The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt review
Exceptional
by ben_auchana

The Witcher 3 is by far my favorite game I've ever played.  There are no words that accurately describe the feeling this game gives you when you play it for the first time.  The multiple astounding themes this game presents from politics to family, from war to love, and from loyalty to differing beliefs, they all make The Witcher 3 feel grounded in reality while still being a fantasy game.  What makes this game so great is its astounding writing.  Every quest you do, every character you encounter, every monster you fight, feels real in the sense that the characters and stories are never two dimensional.  Every character has a story to tell, and the characters will present you with tough decisions that will make you question your morals.  Another thing that makes this game so exceptional is its characters, specifically the main cast.  Every character in this game is fleshed out with hours of content that make you care about them.  Every character has their own identity and personality that makes for some of the best chemistry between characters a game has ever seen.  From Geralt's charisma to Yennefer's sarcasm from Zoltan's wit to Vezemir's wisdom, all make for a memorable cast that people can invest and sympathize with on a deeper level.  Now it might sound like I am praising this game to no end, but I would like to state that before going into the game, I had a very closed mind.  From what I saw through videos and from what I heard from friends, I thought the game was going to be too hardcore and another generic unrealistic fantasy game with no relatability to the player.  So this game had to fight against an (unfair) negative bias I had and still managed to not only surpass my low expectations but it managed to climb the ranks of my favorite games.  Genuinely, the only thing I didn't like about the game was after I beat all the main content and DLC, I felt a void because the story and characters I got invested in had to come to an end. All in all, I definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes a really good singleplayer story game.

10/10

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.
