The year isn't quite over just yet but so far, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt has been one of the best games to release and it seems that plenty of people agree as the RPG just won five Golden Joystick awards and was even crowned as the ‘ultimate game of the year'. CD Projekt Red's masterpiece was nominated for several categories, from there, it was up to fans to vote on who wins.
In total, The Witcher won five awards including: Ultimate Game of the Year, Studio of the Year, Best Storytelling, Best Visual Design and Best Gaming Moment for the bloody baron quest line.
The Witcher launched back in May after two delays. Since then, CD Projekt Red has gone on to release eleven patches, 16 free DLCs and one expansion pack known as Hearts of Stone- which is really worth playing if you haven't already.
There is a second, larger expansion planned for release at some point next year known as Blood and Wine. After that, CDPR will be moving on to Cyberpunk 2077, a completely original IP.

KitGuru Says: The Witcher 3 has gone on to become one of my favourite games of all time, though I do have high hopes for Fallout 4, which is just around the corner. Have any of you played the new expansion just yet?
Well Earned. Best game I have played in a while
truly a masterpiece!, good job,boys!
They deserve every praise they can get. That’s how gamers reward a good game. You don’t need to hide behind hideous drm practices. exclusive dlc’s and in general what Ubisoft, EA, WB does for years. If your game is good, you’ll have profit, simple as that. The love and the detail CDPR put in Witcher 3 is an accomplishment on its own..
TW3 is a great game, but in my opinion the game quality doesn’t explain completely its success. Commnication is important too, and they did it perfectly.
Gaming personality of the year: PewDiePie. Why don’t I just drop my pants and rub one out all over a paper plate? If you made that your gaming personality of the year you wouldn’t look like idiots.
