I’ve actually never played it. Had a twenty year gap in gaming until I got a steam deck a year or so back. It’s very well spoken of, but I’m aware that it’s also a pretty old game. Does it still hold up okay?

One thing Witcher 3 does better than most open world RPGs even now is being able to make consistent small-scale side quests that are arguably more interesting than the main quest. Almost every village has a unique monster quest that could act as a small story in an anthology series. The tutorial zone, White Orchard, is a perfect example of this. Every questline links to another, and clever players can put together a storyline for the whole village over the course of several years. Aside from that, the DLCs are amazing. Gwent is a blast, and the soundtrack is still one of the best I’ve ever heard in gaming. Geralt is a wonderful protagonist too, he’s not the fantasy Batman that the marketing likes to portray him as. He’s curious, empathetic, and isn’t afraid to make a fool out of himself.
