As the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=epJHZo082pY\" target=\"_blank\">first video<\/a> in the series notes, it&#8217;s Ganszyniec&#8217;s first time playing the game in &#8220;almost 20 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The game has certainly aged\u2014it was admittedly rough the day it dropped\u2014but it was an ambitious game that&#8217;s easier than ever to play now with <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-witcher\/if-you-never-played-the-original-the-witcher-rpg-then-heres-a-heads-up-the-censorship-free-enhanced-edition-is-now-dirt-cheap\/\">the overhauled Enhanced Edition<\/a>. It&#8217;s overshadowed these days by the other two fantastic Witcher games, as well as the multiple TV shows and spinoffs the fantasy novel series has inspired, but it still stands as a big milestone in CD Projekt&#8217;s history and stands tall as a worthwhile RPG. It may not be the best, but it&#8217;ll always be the first.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s got <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-witcher-cd-projekts-first-game-is-getting-a-full-remake\/\">a full remake<\/a> on the way, which Ganszyniec says he hopes will be good toward the end of his let&#8217;s play series. We&#8217;ve come a long way since 2007 <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/how-sex-in-the-witcher-evolved-from-gotta-catch-em-all-pinups-to-meaningful-relationships\/\">in more ways than one<\/a>, and maybe it&#8217;s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/why-remake-the-witcher-when-we-could-remake-something-much-worse-instead\/\">good enough to not even warrant remaking<\/a>, but either way, the original is still there and worth remembering. If 19 years of fermented jank is too much to bear, this let&#8217;s play might be a good way to get a sense for what you missed all those years ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"2c86e1da-2fae-44a2-8820-3d6038db2bd3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lead-story-designer-on-the-first-witcher-game-just-rolled-credits-on-a-full-playthrough-and-you-can-watch-the-whole-thing-on-youtube.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"2c86e1da-2fae-44a2-8820-3d6038db2bd3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-witcher\/lead-story-designer-on-the-first-witcher-game-just-rolled-credits-on-a-full-playthrough-and-you-can-watch-the-whole-thing-on-youtube\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;That was a very satisfying half of the year,&#8221; begin Artur Ganszyniec&#8217;s closing comments as the credits roll on CD Projekt&#8217;s original Witcher game from 2007.
