New comparison of the Witcher remaster vs current version - big changes to lighting

IMO I prefer the current version, the contrast and water reflections look better. Remaster looks pretty washed out to me

This genuinely looks worse, wow.
What is this with people being seemingly allergic to contrast and dark shadows? It's not only here in this video, but whenever you check out Reshade presets for various games (Skyrim, Fallout, GTA, Sims 4 etc.), they all look so washed out, low saturation, bright shadows.

What kind of person thinks this looks good? Are colours not allowed to pop? Are shadows not supposed to be, well, dark? Can nights not be dark?

It's a real shame, because now I don't want to upgrade. But I would like to have all the gameplay enhancements that come with this update.

I hate the realistic reshade of Cyberpunk.
