this game is the BEST game ever , that feeling when u finish a long day of school or work and hop on this game after a long day discovering its amazing well written story , the realistic and immersive environment its even the side quests feel like a main story and dont even get me started on the dlcs they were the best one ive ever seen in a videogame this game deserves every single dollar and time spent on it i really recommend it for everyone

[h1]Short Review[/h1] Witcher 3 is one of the best AAA RPGs I've played to date. The world is massive and full of life, the lore pulls you in even if you've never touched the previous games, the DLC is among the best ever released for a AAA title, and the exploration alone is worth the price of admission. The swordplay gets a little trivialized once you unlock certain skills, and a couple of the characters grated on me personally, but those are small complaints against an enormous, exceptional game. Highly recommended. [h1]Full Review[/h1] I went into Witcher 3 having never played Witcher 1 or 2, and within a few hours, I was reading up on the lore from the previous games and the books because the world made me want to know more. That's not something a lot of RPGs manage to pull off, and it's one of the best things I can say about what CD PROJEKT RED built here. [b]The lore and story.[/b] The writing in this game is something else. Even as a newcomer to the series, I never felt lost or excluded from what was happening. The world builds itself through dialogue, environmental storytelling, and side quests that treat you like an adult, and the further you dig into it, the more you want to keep going. The dialogue system gives you real agency over how Geralt approaches situations, which is a difficult balance to strike when you're playing a character with his own established personality and history. The game manages it well, letting you shape his responses in ways that feel consistent with who he is while still giving you a point of view to express. [b]The exploration.[/b] There is an enormous amount of ground to cover, and it stays interesting. What could easily have felt like a monotonous stretch of medieval European countryside instead offers real variety in terrain, enemy types, and the stories attached to each location. Skellige in particular was a highlight for me. The islands are beautiful, the music up there is excellent, and exploring the different hotspots scattered across the water was a welcome change of pace from the mainland. The world rewards curiosity in a way that a lot of open-world games promise and don't deliver. [b]The combat.[/b] The monster combat is engaging and makes good use of the sign system, with enough variety in enemy behaviors that you're encouraged to actually think about your approach rather than just button-mashing. The swordplay against human and non-human enemies is fun for most of the game, though it does get a bit trivialized once you unlock Whirl and Rend. Those abilities have a habit of stunlocking most enemies you'll encounter, which makes fights easier than they probably should be. Very handy on Death March difficulty, but it does remove some of the challenge once you have access to them. [b]The DLC.[/b] Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are the benchmark for what DLC should be. Both add substantial content, interesting characters, and new scenarios that feel like full extensions of the game rather than afterthoughts. Blood and Wine is the stronger of the two, but both are worth your time. My one complaint is that some of the gameplay upgrades introduced through the DLC come late enough in the overall progression that you don't get as much time with them as you'd like. Still, having them at all is more than most AAA games bother to offer. [b]The characters.[/b] Most of the cast is excellent, but I'll be honest: I didn't enjoy the moments that required spending time with Yennefer or Dandelion. That's a personal thing more than a design criticism; I just don't enjoy certain personality types, whether I encounter them in real life or in fiction, and both of those characters hit that nerve for me. I know plenty of people love them, and I'm not going to tell anyone they're wrong. They just weren't for me. I heard Dandelion is better in the books, though. I also like what he does in the Blood and Wine DLC for Geralt, as that shows why he is one of the people Geralt will ride or die for. [b]Overall.[/b] Witcher 3 is an exceptional RPG that earns every piece of praise it's received. The world is rich and rewarding to explore, the writing pulls you in and keeps you there, the DLC sets a standard most games don't come close to, and even the rough edges are minor in the context of everything the game does right. If you haven't played it yet, there's no good reason to wait. Highly recommended.

10/10 GAME!!! Man where do I even start, this game has it all. The story is great but that's not what makes this game great its the amount of things you can do and learn about which makes this game great. From the main quest to secondary quest to even the treasure hunting quest are all intriguing and amazing in its own right. The dialogue in this is almost perfect with letting you choose how you want to play and each selection having lasting effects on what's to come in the future makes this insane. The fighting system to the different monsters out there and allowing you to research them to get a better understanding of them and their weaknesses is brilliant and allows you to set up combat fights in different ways. The looting system and leveling up with only allowing you certain skills to fit your play style is also amazing and lets not forget about one of the most important things in the game....GWENT!!!. Gwent and getting all the cards to build and make your deck better should of been its own game outright but having it here and adding tournaments and npc's who you could play against was insane. Last thing I will touch on that makes this game great is the characters and the vast open world where you can almost go anywhere you see which makes you want to explore everything. This game did not disappoint and has creeped into one of if not my favorite game of all time! Now I heavily look forward to the Witcher 4 as I hope it can live up to this game and might be better then it. Hearts of stone DLC (7.5/10): Not a bad addition to the base game which expands the map out a little bit giving you more lore and areas to explore. I think this main storyline was interesting and was enjoyable throughout. Blood and wine DLC (10/10): This right here means something to me man. This outright could of been The Witcher 4 and I would of been fine paying the $60 that they charge now but a DLC??? This had everything from the vast amount of new areas to explore within "Toussaint" to the Main quest, secondary quest, and treasure quest. The characters were all intriguing and had an amazing main line story along with the different events you could do throughout. The scenery was beautiful and there is so much to explore making me realize why this is one of the best DLC's of all time.

