🔹Stunning Visuals for a game released back in 2015, still looks brand new.

🔹Amount of content is ridiculous I needed around 65 hours ( some offline ) in order to finish only the story and just thinking about all the well made side missions etc you can easily get 200 hours out of this game.

🔹Great Story with deep characters and an amazing atmosphere.

🔹Well made Cutscenes with detailed dialogues.

🔹Great pricing at the moment.

🔹Performance is honestly pretty good for a game that looked that crazy.


🔸Although this is one of the best games I will simply mention one problem not because its bad but because its not as good as other aspects, the fighting mechanics feel a little rusty and basic but other than they do their job.


I honestly was never able to really stick with an RPG and I was a little sceptical starting with the Witcher back in 2017 but I really felt stupid for not giving it a chance a lot earlier, this game is truly a masterpiece.


The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is the third game of the series,it is a Third person open world RPG set in a medieval magical world, where you play as Geralt of Rivia, a professional Monster Hunter who is in a mission to find and protect the Child of the prophecy which at the same time is a major weapon if not controlled correctly, keep in mind that this game uses the REDengine 3 which is the main reason for these amazing visuals.
The game was developed and published by CD PROJEKT RED.

Release Date: 18th May 2015


Let’s just say that this game doesn't do anything insane gameplay wise but it is obviously very good at it.

Open World / Quests:

Usually the main problem with Open World games is that they feel pretty repetitive and overall have the looks of a ‘’dead’’ world where nothing happens etc. but in The Witcher 3 you get such a unique feeling with it, NPCs talk, some of them are disgusted by your presence while others are happy to see you roam around their village, even kids have different reactions to your presence as some of them run away while others look up to you, this is a small sample size but this will be a known concept to you after a while.Now there are various activities, random moments or encounters and even some momentarily quests which make the game feel a lot more alive and social, the Map itself is enormous and it includes caves, sea and hidden areas which adds to the depth of this amazing game. Now to the Quests, despite this being an Open World game almost every mission feels different which is a huge thing compared to other open world games,we can go from Stealthy to finding mysterious relics or ghosts, fighting strong creatures with bows, head to hea combat and more, every mission just has a unique feel to them with every character to that mission playing a role. Side mission are exactly built like that as well, CD Projekt red really took their time to not just slap a half worked mission as a side mission but they actually had a reason to exist and that makes the side missions so appealing, overall the open world and mission structure by itself is just flawless.

Combat:

Now here we enter the only are where I didnt feel that it was that good compared to all the other aspects, fighting in this game isn’t exactly bad or even mediocre but rather solid, the character ( Geralt ) himself feels pretty stiff in my opinion but at the same time he feels as agile as Ciri herself, so the characters feel a little inconsistent, the sword fighting feels strong and solid but I just didn’t get to see many moves it is overall a very basic movement, and lastly barrel roll spamming felt just like Dark Souls to me and despite rolling on enemies they were not hitting me. Overall it is a great experience with some small inconsistencies.


Weather, damages etc.:

The Weather in The Witcher 3 is absolutely great, it is dynamic and a love it when it starts raining that the map looks a lot darker and moody as it should be, the trees physics are still top notch as well.


There will be no major spoilers.
All the major characters from the previous 2 games will be taking part in this installment , now as mentioned above Geralt decided to find the Child of the Prophecy which is Ciri herself, why does he want to find her? In order to protect her from the Wild Hunt, in his quests to achieve all this Geralt meets old faces, some other old female faces with a lot of nudity of course of course meeting other powerful friends helped him a lot on his quests, after all this he located Ciri and they decided to fight against the Wild Hunt in the stronghold etc where they sadly won and lost at the same time, after that Geralt decides to kill the general of the Wild Hunt himself and of course succeeding in that and in a last major fight they all defeat the Wild Hunt while Ciri does her part in saving the World. Simply explained but the story is so much deeper than that.

Graphics:

Now Visually this 4,5 year old game still looks up to par or even better than some other games released today which just shows how great this game visual really is. Character faces look life like and you can instantly understand their emotions without even hearing them, the trees look life like as the breeze gets stronger they lose their leaves, lighting is obviously godly, so you obviously understand how good The Witcher 3 looks.

Moody effects

Audio/Soundtrack:

The Voice acting is legendary as well, every character and voice actor just match with each other, they are easily understandable and the dialogues are just top tier, the soundtrack is as epic as it can possibly be with music matching the whole setting of that timeline, really take your time and appreciate this game from a visual and audio perspective.


On Low End Devices:

Intel Core i5 5200U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD 5500:
Not playable.

On Medium End Devices:
AMD FX 6300, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 760:
I was running the game on Medium / High settings with 45+ Fps on 1080p resolution.

On High End Devices:
Intel Core i7 4790k, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070:
I was running the game on Ultra settings with 60+Fps on 1080p resolution.

Bugs/ Glitches/ Crashes:

In around 60 to 70 hours of fighting against the wild hunt and searching for various items I experienced no bugs, glitches or game breaking crashes at all which shows great stability!


For 29,99 Eur. ( on sale for 9,99 Eur. ) I can only suggest to get this game as it checks every box on my list.


The Witcher 3 is a very recent game already becoming a legend with its amazing story, visuals and atmosphere that were ahead of their time and overall being great at everything.
