If you have the machine that can run this on HIGH settings, you will find a deep an engrossing story. I have only begun to play and the beginning narrative, complex game play, open world, and amazing quests have locked me in and locked out the rest of the world until this bad boy is complete. Come enjoy the best of the series and the one that finally got the Witcher series "right".

I have been playing video games since the 1990s, and I can honestly say, this is the best video game I have ever played. Everything about this game is great, story, characters, graphics, game play, the developer (CD Projekt Red) attitude toward customers... I cannot recommend this game enough.

A Truly Amazing Gem, Like A Fantasy Red Dead

I had never played the Witcher games before since they always seemed...weird to me. When Witcher 3 was announced and I started seeing the media for it, though, I was totally impressed and went out to preorder it immediately. With a GoG code being included, the game being DRM-free, and with all the normal DLC being totally free (and a ton of it!), it had me very excited!
Then the game was released, and I went to pick up my copy. I installed it, started the game, and...I was totally floored! I was looking at a game that I just knew would end up being one of my favorites. The graphics were amazing, the story and sound design were incredible....it was just all around a very polished title. It made me wonder why I never played a Witcher game before.
Best of all, this game made me think of a fantasy Red Dead Redemption, my absolute favorite game from the previous generation of consoles. At a minimum, this game will more than substitute my itch until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out. Buy this game! You'll definitely enjoy it.

This game is great! The graphics are incredible (and I'm running most on medium settings) but the quests are the best. Not generic fetch quests but really story driven. A few glitches here and there but nothing game breaking. If your PC can run it, you won't be sorry.

Perhaps one of the best games I have ever played. Beautiful graphics, great stories, good voice acting, and great non standard questing gave me over 100 hours on my first playthrough. Now to start a new game + before the first expansion next month.

Each game CD Projekt Red makes gets better. They learn from their mistakes and carry over what they do so well. If Skyrim impressed you, this is its superior in almost every way (except if you like to hoard items).
Breathtakingly beautiful vistas, probably the best human animations I've seen in a game and the balance between sandbox and story is perfect. Go treasure hunt, take contracts, build up your skills and arsenal while the man story has many forks in the road leaving to different endings. Combat is much improved over the previous Witchers, and fights can be difficult without being so hard you spend 2 hours replaying the same battle.
This game is for adults - no doubt. Definitely think twice and look at gameplay before buying this game for anyone 16 or under.

I loved the first Witcher, and Witcher 2 wasn't bad either. Somehow Witcher 3 was even better then both! Great open-world, awesome sidequests, and it just plays better too.

Best game available for PC currently. Graphics are very impressive. Lots of stunning visual scenes to illustrate the in depth narrative. Game play is very detailed and immersive. Incredible amount of side quests and freedom to roam however you wish. Been playing for a while now and haven't made a dent. Completely recommend to anyone who likes and epic RPG.

I bought it for the PC to fully experiences the Mods and Graphics. Either through Keyboard and mouse or any controllers via usb through the pc. The game is one of the most highly anticipated games of 2015 and is widely a large open world game play. It feeds my gamer fuels to adventure and experience the witcher story. couldn't wait any longer for a price drop, so i decided to save 6 bucks by price matching though tigerdirect.com not soo happy about it but its better than full retail price.

well it's before E3 and I feared it was going to be up to exclusives to carry the torch. But this game has nailed a fantasy worth venturing through with the story, visuals, and exploration that just add on to the lore of the last 2 games with a story on its own.
Get the PC version, especially with HBM video cards on the horizon, this game will simply age better with time once 4K becomes more attainable. Works well with AMD cards too with a few easy tweaks

Day/night timelines, intense battle action and all customizable for your style of game play. This game has lasted over a month with multiple hours per day. The quests get more intense, but there is a feature that lets you know the recommended level for completion. Suggestion, keep your low level monster eyes, brains etc. You'll need them for your higher level mods.

This is the best game in the series! The story-line is phenomenal, even on the side quests. The gameplay is fun and addicting. Highly recommended. Also, free downloadable content is offered regularly from GOG, like new quests and armor. The game comes with an actual instruction manual with character descriptions, which is rare these days.

You control Geralt in his journey as a witcher throughout the game. In this entry he searches for his long lost love, Yennefer, and his adopted daughter, Ciri. The game has dozens of hours of gameplay. Just a standard playthrough ignoring side quest will take around fifty hours. 200 hours would not be enough time to finish all the quests in the game which just shows the scope of CD Projekt Red's game design.
All of the quests are fully voice-worked and actually make you care for the characters involved, no matter how minor they may seem to be. The world of the witcher is a dark and mature one, but that is part of it's appeal. The world feels real and the game does a good job of showing how your actions affects it. The Witcher 3 is a RPG that defines newly defines the genre.

Probably the best game I've played to date. So much effort put into not just the graphics and gameplay, but also the story line and character development.
