Witcher 3, it's actually lived up to the hype so far. I bought it months ago when it was on sale on Steam, finally got around to playing it.
I must say, I envy you having not already completed the game. By far the best character writing in an RPG, there's a level of panache that no other developer has successfully managed, certainly not with the depth of content that W3 has -- it's a LONG game.
Big respect for CDPR for constantly patching it. The patch that came about around the Blood and Wine expansion release added new features that were completely separate from the expansion, including a new UI and a Gwent checklist... it's rare to see that nowadays when AAA games come out with crippling bugs that are never fixed.
Oh yeah, on this note I just finished Blood and Wine and didn't post about it while playing, so! Toussaint is beautiful, it has its own unique atmosphere just like the areas in the first game, albeit one that is more relaxed than the gloom of Velen and Novigrad. Not going to post spoilers so I'll just say that the main quest was satisfying, there's one new character who I really liked and the ending rounded off the whole Witcher saga very well.
