The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is possibly the best The Witcher game yet, winning praises and accolades ever since its release. Honestly, you'll may never see another game that's as gorgeous and as nuanced as The Witcher 3. The story-driven gameplay, where every choice you make matters, is excellent; the voice acting spot-on; and the action-based combat is as tactically charged and varied as ever. The world this game is set in is also massive and the underwater combat, albeit a bit simplistic, sets precedence for other potential games to follow (We're looking at you Fallout 4... or maybe 5!). The modes of travel is as brilliant as well - whether you prefer horseback, sailing or both, you'll actually get to enjoy the journeying process due to the realism of it all. In fact, some may even opt for the old-school method of travel over "fast travelling".Although there were some complaints about the incredibly limited inventory at first, the developers were fast enough to address the problem in a patch within the week of the game's release. This only show how much importance is placed on player feedback and well, the developers also win extra points for producing a DRM-free version for GoG.com.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been claimed by many as the best RPG of all time and we definitely have to agree on this one. The game is just magnificent from end to end and if you really enjoy story rich RPGs, you simply must buy this game and try it out!
