Witcher 3 for PS5
Upgraded to PS5 and this was one of the first games i bought. Was not disappointed. The improved graphics make it seem like a whole new game. Just remember if you purchase the disc, you'll also have to download the PS5 update from the Playstation store. You also get an extra armor set and other goodies as well, making this well worth the purchase!

Challenging, hand-wringing fun.
Great storyline--must have had the input of psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists. I bet papers have been written about this game.

One of the Best of the Generation
To call this game genre-defining would be an understatement. Combat design, world design, and quest-design from this generation of games all take notes from The Witcher 3. I would consider myself an avid Witcher fan, having played each of the previous games on PC. This game picks up without having to teach new players too much about the lore, but offers returning fans a way to move their own story forward into this world. Without spoiling anything story related, just be prepared for a epic tale that can be fairly complicated at times. There are many political factions and I honestly recommend having a printed map of the region next to you as geography is actually important. On the gameplay side, you have the option of swords, a crossbow, and your "signs" which are basically magic. These all flow together very nicely and feel similar to Shadow of Mordor. It is isn't quite as fast as that game or the Arkham series, it takes a more grounded approach, but it makes each encounter legitimately dangerous, especially on higher difficulties. This mechanics based combat, however, makes exploration a thrill as higher levels monsters can still be beaten early on with a little effort. The world is stunningly gorgeous and diverse. It seems almost unending. Your typical game session might have you following the main quest, then breaking off to a small village on top of a mountain. A side quest there sends you on a multipart adventure that feels almost more important than main quests in other games. After you've completed a few quests, you might take on hunting assignments to clear out monsters and along the way stumble into an underground fighting ring. The point is, you're never out of content to enjoy yourself with. If there are any negatives about the game, it is that the "feel" and movement of the game can take a while to get used to. It is heavier than other games and some even call it sluggish. The best comparison would be Mad Max or Dark Souls. Bottom line, the game is amazing and you'll be able to sink a hundred hours into the main game before even touching the expansions. These are full-fledged sequels of game branded as DLC. Both of the expansions build upon the lore, add new levels and gameplay mechanics as well as amazing new environments to explore. If you haven't already, pick up The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt as soon as you can
