OUR VERDICT
CD Projekt

Best for: Players who want single-player RPGs with no microtransactions and DRM-free ownership. CD Projekt has never shipped a game with pay-to-win mechanics, loot boxes, or season passes that gate story content.

Shop on GOG
Nintendo

Best for: Players who prioritize first-party game quality. Nintendo's first-party library averages the highest Metacritic scores of any major publisher, with 15+ titles scoring 90+ on a single platform.
