Wondering what it’s like to play as the White Wolf himself, Geralt of Rivia? Here’s a quick Witcher 3 gameplay review!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is finally here, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Developer CD Projekt RED was really ambitious with this one, giving Geralt of Rivia a larger world to roam, meaty scenarios to participate in, and a streamlined combat system that’s as fun as it is complex.

But first, some eye-popping introductory videos!

Did that whet your appetite for the Witcher 3 gameplay? Then read on!
