The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt vs Vampyr

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.

Set in post‑World War I London during the Spanish flu pandemic, you play as Dr. Jonathan Reid, a newly‑turned vampire forced to balance his medical oath with his bloodthirsty curse. Explore atmospheric streets, uncover personal stories, and decide who lives and who dies.
