Last year, a friend of mine convinced me to try The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, an RPG on the PC that was getting good word-of-mouth. I took a chance and absolutely loved the game! It’s got gorgeous graphics, a cool, mature storyline, and great real-time combat for an RPG. I was not disappointed.

So hooray! The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming!

I put the full weight of my hopefully sterling reputation behind The Witcher games. I never played the first one, but the sequel was a fantastic single-player RPG. Plus I didn’t really need to know the first game’s story to catch up. I can only hope the threequel will be even better, with improved graphics, an open world and no doubt other forms of awesomeness. If you’re looking for a good, solid RPG with character choices, fun magic, great combat and some mature storytelling, I highly recommend The Witcher 2.

Plus it’s been out for awhile, so I bet it’s cheap these days.
