A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The first Witcher definitely has clunky controls. But 3 is a masterpiece. 2 falls somewhere in between.

I think 2 is almost equally or more of a masterpiece as 3 when considering how extremely rare truly branching path story games are.

In that sense yes, but IMO it falls a little bit short on multiple fronts.

That was my general impression, which is why I figured I'd play them in order. Going back might be less fun.
