![]() ![]() It’s not often that games manage to pay attention to every little detail like this, but it’s worth the work when the pay off is as big as it is here. There are many moments where you will finish a side quest and return to the area later, and learn that the choices you made had real consequences in the world. Each and every character you come across feels like a real person, and in my conversations with them, I found myself wholly invested in not only the outcomes of their quests, but what happens to them afterwards. The Witcher games were always heavy with lore, but it seems as if The Witcher 3 takes it to an entirely new level. Everything in the game is pretty to look at: animals, the little villages you come across, and above all else, the people, which speaking of, is what makes the game truly memorable. This doesn’t stop with just the environment, though. While there were some hiccups and bugs during my playing on the PS4, I can only imagine that on a higher end PC, the game would look even better. The game, as you might have noticed in screenshots or videos, is pretty great looking, and that doesn’t just go for still images the scenery and world of the game is gorgeous. ![]() This game can easily stretch on for hundreds of hours if you try to explore each and every inch that it has to offer. While some may see this as a bad thing, I see it as a game that packs a ton in for its price. ![]() There’s so much to see and interact with, you can easily lose yourself for hours just wandering around. I often found myself staring at the map and getting lost as to just what I was supposed to do. The game’s world, as you might have guessed, is massive. There’s so many things that make The Witcher 3 great, but I couldn’t start on any of them without the world. This is still a bit flawed at times, but doing this was smooth more often than not. You still have the ability to conjure spells in combat. Since you are a Witcher, you still have the ability to conjure certain spells in battle, ranging from a quick spark of flames to hurt your enemies, or a slow moving spell used to slow down tougher foes.Įnemies can get pretty tough, so you’d be wise to try and master everything in your arsenal if you want to make it through the game in one piece. Building on The Witcher 2‘s upgraded mechanics, the combat is still very much “attack, dodge, attack, rinse and repeat,” although this isn’t a terrible thing. Veterans of the Witcher games will notice that not much has changed in the way of fighting. Instead, they decided to give them complete makeovers. Many of the problems seen in the previous titles are nonexistent or have been fixed to a point where you wouldn’t even know they were a problem before. However, in The Witcher 3, it seems as if CD Projekt Red wasn’t okay with just polishing over their mistakes. CD Projekt Red changed things up in The Witcher 2, and the change could be noted immediately. ![]() The first Witcher struggled to find its footing at times, and sloppy gameplay hampered it from being the exceptional game it could’ve been. The previous two games, while also great, were not the gem that Wild Hunt is. He has to do this while the main villains of the game, a band of riders called The Wild Hunt, want to find her in order to harness her ability to teleport between worlds. The third in the series (duh), The Witcher 3, follows Geralt of Rivia as he tries to find his ward, Ciri. However, only a few hours into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I knew that this game was amazing and that it is already on the short list for best games of 2015. I definitely don’t consider games “Game of the Year” worthy after only playing them for a short time. I usually tend to reserve judgement for games after I’m a fairly decent way through them. ![]()
