DEVELOPER CD PROJEKT RED PUBLISHER CD PROJEKT
Open worlds on PC reached their zenith with CD Projekt’s dark fantasy. The scale of this RPG was extraordinary, but what truly defined The Witcher 3was the texture of its world. Its landscapes weren’t just beautiful, they were wild and unkempt and hostile. Its story wasn’t just dramatic, it was tender, nuanced, heartwarming and heartbreaking. The quality wasn’t limited to the main plot, but virtually every side quest too. It may be a game about a mutant slaying monsters, but The Witcher 3 is one of the most human games ever produced by a big-budget studio.
