The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt proved in 2015 that RPGs could marry AAA production values with narrative depth, featuring over 450 quests across two war-torn kingdoms. Its expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, add 30+ hours of content so acclaimed they'd rank among the top 10 alone, with Blood and Wine winning Game of the Year awards from some outlets. This RPG outperforms #4 Dark Souls in accessible storytelling, as its choice-driven dialogues lead to 36 possible endings, while selling 50 million copies by 2023—a number 40% higher than the average for its genre peers.
