It goes without saying that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em><\/a> is easily one of the greatest games ever made.\u00a0The Witcher<\/em><\/a> and The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings<\/em><\/a> were definitely great games in their own right, but they definitely don’t even hold a candle to the sheer excellence of the third game.<\/p>\n

Watching Geralt’s journey\u00a0conclude in the most satisfying manner possible is easily one of the best feelings one can ever get from a video game… and that’s not even getting into the brilliant combat, graphics, characters, lore, and everything else along the same lines.\u00a0There aren’t many games that feel as fresh or unique as The Witcher 3<\/em><\/a>…but for any person who wishes to enjoy a similar experience, here are some action RPGs that feel like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> in the best ways possible.<\/p>\n

Updated on January 10th, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman:<\/strong><\/em> Those seeking the same thrills that make\u00a0The Witcher 3 a resounding success in the eyes of gamers across the globe should open their horizons to games that share the same traits.<\/em><\/p>\n

As an open-world game, there are vast plains and forests to explore in search of monsters to slay and treasure to loot. Refined action and immersive combat are also integral to keep players coming back for more satisfying battles time after time. In addition, worlds filled with fascinating NPCs and unique beasts to fight can increase the variety of things players encounter for a realm that feels more like a home away from home than virtual reality. Such features can be found in a few other modern games, so be sure to keep an eye out for these titles if one has an ARPG itch to scratch.<\/em><\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Greedfall<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Placing the player in the boots of a noble emissary exploring a mostly undeveloped island,\u00a0Greedfall<\/a><\/em> offers a large and dynamic map to uncover. The third-person view that mixes a nice range of melee weapons and firearms gives this ARPG a unique feel that will resonate well with fans of\u00a0The Witcher\u00a0<\/em>games.<\/p>\n

There are a ton of cool, original monsters to meet and slay, though the vibrant natural world offers more than just combat. Players can romance various companions along the way, build diplomatic relations with powerful politicians, and bring peace to the divided factions crowding the island.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Dark Souls 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There are several parallels between the\u00a0Dark Souls<\/a><\/em> trilogy and\u00a0The Witcher<\/em> games. The combat is challenging, the stories are deep and sometimes require reading in-game text to fully understand,\u00a0as well as\u00a0having plenty of hidden quests to find. However,\u00a0Dark Souls 2<\/a><\/em>‘s healing mechanics make it the game most similar to\u00a0The Witcher<\/em> trilogy out of the three\u00a0Dark Souls<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of Lifegems and the slowness of consuming Estus Flasks forces players to fight more strategically, as healing directly in front of a boss will not restore HP quickly enough to prevent death in the direst of cases. Strategic healing over longer periods of time is crucial when hunting monsters in\u00a0The Witcher<\/em>, which is a feature that lets players grow and rely more on their combat prowess instead of quick recovery following\u00a0sloppy attacks and dodges.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Few games put as much emphasis on swordplay as\u00a0The Witcher<\/em> games. Geralt has many styles of wielding his steel and silver blades; each important in specific scenarios. Applying the same method to every fight is a sure way to meet one’s demise.<\/p>\n

One game that matches\u00a0The Witcher 3<\/em> in this regard is\u00a0Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/a><\/em>. Wolf, the protagonist, must utilize his katana in a variety of ways to overcome the many difficult bosses and tough enemies in a land steeped in wonderfully implemented Japanese lore. The focus on mythology and the supernatural is also a big draw for gamers interested in a dark fantasy setting.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Salt & Sanctuary<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Exploration and backtracking to previously discovered locations are big components in many ARPG games. Sometimes, when the player comes across an overwhelming foe, it is best to do a tactical retreat and return when better equipped or at a higher level.<\/p>\n

Players seeking such gameplay should check out\u00a0Salt & Sanctuary<\/em><\/a> for the chance to adventure through deadly and dark areas while dispatching\u00a0sinister adversaries in excellently implemented combat. The themes of careful resource management and the risk of losing them are features that may stress players out, but in the best way possible, for it encourages them to make wiser decisions in the long-term instead of flippant short-term ones.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Ghost of Tsushima<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In a gorgeous setting full of epic duels, horse-riding, and impeccable dialogue,\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em><\/a> very much feels like what a game in\u00a0The Witcher<\/em> series would be like if it was set in a Japan-influenced world. Players take control of Jin Sakai, one of the strongest swordsmen on Tsushima, and are tasked with forcing the Mongol invasion out of Japan.<\/p>\n

