It is one of my favorite single player games of all time. Seriously a 10/10 for me. I will not post too much (hopefully) regarding this game b/c by now everyone has heard of it and either has already bought it or will not, but here are just my quick positives and some negatives.

Positives:
- Story: Absolutely the story of this is excellent. From the main quest, to the side quests, to even simple witcher contracts, and then two whole DLCs with their own unique stories. CDPR did a superb job with this story and I think most people will fall in love with it. A

- Worldbuilding: The world of Witcher is one of my favorite fantasy worlds I have seen in media. It is a more "realistic" fantasy world in the sense that the world is not as black and white as it should be. It is definitely a bit dreary in some parts, but the world is fantastic to explore. Both the main places and then having a whole new region in Blood and Wine DLC. A+

- Characters: I love nearly all of the characters in this game. I think again CDPR did great with their writing of most characters and it is great to see both the highs and lows. There are some characters who just do not have the same time in the game and some of them kind of falter, but that is a balancing act which I think can be near impossible to perfect. Geralt is such a fascinating main character, and mix that in with interesting friends and foes. A

- Combat: One of the biggest complaints I have seen of this game has been combat being just a simple "hack-n-slash" which I will say it can be, but depends entirely on your decision on what type of combat you want to do. If you want to spam Quen and left click then the combat can be extremely boring. I highly recommend actually diving into the arts and alchemy. Crossbow does suck tbh tho. B+

- Amount of Quests/Side Quests/Contracts: I could see this being a huge negative to some if they just have to do every single question mark on the screen and in their menu, but to me I did not do everything in this game. I did the side quests and contracts that interested me and loved almost all of them. So many great little side plots which can take a couple minutes to a couple hours. I will say, if you do feel overwhelmed, then just focus on the major side quests and story. I can easily see someone dropping the game after becoming overwhelmed. A

Negatives:
- Glitches: This game has glitches. A lot of them are actually sort of funny, but I had a couple issues where my game would freeze and I would need to backtrack from my last save or autosave. The game is definitely in a better state than 2015, and a lot of the glitches are fairly small like facial hair on NPCs coming in late, or an NPC walking into a cutscene.

- Tiny bit of the Story: Some story parts of the story are just a bit too dragged out. And one particular sidequest has a character acting so dumb out of no where it took me out of the story a bit. Again, I loved the story, but like all works of media there is some peaks and valleys in the plot.

As near as flawless a game can be, and if you love a more dark fantasy adventure, then Witcher 3 is perfect!
