There's nothing I can say that the other 135000+ positive reviews haven't already. For me, this is the closest to a perfect video game that I have ever experienced - and possibly ever will. It is the only game I have ever played where I feel like I didn't pay enough.

What's so great about this game exactly?
You can tell that CD Projekt Red poured their heart and soul into this game, and that is unfortunately something that the video game industry has been lacking as of late. The world is intricately crafted and it feels alive. There are different biomes which genuinely feel like completely different places and regional accents to fit. The attention to detail is next to none.

The character development is unbelievable, never have I cared so much about what happens to a character in a video game than I have in this one. You almost become attached to certain characters and it's an odd feeling to say the least.

Assuming you're not rushing through the game going quest to quest, you can easily get 150-200 hours of enjoyment out of this game.
