Our review
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the greatest RPGs ever created. As Geralt of Rivia, you embark on an epic journey to find Ciri, your adopted daughter. What sets this game apart is the depth of storytelling - even the smallest side quests feel like complete stories with genuine moral dilemmas. The world is vast and varied, from the dark swamps of Velen to the colorful streets of Novigrad. The DLCs Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are nearly complete games themselves. Exceptional value for money.
