The Witcher 3 is one of the most impressive games I've ever played, in terms of scope, story, visuals and content. The size of the open world in this game is simply mind blowing, and it's not just a bunch of emptiness and filler. Pretty much every square inch of the world is drenched in absurd detail, and it's so ridiculously good looking you almost can't believe it. So yeah, I was impressed. Beyond that, the story is a great conclusion to the previous two games (though the plot connections are more in the history of the world and the characters, rather than specific story lines, so it's probably OK for newcomers). The characters are written and voiced really well, as always. As for the gameplay, it's pretty good overall. Although the combat can get somewhat repetitive after a while, there are enough different types of scenarios to keep you on your toes, as far as changing up battle tactics and selecting different items and potions to use, etc. As for the story, the main quest is great, but there are also tons and tons of side quests, which make up the main meat of the game. Some of the side quests are very simple and short, but many are just as in-depth as the main story quests. There is very little pointless filler, aside from some collectible-oriented quests. The variety of quests is also excellent - there's a great balance of combat, exploration, and detective work. Oh, and on top of all this, there's also a full-fledged collectible card game you can play, which is really fun. The game does have a few downsides and annoyances that come up every once in a while, so it's not exactly perfect, but the negative points were inconsequential to me, when taken as part of the whole package.

I've put over 150 hours into this game (though that's playing with a 100% completion/exploration type of mindset, so your playtime may vary, depending on how deep down the rabbit hole you go), but either way, have no fear that there isn't enough content for the price. In summary, I can say with no reservations that this is one of the few $60 games I've ever played that is actually worth every single penny of the asking price, plus more. So if you enjoy action style RPGs, don't hesitate to pick this up. The only reason I would say not to buy it would be if your PC isn't able to run it well. This is a game that deserves to be seen in its full glory at maximum settings to truly appreciate what a work of art it is.