The world design and visuals in this game are absolutely breathtaking and make wandering the many fields and forests a joy by itself. Though, when filled with quirky characters laden with quests to save the Japanese people from a plethora of threats, both Mongol and otherwise, players will have many, many hours of content to enjoy.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>God Of War<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The idea of rebooting God of War<\/em><\/a> could’ve proven to be a disastrous idea, but Santa Monica Studio<\/a>\u00a0managed to bring their A-game<\/a> and develop what is easily one of the greatest action RPG titles of all time.<\/p>\n

God of War<\/em> is a must-buy for anyone who owns a PS4<\/a>, and quite possibly one of the greatest video games ever made… even rivaling The Witcher 3<\/em> when it comes to sheer quality!<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Horizon Zero Dawn<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Horizon Zero Dawn<\/em><\/a> was one of the best titles to have ever come out on the PS4, and it’s a boon for gamers that more people will have access to this brilliant title<\/a> with the launch of the PC<\/a> port.<\/p>\n

Roaming around a beautiful post-apocalyptic world that is full of robot dinosaurs is easily one of the best experiences of all time.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Mass Effect 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When it comes to games that are similar to The Witcher 3<\/em>, it goes without saying that most BioWare<\/a> games from their golden age are a great fit. Mass Effect 2<\/em><\/a> is one such game that is a must-play for anyone who was invested in the story of The Witcher 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Secrets Behind The Making Of Mass Effect 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While BioWare games tend to focus more on party interactions, individual character stories, and the like, there will still be enough similarities between Mass Effect 2<\/em> and The Witcher 3<\/em> to satiate any person’s role-playing urges. The biggest difference between both these games is their settings… which is where the next game on this list comes into the picture.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Dragon Age:\u00a0Inquisition<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

If having a high fantasy world is an absolute must for anyone who wishes to play a game like The Witcher 3<\/em>, then the Dragon Age<\/em><\/a> series would be right up their alley. Pretty much any game in the series can fit the bill, but the modern nuances present in Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/em><\/a> makes it\u00a0just a tad bit more accessible.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons as to why one should definitely try out Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/em> if they love The Witcher 3<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 the glorious setting, high-stakes plot, and enjoyable combat<\/a> are just a few of the many reasons why people should definitely try this title out.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Bloodborne<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Witcher 3<\/em>‘s combat is awesome, and any player who wishes to enjoy a\u00a0tighter\u00a0and more challenging version of this combat should definitely try out Bloodborne<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fast-paced nature of the game’s combat will definitely feel right at home with the battles in The Witcher 3<\/em>, and that’s not the only selling point of Bloodborne<\/em><\/a>. The beautiful Gothic world of this game has a number of Lovecraftian elements that make the levels of Bloodborne<\/em> equally haunting and engrossing to explore.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Monster Hunter: World<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

At the end of the day, Geralt is a Witcher who is paid to kill a whole bunch of monsters<\/a> in order to earn some coin. Isn’t that what Monster Hunter: World<\/em><\/a> is all about as well?<\/p>\n

It seems that both Capcom<\/a> and CD Projekt Red<\/a> realized this, and decided to collaborate in a bid to add Geralt to the game itself. So, if a player wishes to control Geralt in a different game altogether, then Monster Hunter: World<\/em> is the way to go!<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

High fantasy settings are a dime-a-dozen in video games, and it can be quite challenging to select a game that does justice to its setting. Thankfully, Middle Earth:\u00a0Shadow Of Mordor<\/em><\/a> manages to evade this problem since its setting is already as established and legendary as can be.<\/p>\n

It certainly helps that the game is extremely fun to play, with the visceral combat being an absolute blast in every sense of the word. People who play Shadow of Mordor<\/em> will definitely have an extremely positive and enjoyable experience indeed.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Red Dead Redemption 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It would be impossible to talk about excellent open-world games with RPG elements without mentioning the masterpiece that is Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Hidden Secrets Many Still Haven’t Found In Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Rockstar Games<\/a> truly blew everyone’s expectations out of the water with the release of this brilliant title, which is easily the greatest video game Western by a country mile.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Fallout: New Vegas<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The intricate plot and game-altering decisions of The Witcher 3<\/em><\/a> are one of the game’s biggest selling points, and gamers who wish to enjoy such consequence-heavy decision-making in their games should definitely try out Fallout: New Vegas<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This game takes everything good about the first two Fallout<\/em><\/a> games and combines them with the modern conveniences introduced in Fallout 3<\/em><\/a> to craft a sublime role-playing experience that no self-respecting gamer should miss out on.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While the story of The Witcher 3<\/em> is definitely one of the biggest reasons why people love this game, another aspect of the game that should also be highlighted is the brilliant open-world exploration.<\/p>\n

So, it’s only a given that people who loved exploring the beautiful world of The Witcher 3<\/em> would also\u00a0enjoy playing Skyrim<\/em><\/a>, which is considered by many to be one of the greatest role-playing games ever made, and for good reason.<\/p>\n
