How to have the best experience with the first Witcher game in 2022

The Witcher - Opening cinematic of Geralt using a magic sign to fight a striga.

CD Projekt Red’s original The Witcher RPG from 2007 is getting on in years, but the Witcher universe itself just keeps growing. We’re due for more Netflix shows, several more games from CDPR, and other adaptations likely too. The first game is even getting a remake, CDPR has announced. Until that remake arrives in several years, though, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition from 2008 is where you’ll find the roots of Geralt’s current popularity.

I’m not gonna lie: The Witcher shows its years. I started the series there myself, stubbornly, playing the trilogy in order, and nowadays I typically caution friends to start with the newest game and only head back to the original once they’re well invested in the world. My first adventure with amnesiac Geralt was rife with bugs, crashes, and freezing and I eventually made it to the end fueled primarily by spite. There’s a great RPG buried under this old mess, though—let me help you find it.
