The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt follows Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter, as he searches for Ciri, his adopted daughter, who is being chased by the spectral Wild Hunt. His journey crosses war torn Velen, the city of Novigrad and the islands of Skellige.
Released in 2015 and based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, it won hundreds of Game of the Year awards. The free Next Gen update in 2022 added ray tracing and quality of life improvements, and its two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, are considered among the best DLC ever made.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Gameplay Overview
Combat mixes swordplay, dodges and Signs, simple magic spells like Igni and Quen. Preparation matters: you study bestiary entries, brew potions and oils, and pick the right silver or steel sword. Witcher contracts turn monster hunts into investigations, and side quests are often as rich as main ones. Gwent, a card game you play with characters around the world, is a beloved distraction.
