Resume or Restart: A Dive Into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a colossal game that fully justifies its size and scope. However, even the most engaging games can sometimes slip from our attention, ending up in the vast universe of the “Backlog.” Perhaps another new game caught your eye, or life's responsibilities interrupted Geralt’s journey. Either way, the sheer size of The Witcher 3 might have been a bit overwhelming.

Regardless of why you left The Witcher 3, returning to the game is completely feasible. Not only that, but as one of the best games of the last decade, it’s definitely worth it to cross The Witcher 3 off your list of unfinished games.

How Long is The Witcher 3?

According to gaming time resource, a straight run of The Witcher 3’s main story will take you about 50 hours. If you dive into extra side-quests and activities, you're looking at 100 hours. A full completionist run edges close to 200 hours. The first expansion, “Hearts of Stone,” averages 10-20 hours from the main story to a completionist run. Meanwhile, the larger second expansion, “Blood and Wine,” offers a 15-hour main story, with up to 40+ hours of content if you aim to 100-percent it.

Indeed, The Witcher 3 is a massive game. There’s no denying that. Its side-quests are worth the effort. It’s hard not to want to do everything in The Witcher 3 once you really immerse yourself. But if you’re strapped for time, the main story is long, but very doable at 50-ish hours.

Resume or Restart?

Let’s say you find yourself staring at a Witcher 3 save file from years ago. Should you just jump back into that one? Or is it better to start up a new game?

Sometimes starting from fresh is the best way to begin clearing a game out of your backlog. If you struggle to remember just about anything from your last time with the game, you might be better off just hitting New Game at the start and taking everything in fresh.

When I first started playing The Witcher 3, I took a break for about four months. By the time I returned, I struggled to remember the plot and the characters. Loading in, I realized I’d forgotten all the major NPCs, most of the mechanics, and had a massive inventory of stuff that felt overwhelming to sift through. So I started a new game and ended up 100-percenting it. The Witcher 3 became one of my absolute favorite games of the 2010s as a result. Don’t underestimate the value of starting afresh with a new game, ready to immerse yourself in something as if it’s the first time.
