Witcher 3, when it came out, I just got stuck in, and the world-building in that is so fantastic. They’ve set their rules. The graphics in there still stand up today. Imean, I’ve been playing on my 3090, and so I think the graphics still stand up.
And that’s what I loved the most about it was the immersion in that world, and you could really feel like you could just go and do anything. And the detail was extraordinary.
