Just the sound design and soundtrack alone are magnificent enough to make me want to play again, just watching this video reminded me about just how good the music in this game is.

Anytime i see a beautiful sunset, I always think of the Witcher 3. The game always had a beautiful setting and colors.

For some reason, I will never forgot the feeling I had when I first arrived in Novigrad. After spending so much time in boggy, poverty-ridden Velen, Novigrad felt so entirely different in the best way possible. Still probably my favorite city in any video game to this day.

There’s nothing quite like riding through war-torn Velen with that gorgeous sorrowful music accompanying you along. Or when you first wake up on the coast of Ard Skellig and you’re immediately blown away by “The Fields of Ard Skellig”. The music in this game is like an Ennio Morricone score. You simply cannot play it without that music, it’s so engrained in the experience.

This game is timeless. I play it every single year since 2015

I still remember this game was build with passion, with people that truly know and loved their craft as much as we, players love to play this game again. This is a masterpiece of its own.

It's my #1 favorite game of all time. A masterpiece. The attention to detail is what really does it for me.

The soundtrack and quests in The Witcher III are top tier. In fact, the soundtrack in particular is possibly one of the best soundtracks in any game ever. The "yell" when u complete a quest, the random music playing in pubs and town centers, the battle music that kicks up when approaching a monster, the calming ambience when exploring with roach. This games music and narrative are incredible.

I played it for the first time during covid, it was a MASSIVE help to keep me sane while stuck inside. Being able to delve into a massive fictional universe was extremely interesting, and seeing this whole other side of fantasy I hadn’t experienced before was truly magical. Since then I’ve become a huge fan of the games, done several in depth prop builds inspired by them, listen to the score daily, and have bought and customized several figures that I admittedly play with often, lol. I am very happy to have had the experience of playing Witcher 3, and I would love to return to it a few years down the line once it leaves my memory a bit more. (I will say though, I am not a fan of the tendentious of gave me in my thumbs, I still struggle with it a whole year later hahaha. Stay safe, friends!)

I'm a getting bored very quickly kind of people, and yes i get bore with this game when i've been playing it like 50-70 hours, but the thing that make it special is all i need to do is give it a break for 1-2 days and when i come back it still as fun as i remember, and that's one of a kind to me.

This game changed my life. It was one of those few games that reminded me why I fell in love with gaming as a kid. I still listen to the soundtrack, and every opportunity I get I tell others to give it a try. I would start playing at 8 when I woke up and before I knew it the day was gone and the controller was still in my hands. I wanna go back and play it but I'm waiting for the PS5 upgrade. This is one of the greatest games of all time!

I have actually started playing all the games saga in January, finished TW3 in May and I haven't been able to recover since. I never expected it to have such an impact, I felt like losing a friend, depressed and elated at the same time. My one regret is that I will never be able to experience it again for the first time.

Luke, your Witcher 3 critique made me play the game, so glad I did. Nowadays it’s my favourite game. Played the game and it’s DLC’s and it’s truly something special. Really fun to see you revisit this masterpiece. Loved the video.

Still my favorite game of all time, its just so damn good and the replayability is off the charts, especially with all the great mods out there

100% agree with you about deathmarch difficulty, You really get to feel the full game.

The Witcher is one of the the best immersive worlds in the industry. The main characters, side characters and even general npc's tell a story of how unforgiving life is with all the politics, wars, and monsters coming from all sides and perspectives.

Surprised you didn't wait for the release of New-Gen version with ray-tracing. This is probably my favorite game of all time. The story, characters, and world are all so wonderfully done. I hope CDPR can get back to this type of high mark.

Funnily enough I've been replaying and your older Witcher 3 videos have been superb company these last weeks. Great to watch your developed thoughts on this mammoth of a game. All the best mate

This game has a insanely good story and art direction. Almost every side quest is like a episode in a HBO show. No medieval city in a game is as well done and immersive as novigrad, no other rpg has so many beautiful and practical swords and armor. I just wish the gameplay was a bit more fluid.

Played it for the first time about a year ago. And it was a FANTASTIC game. I have never played a game that felt so alive. There's hours and hours of stories, quests and small details in every corner of the huge, huge world. Even the enemies have depth and complexities. Best game I ever played.

