A beautiful 3D fantasy RPGThe Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is an immersive role-playing video game wherein you must save the world against a monstrous threat. Developed by CD Projekt Red, this is the sequel to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and is the third and final installment in The Witcher video game series.The Witcher® 3: Wild Huntrole-playingThe Witcher 2: Assassins of KingsThe WitcherJust like its predecessors, The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt—or simply The Witcher® 3—has you donning the sturdy boots of legendary Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. This time, he has been hired to track down the missing Child of Prophecy—whom he had once trained and raised as his own.Geralt of RiviaIs Witcher 3 Wild Hunt worth playing?The Witcher is a series of fantasy action role-playing games that are based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski—acting as non-canonical sequels to the story of the books. The plot of the game franchise revolves around the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher with superhuman abilities. He is often embroiled in various dangerous missions and his actions and choices during his travels either directly or indirectly affect the fate of the world.The Witchernon-canonical sequelsdangerous missionsIn The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt’s story continues after the second game and his latest big contract involves finding Ciri—the so-called Child of Prophecy and living weapon who can either make or break the world. The job’s even more complicated for Geralt as Ciri is also his adopted daughter, whom he had raised for a good part of her childhood as a Witcher. With old allies such as Yennefer and Triss from the past games, Geralt must hurry to locate her before the sinister Wild Hunt do. Ciriadopted daughterold alliesThe gameplay here is just like the previous games, wherein you control Geralt in the third-person perspective. You can run, roll, dodge, jump, block, counter, and even ride your horse to combat different monsters’ fighting styles. There are two modes of melee attack: the fast but weak light attacks, and the slow but strong heavy attacks. Take note that your swords will require repairs after a while. Aside from physical damage, Geralt can also deal magical damage via spell signs.third-person perspectivelight attacksheavy attacksspell signsThe enemies you’ll encounter have advanced AI and you can learn more about them in the in-game bestiary. One of the most beloved features in the game is the open-world environment, where you’re mostly free to roam and encounter various side quests and treasure troves. Geralt's Witcher sense comes in handy here, as it can find objects of interest in the current area. Defeating monsters and completing quests reward you with experience points, which level up Geralt and give you ability points to spend on skill trees.advanced AI open-world environmentability pointsA little bit of polish goes a long wayAside from the gameplay and exploration, The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is well-known for its riveting narrative and in-depth interactivity with NPCs. You, as Geralt, can respond in different ways to other characters and events that you encounter—and this can affect a myriad of things as you play further. A side quest’s ending can unfold differently or the fate of a small town can change for the worse, depending on the choices you make. There are 36 different endings, which are simply variations of how each major quest closes.riveting narrativecan affect a myriad of things36 different endingsThe game became popular enough to spawn two expansion packs: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Both of them mostly add new story content, which is still on par with the main game in terms of great writing.
