Where to even start....to put it simply, this game is a masterpiece. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever made.
An absolutely MASSIVE open-world made up of 2 huge main areas and several smaller areas that give you a nice variety of scenery & cultures in each area. All of which are littered with TONS of activities and side quests that are just as well written as the main sotryline. The combat is deep, engaging and very well animated(great executions) and consists of ranged, melee and magic. All can be upgraded several levels which unlock new skills and abilites that give you a new effect or animation. There are hundreds of armor sets and weapons that are all highly detailed and a ton of fun to collect and upgrade.
The dialouge choices and consequences from your actions in this game are something truly special, the likes of which I have not seen in a game since the Mass Effect series. Almost every single quest in the game has unique different endings(as well as the game itself) and ALL conversations have several different dialouge branches that allow you to choose what type of Witcher you will be(good/bad).
And ontop of all that, the graphics are absolute top notch and are hard to rival on the PC if you have a higher end rig to run at max.
I did not have the chance to play the previous 2 Witcher games before Wild Hunt and it was still very easy to follow to storyline and catch up on the lore. Although if you have the time, I would imagine the characters and story will have even more meaning if you played through the first 2.

To sum it up, if you have ANY interest in RPGs or immersive beautiful fantasy worlds full of deep rich lore and great characters, this is a no brainer. 10/10
