the side quests more because its feels like I am watching another episode of the "Witcher 3 TV show". I love this open world, I actually take my time wandering around and exploring every nook and cranny. I haven't done this since GTA San Andreas. I look at some distant island or mountain that I find interesting and I decide to just walk there just for the fun of it. That's how beautiful this Open World this. This is Open World game done right.
Thank you CD Projekt Red. You guys are a gem. I know its 5 years late and I don't know why it took me 5 years to play this, but better late than never.
One of the best games out there, with a very great price on sale, some people might not like the slow combat, so be wary of it, other than that, the game is awesome
Can't believe that this is actually 10 years old , the story as well as the gameplay both are highly addictive , there is so much to do here . While playing you will be attached to the game and the character , the environment and NPCs are interactive with insane details and realism . The game has pretty good graphics so I suggest using a good GPU for this .
I'm unable to play this due to lack of time as a 17 yo student , but I'll surely complete this "MASTERPIECE" and waiting for my examinations to end .
Guys just trust me , this was the Game of The Year for a reason......
well-written storyline, epic gameplay, and stunning graphics. world and NPCs are detailed
Finally doing a review of this game.
I tried to play it many times over the past years on ps4 and switch,couldn't get past Skellige cuz I felt overwhelmed by the amount of content.
But this time I actually went to the end,purged the game of it's quests,dlc included so I feel like I can actually make a review.
We'll start by good points then bad ones then a conclusion as always.
The good :
- The story has been amazing,always keeping me on the edge with unexpected situations,sometimes with moral dilemna where there's no good or bad,just opinions that diverge.
- The amount of details in dialogues and side quests that actually matter is crazy,like saving a random npc and he comes back 50h later to help you for example.
- The number of things to do in this game is both incredible and awful,there's plenty of things to do. Treasure hunts,contracts,side quests,monster nests to destroy,villages to free,bandit outposts,etc. And that made me stop multiple times because I always feel the need to do side content,this time I pulled through and I don't regret it.
- The animations are really cool,sometimes a bit messy and some T-pose but most of the time it's great and fluid.
- The bestiary is great,it's one of the big points of this game. The monster hunting part where you track a monster,interrogate people,reads the bestiary,prepare traps,potions,etc.
- Graphically it's a masterpiece,music is also great,I don't feel the need to elaborate more tbh.
- Voice acting was great,I tried both French and English and ngl they're both amazing and made characters very likeable and authentic for most of them.
- Blood and Wine was the absolute peak content of the game imo,I adored every single second of it. I did it before starting Skellige to take a breather from Novigrad and the main story and without that I probably would have given up again. It's mostly based off France,my homeland so I felt very much at home. Enjoyed the quests,the story,the house you get,etc.
Now I want to talk about a few bad stuff the game has.
- First of all,the obvious,as much as I loved it,the game is way too big and pushes away so many people who aren't willing to endure,I know you'll say "but you can just focus on the main story" but the thing is,side content is very important to the side story. If I didn't do some side quests,I wouldn't have had some options and main quests. There's so much to do,in fact TOO much to do that it feels like drowning under the content at times.
- The game is a major buggy mess. I can't count the number of bugs i had. Going through doors,sequences breaking,T-pose,quests not starting,enemies not spawning,crashes,not being able to access the storage for the rest of the game cuz it crashes,etc. It made me want to stop many times.
- As much as I absolutely adore the contracts,let's face it,it's ALWAYS the same thing if you exclude their amazing plots. You go in a place,follow footprints,a smell or blood stains then you find the monster at the end and kill it,then go report. I loved absolutely all contracts for their plots and the fact that in many of them you had more choices than just killing the monsters.
- The level scaling option is broken and enemies will sometimes one-shot you or do 1 damage.
Should you play it ? Absolutely yes !
Should you finish it ? Probably not on your first try,if it gets too much for you,take a small break or play one of the DLCs to cool down from the story a bit,do not try to get everything on each maps,it'll just be too much for you.
Other than that,I definitively recommend it.
I've played this game for about 90 hours in the last 2 weeks and let me tell you, this is hands down one of the best games I've had the privilege of playing. Mind you I'm still not close to the end of the story even after sinking 90 hours into it, just made it to Skellige in fact, that alone should tell you about how rich this game is in terms of content.
