    Great and fun game, with interesting story and lore. The only possible downside I could find is that it does not offer a great number of side quests. However, graphic was much improved since the first game

    This is my opinion and I was incredibly surprised - it is much better to play with a pad than with a keyboard and a mouse. The game does not properly use what is the biggest advantage of typical PC control, i.e. aiming with the mouse cursor

    Есть игры которые проходят проверку временем и Ведьмак 2 к моему сожалению это не одна из них.

    Очевидно, что был приоритет на консоли того поколения из-за чего анимации, движения гг, боевая система, графика, интерфейс, управление, камера, геймплей просто ужасны, а про QTE я молчу и надеюсь в один день QTE навсегда исчезнет из игр и мы забудем это как страшный сон (интерактивное кинцо не в счет)
    Графика это какой то стыд...и поймите меня правильно если рассматривать детали, модельки, персонажей, то на 2011 год это действительно не плохо, но если рассматривать в целом, то картинка очень неприятная и сильно мешает восприятию игры мне пришлось целый час в файлах игры редактировать каждый параметр графики чтоб хоть немного улучшить ситуацию чтоб мои глаза не пришлось мыть в раковине после такого слоя мыла на экране и да убрать в настройках размытие и размытие в движении помогает лишь на половину, а также резкость/четкость в игре где-то на 7 шакалов из 10.
    Я наиграл всего немного и это были самые душные часы в моей жизни я не получал никакого удовольствия всё это время меня заставляли искать открытую дверь или проход среди 1000 закрытых и камера меняла своё положение, то это игра от 3 лица, то слешер, то платформер и вполне возможно если бы я поиграл дальше это превратилось в RTS. Я бы лучше месяц чистил карту от вопросиков на Скеллиге снова и снова.
    Как мне кажется это игра исключительно для того поколения консолей и она должна остаться там навсегда в том самом 2011г. В этот год вышло много игр в которые можно играть по сей день с большим удовольствием как например Skyrim, Portal 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dark Souls и второй ведьмак на их фоне это какая-то шутка.
    Восхищен каждым человеком который не дропнул её спустя пару часов вы настоящие мазохисты, ребята.
    Самое печальное в этой ситуации это то, что сюжетно Ведьмак 2 очень интересный, но затерпеть геймпленую часть лично для меня не представляется возможным.
    Если вы хотите действительно хорошую игру по вселенной ведьмака, а 3 часть вы прошли и изучили вдоль и поперек, то идите в первую часть это действительно один из самых недооцененных проектов.

Witcher 3'ü 170 saat oynamama rağmen bu oyundaki kadar sıkılmadım. Üstelik bu 25 saatte bitti. Combatlar eğleneceli değil, boss savaşlarında quick time event olması tam bir saçmalık, yan görev kalitesi witcher 3'ün binde biri bile değil (akıl hastanesi hariç), fast travel olmadığı için küçük haritalarda aynı yeri 100 defa yürümek zorunda kalıyorsunuz, para kazanıp veya item satıp satıcılardan bir şey almak imkansız çünkü aşırı pahalı (Bunu çözen bir mod var). Oyunda tek büyük bir harita yok, görev icabı gittiğimiz 3-4 harita var, onlar da küçük ve karanlık. Etrafta kafanızı kaldırıp izleyeceğiniz bir manzara yok, şehirler ölü gibi. Oyun eski bir oyun olduğu için küçücük engeli geçememe, karakterin kabızlığı, görünmez duvarlar gırla. Açık dünyada keşif ve macera hissi yok, şuraya da gireyim bakayım belki ilginç bir hikaye bulurum demiyorsunuz. Yine de denk geldiğim yan görevlerin yüzde 90'ını ve 3-4 tane contract görevi yaptım. Bir ikisi dışında ilgi çekici bir yanı yoktu.
    Artıları ise yan hikayeler olmasa da ana hikaye ilgi çekici, bol bol entrika var, görevlerin gidişatına müdahale edebiliyorsunuz yani yaptığınız seçimler oyuna etki ediyor ki bu bir rpg için hayati bir konu.
    Hikayeyi sevdim ama bazı şeyler saçmaydı. Geralt'ın hafızasını kaybetmiş olması ve hatırlamak için bazı maceralara atılmak zorunda olması ve bu esnada hatırlama şekli hiç ikna edici değil. Bunun yanında gittiğimiz ilk şehrin politik durumu, ırkçılık ve buna direniş iyi verilmiş.
    Skill ağacında açtığımız skillerin neredeyse tamamı istatistik geliştirmesi, oyunun oynanışını değiştirmiyorlar veya aktif bir yetenek vermiyorlar.
    Sonuç olarak hem kaliteli zaman geçirme hem maceradan maceraya koşma hem de duygusal bağlanma olarak 3. oyunun onda biri bile değil. Oyun bu kadar eskimemiş olsa ya da ben zamanında ve witcher 3 gibi bir şaheseri görmeden oynamış olsam daha çok sevebilirdim belki. Oyun eskimiş çünkü.

