The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt gameplay and storyline
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you step into the boots of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer for hire known as a Witcher. The first mission will be to find Yennefer, Geralt's long-lost lover, you will traverse a war-torn, dark fantasy world, slaying terrifying beasts using a combination of swords, magical Signs, and potions.
Then you will be tasked with finding Ciri by the Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis. Ciri is the adopted daughter of Yennefer and Geralt, and a biological daughter of the emperor. Ciri is the last heir to an ancient Elven bloodline who is being hunted by the Wild Hunt. Finding Ciri is the main quest of the game, but there are a lot of side quests too.
By completing quests, you earn experience points and gold which can be spent on upgrades and recipes for potions, bombs, and blade oils. Although choices made in the preceding titles of the series affect the game's content and storyline, you can still enjoy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt without playing them, thanks to an alternative path.
While The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt offers thrilling monster hunting and action-packed gameplay, its core appeal lies in its masterful and immersive storytelling. You will take on quests that involve solving intricate murder mysteries, lifting ancient curses, and navigating complex political intrigue — often with no clear right or wrong. Choices made throughout the game can have meaningful consequences, shaping the narrative and influencing multiple possible outcomes.
Geralt's movement includes walking, running, rolling, dodging, jumping, climbing and swimming. On the downside of the game, the story is unnecessarily padded, making the progress slow and tiring, and the movement can also feel clunky and unintuitive.
