It should come as no surprise that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be included here, as the 2015 GOTY drew tons of attention from critics and fans alike. Wild Hunt continued the story of Geralt of Rivia, and it really set a new standard for open-world games. The way the game effortlessly blends main story and side content together is incredible, and there’s so much to do in the world of The Witcher 3, most of which is meaningful.
CD Projekt Red was established before, but The Witcher 3 helped put them on the map as one of the premier developers out there. Now everyone’s anxiously awaiting their next game, Cyberpunk 2077.
