Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
170 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Witcher 3 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.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although at first I was finding my character being much stronger than the enemies on it's level, I was able to fix it thanks to the ability to fine tune the difficulty.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Compared to The Witcher 2, where you're immediately plunged headlong into a sexy story of intrigue and betrayal, this main quest can seem mundane, even perfunctory at times.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, if you have a few friends to play it with, if you can get past the initial steps, you will find hours of coop fun and an endless procedural world