Боевка наверное более подходит для мира ведьмака, и она мне поначалу понравилась, но блин столько моментов, где ведьмак ударит то не того, то станет и пару ударов пропустит, если у противника идет какая это анимация, удар не проходит, а противники с постоянным магическим щитом, не делают игру интересней, а наоборот угнетает унынием. Бомбы бесполезная вещь, за игру только в начале попробовал как их использовать, и все за игру больше не использовал. Прокачка настолько ленивая и пресная, что у меня еще осталось 5 очков в конце игры, просто не было что прокачать что мне бы подошло. Зелье также настолько не интересны что кроме ласточки больше ничего не использовал, а то что они 10 мин лечат, это такой бред, и перед боем надо задийти в медитацию и просто смотреть как ведьмак их пьет и нельзя скипнуть заставку, и лечит она как на меня медленно, а то что во время боя юзать нельзя, это такой минус. Геймдизайн он красивый и красочный, но блин это просто лабиринт, в первом Ведьмаке как-то пободрей было. Но вот кого б я за яйца подвесил так это тот кто создал и выполнил мини карту, она убер не удобная и кривая. Квесты парочка интересных есть, а вообще большинство квестов и не интересны и однообразны, что капец. Графон завезли и он реально красивый, и окружение прекрасное, но лабиринт портит впечатление. Сюжет основной, мне не зашел, так как и в 4-5 книгах, эта политика мне была не интересна, поэтому сюжет как на меня слаб. Expand

Geralt's voice actor delivers a great performance though.

    If you want to play it for the story though, it is well worth picking up on sale, just putting on an easier difficulty and blasting through (don't miss the side quests though!).

    There are a bunch of mods on Nexus if that's your kinda thing. I'd give this a strong 6 - 6.5 if I could.

    More than a worthy sequel for The Witcher.
    A big improvement in this game is the combat, much more modern and fast, but it is very punishing and the biggest problem is that Geralt has a wide range of animations for fast attack and another for strong attack and the game decides which one to choose RANDOMLY! That means getting hit because the animation chosen was not the one the player

That means getting hit because the animation chosen was not the one the player wanted.
    The fact that you can import your decision from the first game to this one is SO F****** COOL! Makes you feel that you impacted the world and now is just following the story that you began, it really feels amazing.
    The story is a great mystery with a lot of thing to discover, and twists to unravel, all in all a very good story that feels grounded in this universe but still it is not as memorable or as good as the first one. It's definetely not bad, grandier and with more worldly impacts but less personal in a sense.
    The music and sound keeps the same beat (hihi) as the first one. The voice-acting in this series is top notch and every character feels himself in this universe.
    The graphics are the second biggest improvement, with more money to spend after the first one the team could focus a bit more on this aspect and makes this game a lot better to watch and appreciate.
    The biggest improvement is definetely just a well rounded more polished game, a lot of risks were taken in the first one, and a lot could just barely be done to be noticeble, in this one all of them were continued and had much more time to develop, the details of everyday life or simply what already exists and will keep existing after geralt are what makes this universe so appealing.

Solid combat, great sidequests, very good story and characters, great graphics for the time, superb soundtrack, very well detailed world( despite beeing small and linear), this game is so much underrated, it deserves much more appreciation.

