review
It's probably no secret that the fantasy RPG about the new adventures of the witcher Geralt of Rivia will be one of the best games of the year, and maybe of the last decade. Since the release of the project "The Witcher 3" has passed a short period of time, but during this time the game has conquered millions of hearts around the world, and also did not leave indifferent even the most biased critics. Let's dive into the world of fantasy monsters, beautiful ladies, powerful warriors and take a short journey into this epic RPG. The review of the game "The Witcher 3" is waiting for you below.
"The Witcher 3", a review of the plot of which will go below, is a logical continuation of the previous parts and tells about the adventures of Geralt, engaged in the search for his beloved Jenifer, kidnapped by some "Wild Hunt". On the way the main character will face many obstacles, he will make a lot of friends and enemies, learn the secrets of sorcery, magic and fight with unprecedented monsters. At the same time, the plot of the game does not become boring and monotonous, but keeps you in suspense throughout the process.
Even the developers can't tell how long it will take to complete a full journey through the game, and this is what makes "The Witcher 3" remarkable. Passing the storyline takes more than 50 hours, not to mention the side quests, which are in the game a huge number. And each of them is original and unique. As in the first two parts, the hero's actions depend not only on the end of the game, which, by the way, 36, but also on the attitude of other characters to him. So it is worth thinking over your steps to get a good ending.
The game "The Witcher 3", whose graphics review can be done for hours, is remarkable for its realism. Polish developers spent a lot of time to create landscapes that are as close to the real ones as possible. Sailing in a boat or traveling on a horse, you can spend hours admiring sunsets and sunrises, which have some ineffable magic inherent only in the game "The Witcher 3".
Requirements for launch, of course, not weak: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 (64-bit) or Windows 8; Direct X 11; processor Intel Core i5-2500K, 3.3 GHz, AMD Phenom II X4 940; video card AMD Radeon HD 7870, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660; 40 GB on the hard drive and 6 GB of RAM.
But the beauty of the surrounding nature and stunning dynamic change of weather, day and night more than make up for this shortcoming. The detailing of the surrounding world is maximum. Characters are painstakingly drawn, cast shadows, get wet under the rain, feel emotions - already now we can say that the game actually has no analogues. Especially we would like to pay attention to the change of weather, which lives its own life. Just now it was absolutely sunny, but in a couple of minutes everything went dark, it started to rain, trees bend from the wind and everything is so realistic that it seems that you are watching a movie.
The game takes into account everything - from the rustling of leaves underfoot to the distant rumblings of thunder. Sound pours from everywhere, and it is safe to say that the hero will not stay in silence, because even in an empty house he is waiting for the creak of floorboards and the rustling of a mouse. The clang of steel in battle, the rustling of grass under the horse's hooves, the chatter of people in the squares, the ringing of bells in churches - the absolute realism of all this and more will give you "The Witcher 3". Requirements to the sound card is also quite serious, but the audio design of the game will immerse you in the passage with a head.
Compared to previous installments, controlling the Witcher has become easier and more convenient. The combat system has changed almost completely, and the icons above the enemy, which indicate that you can strike or counter-strike, have also disappeared. Now everything is much simpler: you want to hit - hit, but you still need to follow some tactics of combat. Witcher learned to swim, jump, ride a horse, climb mountains and much more.
Our hero is engaged in witchcraft as-is, and magic is not the least important for him. But it has become much easier to control it. You need to apply a sign - press a hotkey. But as before, before the fight, you should use a few elixirs and potions to increase your strength.
The game "The Witcher 3", the review of which is in front of you, has a huge, exceeding any imagination, map. At the same time, you will be able to go in any direction, to do as you please, regardless of the storyline. Only a very small number of locations will become available as you complete some quests. Of all the games in this series, only the third "The Witcher" got a huge open world, which you can travel through with the help of the quick move menu. The surrounding space is quite diverse, and you can visit hot forests or snowy mountains. Separately I would like to say that "The Witcher 3" is the first game in history without a loading menu. That is, you pass into a cave or a door and do not wait for a new location to open, but just continue the journey.
