This is inarguably the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME (Objectively).

Every single second of it's 100+ hours of Main game content is an absolute joy to experience.

-The voice acting is superb

-The Music is unforgettable

-The World is alive with some of the most beautiful landscapes in the entire gaming industry

-The characters are unforgettable, you will create relationships with them and grow to be influenced by their opinions and views, you actually care when a character is upset or gets hurt or even dies.

Every. Last. Quest. Is unique and has it's own story.

Dozens upon Dozens of Witcher contracts, each of them unique and handcrafted with love and passion by the amazing developers.

The immersiveness is unparalleled here, finding a notice board with a witcher contract, haggling with the customer for coin, canvasing nearby areas and questioning locals to gain information on the monster, collecting ingredients for potions, sword oils and bombs to give you an edge during the fight. The satisfaction of slaying a powerful and deadly beast with you silver blade and witcher signs, hanging it's head from your trophy hook on your horse and trotting back to the contract giver to collect your reward is incredibly satisfying.

The main story of this game is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. There is a frankly MASSIVE cast of characters spanning JUST the main storyline, all your favorites from previous games like Dandelion, Zoltan, Triss and the kaer morhen witchers, and NEW ones that you have never seen before in the previous two games, new fans of the series will be immersed in this world and will learn a ton about the lore through these characters, and old fans of the original witcher books such as myself will LOVE and CHERISH their time experiencing these characters for the first time in a video game.

The main storyline is STUFFED with mystery, intrigue and complex MEANINGFUL interlocking character arcs that YOU THE PLAYER can directly affect by your decisions. There are MANY BRANCHING PATHS in the main questline AND in nearly EVERY side quest in the game, this makes replayability INCREDIBLY HIGH, after completing the game for the first time you will IMMEDIATLY want to start over and try it a different way. EASILY 300+ hours of content to explore across two seperate playthroughs with different play styles, that isn't to say you won't want to play through this game AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN over the years.

The quality and value for your money here is UNDENIABLE.

This game is for ANYONE, even if you are NOT a fan of the series and you know nothing about it, this is actually THE BEST starting point for new fans.
There are comprehensive and detailed character bios within the game for every single character and beast that you encounter so you won't be too lost for too long if you have not read the books or played the previous two games.

The game also has many opportunities to speak to characters and learn more about them and the world they live in.
But the game doesn't SHOVE the lore down your throat, it's there if you want it, everything is contextual and fitting, there are no info dumps or tangents that seem out of place or unnecessary

The game is essentially a MASSIVE open world spread across multiple continents and provinces and each is split up with buffer travel zones (unfortunately this does mean the rare loading screen) HOWEVER once inside any of these HUGE areas there is NO loading WHATSOEVER. Entering buildings and traveling many miles across the land is seamless and uninterrupted. This is one fo the LARGEST open world games to DATE, just one province is bigger than other open world games like GTAV for example.

In addition to this... it is NOT empty at ALL

This world is absolutely DRENCHED in incredible detail, the water and lightning effects are top level quality, the textures and environments, the character models and the monster models are all immaculate and gorgeous. And there are hidden areas full of treasure to find, secret monsters to fight and weapon/armor diagrams to be collected to craft and upgrade NEW gear, your armor and BOTH steel AND silver swords, even your CROSSBOW witch is a NEW addition to the series!
There are even Witcher diagrams that can be found in ruins of old wtcher schools across the land or on the corpses of fallen witchers, these diagrams hold the secrets to crafting powerful WITCHER gear beyond that of normal armors and weapons!
And all of these armors and weapons have unique and BEAUTIFUL models
Easily one of THE BEST LOOKING GAMES EVER.

The monsters are based on polish lore and folktales, and there is always something new to discover, everything from undead mother eating fetus's and blood sucking vampires terrorizing towns and villages to werewolves and ancient forest guardians that hide amongst the tress, even LARGE flying beats like griffins and wyverns

As Geralt you will encounter many interesting characters with many different views and goals, like ancient and powerful witches that seek to feast on children and grip the land with spells and blood magic, or powerful lords, kings and emperors that seek to conquer the land through politics and war

As is to be expected when The Witcher is around there is PLENTY of sex in this game, wether it be the romantic kind that can be achieved by exploring the romance paths in the game OR from prostitutes in brothels, but ALL of it is done very maturely and professionaly.

Throughout this game you will also play as Geralts ward and adoptive daughter Cirilla, a brilliant and gorgeous warrior with incredible power and magic granted to her by her elder blood, a special power handed down through many generations.

This is actually what DRIVES the whole story, YOU as Geralt set out to FIND Cirilla and keep her safe from a band of wraiths from another world known as The Wild Hunt, who seek to capture cirilla and use her gift to save their dying world and conquer the one we know, bringing about the armageddon.

There are many emotional moments in this game as well as many laid back casual ones, the pacing is very natural and is set by the player based on their style of play. The side quests should not be skipped either, they feel IMPORTANT in many ways and offer unique and fun experiences outside of the main questline, there are ENTIRE areas and storylines you will completely MISS if you strictly play the main quest.

However monster hunting and world saving are not the ONLY activities in this game, GWENT is introduced in TW3 and it is easily one of my favorite mini games EVER. It is a simulated card game based around the characters in the lore, you will collect cards and build decks to play against characters throughout the game, even compete in TOURNAMENTS for coin.

The COMBAT in this game is satisfying and smooth, freeflow sword combat has never looked or felt so good, amazing well polished animations and special attack in combination with your witcher signs can open many styles of play and many ways to approach different enemies. Your playstyle will change DRASTICALLY depending on what you decide to spec your perk points into, you can go full on sword master slicing your enemies to pieces with your steel and silver blades, you can be a sorcerer opting to pour ability points into your witcher signs, melting your adversaries with igni or blowing them away with aard, OR you can focus on alchemy, enhancing your abilities with potions and slicking your blades with oil that you can brew with ingredients from the world around you, wether its a flower plucked from a garden or a heart ripped from a monsters chest.

ALL of this and MORE awaits you in this game, and I haven't even touched on the AMAZING DLC expansions.

This game is MORE than deserving of it's GOTY status. CDPR have sculpted an absolute timeless masterwork of a game.
Easily deserving of m absolute HIGHEST possible

10/10
Just Buy it.
