One of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. This is what you can call a masterpiece.


Story

Story in this game has incredible amount of depth and it also branches out with the decisions you make. Most of the time I found myself actually listening everyone and paying attention to every little detail because every speech, every writing and every small thing can give useful information about the game, about what happened in the past. In every corner of the map, you always find something intresting. Even the side quests are fun and interesting. I didn't even do a main quest until I was like 15-20 hours in the game.

If you enjoy games that tell you a huge story and don't get bored by listening and reading, you will absolutely love this game.

Graphics

I mean I don't even know how to describe the graphics. The atmosphere is so good that after half an hour you will become the character itself and you will lose yourself in the environment. It is just amazing. I once thought why I paid so much for my pc, after playing this, I never asked that question again. If you care a lot about the graphics, you will absolutely love this game.

Gameplay

It is an rpg game in which you mostly use your sword and magic. You have 2 swords for people and monsters and your character can use magic which let you burn your enemies, send a shockwave, create a barrier that blocks enemy attacks, confuse your enemies and set a trap that slows you enemies if they walk in it. Sword fighting can also be improved with levels, letting you deal more damage. There is a crossbow which you can use to deal damage from far and bombs that you can throw which have varying special effects. Like these are not enough, you have potions which have a huge effect on your character. Combining all these, you have a huge chance of creating your own play style. Also all these abilities can be improved with levels and mutagens that you collect from monsters.

Game is fluent and sharp, your every click results with an immediate action. I didn't feel a lag or problem with controls.

Fighting in this game is so well designed that it literally feels like you are swinging the sword. Rolling, running, swinging, blocking, it all feels sharp and good. You even dismember your enemies with your swing, game literally cuts the enemies with the move of your sword so it doesn't just show blood on an enemy just to show a hit. You see and feel your hits. To achieve this, they made the hit register great, I never said "I saw that I hit but in game my attack didn't connect", whatever you do and see happens.

Running, swimming, walking, climbing and riding a horse is also really smooth. You can run and travel every place in the map without a problem.

Map

I felt like I had to add a map part because no matter where you go, you will always find something. I usually don't even bother running around in open world games because it's usually just empty space but in witcher 3, you will find new quests, new items, hidden places, creatures etc. which make you play the game hours after hours. You even find many things under water in random places. Also reading and listening people gives you hints about new locations, for example someone might dropped his belongings while traveling with a boat and if you hear or read it, you can go there and grab it.

Character Development

In this game, you make the choices. This game doesn't have 1 ending or 2, it has huge amount of endings. you create your own future in the game, you chance what happens. You even have the power to change entire villages fate with your decisions. You can try to be good or bad but you will actually always be gray in this game because almost everything you do will have consequences. Most amazing part is that if you pay attention you will see the world change.

Soundtrack

If you are like me and care about the soundtrack, believe me you will enjoy witcher 3. After many months, I still listen to the soundtrack and get goose bumps. Brilliant.

Summation

I honestly think that this game must be bought by everyone who enjoys games. It has a great story, great gameplay and it even has a card game in it which is called "gwent" and I can honestly say that gwent is better than most of the games I played which is insane. I found myself playing gwent in every village I go and collected every card possible. If I had the chance to forget a game completely to play it again like it's my first time, it would definitely be witcher 3.

10/10 without any doubt. It was wonderful and I can't recommend it enough.
