The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt reviews and comments
A game that is simply a masterpiece — ideal, perfect. If you’re looking for a story-driven open-world game, this is the perfect choice for you. The equipment crafting system is amazing and very enjoyable — nothing complicated, and the same goes for alchemy. Everything is clear and well designed. The skill tree is also done in a simple way — nothing overly complex, very readable yet highly expanded. With each playthrough, you can try a completely different build. Of course, some builds are more overpowered than others, but all of them are viable and fun to play. I’ve completed this game about five times and I will finish it a few more times for sure. This game simply never gets boring! The characters are incredible, and it’s very easy to get attached to them and like them. The dialogues are just as good — some lines are still stuck in my head to this day. The locations are also beautiful, ranging from swampy areas to icy islands. The story is very dynamic and engaging, and everything fits together nicely. The expansions are also very immersive, with stunning locations and wonderful stories. The game is created with a Slavic atmosphere, so while playing it you can dive into Slavic culture and learn many traditions. I’m from Poland myself, so I can confirm that the game captures our vibe perfectly. If there’s anyone who has never played this game — don’t even think twice, just buy it immediately. I would give a lot to be in your place and experience it again without remembering anything.
