As some of you already dived in, The Witcher 3 got a new-generation update on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The update brought many changes, like new graphics, a bit of new content, and new gameplay additions. The new-generation patch was available for free to whoever had already bought the game. Well, CDPR became successful with this patch, and the fans gave it a high rating. With the current situation, The Witcher 3’s new-generation versions beat God of War Ragnarok on the Meteoritic chart. That’s funny because God of War Ragnarok is an entire game that has been anticipated for years. The Witcher 3 and its DLCs are also CDPR’s masterpieces, but are the Metacritic results fair? Well, that’s a big question, here are more details about the competition between these games.
The Witcher 3 Beats God of War Ragnarok On The Metacritic Chart
Currently, on Metacritic, The Witcher 3’s PS5 release got 95 points from the reviewers; and God of War Ragnarok is on 94 points. Their points were equal yesterday, but the reviews are still publishing for The Witcher 3. This isn’t something that will make Sony go crazy, but God of War Ragnarok had a fantastic launch and got very positive points. The other thing is that The Witcher 3 is only a new-generation patch. It seems like the fans still love this game, even after eight years since its original release.
Probably most of The Witcher 3 players already dived it in before. But the new graphics are worth seeing, and the patch might make the reviewers hyped for nostalgia. But as a result, God of War Ragnarok was a good sequel, and it didn’t disappoint us. Comparing games is not true, especially when they are two AAA games. The lesson from this paradox is that a new generation patch could make a masterpiece shine again.
