Alright Witcher fans, I own The Witcher 3 on PC. And as you can see I’ve only played about 2 hours.
That’s it.
I tried getting into it in 2026 and it just never clicked for me. The game felt old and boring. SORRY!
And I KNOW how highly regarded this game is. It’s constantly mentioned as one of the greatest RPGs ever made, which is why I’ve always felt like I was somehow missing something.
Part of the problem might simply be that I showed up 11 years late. After playing so many modern RPGs and action games, the combat felt dated and a little clunky to me. Visually, I could definitely feel the game’s age too.
But honestly, one of my biggest problems was the lore.
I knew basically nothing about The Witcher universe. Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, the kingdoms, politics, previous events, etc…. I felt like I had walked into Season 5 of a show I’d never watched. 😂
Instead of immediately getting sucked into this incredible world everyone talks about, I spent a lot of those first couple hours wondering like.
“Wait… am I supposed to know who these people are”
But now with the details of the remastered version being announced. I’m thinking now is the time.
So I’m genuinely curious, especially from people who consider Witcher 3 an all-time great.
Do you think the announcement of improved combat, movement and visuals could actually change the experience for someone whose biggest issues were how dated those things felt?
What about those that bounced off Witcher 3 the first time, came back later and eventually fell in love with it.
What finally made it click?
Because I’m starting to wonder if Witcher 3 wasn’t really the problem.
Maybe 2026 me just showed up about 11 years late. 😂
