    The first game is very dated and not recommended to play. CDPR admits it themselves and wanted to do a rework of the game, but that was said years ago, and IDK if they did it or not.

    You can play the 3rd before the 2nd game and be just fine, because the two story lines are not completely connected, only with references and side content. Same with the first in the series.

    The 2nd game is much shorter than the 3rd, and is not open world like the 3rd is. I liked both games, and didn’t played the first.

      How did you make it through the “sneak through the enemy encampment” bullshit? I really liked the visuals, and cannot tell you how much I loved that first gigantic Kaiju kraken fight, but for the love of God that sneaking mission was bullshit!

        It’s been a long time since I played those games. I need a little more detail on what exactly you are referencing. I probably should play W2 again, because I remember less of that game than W3.

          It was so long ago I only remember tidbits. But it was fairly early. I fought I giant octopus and some camouflage creatures in some woods, then I remember meeting (or tracking maybe) the king slayer in an area that kinda looked like the ayeliad ruins in oblivion. Then it was night and I had to sneak around this army encampment with tents and shit. I’ll probably just try again with a guide one of these days, but that didn’t cross my mind back then.

            Had to look it up, and there are different paths in Act 2, and I chosen Roche over Ioreth’s. I don’t remember any sneaking missions because I didn’t take that route. I should play it again with the other route.
