Making its video game debut in 2007 the original Witcher game hooked many people with its intriguing story and setting. However, it was far from perfect. The combat and most of the gameplay was outdated at best, because of this it left a lot of fans with mixed feelings. This would of course all change with the second and third games that would arrive later. Form there the brand would never look back and soon became one of the most celebrated series to date.

Despite the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt being released almost five years ago it is still somehow making money thanks to how much of an impact it had at the time. Not to mention that Wild Hunt has been repackaged to new platforms like the Nintendo Switch. There have been other spin-offs such as Gwent too.
