    а теперь самое вкусное - боевка, для нее отдельный абзац. 7 анимации максимально всратые как будто ты играешь на за убийцу чудовищь из пробирки а за бухого бомжа отмахивающегося палкой от белочки, 8 поломанные не только хитбоксы но и тайминги нанесения урона ты можешь получить урон после атаки или в момент замаха когда атака еще не прошла, 9 на тебя натравливают толпы врагов в то время когда боевка расчитана на дуэльное проведения боя тут мы получаем что невыделеные противники вообще не пролучают урон а хочешь чтобы получали качай перк и дело не только в этом 10 в игре нет комб но есть серии атак которые ты вообще не увидишь играя на сложности средняя и выше потому что после одной две атаки противники начинают блочить а при ударе в блок срабатывает у геральда анимация на протяжении которой в него с радостью снимут пол ебала если не все, 11 плохая мобильность в игре есть некоторые атаки которые с дешем но они срабатывают рандомно и это уже 12 пункт кстати то что некоторые атаки гаральда происходят рандомно и очень часто не кстати, 13 такое чувство что в игре две сложности легкая и все остальные легкая слишком скучная все остальные слишком душные еще слышал в начале игры можно выбить чертеж на эндгеймовый шмот сам не проверял пускай это будет фантомный 14 недостаток, боевка напомнила готику 3 кстати там абсолютно теже проблемы ну точно такие же.
    я лично при игре в нее получал один лишь стресс игра максимально не справедливая какой только может быть, минусов столько много что я не увидел за ними плюсы игры, сразу забил и играл на легкой сложности за все время прохожденя удалял игру раз 6 и заставляла меня в нее вернутся только настольгия если бы не она то избавился бы от этой игры еще на прологе.    … Expand

    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.

There were a couple of story routes I could choose from and many small decisions I could make, which didn't significantly affect the story, but were very satisfying. I loved seeing characters from The Witcher 3 and learning more about them. Using the signs was also very enjoyable. Although, Yrden was quite useless, as there are too few instances where you have to use it, once with some wraiths, and once with a boss battle.

    Combat, on the other hand, felt like a chore. Fighting with multiple enemies was a nightmare, more so when surrounded by them. Then, the controls become unresponsive and clunky. Other than that, it was reasonably decent. The dodging mechanic was kind of clumsy. Another thing I could criticize is the level design. At times, you get a mission objective on the other side of the map, and it can be difficult and very boring to navigate through space, without the help of quick travel.

    The audio mixing was not well done. At any certain music/voiceover sound level, sometimes you don't hear the voice acting due to the music. Usually, you do. I know I can change the settings, but I don't want to deal with that each time this happens, and then change it back. Also, there were some bugs with the voice. Sometimes, I heard every noise, but the voice acting just didn't work. Another bug I noticed was at some point, in between two chapters, the game would just black-screen. I had to Google it to solve the problem, but it only happened once.

    Overall, very solid game. Was a memorable experience, except for a few cases of very frustrating battle designs.    … Expand

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

    A very good surprise, really liked the graphics, considering it is from 2011, the style of combat and voice acting. The choices you make in game trully matter and you can choose to play as a real witcher would. It lacks some diversity of monsters and to me it was too much about game politics and a bit too complex in the begining for me that haven't read the books or played the first game.A very good surprise, really liked the graphics, considering it is from 2011, the style of combat and voice acting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
    I liked the Combat System and Storyline. I can feel that I am really fighting. Character development feels good. Choices make difference in the game.

    Cons:
    Default camera FoV (Field of view) creates motion sickness. Camera FoV can’t be adjusted. There’s no key-binding in the settings menu. When we change perspective to fight with different characters, instinctively I want to dodge roll but I can’t. As a result, I got confused whenever that happened. Sometimes NPC gets stuck on the doors. When the sorcerers are about to teleport I can see their teleportation position for a split second. System sound can’t be adjusted while playing the game    … Expand

Where is the powerful, wicked, sarcastic, sexy, mature Yennefer gone? There is no chemistry between her and Geralt. She's not match for Cavil. She is more like a daughter to him.
