Critic Reviews
By Amanda Blain
Yup. This is still one of the best RPG games ever made. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition Next Gen Update offers a lengthy story with high-quality voice acting and stunning graphics. For players who are familiar with the Netflix adaptation, there are additional story elements to discover and exclusive armor sets that are inspired by the show. There are new ways to filter the map, new quick sign options, and many more quality-of-life updates. These added features enhance the overall gaming experience. It's a nice touch. The base game, as well as the expansion packs "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine," offer hours upon hours of content that will keep players engaged for a long time.

Although The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next-Gen Update isn't an especially noteworthy upgrade, the base game is so superb that the few things it does add are more than welcome.

With even more polished visuals, especially in terms of lighting and textures, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition expands the original experience with new items, a new mission inspired by the Netflix series and several gameplay improvements, not to mention a system for access saves on any device. Whether you're a veteran who can get your free copy of the new edition or a new player, this is a must-have title in your library.

A welcome update, The Witcher 3 is just as magnificent and engrossing as it was seven years ago. It looks beautiful, but still retains that rusty charm that sometimes creeps into a game so massive. Given that it’s a free upgrade, there’s no better time to get back into the world of Geralt and the Wild Hunt.

Albeit, they had eventually implemented significant changes, you could say the damage was already done. But with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s next-gen update, they have done more than enough to get back in many of those fans’ good books and are back on the right track.
