About the game

Play as the monster hunter Geralt, roaming a war-torn continent in search of his adopted daughter Ciri. Fight monsters using swordplay, Sign magic and potions, and encounter quests everywhere whose outcomes change based on your choices. The two major expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, are just as well reviewed as the main game.

Why we recommend it

Every single side quest has a living story, which is why it's still always on the list when people name the great RPGs.
