10 Humongous Video Games You'll Completely Lose Yourself In

8. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The addictiveness of The Witcher 3 is not in its story, as epic and award-winning as it is, but in the realism of the world. Any game that can include monsters and magic, yet through its brutal dissection of humanity, appear more believable than any other game, is bound to keep us wanting more.

The scale of the map, as well as the hidden mysteries that lurk in the dirty cities and charming villages, keep Geralt discovering secrets long after the end-game. What's more, CD Projekt RED didn't get the memo about DLC. Rather than offering us a few new costumes and weapons for a price, CDPR gave us those for free.

Rather than releasing Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine as sequels, deserving to be their own games considering they offer a combined gameplay time of around 60 hours, CD Projekt charged us the cost of about a half a full-priced title.

A game made with so much love is bound to absorb us; and few do it like The Witcher 3.
