10/10 - A True Masterpiece in all aspects!

The way some people will describe this game will sound like it's being overhyped most of the time, but if you decide to play it for a little bit you will see that it is not an overhyped game what so ever.
This game was the best game of the decade in pretty much everything.

Starting with the main part people come for, the story and lore with the RPG elements. It's the third and last game of The Witcher series and probably the best one. The game does a great job summarizing the 2 last games by giving you good non-story modifying options and a good in game wikipedia to search in.
Continuing with that, the story of this game isn't that linear, every choice you do or may do will have a consequence on the story and ending you will experience and the world itself will change with that choice. Without any details but one of the first missions you do once you get into Velen and Novigrad for example will decide the fate of many characters from the very beggining, but most impressive, having the character alive or dead means that villages and npcs may live or die because of the choice you made when you travell around the world.

Another really good aspect is the gameplay and the build choices you can do by choosing certain powers/ abilities or certain armors that will change the way you play with Geralt.

The music... oh boy the music. This is probably one of the best and most unique soundtracks you will ever listen to. Combining polish folk music with full orchestral music and choirs, this soundtrack will have everything you want for every situation you want, which in terms of gameplay, will entice you a lot and feel the in-game ambient way more than you expect, so DON'T PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT IT'S OWN MUSIC EVER!!!

If you want in the end just a game to have fun and put a lot of hours into it, this is it chief. With so many different outcomes for the main story and secundary stories that you will change in hour 1 and have the outcome on hour 50 you will certainly want to play this game way more than 2 times, believe it.

Another cool way to experience this game if you're tired of it but want to have another gameplay is to play it in polish like the author and the game developers would want you to try since it's the game's and book's original language, so give it a try.

To summarize, this is a game well worth it's full price which at the moment isn't that high, plus this game gets crazy discounts a lot of times during the year so if you want to buy it for cheap you don't have to wait that long.
If you like the game or want to get some more of The Witcher you can buy the other 2 games which too get crazy cheap with the sales or watch The Witcher Netflix series or read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski.
