The phrase ‘time flies’ is always a relevant one. Can you believe that it was nine years ago that CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first landed?
It was on 19 May 2015 that this legendary action RPG launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
In fact, I still vividly remember the title taking home Game of the Year at that year’s Geoff Keighley-fronted The Game Awards.
Bloodborne and Fallout 4 put up some stiff competition, as did Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Super Mario Maker.