Said QTEs are not optional mini games either, they are incorporated in the boss battles, which is just infuriating.
    What THE WITCHER 2 gets right is the the character building (which they unfortunately scaled down for THE WITCHER 3): you can make many different builds with proper skill trees that actually make for different gameplay. I also like the tactical aspect of the combat (not the combat itself, which is mediocre): you cannot heal during combat. Potions have to be consumed before you enter combat, so if you want regenerating health, you got to plan ahead and drink those potions (which don't last forever) before you iniate the encounter. Graphics are really good for 2011 and the voice acting is sublime with Doug Cockle reprising his role of Geralt.
    The main campaign splits after the prologue into two different paths before coming together to the final act which is lackluster and feels rushed. As is typical for CDPR the side missions actually outshine the main campaign.
    However, the combat is mediocre: fast attack - left click, strong attack - right click, roll with space (which I don't care for, I mean who in their right mind would ROLL around with a sword and in armor?!). It's simplistic.
    But what destroys this game for me are the QTE's. Even though in the Enhanced Edition there is the option for "easier QTEs" but they are still annoying and hard (during boss battles). But they are used for just about everything: fist fights (mini game): QTEs. Dagger throwing (mini game): QTEs. These are (mostly) optional, but if you want to max out experience levels you need to do them.
    Thus it's a 5 out of 10 (AVERAGE). It's the weakest in the series. Without the QTEs this would be an 8 out of 10. If you don't mind QTEs then this might be for you.

Las misiones no estan tan desarrolladas como en The Witcher 3 pero ya apunta claramente el estilo.

    La musica y el sonido no son tan espectaculares y el combate deja bastante que desear. Los menus son bastante complejos y los controles nada intuitivos. Algunas misiones secundarias estan bastante bien pero los contratos son repetitivos e innecesarios. No hay variedad de enemigos y hay jefes que puedes matar con tan solo apretar rapido el boton de ataque. Es bastante lineal hasta para la epoca y nada intuitivo.

    I fell in love with the concept of the Witcher franchise after watching the Netflix adaption of the novels and decided to tackle the games. My thoughts after finishing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition are as follows -- how on Earth did this franchise make it to a third game?
    I'm not trying be grouchy here. I'm genuinely interested in where the budget for the scope of this game's sequel came from. The first game, while I did have a fair amount of enjoyment in it, was certainly no crowd pleaser with its stilted combat system and, while it had a strong fanbase, it had no broad audience of consumers, surely. Yet enough so to fund this game, and this is where it really surprises me.
    The 2nd game in this franchise is without a doubt suffering from middle child syndrome. The series hit its teen years and boy did it have an awkward time in high school. But enough beating around the bush: specifics, shall we?
    Let's start with the narrative. By all the means the first act of this game created an intriguing setup. Mysterious assassins of your own order killing monarchs, but why? And as much as the bad guy is quite the charmer (not just me, right?) and there does exist a sense of political intrigue it falls short. The 2nd act is worthily lengthy, but seems to tackle other issues entirely. The plot, the fickle mistress it is, races back in the third act after its absence becomes noted too many times this semester and hands out all the answers in a 5 minute cutscene and 5 hour optional conversation with the final boss. If I could teach you one thing about plot pacing it should be this, the Witcher 2's pacing is a big no no. You get pulled in, dawdle around for 20 hours and then have the biggest info dump in the last hour before an unsatisfying conclusion. No no.
    But awkward as it is, the story suffices for this rpg. Where the game really faults, is in the.. well.. the game. I can understand that some love this combat system for its difficulty, but hark I say. What a way to go about it. It's not difficult because of intelligent AI, enemy variation or puzzling scenarios to fight your way out of. No no. It's difficult because it's one piece a way from a collapsing Jenga tower. Movement in and out of combat is as far from 1 to 1 as a developer would dare go, which is made more noticeable by the fact that Geralt will get stuck on the tiniest root or pebble on the ground, particularly horrific in the jungle chapter where roots hidden by low brush abound. So good luck getting anywhere when an enemy is charging your kneecaps. Of course, you'll have to try anyway because dodge rolling like you were going down a steep hill covered in baby oil is the ultimate strategy to any fight. Blocking is as useless as a Virtual Boy emulator and you have to unlock countering later on if that's your fancy. So dodge roll all day, but you still won't get anywhere. Have fun.
    Speaking of levelling. I'm still not entirely sure there is a levelling system in this game. Though there appears to be one on the surface, it seems to only be there to serve as narrative progress and not character progress. No representation of your hard work here. An entire side quest to kill a hive of monsters (as a witcher is like to do) will net you a tenth of a level, yet watch a few narrative important cutscenes and pick a couple of dialogue options and level up 3 times. It's not like it doesn't make any sense, but unsatisfying doesn't cut it. Try 'complete and utter trivialisation of your input in favour of a few cheap one liners and some side boob.' Then again, I'd value the latter over hard work any day.
    Overall, unless you're really into tackling obtuse challenges or really into the witcher that you need to soak up as many white hairs as possible to make your biologically mutated brush blush, I'd steer clear of this one. And it's likely you already have if you'd played its sequel, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. There's no doubt that much of the audience that picked up that game for its critical and commercial success didn't bother to go back to these first two entries and if they did, many of them quit at the door. Which brings me back to my original question; how did the third game even happen? Now I haven't looked up the commercial success or development history of this entry to get my answer in order to maintain a false illusion of ignorance to give this review flair, but still...
    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings doesn't value your input or time. It's a decent looking game discounting the ridiculous amount of bloom and contrast in sunny areas of the game that blind you like a quick gander at the sun... from 3 metres away. But otherwise, I cannot recommend this game.

