Now, I started with that praise just to make it clear how much I both loved playing through the game, and massively respect the achievement of it. It's CD Projekt's masterpiece the Witcher experience they've been working towards since getting the license all those years ago.Īnd now it's been out for a while, let's look at some of the more spoilery bits. More though, I'm thinking of the details the smaller stuff, like how the scripting system is advanced enough to stop a fight after a specific comment of 'Wait, you're Geralt?!' or the exquisite attention to detail on even the smallest of quests. I'm of course talking of the big stuff, like its sweeping plot and open world. With The Witcher III: Wild Hunt though, the scale of CD Projekt's accomplishment still hasn't fully sunk in, and probably won't until the next big RPG that doesn't live up to the many, many amazing bits of design that game offers. It's a game I enjoyed, but it's also one I've not really thought about since its credits rolled.

I'd say Dragon Age: Inquisition is a good example there. You play them and they seem great, but once the novelty has faded, so has part of their soul. Many games suffer from a little bit of distance.
