This mind-blowingly open-ended RPG might be the next Baldur's Gate 3: 'If you have the patience, you could wipe out an entire town by just turning everyone against each other'

Unforetold: Witchstone was maybe the biggest surprise for me at our PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted showcase. The Spearhead Games CRPG almost evokes Larian's first Divinity: Original Sin game in its presentation, but instead of pursuing cinematic RPG production values, Witchstone is like an alternate evolutionary path emphasizing the construction of an open-ended, RPG sandbox.

Oh FFS, is this going to be a thing now, "journalist" who can't tell their ass from their head will be comparing everything to BG3 (which is actually quite funneled and non-open ended).

That said, I always prefer CRPG teams that, given the choice, don't give a damn about more than descent presentation and go for substance, and Unforetold: Witchstone might be just the one.
