10 Things Every Video Game Needs To Learn From The Witcher 3

8. How To Attract A Diverse Range Of Gamers

In the past, games like The Witcher 3 would only appeal to a certain niche of more hardcore and dedicated bunch. While the scale, detail and challenge of such a game is attractive to some, it can be daunting for newer players. Clearly the developers have honed their craft, because what was once a relatively obscure series has now reached blockbuster levels of success and notoriety. No doubt this is the result of years of hard work and dedication. The Witcher 3 is great for gamers of all ranges of experience, striking an impressive balance between being too easy and too challenging. Despite being the third game in a series, the story and mythology supporting it is quite easy to follow, even if you can€™t quite remember names and places. These achievements are why so many people love The Witcher 3; it casts a large net of appeal in a way its predecessors didn€™t. It is a testament to a game€™s ability to reach new players without alienating those that have been with the series from the beginning. When other games find themselves leaning one way or the other, The Witcher 3 is perfectly balanced, and any other mythology-heavy title could learn a thing or two from it.
