For a very long time I was thinking about writing a review on The Witcher 3 : Wild hunt...
I was always asking myself ; Am I good enough to write a review that this game truly deserves? So I never actually started to write the review.
But today I said ♥♥♥♥ it , lets get started... And this my review so here we go :
The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt continues the story of the legendary witcher Geralt of Rivia , The white wolf , this time in search of cirilla, the witcheress who is the daughter of emperor Emhyr var Emreis...
The ability to travel through time and space makes Ciri a dangerous weapon with the potential to destroy the whole world.
Geralt is informed by Yennefer of Vengerberg (Geralt's lover and a powerful sorceress) that Ciri is being chased by The Wild Hunt, a group of wraithes from another dimension, for not so good intentions.
So Geralt goes on a mission to find Ciri before The Wild Hunt does... A mission in which he will face a lot of obstacles, new faces and old friends...
The story starts off pretty good and continues to be great and interesting the whole 40+ hours of the main story.
Characters are very well worked on and you can't help but love 'em.
CDPR dedicated 2.5 years to voice recording so I don't need to say how great everything is audio wise, dialogues are amazing and the music is just incredible, sometimes you just want to waste time mid-combat just to listen to the epic music while it lasts.
Speaking of combat, the gameplay is nearly flawless, very smooth and pretty balanced, you have to actually use some strategy and put in some thought in combat instead of spamming light/heavy attack buttons.
The level design is good and pretty diverse, side quests in the game are by far some of the best in video game history, some side quests in this game especially the witcher contracts have stories that are superior to some of the "AAA" 60$ games out there...
Everytime I play this masterpiece I wonder how a game developer can make so many different side quests at such a high quality?
Now to the graphics; The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best looking games of all time, it provides some of the best views you can possibly find in a video game, therefore it's a paradise for screenshot enthusiasts.
If all that wasn't enough already, CDPR released 16 (yes 16) FREE DLCs and 2 expansion packs the are as good as the main game (if not better) for a very fair price.

All in all I consider The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt not only the best RPG game of all time but also the greatest game ever released and it'll probably keep the crown for a while.
