The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, open world adventure set in a dark fantasy universe. You are Geralt of Rivia, mercenary monster slayer. At your disposal is every tool of the trade: razor-sharp swords, lethal mixtures, stealthy crossbows, and powerful combat magic. Before you stands a war-torn, monster-infested continent you can explore at will. Your current contract? Tracking down the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world. The Complete Edition contains every piece of downloadable content released for the game, including two massive story expansions: Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine. It's the perfect opportunity to enter this world for the first time or relive the adventure – on the go!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt concludes the story of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, the series' protagonist, whose story to date has been covered in the previous installments. Geralt's new mission comes in dark times as the mysterious and otherworldly army known as the Wild Hunt invades the Northern Kingdoms, leaving only blood soaked earth and fiery ruin in its wake; and it seems the Witcher is the key to stopping their cataclysmic rampage.

Overall Experience: 10/10
Visuals, although now did age, have a style to them that is just pleasant to look at; the setting is varied and exciting to explore, filled with a huge cast of characters that feel real and naturally belong to this world.
Enemy variety is extensive, and gameplay requires you to learn their weaknesses by studying them in combat at first and later reading their lore in the bestiary, making the gameplay, although with some jank to it, quite enjoyable.
Side quests, especially witcher hunts, are probably some of the most well-written missions I have played in video games. The main narrative is enticing, but at times the main events miss the landing, but considering it's an RPG with a large amount of outcomes, I never felt like it was a chore experiencing it more than a few times.
Gwent deserves an honorable mention. I skipped it completely on my first playthrough, a huge mistake; it's pretty well put together and addicting.
Geralt is easily one of my favorites from the get-go, charming, sarcastic, and, if you so choose, with a heart of gold.
The soundtrack is also iconic and enhances the experience greatly.
Easily a must-play; wish I could experience it again for the first time.

Look, this game is overhyped. Sorry but it is. I just could NOT get into this game. I tried as hard as I could but it just didn't happen. Visually it is very impressive even for today's standard. The sound design is good & the world itself is everything that I love in a game. That's about all the good there is for me.
The gameplay is clunky, the story is boring, & the characters are unbelievably dull. I know this is a hot take but listen dude, it's my opinion. I'm not sure if I will revisit this one in the future or not but for now, no way. Also, there comes a point where there is TOO much content in a game. I didn't come to work a full time fucking job man. There are so many side quests & what not that I would be giving a RIDICULOUS amount of time up in my life to complete & when I leave this planet The Witcher will be the last thing on my mind. So in other words, there are better things to do.
Final verdict: Don't touch it
