Overview
Description

Might and Magic IX takes you from the wrecked ship on the Isle of Ashes to a sprawling adventure across ten continents, where you must reunite the six Cheh'dian clans against a western invasion. Powered by a new LithTech‑based 3D engine, the game adds overland maps, branching conversations, a flexible class system and twenty‑three unique skills. The single‑player experience blends traditional turn‑based combat with deeper spell‑casting options and extensive exploration, offering hundreds of hours of dungeon crawling and story‑driven quests for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.
