- You will have fun with this game. Once they figure out all of the glitches, the game breaking and immersion breaking ones, the game has very little flaws. The story is very entertaining, the romances are heartwarming and fulfilling, and the stakes feel very real and very high. I found the most enjoyment in the side content, however the story both the main game and DLCs offer are very worth your money. Pay for this either now or when it goes on sale instead of wasting 70 bucks on a 15-30 hour long AAA slop game. You will get your money's worth.
- I don’t even think I need to say much. Quite simply, the best RPG of our generation. A timeless masterpiece.
- Que bueno volver a jugar esta joya y volver a recordar lo bueno que era y lo mucho que me estresaba Sardinilla 9/10 y a esperar el DLC
Criticism
- Sadly, this is a disaster at lunch on PS5. Seems like they have learned absolutely nothing from their next GEN update that broke the game for many people at launch. They just did the same BS again. If your controller has the slightest stick drift, it’s impossible to play the game due to your character moving permanently. How stupid can a multi million dollar company be to mess this up again?! Its ludicrous! How can this not come up during quality testing? Was there any testing?
- PS5 Slim. The ability to save the game breaks every 10 minutes. Menu settings reset automatically after exiting the game. Broken audio: voice lines in dialogues are almost completely inaudible, forcing the user to lower other sound effects to about 20% while keeping voices at 100%. Performance mode suffers from severe frame drops during almost any camera turn, sign usage, or cutscene trigger. The frame rate fluctuates heavily in 'Quality' mode, visually ranging from 20 to 35 fps. Quality mode looks even worse than before and is once again inferior to Performance mode due to highly noticeable ghosting during any movement—artifacts of aggressive anti-aliasing. The stamina and underwater breathing progress bars are broken. Autosaves cause severe game stuttering, making the game unplayable for 2–3 seconds. Fast travel between locations can spawn you inside boxes or cause you to get stuck. You can't roll back to an older version like you can on PC. What else can I say? Lessons have been learned from past mis
- I have a love-hate relationship with this game; it’s a bit toxic. Let me explain: I love the game, it’s super entertaining and the story is incredibly interesting, but at the same time, if I play it too much the combat feels repetitive and a bit tedious.I won't go into story details, but there's a point where you have to recruit people for a specific task. To get them on board, you have to complete the side missions you haven't done for them yet. So, there you are at level 30, doing level 5 missions, which completely kills the pacing. You’re at this super intense point in the story, but WAIT—you have to go grocery shopping with Triss like the good simp you are. I mean, I get that you have to do side quests to ask for favors, but it’s so tedious that I’ve had to take a break. Still, I really like the game and everything it offers

- The Witcher 3 Remastered doesn’t make the massive RPG feel like a new game, but it does tweak and enhance a number of facets that help smooth over the experience and bring out its best qualities. It’s a fascinating way to return to the shoes of Geralt of Rivia.
- Should you play it? If you have never experienced CD Projekt Red’s masterpiece, the answer is a no-brainer: dive in without hesitation. The Witcher 3 remains the gold standard for modern RPGs, thanks to its rich world, exceptional writing, and two powerful expansions. On PC, PS5, or PS5 Pro, you will enjoy the most stunning and fluid version ever created. On Switch 2, you will finally get a handheld experience that doesn't sacrifice visual immersion for portability, further enhanced by excellent touch controls. For those who have already explored the Continent from end to end, the appeal is more nuanced. While the pleasure of admiring the overhauled lighting is undeniable, the gameplay improvements do not fundamentally transform the combat mechanics, and the technical optimization isn't flawless. If you were hoping for a complete overhaul of the controls or brand-new content, this remaster alone doesn't justify yet another playthrough. However, it remains the perfect showcase for revisiting a game that—de
- Even for someone with relatively little experience in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s universe, the scale of the world, the branching narrative, and the stunning visuals make for an impressive title on so many levels. The new features, graphical upgrades, and inclusion of past expansions in Remastered only enhance what is already a game in the upper echelon of RPG greats, although there are launch issues that will need ironing out. Combat might be better than it was before, but it is still an area that lags behind compared to other aspects that are done exceptionally well. With integrated mod support, though, perhaps some of the most lacking elements could yet continue to improve.
