I haven't done a review of this game yet for some reason but I felt like doing one today. This game has basically changed my mind about the whole game industry and I can't thank CDPR enough for that. Of course they have been called out for making their employees work under sort of bad circumstances (Long working-hours and so on), which have affected my view of the company a bit. The thing is though that they are working to improve in this area which makes me sure of the fact that improvement is coming soon (Hopefully when Cyberpunk is done). Back to the review of the game, Witcher 3 is just pure awesomeness. Many have said it before, but this game is a masterpiece with so much going for it. The story is intriguing and exciting, with many awesome characters. I haven't played through the story but I'm far enough in to know that it's more amazing than any game I've ever played before. Geralt is voiced well and so are the rest of the characters. It is just so confusing to me how I can get this affected by a video game. One quest can make me think in so many different ways and the replay-value is there so often, that I sometimes reload old savepoints just to be able to play them in another way. The music, oh the music, it's just so relaxing and nerve wracking at the same time. The combat may not be the best I've ever experienced, but it feels polished and I like it a lot as well. My tip is though to download the "No fall damage mod", because (at least at the time of me installing the game) it is way too easy to die because of you falling just a small distance. That is in my opinion the only major flaw in the game.

Moreover, The card game Gwent, is one of the best minigames I've seen in a video game. I even bought real life Gwent-cards from a seller on Ebay, just because I enjoyed it that much. I recommend playing it, it's pretty addictive to be honest. There is just so much things to do in the game, and I plan to go to and investigate every question mark there is on the map. Even the smallest fight can make me excited to just grab the awesome loot that will follow. The side quests are better than many of other games' main quests, and they have changed my view of what side quests are and what I should expect in the future. Last but not least, CDPR makes me believe that there still are game developers who actually cares about their customer base. The fact that they believe that free DLC should be a norm, is just for that matter, amazing. The DLC's they have released is more than just DLC, Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone is basically two more games, which proves my point even more. So, CDPR, please, keep this kind of thinking and I will for sure support you in any way possible in the future.

Gwent was highly addictive! Aah, once you've played the Witcher, it leaves a mark that can never be erased.