From the moment I picked up the controller and started playing The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, I've been deeply invested in its world and lore. I have a tradition of playing this game through once if not twice a year. I always learn new things, new ways to fight different enemies and monsters, make new discoveries and find new easter eggs. I always try to introduce new challenges for myself. Most recently I obtained my platinum trophy and 100% completion for the main game and both DLCs. Next time I'm doing a fresh start on death narch difficulty with enemy upscaling and see if I'm really as good as I belive myself to be. This game never gets old for me and it's one of the best things in my life, outside of my wife and dog of course.

I just discovered this game THIS year and I'm on my second playthrough. I will absolutely play this game for YEARS.

For me it's the way the dialogue scenes are directed that I genuinely think is unrivalled in games. The camera angles and panning shots the game never had to give you but immerse you so much into whatever's happening at the time

This is simply an all time masterpiece! One of my best game experiences ever!

Played it in January for the first time and instantly fell in love with it, but I've rushed the game too much and only got to play about 80 hours. Right now I'm finishing college and having exams, but I cannot wait to finish them and sink into the Witcher again, this time for a lot longer. This game has been on my mind every single day since January and I cannot wait to play it again.

This and Elden ring are my two favorite open world rpg's and the funny thing they are both different in how they structure their stories, Elden Ring is through Lore and reading what the characters say and monuments while The Witcher most of the story is through Dialouge, Geralt saying two different things will drastically change the story while in elden ring doing something else will change the story, two very fundamanetally different games but both touch me really well

The music in this game is absolutely outstanding, it’s genuinely so distinct and iconic, like when you hear it you can instantly associate with the world of the witcher, a perfect soundtrack.

Watching the opening scene as I was standing in the check out line in Gamestop this series turned from not on my radar to a must buy. The cinematic and the music really captivated me and I've been in love with the game ever since. Great story, God tier soundtrack and my love for the game eventually transitioned to the books and TV show( iffy quality aside).

One of the greatest games ever made. Sure it definitely has its flaws, but this game is unmatched. 😌

This is so funny I just started playing the game so this is great to hear a review from you

I’d love to see you go through these games again! The Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time and your critique is how I found your channel, been watching your videos ever since

This game is a masterpiece. Just the music gives me goosebumps all over my body. This is insane.

Love that spooky music that plays when you're roaming around at night. I still need to beat this game and I'm with you I never liked the combat that much. I think now is a good time to give it a full playthrough.

Fun timing, as I just started playing Witcher 3 about a week ago. Been loving it

Been chasing that platinum recently, played this game so much and as it is one of my favourite games of all time, I felt compelled to get every trophy. Still to this day, with a fresh play through, this game is special, I love it. Just need to finish off the blood and wine trophies now, I love it so much. I hope CDPR can rediscover this magic. 🙏

I played this for the 1st time a few months ago. And played it on Death March. I died to alot of monsters and enemies and loved every second of it. I loved having to plan for battles using potions and signs. It made the combat feel in depth. I gave this game a 9.5 out of 10. Chefs kiss man. So good.

I played through this game years ago on the middle difficulty. Came back after I played through all the Dark Souls games and had to put it on the highest difficulty. Definitely made it more enjoyable.

The one think that impresses me the most is how well they mix fantasy and realism. Like how they can mix realistic medieval things like peasants having quaint hay huts and vegetable and also griffins that will steal livestock and people. Idk I just love how they make it feel as though it could have happened in our world

started playing this for the first time, and im absolutely loving it. im definitely getting my hands on the book series next. great video! i really enjoyed hearing your commentary and perspective with this game.

I just finished my first playthrough and seriously fell in love! Excited to watch this, right on cue

I always hate when people say the combat in this game is bad as it’s actually super tight and feels good. The attacks take the perfect amount of time, all of them are varied and the magic abilities add plenty of room to experiment and kill your enemies faster and cooler. As well as exploration often adding to the combat by looking for plants and stuff to turn into oils and potions and stuff, that’s the crazy fun gameplay loop that kept me interested in this game.

This game is just so perfect in any way. Always wanted to wipe my memory so I can experience this masterpiece for the first time again.

As a recent sub, I'd find it quite fun to see what it'd be like to see previously reviewed games with today's experience. Kinda why I'm already enjoying these revisits you're already doing on older games. 🤙

please go through these games again. I would love another Witcher critique, videos like these inspire me to pick the game back up. you did it for me with Days Gone and now I'm playing it again 😅

I just replayed Witcher 3 again 2 months ago and I agree it’s still so beautiful of a game and one if not my favorite game of all time

The greatest game ever made.

