Each of its biggest side quests could be a game of their own. Visually, musically, writing, characters, everything in the witcher 3 is better than anyting Bioware has ever produced. For me, it's not even a game, it's an artistic masterpiece.

And this is, by far, the best game I ever played in my entire life of gamer, which started way back when PC wasn't even a thing.


Some people like to play blank page hero. ;-)

About action RPG I would like to add first Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Atmosphere, unusual storytelling, good combat and NPCs that aren't our nannies, best bossfight soundtracks, enemies from the nightmares. Aaand visual gothic magnificence of Yharnam.
Dragon's Dogma DA would be my honorable mention because of fun factor of spell syncing maelstroms/BBI. Pawn mechanic gives some freshness.
