The Witcher 3 is the best RPG I have ever played. I was - and still am - a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls series, the Mass Effect series, the Borderlands series, the Fallout series (havent played 4 yet), and many other great RPGs, but I do not think any of them hold a candle to the immersion provided in The Witcher 3. This game puts you in a world full of choices, hope, customs and traditions. You are surrounded by beautiful sights, decisions and storylines, and danger in every direction. The storyline is amazingly structured and paced, yet uniqueuely "your own" as a result of the numerous different decisions and paths you can take. The Witcher 3 boasts 36 different "end games" as a credit to the breadth of choices available to the player during this game, and the numerous different conclusions those endings provide. No other game I have ever played provided this level of engagement. There are random side-of-the-road NPC's backstories that will suprisingly resignate with you. There are aliances you will make, mistakes you will make, and characters you will hate and love, all based off of personal feelings you might not have even realized about yourself. Although, on the surface, this game sells itself as 'a game of monster slaying and inter-dimensional raiders', it has numerous narritave layers underneath that will leave you amazed.
