It’s very highly regarded, but I honestly didn’t enjoy it a ton. One thing that it does do quite well is its characters, which I think it also frankly one of the strongest aspects of the source material.
The gameplay was super mid to me though, leaning on not fun. Like, I don’t think I would have played it if not for a few mods on PC that I considered damn near necessary for my enjoyment.
Oh, another thing it did really well was its urban centers. I love me a big city in a video game, and Witcher 3 does have one of the best I’ve seen.

Yes it’s still better than the vast majority of open world RPGs, even the new ones. It doesn’t feel like an old game.
It’s not perfect and the combat is mid, but the story and characters hold up as well as they ever did. Really good writing and voice acting. And the graphics were revamped a few years ago. It looks amazing with RT if your machine can take the performance hit.
