So far it's been great. The facial animations alone automatically elevate it above other dialogue and choice heavy RPGs. The time of day and weather effects are impressive and create all these random moments that feel like they were hand-crafted instead. Witcher games have always given a lot of choice for players in combat but some of the things they added (passive loadouts, secondary spell functions, decoction potions) bring an entirely new level of customization depth I haven't seen in action RPGs. And the story is the same high standard we expect from CDPR, with some scenes that are already among the most powerful I've seen in a game. Specifically with the Bloody Baron and his family.

It lives up to its reputation as "The Skyrim Killer" but there is one area where Bethesda comes away unscathed and that's how they litter their open worlds with dungeons and mini quests. Wild Hunt feels more like an open world action game as most of the points of interest are bandit dens, monster nests, treasure hunts and the like. There are some solid dungeons but they seem few and far between. Thats one area they could still improve upon. Otherwise, this is a must play game for fans of RPGs and open world AAA games.
