The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
May 18, 2015
You are Geralt of Rivia, mercenary monster slayer. Before you stands a war-torn, monster-infested continent you can explore at will. Your current contract? Tracking down Ciri — the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world.
PLAY AS A HIGHLY TRAINED MONSTER SLAYER FOR HIRE —
Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength, and reflexes, witchers are a counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live. • Gruesomely destroy foes as a professional monster hunter armed with a range of upgradeable weapons, mutating potions, and combat magic. • Hunt down a wide variety of exotic monsters, from savage beasts prowling mountain passes to cunning supernatural predators lurking in the shadowy back alleys of densely populated cities. • Invest your rewards to upgrade your weaponry and buy custom armor, or spend them on horse races, card games, fist fighting, and other pleasures life brings.
EXPLORE A MORALLY AMBIGUOUS FANTASY OPEN WORLD —
Built for endless adventure, the massive open world of The Witcher sets new standards in terms of size, depth, and complexity. • Traverse a fantastical open world: explore forgotten ruins, caves, and shipwrecks, trade with merchants and dwarven smiths in cities, and hunt across the open plains, mountains, and seas. • Deal with treasonous generals, devious witches, and corrupt royalty to provide dark and dangerous services. • Make choices that go beyond good & evil, and face their far-reaching consequences.
TRACK DOWN THE CHILD OF PROPHECY —
Take on the most important contract of your life: to track down the child of prophecy, the key to saving or destroying this world. • In times of war, chase down the child of prophecy, a living weapon foretold by ancient elven legends. • Struggle against ferocious rulers, spirits of the wilds, and even a threat from beyond the veil – all hell-bent on controlling this world. • Define your destiny in a world that may not be worth saving.
Our Review:
We believe this to be one of the greatest games ever created. They storyline is incredibly engaging, as well as the length of the gameplay. it combines RPG with epic boss fights. There is an incredible amount of different things to do in this game. The story is so beautifully made that Netflix even spun up a series based on the game, and it has blown away viewers each season.

Our Review:
Though this game is a little old, it will go down as one of the greats for many people. This game has everything, from player vs player combat, to group vault raiding. The storyline is deep, and the futuristic vibe is unmatched. Destiny 2 is out now, with many expansions under its belt, but it will never match the same energy players had with the first game.

Our Review:
For many people, this player vs player tactical shooter was energetic and complex. If you are looking for a competitive game, where each game is a challenge this is for you. There is a lot to learn, and even more to enjoy.