That huge Witcher 3 Critique was one of the first of yours I had watched and I think it was the one that got me to sub.

Found you through the Witcher, so good to see both Witcher and Luke are still great

Tried to get into this game for literally years and never could. Finally forced myself to beat it like 6 months ago and it was fantastic

I kinda envy these people that got into this game, I tried a few times to get into it but It just never hooked me. Finished the bloody baron mission and decided it wasn't for me.

Hey Luke, great vid! I’d love to see a critique 2.0 on this game ! Also can’t wait for your Elden ring critique

I remember the first time i played the game, it just TELEPORTED me in it. I've never been more immersed in any video game. I have countless memories on it, and now that i started the other 2 games i can't wait for the re release to come out, finish the prequels and do it again. Everything in this game is perfect, the world, the story, the characters, the graphics, the monsters, the MUSIC ooh the music. I would never tell someone not to try it. At the very least you don't enjoy one aspect but like some others, or you just fall completely in love with it.

I always have to limit myself on this game. Its so good, and even though i've played through so many times I can't help but get swept up in it, and lost to it for like 2 weeks. lol I Love this game.

The blood and wine dlc was absolutely gorgeous with its colours and setting

Thank you for making this video, Luke. This is my favourite game ever and in a relatively short time you managed to showcase some of the reasons why. I love the world, the characters, the dialogue, the gameplay and the rpg elements. There are tweaks to be made, for sure, and hopefully a next gen version will eventually appear, but this is a 10/10 video game and everything that we want from the industry. I would love if you made a brand new critique, including DLCs, with your new production values, editing process and fresh thoughts on it. And it should definitely be a front runner in your “streaming game” for Twitch. So many things to discuss about it and new topics emerge constantly throughout the 100 hour runs. I’m glad you still love it. We do too.

Dude do it! Go through this game and it's expansions. I'll be more than happy to see it.

Literally started another play though of this came a few weekends ago. Never played the DLC so am going through now with that. Just finished the main game and am starting on Hearts of Stone now. This game is so special…

Definitely would love another critique of it

Luke the amount of time and effort you put into your videos and critiques are some of the best ever I’m glad to see your growth. Keep up the good work.

Would definitely love to see you play this again! It's my favorite game of all time!

That eye in the dummy sequence might just be a reference to all the boys that died in Kaer Morhen before they could become witchers. I don't know if I remember correctly, but I think in the books it gnawed at Geralt which is why he didn't want to put Ciri through it, since the death rate for the Trial of the Grasses was so high. He doesn't mention it to Vesemir because Vesemir already knows that.

I remember my first playthrough, I got the bad ending. Now I'm thinking of revisiting it, right after I finish the Kingdoms of Amalur, Shadow of War, and Mad Max. Goddamit. P.S. My most remembered memory of the Witcher 3 wasn't anything in-game, it was Angry Joe's review where he shows a clip of him dancing to the Silver For Monsters battle music. *FIELDS OF ARD SKELLIG WILL ALWAYS BE A BOP*

Just had my second play through for Cyberpunk and with the new patches I really enjoyed it, but it also made me want to go back to Witcher 3. Now I'll give your video a view before I play through it again myself.

I’d love to see an updated critique on these games. That’d be perfect to do with the next gen updates that are (hopefully) finally coming out in Q4 and there can be a portion to compare to see how much the updates do to enhance the experience (I would hope it does).

Death march is absolutely the definitive experience of this game. When someone says they never used potions or oils, for example, it's just like ... bro play on death march.

I'm eagerly waiting for the remaster of Witcher 3. Would love to experience this masterpiece again with the gorgeous new graphics.

Love the lighting in your intro video footage.

i would love a re-critique of games youve reviewed the past. One of the best reviewers on youtube!

It still does. I played it very recently, including the expansion packs.

Personally I always viewed the eye on the training dummy to be a sort of older Ciri as Garlet gets older and his time is coming he's going to dream of her grown up getting possibly hurt because she's not a fully Witcher. And as such is why he's so hard on her, Trying to use training and her natural magical abilities to get her by instead of mutations and potions. And obviously that wasn't what he was taught and as such he's terrified of teaching her the wrong things thus leading to her possible death.

