“The Witcher” is among the more popular gaming franchises, and it’s a beloved series for many gamers. Its third installment was hyped a lot, and many people were discussing it for many months before it actually arrived to the market – and it’s no surprise that its release was met with widespread approval and good critical reception. Now that players have had a chance to play with it for a while, opinions have been pouring in more actively, and players are pretty much confirming what was originally said about the game.
Its main selling point is the sheer scale which it brings to the table – few titles get even close to what “The Witcher 3” offers in terms of world size and opportunities to explore, and it’s one of the games that can give its players tons of things to do as long as they have the time for that. It’s not just about having locations to visit – there are lots of missions to complete, some of which are totally optional and players are given the freedom to choose their own path.
Some reviewers have been comparing the game to “a mountain to climb”, and some of those who have been expressing a lot of positivity for the title have also claimed that they couldn’t actually complete it to the end. These sentiments about its scale didn’t really die down after players got comfortable with the game – if anything, gamers realized that their initial impressions were true and “The Witcher 3” truly is as big as it seems.
Another positive point that’s been mentioned by some is the fact that the game manages to mix chaos and order on such a good level, and it creates the overall feeling of a world that’s as close to a real one as we can get. Even though it’s a fantasy game, it still manages to offer a very immersive environment in which a player can just get lost for hours.
One thing that some reviewers have been curious about is the completion rate of the game. Some seem convinced that the numbers aren’t going to be very positive in this regard, and there is some suspicion going around that the game doesn’t get completed all that often. Indeed, many players have been talking about how they’ve given up before reaching the end, while others have found themselves rushing through the game’s final quests and skipping much of its optional content just so they could get to the end faster and get it over with.
