CD Projekt Red's benchmark open-world RPG follows Geralt of Rivia across a war-torn continent whose side quests are its real achievement, self-contained stories with weight and consequence that outshine most games' main plots. The world is dense, reactive, and unusually literate, and its expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, are held up as some of the best in the medium.
Players and critics converge on the writing, the world, and the characters as career-best work; the persistent complaint is combat that feels clunky against everything around it, plus the odd performance grumble. It sits on this list as much for its open world as its role-playing depth, and remains the standard the genre measures itself against. Rated Mature.
