The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt set a standard that other RPGs have spent a decade trying to match: a rich open world where every village has troubles of its own, a mature story full of difficult decisions, and a hero you actually want to play as. While we wait for the next expansion, Songs of the Past, there’s an obvious question: what else should we play? We’ve gathered 30 games like The Witcher 3, featuring dark fantasy, monster hunting, sprawling worlds, and stories shaped by your choices and their consequences.

A few years ago, PlayStation was considered the most player-friendly platform on the market. By 2026, almost nothing is left of that image: Sony walked away from a joint project with a living legend of the industry — and that project went straight to a direct competitor, stopped development on one of the oldest live-service games around, shut down a studio that never shipped a game under its ownership, raised console prices twice in seven months and subscription prices on top of that, refused to share tariff refunds with customers, and argued in court that players don't consider themselves owners of the digital games they bought. We've rounded up all of Sony's key failures of 2026 here — and we'll keep adding to the list as it grows.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance duology from Czech studio Warhorse stands alone in the action RPG genre. Instead of the usual fantasy trappings — magic, dragons, and a chosen-one hero saving the world — KCD offers the harsh realism of medieval Europe and a detailed simulation of an ordinary man's life caught up in the whirlwind of history. No spells, close attention to the social order and daily life of the 15th century, and a combat system built on real fencing techniques set the series apart from everything else on the market.

The soulslike genre owes its existence to Demon's Souls, released by FromSoftware in 2009. A PlayStation exclusive, it first earned a cult following among hardcore players in its homeland of Japan. From its core mechanics, FromSoftware's lead designer Hidetaka Miyazaki built a new game — Dark Souls — which launched a series that became iconic the world over. Soon the "soulslikes" started arriving: games that copy the Dark Souls formula of success. An entire genre was born, built on the hallmarks of Dark Souls — punishing difficulty, "bonfires" (checkpoints for saving and leveling up), enemies that respawn on a location once you die, collecting experience ("souls"), stamina management in combat, fragmentary storytelling, and — most importantly — gruelling boss fights that force you to learn every move set.

The action-adventure genre is one of the most varied in the industry: it covers a huge range of subgenres, from GTA-style games and open-world titles to metroidvanias and cinematic blockbusters.

This list includes games for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch / Switch 2.

Some particularly successful virtual entertainment titles leave a lasting impression not only on gamers but also on developers.
