Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review and Gameplay
The epic conclusion to The Witcher trilogy
Stryfer's picture BY: Damjan Kapor


Verdict - 10...argh...9.5/10

I want to give Witcher 3 a 10. I really, really do, but I just can't. If I did, then I'd have to lower my standards for every other game and the developers will have won. Witcher 3 is an incredible game in every sense, except the dead weight and looting. Minor flaws aside, the graphics are top notch and well optimized on PC, the gameplay is fluid, the story is as engaging as it gets, the atmosphere is gritty and mature, it's all there. Definitely a title deserving of its high asking price of $60. In case you don't accept a .5 rating, then consider it a 10. CD Projekt have done it again!

Finally, let's see what the developers have to say about their game... Well, I'm sold.
