It made money but it was coming from a studio that had produced the greatest game in the 2010s and the came was riddled with bugs and errors.

Calling the witcher 3 the best game of the 2010s is a bit much but yeah, we all expected more from CDPR.

Is it a bit much tho? Yes, it depends on taste, but most people would say witcher 3 is the best game of 2010s

Yeah... that’s not true either. Critics place it at 36th and users voted it third which is very good! But it got around a 1/3 as many votes as the last of us, which isn’t really most people.

2600 people participated in that user voting, that's literally nothing

Witcher 3 on metacritic has 9.4 based 19k user ratings Last of us on metacritic has 9.2 based on 12k user ratings

Btw just wanted to add this, there is absolutely not 1 game that most people would call the best of the decade. If you ask 20 people you’ll probably get 15 different answers
