GCO: "CD Projekt Red has shown that it can develop a “modern-RPG,” a game with non-linear storytelling, excellent characters and a rich world with the past The Witcher titles. Now, the developer wants to bring all of those elements to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, its open world game."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

In hindsight, I don't know what I'd change about it. It was amazing, as the story was so great, and it FORCED me to play it again, so I could choose the 'other side'. It was that good.
Also, I freaking LOVED the LOTR reference by Iorveth. And also the Mines of Moria tribute, with Balin's tomb. You find the missing letters, and one of them reads like the movie (I could hear the drums etc.). Day 1, absolutely. CD Projekt Red have some of the highest ethical standards in the way they treat their fans. They even said there will be FREE POST LAUNCH DLC. I would gladly pay extra money for a big expansion dlc. Any money that goes to them is money well spent.
Shabby combat mechanics.
the witcher 1 is one of the best prg's ever made, sits there with baldurs gate 2 shadow of amn and deus ex, its that good
the witcher 2 is epic in scope and design, maybe just a bit below the witcher 1, but still, simply amazing, a 10/10 game all around, up there with greats like kotor, neverwinter nights 1 and 2, icewind dale, planescape torment
the series is, simply put, near perfect, and i can only imagine the epic heights cdpr will take the third installment!
