TLDR: 10/10 from be but still has flaws and dropped plot points. BUY THIS GAME and good luck on the path Witcher.
I did not expect this turn around after playing the Witcher 1 or even 2 for that matter. 1 Was just bad and 2 was noticeably better but still just a ok game, only really good looking next to 1. This outing was so exceptionally well done that this game has sold over 50 million copies even though its a third installment in a series where next to none have played the predecessors. Geralt and his close companions finally feel fleshed out and the world building is as good as you can get in one game.
Spoilers:
There are of course downsides, no game is without flaw. there is quite a few dropped plot points like the last crone surviving, many of he lodge sorcerers being forgotten and being 11th hour characters, the wild hunt enemies not being fleshed out, a good but not edge of seat sitting level of story, For a a game being so perfectly written, it still has moments where characters lose iq like any other game, like my boy D turning on you and roach OPENLY WITH LIKE 2 HENCHMEN WITH HIM planning to rule Timeria for himself banking on the fact geralt will stay out of the conflict when geralt just showed he does pick sides lmao. This may be due to scrapped game concepts though which there was a lot if you look into it. Oh and you can kill Radovid (in a moment he also loses braincells but this can be easily explained due to madness) and no one in the world bats an eye.
While i listed a lot of world or story nitpicks... i didnt notice any of them during my actual gameplay due to how fun the game was, i did every sidequest and contract willingly. You only notice these minor issues in retrospective once someone points it out lol. Anyway im rambling, 10/10 will be getting Witcher 4.