That intro dream and whie orchard just never gets old I'm obsessed with this game

Best game review/analize man out there, a classy and cultured man that has wide knowledge of gaming stars and flaws and give it to his audience in a best possible ways. Thank u my friend. And I'm soooo dissapointed that the new version of TW3 is delayed, was looking forward to it more than anything this year. Might just play base game again. Keep up good work !

Just bought the game for $10 on sale, I'm excited

Witcher 3 will never get old. It's a masterpiece in every single way with literally everything. Love them to see to put the bar even higher in the future.

I was completely new to the series and played it about a year ago its one of my favorite open worlds.

Just that background witcher 3 music gave me goosebumps!

Read all the books, beat Witcher 1 with that prehistoric combat system and W2 just so I can enjoy this game properly when I get around to it. I'm actually trying to enjoy other games before I do play W3 because I get the feeling most games are just going feel hollow in comparison.

One thing illogical in this game is that guards are at way higher level everywhere and still they need one 'witcher' to deal with daemons.

This game will never change from being my number 1 favorite rpg of all time. I remember beating this for the first time and then immediately hoping back in to see what I missed and what different paths to take. Witcher 3 is easily a master piece and I’m gonna be playing all 3 Witcher games back to back.

Did you know that the guy who did the World Design and Side Quest design including the "choice" feature in Witcher 3 also did the same in Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Notable stories he worked on in Witcher 3 was the Triss romance parts and the infamous scene you get with Triss and Yen if you tried to romance both ..... In Odyssey a couple worth mentioning are the "plague" quest on Kephallonia and the Kyra questline on Mykonos .... His name is Nikolas Kolm and if you put his name in the search bar above you should get an interview of him from April this year that's definitely worth a listen for fans of either game ....

Witcher 3 is so replayable too. One of the best games ever made.

That's my favorite game of all time 🥺 everything in it, is amaaaazing imo. It's the game that got me back into gaming after 2 years of not playing anything. I look forward to the new Witcher entry and hope CDPR redeem themselves again

Just came across your content. Really great stuff. Would absolutely love to see at 2.0 critique video!

Please do another full critique on the entirety of the Witcher please! I need more critiques to listen too during work lol

Took me months to finish this game. Serious void in life after beating it. Unbelievable game.

i tried to play it for the first time in 2022 and wasnt tht impressed, ive put it on hold indefinitely which is unfortunate cuz i really wanted to be absorbed and eventually play blood and wine, im a big rpg fan but a lot of things could be behind my non excitement.

Good news!! On the just passed anniversary of the Witcher 3’s release, their social media page announced that the Enhanced Edition will be released Q4 2022👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐺❤️

Love that this happens to come out as I’m in the middle of my 3rd playthrough. Can confirm that this game still holds up incredibly well 7 years on. There’s something about this open world and quest system that just feels right. Doesn’t get stale, always interesting. Always new stuff to find. Still stumbling upon hidden side content I’ve never seen before.

The Witcher 3 is one of the best ever made.Its my favourite game.Seeing your video makes me to start another playthrough

A literal masterpiece.

I want a review 2.0 but of the next-gen version whenever it comes out!! Great content btw, congrats on it!!

Would love to hear your take on The Complete Witcher 3 or even the trilogy after all these years. Always look forward to your videos and appreciate your take.

It absolutely holds up. It somehow gets even better every time I play it.

This game isn't just great. It's a Masterpiece. The kind of game you only get once in a generation of gaming. It still crazy to think that we got Wild Hunt & Bloodborne within a few months of each other.

Love the fact I legit started a new Witcher play through the day you uploaded this It’s on sale on PSN for $10 and it’s the complete edition so yeah…..SIMPING FOR YEN HERE WE COME

I just got the platinum and 100% hearts of stone. Working on blood and wine now. I've had it since day and never cared about the platinum but nowadays I do try and platinum the games that mean the most to me.

I remember waiting for the Witcher 3 video. As a fellow Coloradoan knowing you were from Fort Collins was really cool, I supported your sticker campaign when you still had Khaleesi, and I still have that signed sticker. You're one of the best gaming channels I've ever come across! Here for many MORE years to come, Luke!

I think the bleeding training dummy is simply supposed to symbolize the death Geralt or Ciri unintentionally brings. I've never found a conclusive answer (nor do I believe there is one).

once the next gen upgrade is out I'll get back into this. Never finished the 2nd expansion so will be the perfect chance to play the game again

I actually bought the game for the first time last year but didnt play it much, been getting back into it now and im so easily immersed into it. Would love to see you replay the game
