The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Reviews
Playing The Witcher 3 with an eye for grand strategy can be both a densely engrossing and mechanically frustrating, overlong adventure. When played one move at a time, however, Wild Hunt is the supreme alchemical distillation of the role-playing experience. It's a bleakly human play at the heart of a dark fantasy.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games ever made.
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.
After spending more than 100 hours in The Witcher 3, we're still left with dozens of side quests to complete, enormous tracts of land left to explore, and monsters yet to fight. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a thoughtful, diverse, and frequently awe-inspiring adventure. Its stories are deep and satisfying, unafraid to touch on themes of personal character, presenting players with choices and consequences that aren't about turning into a hero or a villain. In the end, it's quite simply one of the best RPGs ever made.
The Witcher 3 is vast, intriguing, and enthralling.
A unique experience that cannot be missed, becoming a must for lovers of role-playing and swashbuckling games. We will miss you, Geralt.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not a game dedicated to purists and gameplay admirers, since in the combat system and in the methods of exploring the map there is still that rough and poorly finished vein that has always distinguished the saga, which unfortunately has not been made the subject of significant improvements, not to mention the lack of enemy artificial intelligence. Despite the character's chances of growth, extensive inventory of weapons, armor, and accessories, and crafting, combat sins deep, and the same can be said of quest structure, which ends up reusing the same elements, albeit valid when taken individually. The overall experience therefore fails to overcome itself in terms of playability, adapting well to the free roaming formula but without guaranteeing a depth able to withstand for all the many hours of play offered. More than anything, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an extraordinary work from a narrative point of view.

The examination of the open world passage passed brilliantly by The Witcher 3, which does not forget its roots. Beautiful, generous, remarkably well written and staged, enjoying an effective gameplay, this adventure is devoured like a good book whose pages could be rewritten. There is always something to accomplish in these gigantic expanses, superb, full of life and animation, and the charm operated from the first minutes of this violent and adult fresco never breaks, despite some obvious flaws.

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.

The Witcher 3 is a game aiming for highest praise - you simply can't get enough of it. The need to see what happens next kept me glued to the console for many more hours than I had planned. Unfortunately the The Wild Hunt isn't perfect - the number of smaller and bigger issues can surprise (in a bad way, of course). It is an amazing game but right now the amount of bugs is simply too high.

The vibrant world of The Northern Realms is so vast and includes so much content that you could dedicate a book to it. The leading RPG of the year has arrived, one that won't be matched, let alone surpassed, in the near future. Take that red marker and circle May 19, 2015, but in the agenda: that day, a new standard will definitely be set in gaming.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn't perfect (yet?), but it's one of the best written RPG ever.

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 is one of the best RPG's that I have ever played and after the previous game, I really didn't know what to expect because that game was so good. This game has got characters that you actually care about, a story that is very engaging from the get go and almost flawless gaming mechanics. The combat system works well, especially the varied enemies that you face as you attempt to locate your ward Ciri before The Wild Hunt finds her.
This vast fantasy adventure combines sophisticated storytelling with an expansive and richly conceived world
Massive in size, and meticulously detailed, The Witcher 3 ends Geralt's story on a high note.
The Witcher 3 is a great game — with some major qualifications
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
Despite its vast scope, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt tells a personal, intimate and touching story, filled with characters you'll love and hate, and stuffed with monsters to slay. I completed the main storyline in around 50 hours and - yes I know this is a cliche - I've barely scratched the surface. The Witcher 3 is an astounding achievement.
