The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ($59.99) presents a gorgeous open world that sucks you in with its incredible detail and lush colors, but Geralt of Rivia's latest adventure is more than just eye candy.

Massive open world; Lush scenery and noteworthy landscapes; Straightforward and fluid combat system

Buggy animation and collision detection; Frame rate decreases during complex multi-monster battles

One of my biggest mistakes is that I haven't still found the time to read Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher books because now I'd have a better knowledge of this rich and dark universe.

A vast improvement over The Witcher 2; captivating narrative and one kick-ass main character; a stunning and enormous world to explore; great quest structure; first-rate soundtrack what more do you need

Certain areas lack the visual splendor of outdoor areas; camera acts weird when combat starts in confined spaces like taverns

Immersive open world RPG that has stellar graphics; excellent voice acted characters; lots of action packed battles and mysteries to solve with Geralt's witcher skills

Heavy system requirements; long load times; small text

Frustrating and punishing combat; Frame rate optimisation is ongoing..

The Witcher 3 presents a realistic, engaging, and dark fantasy world. With fast-paced combat, deep character customisation, and massive locations to explore, it's a game not to be missed.

Engaging world; tons to do; great writing; interesting characters

Tiny text; occasionally annoying controls; infrequent bugs and glitches

Western RPGs, especially contemporary ones in the open-world style, are built on the supremacy of player choice. While developers will enforce a story in these games, the player typically gets to control almost every aspect of who the main character is.

Snowball fight

A character I liked showed up in the final showdown to immediately die

Geralt's latest adventure will probably go down as one of the most ambitious games ever released. For once, a developer hasn't sold us on lies. No, Wild Hunt is gargantuan, all-encompassing, and for t

Stunningly realised world; Terrific voice acting; Side-quests and Witcher contracts are brilliant

Annoying horse AI; Over-reliance on Witcher Sense; No expansions until October (I want more now!
