2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher games are one hell of a unique case. They're titles initially born from the minds of two game designers, who after purchasing the rights to their favourite book series from the author himself, went on to put together a team of 15 people to birth the first iteration. From then it blossomed to around 100 for the second game, and nearer double that for the third - but all along the way the entire project has been fuelled by a desire to make the best fans-come-first RPG experience possible. With Wild Hunt, CD Projekt RED finally more than proved that. Despite the second game's variety of hub worlds you could explore, it's this newest (and final) instalment that fleshed everything out into a true open-world game, giving you a humungous world that's
reportedly 20% bigger than the mighty Skyrim. Main character Geralt is as wry and dutiful as ever, and the world he inhabits continues to be one of the most fleshed out and well-constructed in the entire history of gaming. We always knew it would take something special for a new game to sit up there with the likes of Skyrim, Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy VII, but from top to bottom (and despite the occasional graphical hitch), Witcher is exactly that.
