Amazing graphics, runs beautifully on Ultra @ 60 FPS. Storyline has much to be desired. It's great to see Polish folklore make it's way into such a big game. This game is based off Andrezj Sapkowski's works on the Witcher Series originating from Poland and some characters are based off real historical figures during the dates set in the books (13th century). CD Projekt Red has done justice to the series with it's extended story and amazing visuals. The gameplay itself is engaging and I highly reccomend it be played on the hardest difficulty(Death March). In relation to the previous game, there is also a major decision that splits the story into two paths. The effect is only noticed at the end of the game unlike throughout the story as in The Witcher 2. Every decision made has consequences and affects the story and game in some way, some very small but still noticeable. Even the Open World interactions with sidequests and events will trigger a reaction to the overall game. This is defiitely worth the money as it easily takes 80+ hours to finish the game. I do not recommend skipping side quests as they affect the story's ending drastically and are required to get the "best" ending possible.
My overall thoughts are, Fantastic graphics despite the downgrade, i can run it at 60fps on ultra with an EVGA 770 card(Slightly OCed),
Stellar combat system, much better than the witcher 2 style and much more smoothed out. Much more engaging and challenging than Skyrim(IMO) and requires focus and awareness in every battle.
Outstanding story, this is an interpretation of the Witcher series but does it justice. The branching endings and differentiation of them greatly impacts the replay value. The dystopian like feel mimics the situation of the books perfectly and adds a bit of helplessness as you can't save everyone all the time.
Amazing post release support. I've never seen a company work on bug fixes as much as CD Projekt Red post release. Just 3 months after the initial launch, they fixed every issue that was reported since then and amounted to ~ 5 pages of bug fixes. The support for this game is amazing and i suspect, will continue for a long time.
I definitely recommend this if you like RPGs and are interested in a game which challenges morals, mixes fantasy and sci-fi in an amazing fashion and provides great support, gameplay and story.
