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!

The Witcher 3, hands down, are the best game I have ever played in my life for various reasons; first and foremost, the brilliant series of Novels this game was built upon, which gave the game the most powerful and dramatic story I've ever seen in a video game. The storytelling was consistent and amazing, with many different characters, amazing plot twists, and a vast world with different races, realms, and creatures that fight and thrive alongside one another and coexist in the most bloody and spiteful way. Secondly, the gameplay is Awesome and rich, and precisely implemented to exploit the witcher's abilities and test the players' approaches and playing styles. Thirdly, the choices and their consequences; this was a brilliant way of approaching the game by basically saying that there's no moral high ground here; you are a person who has traded. A traveler who was traveling along the journey and got to make choices that will benefit you or others the most and have to learn and live with your choices' consequences. I liked that way more than the ultimate good character or the justified villain, Aka the usual approach to videogame stories. Fourthly, the DLC's can easily be stand-alone games story-wise. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are too good to be complimentary; the story is marvelous and rich and tragic, which shows us how witcher's choices can come to haunt them. Finally, this game is a work of art, and every gamer shouldn't deprive him/herself of such a wonderful and rich experience.

I am not usually a fan of RPG's due to the sheer amount of time consumption involved in them, but in my opinion this one is worth it. The graphics are great, the story is compelling, and the most importantly it is a lot of fun to play. You can even change the settings to optimize the game for your style of play. I've been waiting for the complete edition of the game and I'm very glad that I did. I haven't even started on the two additional stories that came with the complete edition since it has been recommended to me to complete the base game first, and for that reason, I think this purchase is a phenomenal value. It's a quality game with a staggering amount of content. I very highly recommend this.

This is the full package. IT includes the main game as well as both expansion packs. It is one of the best, if not the best RPG of this generation. The graphics and scope is intense, and there is enough content to keep you occupied for over 100 hours. You do not need to play any prequels to understand the characters and stories. The game should be worth more than $60, but I am not complaining when it comes to a good deal. Must buy!

The Witcher 3 hands down has the best story I've ever played in an Open-World RPG. It looks fantastic, plays fantastic and has a whole lot of content. The Complete Edition also comes with all of the game's DLC which adds an additional 20-50 hours on top of the 50+ hours main game. An amazing package overall.

This game is so good! The story is involved, graphics are beautiful, missions are interesting. The only issue I have is changing directions or getting on the horse. Looks like the developers skimped on the coding for these things, which make it somewhat annoying to play, especially when everything else is so good!

This is a game for a very specific kind of gamer. They have to enjoy RPGs and single player story games. This game is great, has a good story, fun side quests, and the complete edition brings all the DLC making this package worth the price.

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said. The thought and care that was put into this game shows so well. One of the best stories every told in a video game, with gripping characters that you actually care about, beautiful environments populated with interesting people and events to go along. The music is a love letter to the fantasy genre that you can listen to endlessly. And more specific to this version of the game, you get excellent value with a 60+ hours of content for the original game, PLUS two meaty DLC's that perpetuate the legacy of this game even further. Any fan of RPG, casual or hardcore, must play this game.

There is a lot of content in this game. It took me about 70 hours to get through the main campaign while doing the occasional side quest. There is considerably more to do with the expansions. And that's not a bad thing. The story is great and engaging. The combat can be challenging at times but has a pretty good feel to it. The transitions from cutscene to gameplay are smooth. It's hard for me to sink 70 hours into a game these days but this one was worth it. Highly recommend if you like open world action RPGs.

I've read several reviews of this game but really didn't have any clue about it. Almost all the reviews have been stellar but what sold me on this was the Game of the Year selection from EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), which I've kept in mind for the past couple years. And of course the price of the game and the complete DLC sold me. I'm in the beginning stages but so far the storyline and graphics and gameplay have been superb and I expect greater things to come during more hours of play.

Good open world game, may get boring or drawn out initially if you take all side missions, but the main story line develops rather well. Don't give up on it early, stay with it and you will be rewarded with great gameplay. Overall, I think the game is very engaging with interesting characters, highly detailed open world, and a great storyline. Right up there with dark souls 3 and bloodborne

Fantastic game with excellent visuals. The complete edition has all the DLC! I found the gameplay and story writing superb. I recommend this game to a mature audience. This is the copy to get over the base game for sure. So nice of CD Project Red to through in a map of the in game world. Not many games come with manuals or literature anymore. I love this game as I put in over 80 hours and still have so many quests to do.

Fantastic RPG Game and worth the money. Sure it’s older now. Yet you’ll be hard pressed to find a better written script and interactive play in any game released in the last 5 years. Graphically astounding, well thought out beginning to end and excellent add on DLC make this a must have in every gamers library.

I've somehow gone without playing any of the witcher games, boy what a mistake. I enjoy storyline, solid gameplay, open world and character development flexibility, and this game hits them all at a high point.
don't miss this. You don't need to play the first two, though there are some plot lines that I don't fully understand b/c i missed the first two games.