    Love this game so much! One of my all time favorites. Can't wait to play it again. Great atmosphere, amazing world. Lot's of fun and exciting side quests. A way of getting to know the amazing characters in The Witcher universe more. Speaking of the characters there are so many cool characters in this game. Some of my favorites from this world.

    Pros:
    - The characters. They feel like real people, there are some stereotypical yet recognizable heroes. For instance, Zoltan feels like the most generic Slavic hornydog. People prone to make dumb moves out of greed and eager for power.
    - The side quests are as exciting as the main story.
    - So many storyline choices that keeps your brain enabled while playing this game.
    Cons:
    - Combat is a joke.
    - Protagonist's moves feel super-clunky and unnatural for 2011 standards. Even Gothic 2 and Gothic 3 feels smoother in this regard.
    - It just way too short for 2011 RPG even if you beat all side quests you can see.
    All in all, I am regret at the moment I've come across Skyrim instead of Witcher 2 9 years back. This game is surely better in general.

    I like this game's story. Only reason I have given this game a 4. The combat just drags this down too much. If it was a little bit more refined I would give this game a solid 8/10 but the state that this was released in is so bad I cant bring myself to give it anything higher.

In fact I feel a little **** even giving it a 4 to be honest because this game has the worst combat system I have ever seen in a game. I was just playing the part where you have to fight Dethmold and a legion of mercenaries and he is able to hit me with his lightning through a massive rock in the middle of the room. At one point my swings were just going through him. They weren't even connecting they were just passing through his model. The dodge in the beginning of the game is so useless your only options of avoiding damage are to block which is unreliable since you still take damage and costs you a point of vigour or to interrupt the attack with a sign. Even when upgraded the dodge is still unreliable since damage is dealt out in a wide range instead of the tip of the sword. Terrible game and I can't describe here all of its faults but if you hate games with glitchy, unrefined, broken combat then I HIGHLY advise for you to avoid this game. The story isn't enough to warrant playing through this. The atmosphere is way better in the first game and I recommend you play through that one instead of this one. Expand

    Witcher 2 is much better looking than its predecessor, the story is very complex and can go in many different paths, and the characters are great, but because of that the game was made pretty short. If you play two or three times to see more endings it's a full length game.

    Después de jugarlo en su momento, un año o dos después de su salida, fue el primer juego de la saga The Witcher que jugué y a pesar de ser tosco y difícil para mí en aquel momento me gusto mucho su trama y lo que podía llegar a ser su sistema de combate en The witcher 3.

    A día de hoy he jugado y completado al 100% esta segunda parte y solo puedo decir que me ha encantado aún más, es cierto que el juego en ciertas cosas es tosco y se hace difícil y que muchas veces no te facilita nada, ya que te explica lo suficiente para continuar y poco más, pero ahora habiendo jugado a muchos títulos del genero, habiendo jugado a The witcher 3 y controlar mucho más de RPGS, he de decir que esta segunda entrega esta entre mis favoritas de los RPGS.

