So, what do we think of The Witcher 3? It has phenomenal value for money as we sunk over 40 hours into the game and were nowhere near finishing, which is an experience we’re not quite used to. In fact, the developers claim that you need close to around 200 hours of gameplay to complete all quests, side quests and collectables. The graphics and dynamic weather effects are great additions and the sheer size of the open world means that you’ll have many, many interesting and un-scripted experiences while exploring.
