As you may have noticed, Metacritic lacks any Xbox One or PC scores; that trend\u2019s about to continue.<\/p>\n

What it doesn\u2019t do is take away from how well The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> has scored among critics.<\/p>\n

Kotaku<\/a> \u2013 Yes (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Yet thanks to some spry, consistent writing and a fine voice-over performance by actor Doug Cockle, Geralt feels like a consistently believable, three-dimensional person. ”<\/p>\n

Gamespot<\/a> \u2013 10\/10 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is more than its thematic turbulence that makes The Witcher 3<\/em> extraordinary, actually. Excellence abounds at every turn in this open-world role-playing game: excellent exploration, excellent creature design, excellent combat mechanics, excellent character progression.”<\/p>\n

IGN<\/a> \u2013 9.3\/10 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Witcher 3<\/em> is as dense and deep as the other two games in the series in terms of RPG mechanics, and the overwhelmingly massive open-world environment has at once made that depth more intimidating, and in the long run, more rewarding.”<\/p>\n

Gametrailers<\/a> \u2013 9.8\/10 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Rich landscapes, deep personal storytelling, meaningful choices, and thoughtful combat in a staggeringly enormous world. The Witcher 3<\/em> has arrived.”<\/p>\n

Metro<\/a> \u2013 9\/10 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Witcher 3<\/em> can be see as pretty much a direct cross between Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/em> and Skyrim<\/em>. It has the third person view, moral choices, and multiple open world environments of BioWare\u2019s game, but the real-time combat and open-ended structure is more reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Destructoid<\/a> \u2013 8\/10 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, ridges and edges are problem areas, and I had Geralt get stuck a few times in the game world or die to very questionable amounts of fall damage. It doesn’t help the situation when a few main story quests have bugs in them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
