This game is truly a masterpiece and with the two expansions I believe it to be one of the best RPGs ever made; definitely in the top 3 of all time and probably takes the number one spot for me. The world is well crafted and quite large with tons of exploring and quality questing to be had, the engine runs well and the graphics are good while they are great in Blood & Wine as they got enhanced. The gameplay mechanics are much better than the Witcher 2 although it still can be a bit clunky at times, especially when riding roach. I think the slight wonk with the controls is my only complaint as everything else about this game is par-excellence. The combat is good and there is tons of loot and play styles so everyone should be at home with their RPG character focuses.

That being said, where the Witcher 3 truly shines is in the plot department. Every side quest feels meaningful and all the decisions you subtly make coalesce into a wide range of how the game plays, how the characters respond to you, and it has multiple endings as well. You truly feel like you are Geralt and your choices actually matter where in so many RPGs today you just get strung along a line of quests that don’t actually shape who you are and how the world and its characters react to you. The Witcher 3 does all this with absolutely top notch craftsmanship where there are very few comparisons, especially since this is an AAA title so they had the budget to really flesh out the game with a massive scope, excellent writing, and superb voice acting. This really is the total RPG package and I just can’t get across how good this game is in every respect. I never felt like I was just doing side missions for XP or loot as they are all written so well they all feel like the heart of the game itself. It is truly rare when a game like this comes a long and to have two such amazing expansions is just icing on the cake. In fact, Blood and Wine feels like an entire game on its own as you explore a new part of the world with a substantial plot while Heart Stone is set in the same part of the world you still get a masterfully crafted plot that the Witcher 3 is known for.

If you haven’t played this game you have done yourself a great disservice missing out on one of, if not the best, game of all time.

10/10
