Trust me, the nay-sayers in other comments are the outliers and/or outright payed negative reviewers. If you enjoy DnD, you will most likely enjoy this, even if you never played a Larian game before. If you are a returning Larian players, it's a no brainer, you WILL love it. Trust me, it's good one!
Since it's release in 2016, I have considered this game to be the best RPG ever! With the highly anticipated "Next Gen Update" out, I have read many articles/reviews about how many players are experiencing glitches, low frame rates etc etc. I was a bit sceptical at first, but I loaded up a new game+ and noticed my frames rates at 4K, were indeed on low side with Ray Tracing activated and DLSS at quality. I was getting maybe 30-60 FPS in high density areas, like Novigrad. On rare occassions I did get some lag or stuttering, but it was rare. Then, I decided to see what the game would look like at 1440P resolution. I was pleasently surprised, at 1440P with RT set to max and DLSS at quality and all settings set to high or ultra, my FPS never dropped below 100. Now I know, alot of people won't want to sacrifice 4k for 1440P, but I have to say the game still looks gorgeous, especially with the new RT lighting and shadows. Whatever the issue is, I am guessing that setting your game to 4K resolution just adds too much demand on hardware for PCs at this point without some more optimization from CDPR. I have been playing the next gen now for 13+ hours with no issues at all at 1440P. Here are my PC spces: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 12 Core (3.8 GHz) RAM: 32 GBs GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti OS: Windows 10
Please let me explain, This game is amazing, especially considering the time contraints given to Obsidian after the success of the original. Now the reason why this WILL NOT WORK, is because the GOG version is not the updated game by Aspyr studios. Aspyr studios is the studio contracted to do the remasters of this game for PC and moblie systems. That is the reason it works for the Steam version, if you look closely at the game details on Steam it clearly states the game was developed by Obsidiand & Aspyr. I wish GOG had the version too but they don't.