The story is great, the characters are wonderful, combat can be a bit lacking but it's not that bad, but my favorite thing about this game, by far, is Gwent - the card minigame. Nothing beats Gwent, it's definitely the best minigame I've ever played and experienced.
I've had this on my backlog for a while, didn't think it'd be as good of an experience especially after playing through Elden Ring and Sekiro, but my God I was wrong. The Witcher 3 gets a solid 10/10 from me. I will update this review once more after I finish the game. But either way, I highly recommend this game to anyone looking to pick up an open world RPG, TW3 is a fine masterpiece that everyone should experience at least once.
I know, I am late to the party to review one of the allegedly best video games of all times. But it's true. It's all true. This is definitely one of the best games I have ever played.
The best summary of this experience was written a long time ago in 2015 (at the time of the game's release), by a great, long-inactive YouTube channel called Super Bunnyhop, in a video called "2015: The Rollicking Riveting Adventure".
Here is a transcript of what he said in the video:
[hr][/hr]
"The Witcher 3 the Wild Hunt is a realized version of my child childhood dream of what the games of 2015 would become.
THIS is what Adventure sounds like. THIS is what Adventure looks like!
A dashing hero, a dominant love interest and a beautiful and Untamed Frontier create the closest thing to an adult Zelda that we may ever get. It's what i imagined as a kid thinking about what a Baldur's gate would look like from this perspective with this level of fidelity.
You've got a city as big and busy as the Gotham of the competing Arkham game, surrounded by miles of farmland with an outer ring of war torn wasteland that's more dense with depressing side quests than the competing Fallout.
Teleport to the next map over and you're in a place iterating farther on the Viking fantasy than where Skyrim left off.
But evoking the sights and sounds of classic adventure is only skin deep and Witcher 3 goes deeper. This adult version of Zelda with its adult version of the hero's journey still maintains a moral compass. Though a lot of reviews may disagree, there is [i]good and evil in the Witcher universe. If you look at the endings of quests like Family Matters, Carnal sins and the game's various endings you can see how that compass is set up to confuse you. Although, in retrospect, the path to whatever good ends to these quests exist may be clear your way there is always murky in the heat of the moment.
The Witcher 3 punishes brash heroism and quick judgments. Playing a thoroughly evil Geralt who makes this world worse than what you start with is probably going to happen completely by accident even if you had good intentions. Seeing through lies, spotting propaganda and passion and failing to fall for red herrings that's how you get the good endings in this one.
It's a world not unlike our own and its cheerful sense of humor, its upbeat and lively soundtrack and more than anything eles, its overwhelming amount of humanity, make this one of the few cases where the mature rating on the box actually describes what's inside.
And all that goes without saying how much work was obviously put into this thing that's what really sets it above the competitors on a technical if not artistic level.
The most optional of side quests can branch off to these amazing self-contained stories that can last hours... Some of the best cutcenes in writing can be found in these obscure corners that are entirely locked out if you didn't even meet the right conditions in the previous game!
It's a massive 70-hour sandbox game with quality to match its quantity. It's an uncompromising force of the classic old school idea for a videogame."[/i]
[hr][/hr]
At that time, you could tell that the AAA market wasn't exactly on the verge of imploding and expectations, despite many current issues already present at that time (perhaps not as prevalent), were generally positive.
It can be said that people consider Witcher 3 (myself included) to be one of the best games of all time, due to the enormous display of competence that simply no one was used to.
It was the new generational frontier being crossed with all the power that was entitled to. It was a game that delivered beyond any expectations and caused a huge reverberation across the market.
Several imitators came later, trying to copy the same structure, failing to replicate the essence of what made the game work. But the legacy left by the impact of Witcher 3 still remains.
It's a world of inexhaustible charm and wonder, which pulls you into it with its multifaceted narrative hooks, irresistible performances and STILL jaw-dropping art direction.
Never, in any game, have I felt so much like simply contemplating the entrance to a forest, to the sound of the strong wind hitting the trees. I've never heard a soundscape as striking, immersive and captivating as in this game.
Music, sound and image in perfect harmony, selling this epic in an unparalleled way.
