They’ve come out and said specifically this is a tech demo in the world of the Witcher 4 but its not actually witcher 4 the game. As in, they’re showing off the new tech, like foliage nanite.

I’m playing it right now, and ots actually a lot of fun. Exploration feels fun still like doom 2016 and Eternal, and you have different murder mechanics to choose from in the midst of a hundred enemies. I’d say the reviews are right.

Now, that being said, I think i still like 2016 better, but they both have a very different feel from each other.
