Anonymous
Reviews describe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered as a refreshed edition of CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed open-world RPG, with improvements to graphics and gameplay and a free upgrade for existing owners. They emphasize that the game’s enduring strengths remain its richly realized world, consequential moral choices, detailed quests and Geralt’s search for Ciri. One reviewer says the story remains accessible to newcomers, while another highlights the remaster’s visual changes, including ray tracing and PC-exclusive path tracing. Overall, the coverage finds the remaster a welcome refinement of a game that still feels worth playing.
Key Points
1
For newcomers, the story begins with Geralt searching for Yennefer before learning that Ciri has resurfaced and is being hunted by the Wild Hunt; the review says the writing provides enough context to follow key relationships without extensive explanations.
2
CD Projekt Red’s first Witcher game grew out of work on a PC version of Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance: after publisher Interplay ran into financial difficulties and cancelled the project, the studio repurposed its work into a game based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels.
3
The game’s quests often expand from seemingly modest requests into multi-part missions, and its large open-world areas are interwoven with Witcher contracts to hunt supernatural creatures.
4
The graphics comparison covers the previous 4.04 version against the remastered 5.00 patch, and notes that the new Path Tracing feature is exclusive to the PC version.
