My hands-on time with the Witcher 3 next-gen update serves as a reminder of just how well Geralt’s adventure holds up to this day. While the upgrade polishes the experience with improved graphics and a host of welcome features, I can’t help but think about just how engrossing the story and quests still are, even if I’m experiencing them all over again. The storytelling is what pulled me right in when I first stepped into the world seven years ago, and nothing’s changed in that respect. The hours I spend with the game swiftly pass as I soak in all the new options and quality of life additions through various quests. But time and again I keep thinking about just why it so successfully continues to hook me in all these years later.
