The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: International reviews award top marks

All over the world, role players now go wild hunting for monsters as Geralt of Rivia - and some look astonishingly similar to people. But how good is the game really? The international press agrees: The Witcher scores in all areas:

• IGN praises the extensive world, which invites to explore and the ever new adventure hunt. That also makes up for the fact that the main story is less interesting and a bit too lengthy - even though the characters in it are all the more fascinating. Combat and role-playing systems from Witcher 3 are also excellent and make it one of the few really great role-playing games on the market.
• Gamespot sees Witcher 3 as essential and gives top marks to the graphically impressive fantasy universe, which is filled with meaningful decisions and serious consequences.
• Destructoid is one of the game's biggest critics, but still does it at a high level. What is particularly striking is that Witcher 3 is a good deal better than its predecessor, not least because it tells a more engaging and personal story. At the same time, you can immerse yourself in a gigantic, open world that stumbles from time to time, but can ultimately convince again and again. Conclusion: charming, but not perfect.
• Gameinformer is also enthusiastic about all aspects of The Witcher 3. The magazine praises the detailed monster designs, the powerful, always fitting sound and the entry hurdle that beginners can master, but which also offers many challenges for hardcore fans. Likewise, Witcher 3 praised the excellent story and the many serious decisions.
• Gametrailers is impressed by the enormous amount of content that remains even after 100 hours of play. The website sees "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" as a multi-layered and always highly impressive adventure with deep stories that know not only black or white. All of this and more makes Witcher 3 one of the best role-playing games of all time for gametrailers.

Critical but enthusiastic: What the German reviews say about "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"

Geralt is very well received not only internationally, but also in Germany and receives top marks. But there is also some criticism here.

• Buffed is enthusiastic about the story, the quests and the characters, which were written with great care and set the Witcher apart from other top role-playing games. The great atmosphere and the huge game world also easily compensate for the sometimes long loading times on the PS4 and the smaller bugs.
• GameStar criticizes various problems such as the cumbersome controls and the shaky balance. At the same time, the editors agree that The Witcher is a milestone in role-playing games. Here you write your own stories - regardless of whether in the main story or with the numerous equally well-staged side lines.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: That's what the CHIP editors say

• Of course we also looked at the witcher and are blown away by the lively game world with the wonderfully elaborated characters and the interesting tasks. And that applies to all the stories that you can deal with here for endless hours. Then the slight technical problems of the PS4 are negligible.
• In The Witcher 3 chip review you can read in detail what we liked and why we recommend role-playing.

With the release of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" more and more fans complain about lack of concentration and discomfort at work. Perhaps you should stay at home as a precaution - you can find an official Witcher sick leave for your boss in our download area.
