10 Video Games To Play If You Love Game Of Thrones
1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3 was released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows, and based on the novels by Polish author Andrej Sapkowski. The books are a being adapted to a Netflix TV show, but the producers are going to be referring to the game as a major influence too.
This is a great idea, because the world of The Witcher is as rich and as detailed as anything seen in a Game of Thrones.
Much like Game of Thrones, the game is explicit in its depiction of a war-torn world filled with corruption, racism, and prejudice, and as an open world RPG, The Witcher 3 and its expansions are almost unrivalled in terms of story and characterization. The voice acting is superb throughout, and there’s even an appearance from Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) as the Emperor Emhyr Emries.
If the new TV series does as good a job of recreating Sapkowski's books as the video games by CD Projekt RED, then GoT will have a worthy successor in the dark fantasy genre.
