Overview
The Witcher 1 lays the foundations for the video game adaptation of Geralt of Rivia's world. Investigations, monster contracts, alchemy and combat unfold in a universe where moral decisions rarely come down to an obvious choice between good and evil. The cities, swamps and countryside crossed along the way serve both as territories to explore and as settings for the political and social tensions of the Continent.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings focuses its story more closely on rivalries between kingdoms, alliances and the political consequences of Geralt's decisions. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt then changes the scale considerably with a much more open world, vast regions and a multitude of side stories that give greater importance to the inhabitants, creatures and conflicts encountered along the road.
The Witcher Remake ultimately brings the series back to its starting point by offering a new interpretation of the first game. Its presence alongside the trilogy makes it possible to look at The Witcher's journey in both directions: observing how the formula evolved across the different entries, then returning to its origins with the tools and ambitions developed long after Geralt's first steps on PC.
