Geralt's first outing stands out for its mature, morally grey world where decisions often pay off hours later. Its quirky rhythm-based combat with stances and potions takes getting used to, but the Slavic-flavored atmosphere is unforgettable.

Of Ash and Steel

Lots to discover

An indie third-person action RPG that blends old-school RPG sensibilities with modern design. You explore a war-torn island in the Kingdom of the Seven and fight to survive in a harsh world.

Gothic

Lots to discover

As a nameless prisoner dumped into a mining colony sealed by a magic barrier, you claw your way up from nobody with no quest markers, joining one of three camps and learning skills only from trainers. Its harsh, believable world full of gruff characters and its unforgiving, clunky combat made it a cult classic.

Bound By Flame

Choices with consequences

A challenging action RPG from Spiders where a mercenary is possessed by a fire demon and must decide how much humanity to trade for its power. Parrying, dodging and fire magic define the combat, while choices shape companions and the ending.

Hand of Fate

Choices with consequences

A mysterious dealer lays out a tarot-card board-game dungeon, and encounters then erupt into real-time, Arkham-style melee brawls. The blend of luck, choices and combat makes every run tell a different story.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Choices with consequences

As a newly turned vampire, you navigate clan intrigue in nighttime Los Angeles. Your choice of clan reshapes both dialogue and playstyle, most famously with the unhinged Malkavian. The game earned cult status through its sharp writing, dense atmosphere and unforgettable quests.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Choices with consequences

Geralt of Rivia is drawn into a web of regicide and political intrigue, and one early decision splits the entire second act into completely different locations and storylines. Demanding real-time combat and a grim, morally grey world define the experience.

Blacktail

Choices with consequences

Blacktail is a first-person action adventure in which you play young Yaga from Slavic folklore, fighting with a bow and magic and deciding whether she becomes the forest's guardian or a feared witch. It has a fairy-tale dark world and a morality-driven path.
