The Witcher games and, more importantly, the books on which they are based, are very much geared for adults. And that's exactly how things will stay for Netflix's upcoming TV series.

In 2018, we wanted to find the best from Japan and beyond, the games where we swapped spreadsheets and printer jams for swords and sorcery. It was a journey that took us across the world (but mostly to Japan go figure), as we delved deep into dungeons and explored tombs of another era. Here’s a look at the treasures that we unearthed, as well as the best RPG that we could lay our hands on this year.

Thronebreaker is now available to buy on Steam after a very short period of exclusivity on CDPR’s own GoG. Speaking in an earnings call (via Eurogamer), joint-CEO Adam Kiciński admitted that the GoG exclusivity hasn’t really helped – and as a result, the game’s done far worse than CDPR had hoped.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales quickly establishes itself as more or less the paradigm of a genre. The alchemy of its RPG roots, addictive gameplay and wonderful story make it a far more fleshed-out package than many may have expected. While non-series fans may not find too much to write home about in terms of the tale it weaves, what remains in terms of gameplay is a fundamentally worthwhile package and one that one will provide many, many hours of entertainment.

Gwent is a drastically different game in Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, and acts as a backdrop for the haunting Nilfgaardian invasion prior to the events of The Witcher series. Check out new gameplay right now!

Hot on the heels of the announcement of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's in-development adaption of The Witcher series of novels, a host of new casting have just been announced. The actors for Yennefer, Ciri, and more are set.

Henry Cavill is reportedly done with the role of Superman in Warner Bros. struggling DC universe of films, potentially joining Ben Afleck in leaving the string of projects behind.

As netflix keeps pushing on with its plans to adapt The Witcher novels into a series, it's taken a big stride forward with the casting of its main character Geralt of Rivia.
