I've spent the last few days moseying around The Witcher 3. Specifically, The Witcher 3's new, remastered edition (The Witcher 3 Remastered), which gussies up the now-11-years-old game with new lighting, textures, and other assorted remaster gubbins.
As ever with these sorts of things, there's already a back-and-forth about whether the new graphics are an improvement or a downgrade on the game we had already. Personally, though? I think it looks great. More than anything else, it's the lighting that keeps stopping me in my tracks, particularly around sunset and sunrise. The Witcher's war-crime-stuffed world has never been more sumptuously lit.
So here's a gallery of the various times the game stopped me in my drags with some artful light shafts. A little good news: if you don't like the new look, for whatever reason, the game's Steam version already lets you roll back to its classic and "next-gen" versions, so you're not stuck with the new graphics.

One of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since. His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. He'll play pretty much anything, and has written far too much on everything from visual novels to Assassin's Creed. His most profound loves are for CRPGs, immersive sims, and any game whose ambition outstrips its budget. He thinks you're all far too mean about Deus Ex: Invisible War.
