From dealing with mythical beasts like the griffin, which required gamers to learn the intricacies of the game’s great combat system, to helping townsfolk in The Witcher 3’s myriad side quests or getting tangled in a love triangle in the game’s deep main quest, this was a game that offered role-playing fans plenty to savour. And there’s no doubt too that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was also the top gaming experience of the year for Xbox One owners, and also one of the best video games seen to date.
