The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Reviews
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on next-gen consoles is the best way to discover or re-discover one of the most celebrated RPGs of the last decade.
A big, beautiful, sprawling action RPG full of rich stories, and suffused with an oppressive darkness.
Massive in size, and meticulously detailed, The Witcher 3 ends Geralt's story on a high note.
'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' is far from perfect, but despite its flaws, Geralt's final adventure is 2015's strongest candidate for Game of the Year so far.
It will last you months, yet not waste your time. Above all, it has a vivid, enduring personality, something that is exceedingly rare among its breed of mega-budget open-world epics (and that will probably be rarer still once Hideo Kojima and Konami part ways later this year). For my money, it's the greatest role-playing game in years.
This is likely to be the definitive version of a great game, and an excellent excuse to dive back into its gloriously rich and varied world, but at the moment it’s a bug-ridden mess that’s more trouble to play than the seven-year-old original. We’re sure by next Christmas it’ll all be running perfectly but all you get this year is a lump of 4K coal.
A colossal achievement in technical terms, with a level of interaction with the game world and its inhabitants that is unsurpassed in modern video games.
Sloppy combat and ongoing optimisation can't quite spoil this dark fantasy adventure, set in a stunning world of blood and black magic.
With superb storytelling, challenging combat, exciting choices, and unpredictable consequences, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a must-play RPG
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is still one of the best games ever made.
The next-gen upgrade is going to make that available for more people, and I’m excited for that. But it did leave me with a melancholy feeling about where we’ve been and, given the future of The Witcher franchise, where a post-Cyberpunk Witcher game might go. I hope CD Projekt Red’s 2015 RPG, rather than the one it released in 2020, is the foundation that’s built upon.
The Witcher 3 is a great game — with some major qualifications
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games ever made.
A hell of a way to spend a few days of your life.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is probably one of the most well-crafted RPG worlds yet. As you wander the countryside, it feels like a real place filled with the real struggles of the beings that live there. Geralt's story is personal and quite grey; it's not about saving the world, it's about saving his surrogate family. Is it perfect? No, the combat is rote at times and the inventory and crafting needs work, but in the end, The Witcher III is a top-notch RPG experience.
Early on in the adventure it's easy to feel captivated by the sheer scale of it all, but as its shortcomings come to light the attention that it worked so hard to capture can become lost.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a huge step up from its predecessor, mostly because it manages to tell a more compelling and personal tale. At the same time, that intimate feel is juxtaposed against a gigantic, sprawling open-world adventure that may hit some snags along the way but still comes out on top.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition is as essential now as it was seven years ago. Whether you're looking to play the game for the first time or have been waiting for this free upgrade (and bonus quest) before revisiting, then this is the perfect time to start. It's a masterpiece and still stands at the top of its genre.
The perfect example of how all next-gen updates should be: visual improvements on all fronts, several graphic modes, playable and QOL changes, a few touches of new content... And more importantly: completely free. The Witcher 3 was already a masterpiece and now, in addition, it looks scandalous.

Its superb setting, its very high technical level, its duration and, above all, its ability to surprise the player make it a must. The best reason to buy a new console or a powerful PC.
