10 Video Games That ACTUALLY Deserve A Remake

After Cyberpunk 2077’s infamously disastrous launch in 2020, developer CD Projekt Red could do with a project guaranteed to propel them back into gamers’ good graces.

What better than The Witcher? The fateful beginning of a series that last saw everyone’s favourite white-haired monster hunter retiring to Toussaint with a cemented greatest-of-all-time reputation under his belt (thanks to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), the original Witcher doesn’t exactly hold up.

Despite the excellent writing CDPR die-hards have come to expect, fans who joined the series through the second or third games are quickly turned off by old, immersion-breaking graphics and comparatively clunky movement.

Let’s face it: Witcher 1 Geralt fights less like a mutagen-enhanced killing machine, and more like a blindfolded 5-year-old at a piñata party.

While a 4th Witcher game has been announced for development, with legions of new fans and renewed interest thanks to a slate of Netflix book adaptations, I can’t think of a better gift to the franchise than to relive that fantastic original story in sweet, sweet next-gen HD.
