Publishers nowadays are in the habit of rereleasing their
major games a year or so after launch, packaging them with all the DLC and
add-ons and calling them “Game of the Year” Editions, so it’s no surprise that
The Witcher 3 will be getting the same treatment at the end of this month. So
what’s different? Nothing, really, except that CD Projekt Red’s 2015
masterpiece is one of those titles that can call their product the “Game of the
Year” without anyone raising an eyebrow. It’s an unofficial title to bestow,
but The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is a once-in-a-generation sort of game.
The conclusion of the Witcher trilogy does so many things
well, and anyone who has yet to play it can fork over fifty dollars rest
assured that it’s money well spent. Hell, if anyone is getting ripped off here,
it’s the publisher. There’s enough content in this package, between the main
story, the sixteen add-ons and two DLC episodes to last for months and the
amazing thing is, it manages to stay fresh from start to finish.
