More Witcher Is Exciting
Especially With The Spotlight Off Geralt
As beloved as Geralt has become,I’m eager to see how CDPR tells a story where he’s not the main character.The Witcher 4has the benefit of being part of a massiveworld filled with interesting characters, so allowingsomeone else to shine is a great idea. I don’t thinkThe Witcher 3: The Wild Huntwas the flawless gem it’s often touted to be, but it’s a great game that I hope sets a decent precedent for the next installment.
