My favourite game from my favourite developer. It's not a classical RPG. We, as a player, are forced to play as Geralt from Rivia rather than any Witcher we create ourselves. And that's not entirely a bad thing.

STORY:
Storywise this game is on another level. Pacing of main story is perfect. Never gets boring, always stores a surprise behind a corner. Each side-quest has its own story, even simple delivery quests, which makes it all the better.

EXPLORATION:
CDP introduced quick travel with this game and that was a must for such a vast world. The entire map spans over 2 huge and 2 medium-sized locations. 1st expansion enlarges one of those huge locations even more and another expansion add an entirely new place with size similar to those big boys. You won't get bored travelling through the world as Geralt. It's just not possible.

GAMEPLAY:
Fighting mechanics are easy. Problably too much. And that might be the only problem with this game. Everything else works perfectly, although some people may not like a rather oddly implemented skill tree system.

GRAPHICS:
Some textures might need some more work, but it's nothing a mod can't solve.

SUMMARY:
I bought this game twice. One Collector's Edition for GOG and this one - for Steam, and i probably buy another one for N Switch. It's perfect 10/10 from me, as i love to invest myself in deep stories of that world and its people.
