Imagine you're working in a 9-5 corporate job, you're done with your work, you come back home, log onto Steam, see your games list for 5 seconds, buy a game on sale that you're never going to play and then switch off your PC and go to a bar. While having a drink, you think of the good times when games used to be fun and authentic. But then you tell yourself, the problem isn't the games, its you. "Its not that games aren't fun anymore, you have gotten older". And then I play Witcher 3. And suddenly I can't wait to get myself home after work. Do you have any idea how precious that feeling is ? The feeling that you are actually immersed in the protagonist' shoes. I find myself in anticipation and excitement for the new adventures that are waiting for me, I think while driving back home...."Where is this story headed ? What new places and characters I will meet ?" And lets not talk about the characters. I thought myself as a guy who's dead on the inside and somehow these characters made me laugh, chuckle and empathise at the same time. I haven't felt these feelings for a game since 2008 when I played games such as Final Fantasy 12, Metal Gear Solid 3. Was I wrong to think that I was the problem and not the gaming industry that's shelling out mediocre AAA games with no memorable characters or storyline ? And I got this game for 3$. 3$ !! And that includes the DLC ! I honestly feel I looted these amazing devs. And I paid twice for games that are not even worth playing. 23 hours in and I still haven't scratched the surface of the story. The side quests are actually fun. I find myself doing the side quests more because its feels like I am watching another episode of the "Witcher 3 TV show". I love this open world, I actually take my time wandering around and exploring every nook and cranny. I haven't done this since GTA San Andreas. I look at some distant island or mountain that I find interesting and I decide to just walk there just for the fun of it. That's how beautiful this Open World this. This is Open World game done right. Thank you CD Projekt Red. You guys are a gem. I know its 5 years late and I don't know why it took me 5 years to play this, but better late than never.

As someone coming from The Elder Scrolls franchise, this game is something else. Don't let the stupidly tedious introduction make an impression - or the odd combat controls. You get a hang of it in like 2 hours. At first I hated Geralt because my girlfriend loves him so much. But now I love him as well. Also there's boobs.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 9/10 The Witcher 3 is a fantastic game set in a fascinating universe. It has amazing music and characters that support an interesting story with consequences for your actions. In my opinion the only downside is how repetitive most missions feel (Use witcher senses, track something, repeat) The expansion Blood and Wine improves upon this though. 1/15 STORY πŸ”² Bad Story πŸ”² Average πŸ”² Good πŸ”² Great βœ… FANTASTIC 2/15 GAMEPLAY πŸ”² Lifeless/static πŸ”² Poor πŸ”² Average βœ… Good πŸ”² Excellent 3/15 DIFFICULTY πŸ”² Playing asleep πŸ”² Some brain usage βœ… Easy to learn / Hard to master πŸ”² Difficult πŸ”² Dark Souls 4/15 GRIND πŸ”² Nothing to grind βœ… Isn't necessary to progress πŸ”² Average grind level πŸ”² A lot of grind πŸ”² Too much grind 5/15 GAME TIME / REPLAYABILITY πŸ”² Long enough for a cup of coffee πŸ”² Short πŸ”² Average βœ… Long πŸ”² To infinity and beyond 6/15 MULTIPLAYER βœ… No Multiplayer πŸ”² Trashy servers πŸ”² Some hiccups πŸ”² Smooth and pleasant experience πŸ”² Co-op πŸ”² PvP πŸ”² PvE 7/15 GRAPHICS πŸ”² Low πŸ”² Average πŸ”² Good βœ… Beautiful πŸ”² Reality 2.0 8/15 AUDIO πŸ”² Earrape πŸ”² Bad πŸ”² Not too bad πŸ”² Good βœ… Eargasm 9/15 AUDIENCE πŸ”² Kids βœ… Teens βœ… Adults πŸ”² Everyone 10/15 PC REQUIREMENTS πŸ”² Potato πŸ”² Decent βœ… Fast πŸ”² Rich boi πŸ”² NASA 11/15 PRICE πŸ”² It's free! πŸ”² Not recommended βœ… Wait for sale (goes on sale frequently) βœ… Worth the price πŸ”² Best investment ever done 12/15 FREQUENT UPDATES βœ… Life cycle completed πŸ”² Last year πŸ”² A few every year πŸ”² Once per month πŸ”² Every week 13/15 BUGS / CRASHES πŸ”² None that I can recount πŸ”² Minor bugs βœ… Infrequent crashes πŸ”² Frequent crashes πŸ”² Complete mess 14/15 MISC πŸ”² Steam Workshop βœ… Steam Trading Cards βœ… Steam Achievements βœ… Content for Steam Points Shop 15/15 VERDICT βœ… Recommended πŸ”² Not recommended

It's 2024, and The Witcher 3 remains the best game I've ever played. I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time. Writing this after just finishing Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut - the game is great: well-written story, enjoyable gameplay, and visually stunning, but it made me realize that in comparison, The Witcher 3 is still on another levelβ€”a masterpiece. I've played numerous RPGs, but few come close to The Witcher 3 in terms of the overall experience, including immersion, world-building, role-playing, player choices, blend of fantasy and realism, soundtrack, and replayability. The Next-Gen update has also made the game look absolutely stunning and not at all dated. The world, especially Toussaint, is incredibly beautiful. The combat may be the weakest part of the game and can feel slightly dated, but it's definitely playable and not as bad as some people say. My favorite aspect is preparing for combatβ€”knowing which potions or signs to use against specific types of enemies and situations. One aspect that sets The Witcher 3 apart from other games is the developers' attention to detail, which makes the world extremely immersive and story-rich. The variety in the side quests is remarkable in terms of storytelling, often blending elements encountered elsewhere. Many of these quests are even more entertaining than the main storyline. This attention extends to random world encounters; in most other games, it's simply about killing bandits or rescuing someone, but in The Witcher 3, you can become invested in random characters you meet on the road, sympathize with their stories, investigate, and make tough decisions that leave you pondering whether you made the right choice. I also appreciate that throughout the gameβ€”whether in main quests, side quests, or random encountersβ€”you have the freedom to make choices, although sometimes the wording can be misleading in certain quests. Almost every choice has impactful, sometimes far-reaching, and unexpected consequences, which enhances the world's immersion, realism, and complexity. You can play as you like, shaping Geralt as you imagine or want him to be. This freedom is something I enjoy more than RPGs where players have limited decision-making and must follow a predetermined path. If I were to rate some of the RPGs I've enjoyed (minimum 80 hours): The Witcher 3: 10/10 Elden Ring: 10/10 Skyrim: 9.5/10 Kingdom Come: Deliverance: 9/10 Cyberpunk: 8.5/10 Ghost of Tsushima: 8/10 Hogwarts Legacy: 8/10 Assassin's Creed Origins: 7.5/10 Assassin's Creed Odyssey: 7/10
