The Witcher: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open world RPG set in a visually stunning fantasy universe full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. I honestly didn't really like it.I'd give it a solid 6.4/10, at best.GENRE: Open World, RPG, Mature, Adventure, Nudity, Action The inventory was terrible, the controls were clunky, the menus were god-awful (the game shipped with menu issues that both previous titles also shipped with, how do you do that? How do you accidentally design a terrible inventory for notes and memos three games in a row and forget to fix it before launch each time?). The loot system in general was pretty bad. Finding things in the wild is always worse than crafting them, so there's not much incentive to explore there, as everything you get from running around will be absolutely worse than what you've got on you anyway.
The crafting is pretty boring and the actual progression of equipment is awful, there's very little equipment to begin with and it has a few tiers of upgrades and you're done. The sidequests get a bunch of applause for having dialogue and neat stories, but they're not really that diverse in terms of gameplay, and they re-use NPCs like crazy (to the point where the first few I did, I thought they were related, as the exact same woman with the exact same voice was in all of them- even bethesda uses different faces). There's no event flags to tell the game "Okay, the player already heard this, stop it, you're breaking immersion like fucking crazy". Did you know Chetty is that one kid's best mate? Did you know his dad doesn't want them hanging out anymore? That's odd, because they don't shut up about it. kakariko Village in Zelda on the SNES is more explorable and deep and interesting than the villages in The Witcher 3, and yes, I'm including the big cities! There's nothing in them!Īll the NPCs are nameless and shout the same things over and over. All the villages are just setpieces, you don't really explore them or find anything in them but little item nodes (which geralt promptly steps right on top of, but cannot access because the actual prompt for the button is off-screen, meaning the node doesn't exist to be interacted with anymore.and then as you turn around to get it in a better position, geralt has to walk in a massive circle around an invisible redwood tree to reposition himself). The world is vast and pretty but there's really nothing happening in it or anything to actually do besides follow nodes on the map a la Far Cry. The game plays more like an action game than anything. The combat mechanics are clunky and the actual scope of combat is a bit small. You essentially only get to choose whether or not to sleep with tons of women while having a committed relationship from the get go, and you make those choices while playing as the biggest Mary Sue I've ever seen in a game. You don't make any meaningful choices, which is bizarre for an RPG with dialogue options everywhere. Is it just me, or was The Witcher 3 really not that great of an RPG in.any.regards? I mean, whatever, the story, everyone loves the story.
