ye Crossroad of Ravens, it's solid stuff. lil babu Geralt on his first quest learning the ropes. ending hits hard.
I recalled it playing fine a few years ago, other than the combat just being rock-paper-scissors, and the inventory management for alchemy stuff, which I have to assume the remake will streamline the fuck out of for controller users. I really should get back to it some day, but I may just jump straight to 3 at this point.
If I remember right, the cross-save feature in it allows transfer between any platform yeah? So I can just beat it on my PS4 (I grabbed the "Complete" disc awhile back when it was fire-saled), then eventually pick up whatever the new DLC-bundled release will be for PC and run that new content there.
i wouldn't call how 1 played fine even on release and it only feels more dated and janky with the passage of time
the fundamental problem was they tried to smash a third-person action-RPG within Bioware's Aurora Engine which was designed for top-down isometric CRPGs like Neverwinter Nights. thankfully they abandoned it for REDengine in 2, which holds up quite well to this day. they're all in Unreal 5 today tho so farewell RED u gave us some beautiful bangers.
1 was super rough, even on release. 2's combat was leaps better but still kinda garbage poo poo and very off putting. Wasn't until 3 where I felt the combat was making me drag my balls through glass.
