Well...., technically impressive, but in concepts, there's nothing that i haven't see in others games long time ago only updated and polished to today standars. The gameplay is a mix of FEAR (a game from 2005), Fallout 4 (1st person interactivity with the world and characters and the RPG elements ) and recent Deus Ex (tech gadgets). And talking about Deus Ex, the level design looked similar to those games too with the closed environments that you can play guns blazin, stealthly or with your words, with a level of detail of Half Life 2 (a game from 2004). The open world part looked directly similar to something like GTA of Watch Dogs. Visually the game looked great, with a lot happenning on scene, but to me the game looked current gen for PC and probably will receive just a little downgrade for consoles. It will be the best lookng open world game of the gen in 2019 or 2020 (or should be).
Those parts of the demo looked from solid to impressive, but.......the story, characters, setting, dialogue (the choice system) and game design didn't impressed me at all or even didn't like in some aspects. The demo didn't convince me at all why i should care about the characters, the world and its problems, I felt empty. The visual concept of the game is something I already seen multiple times in other games or media. To me, the game, apart from the technical aspect, looked boringly generic and nothing special. What I liked the most from The Witcher III wasn't the graphics or the gameplay (in fact its gameplay is rather mediocre), it was its storytelling, characters and world building. I did not feel any interest in living in this world and care about its people. That original 40 min demo of The Witcher III demo back then hyped me a lot more than this demo.
Definitively the game was overhyped by the media because is from CD Project and people want to believe they experienced the next big thing, but don't get me wrong, the game will still be good and one of the best of the generation, the quality and polishness are undeniable, but when people is saying this game is going to change the industry or be the GOTG...., sorry, but I don't feel the same.
A 9/10 demo-presentation, good, solid, but nothing revolutionary like most media said.
