The Witcher is still the best RGP game, and the novelty from CD Projekt RED is not good enough for him.

In connection with the recent release of the sensational Cyberpunk 2077, fans of the Polish studio have started heated discussions about the best game from CD Project Red. Undoubtedly, the release of a frankly raw version of the game significantly spoiled the experience and tipped the cup in favor of the adventures of Geralt of Rivia. Here you will find 5 main reasons why The Witcher 3 is better than Cyberpunk 2077.

Big map

Despite the fact that The Witcher 3 is 5 years older, it technically has a larger map, at least horizontally. The enthusiasts did some calculations, and it turned out that the overall game world of The Witcher 3 was a little larger – 136 square kilometers up from 110 in Cyberpunk 2077.

Throw in two expansions and the game world is much larger. Naturally, Cyberpunk will add several conditional content sites in the future, but at the moment the witcher is winning by a wide margin.

It is more advanced technically

Cyberpunk 2077 certainly needs more time in the hands of developers, especially for the console version of the already penultimate generation. It’s a sad sight to play it on PS4 or Xbox One, given the low resolution and heavy load on outdated hardware. With the latest updates, the situation has become less critical, but it’s still far from high-quality and smooth work.

The PC version is actually the most advancedbut was still full of bugs (on release day) and had a fair share of performance issues. The Witcher was not even close to the scale of the problem at the time of release, not enough to guarantee a refund and an apology from the head of the company. Plus, years of improvements have made it even more stable.

Length of gameplay

Since it was released five years ago and has several DLCs and expansions on board, naturally The Witcher 3 – Longer Game… But even if you only take the base game into account, it’s still longer than Cyberpunk 2077’s rather short 20-hour main campaign.

The statistics cannot be fooled, the average time to complete a new game from CD Project Red is 20 hours. Add side quests and that time will almost double. The Witcher only in the base game has about 50 hours of main story gameplay and over 100 hoursif the player gets distracted on the way to side missions.

Great legacy

Cyberpunk 2077 is a relative newcomer to the RPG genre compared to the more established brand The Witcher 3. The series has an excellent base in the form of books no worse than A Song of Ice and Fire, as well as an excellent TV series starring Henry Cavill.

When players want more from The Witcher after playing a third game or watching a TV show, they have the ability to easily download older games. After completing a rather short main mission, players in the new franchise have only one choice – to dive into the board game that inspired CD Projekt Red.

More philosophical stories

When it comes to inviting critical thinking or lulling with philosophical reasoning, not many games can match the Witcher. Even the main character has become the personification of a moral crossroads and an existential crisis.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a more raw and dynamic work, often leaving the players no meditative moments to reflect on the meaning of their actions, instead, he suggests focusing on the drama and events as they are.

The problem is that the story of Geralt and Ciri plays with deeper moral dilemmas and tries to appeal to the deepest human experience.

Without a doubt, a more complete comparison of the pros and cons of the franchises should be done after the release of all Cyberpunk add-ons, as well as major optimization updates. At the moment, both options have strengths and weaknesses, just one of them is a completely finished product, and the second still needs some work.
