If you played Witcher 2 and enjoyed it you will be blown away by the magnitude of the open world approach. I really like the quest design, music is fantastic and you can explore and completely lose time. Witcher 3 is a fantastic game and there will be addons! ADD ONs! They could've also charged for the small DLCs, but they didn't and i value this highly.

Combat is quite challenging and requires you to learn enemies and what their strengths are. Personally i play on 'hard' difficulty, so it's not too hardcore, but i can see the hardest diffculty is totally manageable. I also try to not get hit during combat and try to win encounters with getting hit as little as possible. You can set you own difficulty, not only in the options.


One negative thing about Witcher 3 is the super confusing inventory system. While it requires you to manage it more, which is a good thing, it is also nice to have more categories in the inventory so you can find things faster. It is a case of convenience,

Second negative thing is the skill system. It starts off very weak and you only see very small percentage values which doesn't look like much. I can see the skill system is good when you have a higher level and you can experiment a little bit.


CD Project left it's mark with this masterpiece, then you have no DRM, free dlcs and hopefully full blown addons in the 20-30 bucks range, that would be perfect.

Verdict: Witcher 3 is a fantastic game, if you like RPGs like Gothic, Skyrim and of course Witcher 2. It will blow you away and you will lose track of the time VERY easily. I catch myself just walking around looking at all the detail and listen to the music. It's a game you can sink into. Go get it and support this great Studio!
