"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out in 2016 and I have owned it since, only ever managing a few hours of playtime."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
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.

I've also had issues bouncing off the game. My issue seems to be the combat. I think the game looks great, the writing seems solid, and the world/worldbuilding seems excellent. But the combat has to be at least passable, and I find it oscillates between boring, tedious, and annoying.
I've heard I need to play the game on death march, or at least well above the average difficulty, for the combat to get interesting. But every time I go back, I just end up quitting shortly thereafter. I never delete it though. I continue to let its beefy install to take up space on my HDD year after year, keeping the friction to jump back in as low as possible. I've never fought against my base instinct of a game harder than with TW3 - I just keep assuming one day it'll click for me.
So maybe I'll have to give it a go just...one more time. Maybe this will be the time! :-p
Never played the game but the Netflix show made me want to play it. I'm just waiting until I beat at least a few games I bought in the past. You know to give me the illusion I'm making a dent in my backlog. Lol
I too have had this game for some time. I picked up the complete edition a long while back and it sat in my backlog....until now. I am about 40 hours in and am loving it. The lore, the story, the world. I love it. If not for the series this would more than likely have lingered in my backlog for even longer. Thanks Netflix, and thanks CD PR for a fantastic game.
The show is ass 🤣 the game is awesome I hate how the characters look in the tv show especially Trish and Yen.
Took a bit to get used to the combat. The show definitely has some in common with the way Geralt handles tasks. Decent show, loved the game, never read the books 😬
