Overview
Description

Neverwinter is a free-to-play, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as it rises from the ashes of destruction, taking you from besieged walls to subterranean passageways. Set a hundred years after the Spellplague and decades after a devastating volcanic eruption, the Jewel of the North is being rebuilt under Lord Neverember's protection. Brave adventurers from across the Savage North must answer the call to help restore the city while fighting off evil forces conspiring in the dark places of the world.

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.
