1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This game is based on the Witcher novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski and is certainly a role-playing masterpiece, and the best game of 2015. Game creators CD Projekt Red proved they are masters of the genre, as Geralt of Rivia’s latest adventure offers countless quests in a huge open-world. The fantasy world of Temeria has never looked this good, from the green meadows of the town of White Orchard to the grimy streets of Novigrad and the islands of Skellige.

And while some have criticized The Witcher 3 due to the fact that some quests were a bit samey, or that Geralt’s movement in combat wasn’t fluid enough, or even that the story wasn’t as great or focused as in The Witcher 2 (mainly to the shift to an open-world setting), none of this mattered in the end. CD Projekt delivered an epic and sprawling RPG the likes we hadn’t seen in years, a huge world to explore, epic quests and a remarkable storyline, making The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt our top game of 2015.
