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.

There's a bundle that includes the first two games as well for like an extra buck I think. Buy them and then never play them and feel bad about it.

or be like me, play Witcher 1, then play other stuff for 12 years, then start replaying it again to go through the whole series this time, then take a 6-months break 2 chapters in... 😅 (yea, I have issues)

I love its atmosphere and writing, but the jank...

Witcher 1 really has old-school difficulty syndrome. Getting past act 1 was a nightmare for me, then somewhere around late act 2 the combat became trivial and I could just stunlock everything.

The Witcher 1 is best played on the easiest difficulty. Just play it for the story.
