    Excellent game, just finished it this week and it still holds up by today's standards. For me it's a step up from the first witcher game; the story is great, quests are interesting, you have different paths with several endings, you can change difficulty on the fly.

    Game is impressive, you can see the step up from witcher 1. I was stunned as a kid of the world cdp created. This whole series needs a remaster to be put in one new edition. Let new generations enjoy witcher as it should be.

    There's not much to say. It's a very successful game and still has good looking graphics. The gameplay is also much better than the first game. You are missing a lot if you haven't played it.

    The npcs in this game are hilarious. Investigating a deep conspiracy plot while some dude in the background shouts "me bum itches" at himself for no particular reason.

    One of the best RPGs of all time! I can't believe the many choices that completely alter the entire game! You have so much freedom and the game reacts to your difficult, grey choices. Almost no other game does what the Witcher 2 does. It's soooo good!

    Excellent sequel!
    The story and characters are still great. The graphics are amazing. And this time the combat system is MUCH better than in the first part. Combat is fun and challenging, not irritating and boring. I also believe that smaller, more filled locations are better than The Witcher 3's open world.

    Not as good as the third witcher game, but still a good one. I love the QTE sequences and a few other mini-games that were unfortunately not in the third game, e.g. dice or arm wrestling

    The Witcher 2 com certeza é um belo jogo.
    Havia jogado apenas o 1 e pulei direto para o 3.
    E posso dizer com tranquilidade que em questão de história, narrativa, sidequests e personagens esse é o jogo mais interessante da franquia. O jogo é fluido, belo, com diversas resoluções, com o melhor do RPG que pode se esperar de um jogo The Witcher.

    The combat is pretty bad but I love the characters and the main story, and especially the different choices you can make. The antagonist is really cool and the atmosphere in this game is AMAZING.

    This was one of my best discoveries back in 2013
    This game was much better than pretty much everything I played by that ime and still is. Great mature plot, all kinds of leasure, atomspheres of taverns, hot girls, many endings, multiple major plot branches - this game has everything,

    Although the controls and some of the game elements are a bit dated by todays standards, the game still absolutely holds up. Visuals are still quite good, and it has an immersive story with great replayability.

I've been through this game for a long time. The developer is the Polish company CD Projekt RED based on the series of novels "The Witcher". On PC, this game was released on May 16, 2011. We are all gamers, we perfectly remember part 1, which blew everyone's head off, with its coolness and quality. And I'll tell you right away, I won't torment you, the second part turned out to be worthy, no worse than the first. We start the game, also for our handsome, witcher Geralt from Rivia.

    According to the plot, everything is pretty cool and interesting, in the middle of the game it can change, depending on which step, action, development you choose yourself. Initially, Gerald will be framed by a mysterious killer who had "witchy" eyes. He will kill King Foltest, and Geralt must regain his honest name, unravel the confusion, and find out why he was framed, and why the real killer needed it.

    A series of strikes have been finalized, combos have become much more beautiful. In general, the whole game has changed and has become significantly better. Well, as for the textures of the game, some objects in the distance are also poorly visible, and the developers did not waste time and megapixels on them. Although this does not affect the beautiful picture as a whole. There is a lot more of any abomination in the second part, which allows you to pump Geralt much faster. We can also choose how to upgrade our character, and I paid special attention to magic spells, I really like them.

    Based on everything written, this game deserves these points. Rarely when the second, third parts are better, but here we see a real rise, despite the fact that the first part was super. I advise everyone to play and get into this game, but I advise you to play both parts in order to know who you are playing for. And I almost forgot, not in the cut-out game, in the original, there are scenes of a bedding nature, and I would not advise people under the age of 18 to play. The Herald character really fell in love with gamers, and if you haven't played this game, know that you missed something, and it's something very cool and worthy of the time spent on it.    … Expand

    The Witcher 2 easily stands amongst the big boys in the CRPG crowd and is also the best Action RPG to come out since Mass Effect 2.

    The Witcher 2 offers awesome sword fights, cool graphics, charming characters, a compelling story, lots of bare skin and a decent shot of vulgar conversations. Damn good.
