The Witcher: The Game

The game was extremely popular amongst fans. The three Witcher games became an instant success upon their respective releases. The story in the games follows the struggles of Geralt of Rivia. The first two editions of the games are level-based and do not allow the player to explore outside the mission assigned. Both the games are story-driven and make the user stick primarily to the story. The third edition of the game, however, was a massive success as it enabled an open world setting. The players could explore and also play side quests. The series, in general, was an extremely thrilling experience for gamers as they immersed themselves in the rich medieval fantasy setting.