    Tiene decisiones que repercuten en este título y en el siguiente, decisiones que en este título cambian completamente tu run, ya que literalmente este título son como dos juegos. Según el camino que elijas vas a jugar una historia o otra, con otros personajes, ciudades, misiones y no es a pequeña escala, es completamente de locos lo que cambia según el camino y las decisiones que tomes. También hay gente que ve esto como algo malo, para completarlo al 100% tendrás que hacer diversas partidas, eso es cierto, pero es tan distinto el contenido y se siente tan bien realizado que aparte del inicio, si tomas el camino contrario al que pillaste en la anterior run literalmente no vas a jugar el mismo juego, asique puedes considerarlo como una expansión o como realmente se plantea en el título: "¿Que habría pasado si hubieses elegido este camino distinto?".

    El juego esta muy bien, es más corto a cambio de muchas más opciones y cambios en todo, pero la verdad esque las secundarias, ciudades, principales, items... están bien hechos sea el bando que sea que pilles, no hay nada que este menos cuidado ni nada por el estilo.

    Buen juego, tal vez un poco difícil, pero muy buen título y buena opción para iniciarte en la saga The Witcher.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was not the biggest hit back in 2011. While it garnered sales and praise at its release, it hasn't been consistently mentioned like other games from that year (Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3), which is unfortunate, because the game is really good.

While it garnered sales and praise at its release, it hasn't been consistently mentioned like other games from that year (Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3), which is unfortunate, because the game is really good. This game is impressive even still to this day, with some caveats, obviously. But something the game succeeds immensely with is the immersion into the world. It feels lived in and like it could exist in a real place (ignoring the magical factors). The huge trees surrounding Flotsam, the warm beaches and mountains of Aedirn, and the ravished ruins of Loc Muinne creates an inviting motion to the surroundings. The music also helps invest the player in the world, which is bombastic during battle, and hauntingly somber during conversations and slower moments. Even though the character presentation is at best decent, the environments are truly epic, which also translates to the story. The intriguing narrative is focused and ambitious, yet clever and self aware. Playing as Geralt of Rivia hunting down the assassin of King Foltest, Letho, is riveting from start to finish. The story is so good much thanks to the characters. Geralt of Rivia is an all out bad ass, while Vernon Roche is a cunning operator. Dandelion brings in comedic effect with his funny remarks and King Henselt brings in darkness with his tragic family drama. Even the side-quests have some level of depth, not always being as straight forward as you might initially think. The game is based around you the choices make, which unlike most games actually have huge impacts on the narrative. You might never see certain characters or view people differently depending on the actions of Geralt, and it helps make your actions have more weight to them. Even though the ending might occur in the same place, the journey there and the character's positions might differ hugely. The writing is immaculate and impressive, captivating the player and not making the narrative too hard to follow. The only confusing part might be character's names if you haven't played the first game, but if you read the extensive journal, you'll be quickly caught up, and stuck in the game's politics. The only big issue I have with the story is the final boss, which fizzels out disappointingly, however you choose to play. It neither feels rewarding, nor impressive, but that's solely because of the build-up to that moment (during the epilogue). But that's a small nit pick, because afterwards it feels satisfying, and worth the time to get there, it's more about the build-up to the fight. When it comes to gameplay, it's a bit of a mixed bag. All the content is existent, from responsive combat, to dialogue choices, to preparation before battles (from potions and oils), it ties in with the character of the Witcher really well. The problem arises when it comes to execution. Character's might bug to actions, your character get's stuck in the environment sometimes, and brewing portions and oils is confusing at times, much cause from the questionable user interface. Even though the game world isn't massive, it could've helped with fast travel when traversing back to main areas, or level design could've been improved to make it go faster. I don't hate the gameplay, I quite like it actually, it's just rough around the edges and there's room for improvement. The game truly shines in it's writing and world-building, which raises it above some of it's rivals in the genre. The game just sucks you in, and keeps you engaged all the time. While the game lacks in polished gameplay, it makes up for in interesting character's and the interactions between them. It might not be Skyrim, but it's still damn good and worth your time. Expand

