According to many, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the best game of 2010s. CD Projekt RED strived to produce the most convincing world that would be faithful to Andrzej Sapkowski's prose. This guaranteed a unique atmosphere that cannot be found in other games. This is one of the reasons why the third Witcher is so special.

Another element important for the success of the production is a great story. All this isn't only about the main thread itself, but also, and for some, mostly, about side quests, which offer better adventures than the main stories of many lesser games. We often come across engaging stories that can be really touching. For this reason alone, you might want to get to know this world as much as possible. Especially when such amazing locations await.

One of them is certainly Novigrad – a lush city where we can find literally everything that Geralt may need. Hattori, a master of blacksmithing, can provide the best armors and weapons for the witcher. However, to be able to use his services, you must first help him solve a problem – as part of the "Of Swords and Dumplings" side quest. Just another example of a good story. There are many more noteworthy places in Novigrad, as we find out during a thorough exploration. An interesting fact is that this fictional city contains quite a few buildings inspired by real Polish cities – such as Lodz or Gdansk.
