A game that is flawless in every aspect except the combat, which is merely passable. One of the most beautiful games ever made with each area being a treat to the eyes, whether it's the swamps of Velen, the city of Novigrad, the islands of Skellige or the lush countryside of Toussaint. World building is top notch - I always enjoy reading the bestiary and journal entries of various characters you meet. The characters are all fantastic, Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Trish, etc. are instantly likable and interesting, and while Eredin might not be the best villain ever made, it is more than made up for with Gaunter o'Dimm and Detlaff van der Eretain in the two DLCs. The story is gripping from beginning to end and the side quests are equally fantastic as well. Music is also great, especially in the Skellige region. Role play aspect is also done very well, I rarely if ever felt like my dialogue options were meaningless. Gwent is also quite addicting.
Again, combat could be better and there are quite a lot of bugs but otherwise it's an absolute must-buy and is a game that sets the standards for RPGs everywhere.

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.

Masterpiece.
Yes it's still a tiny bit jank and combat is overly simple, even with the multitude of options you're given. But that's all the bad here. The world is beautiful and a joy to explore, quests are amazingly designed and the soundtrack is phenomenal.