El paso hacia adelante que dieron en el aspecto grafico lo dieron hacia atrás en cuanto a calidad de la historia, es buena no digo que no lo sea pero, sentí que le falto ma contenido por agregar, el juego se me hizo mas corto que la primer entrega, y honestamente se siente como un DLC de cualquier otro juego del genero, 3 Capítulos de la campaña principal y misiones secundaria, no repetitivas pero, bastante pasables, no suelen aportar gran cosa pero para avanzar te sientes forzado a hacerlas (al menos en dificultades altas). Me hubiera gustado que incorporaran personajes secundarios del primer juego, pero parecer que los dejaron a un lado junto con todo el reino de Temería. Me gustó que incluyeran otras escuelas de brujos y hagan mención de los recuerdos olvidados de Geralt, pero no todos ni los mas importantes. En general este juego me dejó un sabor agridulce, buenos gráficos pero siento que se desvió mucho de la historia del primer juego. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The witcher 2 is a massive improvement on the first witcher game in every aspect and after playing this game i have huge respect for cd projeckt red because they learned from their shortcomeings and listened to their fans. but dose the witcher 2 stand the test of time ? now 9 years old.

    Story: continuing from the first game somewhat unfortunately . what dose a witcher do when he is done tracking down a gang that attacked his family and the finishes off a secret order trying to kill him ? well he fights a war and engages in politics. but wait now you are top suspect in the assassination of your kings :O but wait the assassin is a witcher like you and knows who you are :O but wait this was a plot by the mages :O with an even bigger plot attached to that :O geralt's life is a mess, because of his skills and occupation he is often sucked into conflicts bigger than he is. often times he will try to remain neutral but in certain cases that's never an option.
    Story: 9.5/10

    World building: the witcher's world is dense and packed with lots of lore , every character has their place in the world and every character has logic that makes them move through it. the witcher 2 dose a better job at portraying this than the first one, i know what the mages role in the world is now and kings all of these now feel more like occupations than these things of great power. all haveing internal power struggles. the writing just gets deeper and deeper in its lore
    World building:9.5/10

    Graphics: now this game looks a little out of date but considering how how clunky and awkward the first game looked this one is great , the models and animation was extremely awkward though story scenes , animations in combat are better but still a tad clunky. characters are really well designed , greatly improved from the first game. the game looks almost comic booky in its style melded with a very fantasy novel cover aesthetic and that is easy to get behind
    Graphics:7.5/10

    Gameplay: this game is hard but i liked how hard it was because when you do things right you feel like a ninja witch is what i think the story needed, the combat feels more like an extension of geralt as he does have these ninja like skills , its telling the story through the game play witch is always a win and that is just a byproduct of a good combat system. just good it can definitely be improved as save points were infuriating at times and the combat did feel unfair sometimes but the difficulty made you feel all the more awesome when you did pull off the win. essentially this game is a dark souls with a more cohesive story
    Gameplay: 8.2/10

    Sound design: this is probably the most disappointing part of the witcher 2 , everything else is a vast improvement and i'd be remiss if i didn't say that the sound design wasnt improved because it certainly was but some of the voice acting was awkward at best , doug cockle as geralt improved immeasurably though . the music is good it's definitely found its style gospelic battle music and fun tavern music. the sound effects how ever got old fast for me , iv heard oh ohhhhh geralts death grunts a million times and that drove me to the point of quitting ( for the night) a few times
    Sound design: 6.2/10

    The witcher 2 is a great game and improves a great deal upon the first game especially in combat you can feel the devs finding what works for this type of game by looking at their competition and learning from them, witcher 1 feels like an out dated bioware game , witcher 2 feels like a dark souls with a better story and the witcher 3 well you will have to wait till i write a review for that one

    A detailed progression system, interesting characters and wartime gray morality — a perfect example of a good rpg game. Bad sides: optimization, sometimes boring quests and short game itself.

    First of all, I want to say this. I have never played RPG games until now. Witcher 2 is probably my first RPG game. I finished the game 4 hours ago, and and I can definitely say this game, is very good.

    Combat system is stunning. Mixing sorcery with sword play, dodging, blocking. Storyline is perfect, it absorbs the person. Voice actors are great. Although the game was released in

    Although the game was released in 2011, it is still good at graphics.

    But i hate a part of this game. Press a button to open doors? to climb ladder? or to climb anywhere or jump from anywhere? Maybe a little detail, but annoying.

    Перехід на сучасніший геймплей (клік клік перекат клік), графіка на той час дуже пристойна.
    Дуже класний, інтенсивний сюжет, який як на мене нагадує DLC Кам'яні серця до 3-го Відьмака.
    Проходити мінімум 2 рази, так як половина сюжету йде 2-ма різними шляхами. Ну і Трісс Мерігольд, яка попала на обкладинку Playboy!

