Unbelievable graphics, easy control, great story and lots of quest to build character. Lots of items to sell, create, and buy. Exploration one of its best features. You feel like a badass when playing this game.

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.

Have followed this series on PC since the first game and this entry improves in all areas. It's gorgeous despite the "downgrades" done to make it run on consoles.
The gameplay is fantastic. Every quest I've done so far has been interesting and further builds on the world your exploring. The combat is great and can be tailored to your play style.
If you got a rig to handle it play it on PC but reguardless it shouldn't be missed by any gamer.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This game has some of the best graphics I have ever seen on any game! Not only are the graphics great, the story and size of the world in The Witcher 3 is absolutely enormous. This game is well worth the money!!

As many know by now the graphical quality of this game is far below what was expected based on the 2013 and 2014 media releases for the PC version. That is not to say, however, that the graphics are bad. In fact they're comparably better than the graphics of a game like War Thunder when maxed out. The shortfalls come in with the vegetation which can look very flat compared to the rest of the environment.
On the flip side the story is very immersive. There are a very large number of non-storyline contracts and the world is very large. The difficulties also stay true to form in being challenging. I had previously completed Witcher 2 on dark mode but had serious trouble getting past the first monster battle on "blood and bone" difficulty.
As far as requirements go; I can run it with everything on high or ultra on my tri-sli gtx 470s and i7 4820k rig. I'm not getting 60 fps, closer to 40, but it is still very playable. The only real issue I had was with the nvidia drivers that were released on the 18th which caused driver failures in this game for me personally. Others had farther reaching issues with these drivers.
There are ways around it, especially if you only need those drivers for SLI to work.
Overall it is a fun game and very pretty to play as well. I would recommend it if you liked the first 2 games and would suggest you play the second before buying the third if you're not sure.

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.

The game is outstanding. And the graphics are excellent. the only problem is that I bought it for PC and the movement and combat are definitely designed for a game console controller.

I just started playing the game and I'm already blown away. The graphics are amazing and the story has got me hooked. I have to say it was worth the three year wait in my opinion.

Excellent combat and RPG elements make for a great game. Although the main story takes time to develop, the minor stories and side missions surprise with their depth and nuance.

Long time fan of TES here, played part 1 and 2 of the Witcher and found them passable, but part 3 has really stepped up the game. Very involved characters, voice acting is great, action is tense and the world is huge. I have been playing about 3-4 weeks now and barely scratched the surface. I like to just head out in a random direction and see where I can get to. I don't like there is no 1st person, but I think that is because of the players movements, not great for FP. Worth the full price for sure and if you get it on sale you are getting a great deal of content for a great price.

As an FYI, if you purchase the Boxed copy of the game you get a GOG key, and NOT a steam key. This may be obvious, but i think that steam may have become so ubiquitous that people expect it. That aside, the game itself is amazing.
My 780 can play it with everything on ultra. It's beautiful.
