Most popular esports games
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher franchise received proper recognition only after the release of the game series The Witcher. Sapkowski may forgive me, but young people would probably not have discovered Geralt if they hadn’t first encountered him in the sophisticated game trilogy by the Polish game studio CD Projekt Red. The best part is the last one: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which is still considered a masterpiece of the gaming industry to this day. It is fully playable even today, just install a patch that adjusts the graphics to today’s standards. Dive into a fantasy world full of violence and blood that strikingly resembles medieval Central Europe.Cyberpunk 2077
Thanks to the third game in the Witcher series, the game studio CD Projekt Red came into the spotlight as one of the best development studios ever. Expectations for their cyberpunk RPG Cyberpunk 2077 were therefore high. Unfortunately, right after its release, a wave of criticism poured in for an unfinished game. In recent years, however, with a huge amount of patches and updates, the game has become what it was supposed to be from the start: a perfect game gem that pays homage to cyberpunk culture.Baldur’s Gate 3
In the second half of 2023, the long-awaited continuation of the successful RPG series Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, which became the game of the year. This title is based on the game mechanics of the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons and, like its paper counterpart with dice, takes the RPG title to a completely new level. In the game, you create your own character, and which direction their journey will take is up to you. Your basic abilities influence the outcome of any activity, but the dice play the main role here. Whether you decide to be a fearless warrior of one of the gods or a selfish bloodthirsty killer, the game won’t stop you. BG3 offers hours of incredible fun.Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader
If Baldur’s Gate 3 hadn’t been released last year, Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader would have become the best RPG of 2023. It’s a pity that due to the unprecedented success of the aforementioned game, it remained too unseen in the shadows, but it still has a lot to offer. The world of Warhammer 40k follows humanity in the distant future, which is not rosy at all. On the contrary, it is as dark as a black hole, and the player will have to do a lot of maneuvering on various planets across the universe to survive. The isometric graphic design suits this game, and it is definitely worth diving into the dark depths of the story line.Elden Ring
If you are looking for a beat ’em up with RPG elements, sooner or later you will come across one of the soulslike games. They mainly focus on the combat system and the design of your enemies. The best and newest soulslike RPG is Elden Ring, which is impressive with its sophisticated and open game world as well as the difficulty of the fights. This game is not a relaxation, but a high-quality gaming challenge that is worth playing.Frequently Asked Questions
