Sometimes the choice can be to spare a demon, or reform a thief, or help a warlord to reunite with his family. Choices in The Witcher 3 are usually not good and evil, but more about picking from different shades of grey - and the game has a knack for surprising you every step of the way. Different games handle this in different ways - Mass Effect games broke things down into binary good and evil choices, while Metro 2033 would give you a host of choices (most of which you'd be unaware of till you reach the end) with nearly random results. Part of the appeal lies in the way The Witcher 3 handles choice. Even though we've played it for over 200 hours now, we're still not done with this game.

It's as if the gritty, dark world of Game of Thrones met the open world sensibilities of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, matched with the abundance of choice from BioWare's Dragon Age series. Once you delve past the initial exposition of The Witcher 3 - which has you searching for your surrogate daughter, Ciri - you'll soon realise that developer CD Projekt RED has gifted you a gorgeous, sprawling world to explore.Īs we mentioned earlier, the world of The Witcher 3 is brilliantly realised. The Witcher 3 is a role-playing adventure game that puts you in the role of well, a witcher - a monster hunter - named Geralt.