Other games have far surpassed Witcher technologically, the gameplay is not the most complex and varied, and the main plot still struggles with itself to deliver a highly unconventional and original story and a highly conventional blockbuster end-of-trilogy epic conflict against a cool villain (which no one really knows), but the soul of this game is still what makes me want to come back here from time to time and sink 50 hours into it like it was nothing.
It's an extremely easy recommendation. It's one of the best games on the market for its price. The value you get from it is basically equivalent to buying New Vegas. You think you stole it because it was so cheap.
I had a few 8th gen consoles and bought Witcher 3 for all of them and I never regretted it for a second.
This is one of the greats. No sign of it getting old.
Almost 10 years after the release and this game is still beautiful, engaging, and so well written. Graphically, the free next gen updates they released have this looking great on my 4k tv -- so much better than Starfield's visuals, especially on character models. The narrative is inviting and compelling. Geralt's voice overs as you interact with the environment and engage with people and objects makes this feel like a twisted detective noir that we didn't know we needed.
Nice graphics despite being nine years old, great story line and could write an essay of positives.
Only con I can say is Roach - the movement of the god damn horse...
A Great RPG, but Slightly Overrated, You Should Probably Just Play Dark Souls 2.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is undeniably one of the most successful and acclaimed RPGs of the past decade, offering a vast open world, engaging storytelling, and a rich fantasy setting. Its main narrative, filled with morally complex choices and unforgettable characters, sets it apart from many other RPGs. The side quests are often praised for their depth, and the world-building is top-notch, with each region feeling distinct and full of lore. However, despite its widespread acclaim, The Witcher 3 can feel slightly overrated at times. The game's combat, while functional, often feels clunky and repetitive, especially when compared to other RPGs. Additionally, some players might find the sheer amount of content overwhelming, with a world that can occasionally feel bloated with filler tasks. While it is a fantastic game, it's not without its flaws, and its reputation as the "perfect RPG" doesn’t always hold up under scrutiny.
Dark Souls 2: The Best Game Ever Created
On the other hand, Dark Souls 2 is often hailed as the best game ever created, offering a level of depth, challenge, and world design that The Witcher 3 simply cannot match. While The Witcher 3 offers a grand, narrative-driven experience, Dark Souls 2 creates a world that is rich with hidden secrets, intricate lore, and a haunting atmosphere. The combat in Dark Souls 2 is tight and methodical, rewarding precision and strategy, and the world-building is seamless, making exploration a truly rewarding experience. Every victory feels earned, every area offers something new to discover, and the interconnected world design is masterful. The game's difficulty is not just a challenge; it’s a key part of the experience, making each encounter meaningful. Dark Souls 2 stands out for its level of player agency, where you’re not just following a linear story but forging your own path through an intricately designed world.
Why Dark Souls 2 Is Superior
While The Witcher 3 offers an epic, narrative-driven journey, Dark Souls 2 is superior in terms of its design, challenge, and depth. Dark Souls 2 doesn’t rely on a rich narrative to carry the experience—rather, it focuses on creating a world that feels alive and requires the player to engage with it deeply. The sense of discovery and achievement in Dark Souls 2 is unmatched, and the game's difficulty offers a level of satisfaction that The Witcher 3’s more forgiving combat cannot replicate. The difficulty, complexity, and rewarding gameplay loops in Dark Souls 2 make it a much more engaging and impactful experience. If you’re looking for a game that doesn’t just tell you a story, but challenges you to become part of its world, Dark Souls 2 is far superior and is, without a doubt, the best game ever created.
Good game , it has a few bugs but still playable nice graphics nice story,I liked the game worth it!
The Witcher 3 is an RPG masterpiece and one of the best games in history.
I LOVE THIS GAME
Every year I try to get into this game because apparently it's one of the greatest games ever made.
Inventory is bad.
Traversal is bad.
Camera hates you.
You fight the controls as much as you fight monsters.
The world is terrible and everyone should already be dead from random monsters that live just outside their houses.
Geralt is a badass murder machine that for some reason helps incompetent and horrible people that won't help him unless he finds their shovel that they beat their dog with or some other bullshit. Just peel them slowly and they will help.
I just can't anymore. Bad game is bad.
