I tried playing Witcher 2 when it came out, but couldn't. It's so immersion breaking when some parts of the map are blocked by some gates or invisible walls. When Witcher 3 came out I was hesitant at first remembering my bad experience with 2, but I loved it so much.

I liked that game. Then they decided to completely rework it. IMO for the worse. It went downhill from there.

By the time I wanted to play that it was gone.

It was still a really good game by the time they stopped working on it, and one of the least greedy CCG I've ever seen. Hearthstone was already starting to lose players, and they had a shot at being a replacement, even if the mechanics of the game were rather different.

And then Marvel Rivals came out and the CCG landscape was just overpopulated.

i wanted gwent on my phone, not on my PC. i forgot about it by the time it released for phones.

I'm just curious what you think is a good open world then

They are in almost all open world games.

The cyberpunk one was great, because it was so beautiful that merely driving in it was enjoyable

TW3's open world was boring and terrible in every way
