The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Reviews
Over seven years after its original release, The Witcher 3 is still a masterpiece. In its character writing and dialogue, it's yet to be surpassed, while its knack for telling so many engrossing stories is still seriously impressive. Although aspects of its gameplay haven't aged quite so well, there's no doubt that Complete Edition is the best version of a truly outstanding open world adventure.
Let's not procrastinate, The Witcher 3 is well at the level we expected it to be. Bulimic RPG that devours everything in its path, the title has absolutely everything to convince. An impressive plastic when you measure the size of its universe, a generosity without limits, then a gameplay certainly classic but well put together.

The quality and quantity of the content in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are beyond compare and without peer. It is now the gold standard to which all other RPGs will be held. With hundreds of hours of rich, detailed story, a plethora of side quests, incredible aesthetic design, deep combat systems, and unprecedented sense of place and character, it checks off all of the boxes for excellence in the genre. Those plaudits come at a price, though, as the game can be a technical grab bag of minor (and major) bugs and glitches. While there is little doubt that CD Projekt RED will be giving the game consistent patch and DLC support to smooth out the majority of these marks, you can only buff out the dents in the horrific control scheme so much. Fortunately, these technical gripes and moments of mechanical frustration are easy to overlook when examining the experience as a whole. This is a game that should not be missed by RPG fans, should be tried by curious gamers, and will be looked back upon as one of the best ever. Consider it a must play and say goodbye to your summer.
I've made it pretty clear that it's hardly a flawless game, but that doesn't change the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is something pretty bloody special and you should absolutely play it.
There is no question The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt delivers a superb 'Triple A' RPG experience. Featuring some of the best story telling we have seen so far this year and an unforgettable, dynamic and vast open world, Witcher 3 stands as a must own for not only fans of the franchise but those looking for rich experience they can soak 100+ hours into.
From its engrossing world to its compelling narrative and characters, The Witcher 3 is one of the best games in years. The Witcher 3 is a must-own for role-playing genre fans—and gamers in general. The experience shouldn't be missed.
A masterclass in open-world game design, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt packs every pixel of its gorgeous world with compelling fiction and believable, satisfying role-playing.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sets a new standard for open world RPGs. Its shockingly cohesive world is as beautiful as it is demanding, and it's packed full of mature content that throws you from one emotional response to the next. Its storytelling is superb, its combat is grippingly refined, and its often unforgiving nature only lends itself to a brilliantly rewarding experience. In an industry that's flooded with so many by-the-book open world titles, Wild Hunt stands out as a true labour of love from a developer that's uncompromisingly passionate about its creative freedom. Geralt's incredible adventure is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Fighting monsters, gathering information and carrying out side quests can be a slow process, but then The Witcher 3 isn't a game you'll want to rush. Not only do you care about the characters and want to see how their stories end, but you want to scour every inch of The Witcher 3's glorious game world. It's a world you want to get lost in, a world where fast travel is an afterthought and a world you want to keep exploring in case there's something you've missed.
I could spend pages raving about how good The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is. Rarely do I hand out this score, and I think that speaks volumes about this game. This is easily one of the best games of 2015, but beyond that it is the best fantasy RPG I have played to date, alongside being the best open-world game since Rockstar's phenomenal Red Dead Redemption. This game is a must own, it is worth buying one of these new consoles (or a hefty PC if you have the cash). It will take something special to replace this game for years to come.
This free update delivers on all counts, with not only a substantive graphical upgrade but an entirely new quest that's worth the price of admission alone. If you've played before, we still recommend heading back. If you haven't, you're in for one of the best games of all time.
The Witcher III was one of the biggest video games of 2015, it is now, thanks to this careful update for the latest consoles, one of the biggest of 2022, unabashedly thanks to the care given to these PS5, Xbox Series and PC versions.

The current gen update of The Witcher 3 has allowed us to dive back into the disorders of a world full of charm, mysterious and overflowing with sensory nuances. Although with a high-caliber facelift, the third chapter of the series remains the son of its generation, for better or for worse.

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.

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 Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the first great RPG of the current generation of consoles. Its gigantic world full of relevant things to do, fine combat, captivating story and very high degree of customization, make it one of the games that have caused me the most joy throughout my life enjoying this wonderful medium. I can't find the right words to do justice to the incredible work delivered by CD Projekt Red, a studio that has undoubtedly earned a place alongside the biggest in this industry.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the new RPG by which all other RPGs should be judged. Not only has CD Projekt Red deliverered the largest and most convincing fantasy open-world we’ve ever seen, but a storyline, quests and systems that make it an incredibly compelling place to run, ride and sail around in.
"Wild Hunt" will go down as one of the truly great Role Playing Games, and with planned content down the road, there is more than enough to say that "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will serve as a tent pole title for CD Projekt Red, and their pride in the world, story, and characters of "The Witcher" shows through each frame.
