Since Bethesda released their epic open-world role playing game in 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has generally been considered the gold standard in western RPGs. It is arguably the yardstick by which all games of a similar genre are measured against, and with good reason. Skyrim is one of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling RPGs of all time and is still one of the most widely played games now according to Steam statistics. In fact, it was the first game that we ever gave a five star review score to. However, theres a new kid on the block. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released to impressive reviews and equally impressive sales figures, shifting 4 million copies in two weeks. Now the game has been out for over a month and the post-release hype has somewhat died down, its a good time to take a deep breath and attempt to calmly answer the question that has fervently been asked so many times this month: is The Witcher 3 actually better than Skyrim?