[h2]The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[/h2] [h2]Vote [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/292030/The_Witcher_3_Wild_Hunt/]96[/url][/b] ✅[/h2] There's very little to say...those familiar with the game know what I'm talking about. Pure video game art. Every single, tiny detail in the game is meticulously crafted. Every side quest, even the most pointless, has a purpose in the game world and can open up different scenarios. The time spent stopping for a moment and admiring the landscapes, the mountains, and nature is incredible. Even today, after so many years, it remains probably the best medieval fantasy RPG on the market. https://store.steampowered.com/app/292030/The_Witcher_3_Wild_Hunt/

I should have written this review much earlier, but only got around to it now. With the DLC announced and The Witcher 4 coming closer to release, I felt like playing this game again. It's still a masterpiece. The atmosphere, story, world, and characters are just as strong as I remembered. Highly recommended.

I had The Witcher 3 sitting in my game library for years. Every time I looked at it, I told myself, "I'll play it when the time is right." Somehow, the "right time" never came. Then two of my friends (who are hardcore TW3 fans) finally got tired of my excuses and simply said, "The right time is now." So I listened. I honestly don't know why I waited so long, but I can say one thing with complete confidence—the wait was absolutely worth it. From the moment I started playing, I knew this wasn't just another open-world game. It felt like stepping into a living, breathing world where every village, forest, swamp, and city had its own story to tell. Even random side quests felt better written than the main stories of many other games I have played. The story is an easy 10 out of 10. It is emotional, exciting, funny, dark, and full of moments that stay with you long after you finish playing. The choices actually matter, and sometimes the game makes you question if there was ever a "right" choice in the first place. What impressed me the most was how the game puts you in Geralt's shoes. You are not just controlling a character—you become him. The world is incredibly immersive. I often started playing with one goal in mind, only to get distracted for hours just exploring caves or just riding across beautiful landscapes. I know I am very late to the fandom, but I have absolutely no regrets. Sometimes great games don't have an expiry date, and this is one of them. In fact, playing it years after release made me appreciate just how far ahead of its time it really was. In a surprisingly short time, this has become one of my all-time favorite games. It gave me one of the most immersive gaming experiences I have ever had, with unforgettable characters, an incredible story, and a world that feels alive every single minute. If you are like me and have been letting this game collect digital dust in your library, let me save you some time. Stop waiting for the "perfect moment." The right time is now.

I honestly did not expect to enjoy this game this much. I was basically out of games to play, just scrolling through my Steam library, and then I randomly stumbled across The Witcher 3 again. I actually tried it around 5 years ago, but back then I got stuck, could kill the lvl 40 drowners (i was level 5), my English was not good enough, and I basically did not understand ♥♥♥♥. So I gave it another chance now, and bro… best decision ever. First of all, how does this game look this good after 11 years? The graphics, the atmosphere, the world, the lighting, the landscapes, sometimes I just stop riding and look around because it still looks better than a lot of newer games. The story is amazing, the main quests are great, but what really surprised me is that even the side quests are actually fun and interesting. They are not just random “go there, kill this, come back” missions. Most of them have their own little story, choices, consequences, and sometimes they hit way harder than expected. And the DLCs… I have literally never bought DLCs for a game before. Never. But people recommended both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, so I bought them, and it was probably the best decision I could have made. They are not just “extra content,” they feel like full new adventures. Fun, exciting, challenging, interesting, emotional, honestly, no words can describe how much I enjoyed them. I have been playing this game for days, sometimes even 10 hours a day, which is crazy for me. And this is probably going to be the first game I actually try to 100%. The Witcher 3 surprised me in every possible way. The world feels alive, the characters feel real, the quests are entertaining, and the whole game just pulls you in. I would VERY much recommend it. 10/10, absolute masterpiece.

I bought the game on sale with both of it's DLCs and tried playing with a PS5 controller. The tutorial taught all the basic controls to me perfectly. Then I got to the first main town where I was able to go and do my own stuff and couldn't get off my horse by holding circle (or B). Tried doing it with my keyboard and it didn't work, so tried rebinding the key and it only let me rebind to my left-click or right-click. Aside from that, the horse couldn't go through bushes and would come to a complete stop while still in the animation every time I came remotely close to a tree. Choosing dialogue options with the controller would sometimes skip over an option, making me choose the one below/above the one I intended to choose (it did the same in the menu as well). Overall, the controls make this game genuinely unplayable as I haven't found solutions to any of these issues, thus I wouldn't recommend it at all.

writing a review after ending this game. Even after ending all main quest + side quests + completing my full Gwent collection, I still hop in sometimes to enjoy the places. Clearing monster nests, or some chests or doing nothing I still wander alone. When I was near the end of the Blood and wine DLC I was doing a lots of other things instead playing the story. Because I never wanted this game to end. But it ended. As I'm talking about the ending- the ending of Heart of Stone was too good. Heart of stone dlc is Great for the story. I played both the ending. Best story ever. I hope they'd bring more of these Gwent challenges and Tournaments in the DLC and in Witcher 4. Because I want more...

absolute cinema of a game....raoch is cool as a character but i really prefer the horse mechanics in rdr2..