    Großartiges Rollenspiel. Tolle Handlung, tolles Gameplay und authentische Welt. Leider sind nicht alle Nebenmissionen spannend.

    In comparison with Withcer 1, is evident the progress in the graphic, and in part, also in the gameplay. The story is shorter, the land is a bit less vast as the first, but in general it get many improvement. Also the battles are nice. Pretty the scene of sex.

What i don't like is the plot, that is very chaotic, since there are so many kingdoms, kings, wizards, knights, orders, reference in the pasts, that make you crazy to collect and assemble all together, since all is quite new and linked to something new. I ask myself if you need to read all the books and study all the story to understand better. Within this chaos, you only continue with the described path quite well, but you don't understand why and what is happening. Is like to be in the middle of history, without a fresh mind, and no knowledge of nothing. At the end was: ok I killed a lot but what happened? Expand

    Thanks to that part of the game, because I began the fan of all series. Since my childhood, I hadn't been satisfied with the old Polish tv show - The witcher. But after finishing Witcher 2 the game I read all the books, change my opinion about the TV show and played all the games related to this. So personally for me, it's the beginning of the Witcher universe!

    Playing through the trilogy atm. After (barely) enduring the first game I can just say that this is where they got their **** together, totally holds up in 2020. Good graphics and very good storytelling.

    A few complaints though: - The difficulty curve. The first part of the game is very hard as your max health is extremely low. All hits taken from random peasants takes like 50%+ hp.

    A few complaints though:
    - The difficulty curve. The first part of the game is very hard as your max health is extremely low. All hits taken from random peasants takes like 50%+ hp. Did almost never die in the later parts.
    - Random crashes or bugs, npc's blocked me or passages at times, making me have to reload a previous save.
    - The save files is too big / inefficient, so my steam cloud storage got full for this game, so the game kept crashing before I manually deleted the saves and turned off cloud sync.

    Apart from these things, I think this game is worth your time. Specially if you're interested in the Witcher story.

    Sehr gutes Spiel! Einzig das Problem mit der deutschen Fassung machte mir zu schaffen. Das Spiel kämpfte in der deutschen Version bei mir und laut Forum einigen mit Abstürzen. Dank einem Fan-Patch konnte ich es dann doch glücklicherweise auf deutsch durchzocken. Ansonsten fand ich das Spiel wirklich super. Ein paar Spielstunden mehr hätte ich sehr gerne

    Not as good as the first one but still pretty good. Great quests, characters, overall world design. But combat is too simple and basic and its kind of forgettable also lack of graphic options.

    Un juego extremadamente corto, pero con una gran rejugabilidad por su historia que se divide dependiendo de las decisiones, las cuales cambian totalmente los mapas y las conversaciones, ademas de una gran dificultad, y escasos recursos, un gran juego

    I had enjoyed the first game, its dark setting in particular. Having heard Witcher series gets better with every game, I am utterly disappointed. The Witcher 2 at its core is a bad game and its flaw lies in its design. From the controls to the movement mechanics and combat, t is very obvious that Witcher 2 wants to appeal to console gamers. Yes, the graphics and voice acting are good. TheI had enjoyed the first game, its dark setting in particular. Having heard Witcher series gets better with every game, I am utterly disappointed. The Witcher 2 at its core is a bad game and its flaw lies in its design. From the controls to the movement mechanics and combat, t is very obvious that Witcher 2 wants to appeal to console gamers. Yes, the graphics and voice acting are good. The intro cinematic is one of the best I have seen in video games. Story is good enough and the script writing is top notch. However, in terms of “gameplay”, Witcher 2 is terrible. The game makes you feel like a mouse in a labyrinth because very often, you can only walk within pre-set boundaries. Combat is overall quite boring and there is not much monster variety. Overall gameplay can be described as watching long cutscenes, running to a quest marker, get involved in a tedious combat, do some QTEs and loot stuff that you will probably never need. It also doesn’t help every chapter is worse than the previous one.

    This is a game with a good story and narrative but poor gameplay. I was planning to play Witcher 3 right after this one. The Witcher 2 changed my mind.

    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.
