    Ведьмак 2, конечно не превзойдет 3 часть, ну это часть тоже не плоха. Что я могу сказать про эту игру? Это просто хорошее рпг для своего времени.

    There are a few technical bugs but that doesn’t effect whole game. The game is awesome

    Surprisingly, this game is not inferior to its successor. In some ways it's even better, especially in replayability

    The best Witcher game. Really good story, good gameplay, really good lore and sound design.
    My second favorite game.

    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.    … Expand

    The story is amazing. I would advise if you are going to play this game doing the side missions as well. Because if you don't (like me) the game becomes so much harder.

    The characters and story were phenomenal and complex. The voice acting was amazing. The RPG element is also beyond sufficient for an action-based game. 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.

The RPG element is also beyond sufficient for an action-based game. 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

    This game has a very nice story, and the graphics aged impressively. It just felt to me though that Geralt didn't quite listen to the controls as I'd like him to. The gameply is not as tight as it should have been. If you have ever played something like a From Software game or even The Witcher 3, I think you will find the controls dissapointing.

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.    … Expand

    The enviorment was also not as good, but we couldn't ask for more given the fact that this was made in 2010....

    Overrall, anyone who wants to try this franchise, and can't play TW1 because of how old it is, should just play this one first before going into TW3, it will give you soo much more knowledge about this world that when you go into TW3, you'll love it even more!!    … Expand

    Aun con todo esto, me gustaria destacar 2 aspectos mas: 1; Las decisiones influyen un monton, cosa que hace muy rejugable al juego. 2; Tine una gran cantidad de misiones secundarias, y estas son muy buenas, teniendo muchas un monton de cosas ocultas.

    Como tal, un ggran juego, y si tuviese que destacar algo malo seria que hay varios bugs frustrantes, y cuenta con una curva de dificultad muy aleatoria.    … Expand

She lacks character, she is boring and not charismatic at all. Her training to be a witcher is so ridiculous that I just couldn't watch it. No stamina, no energy, nothing. Ciri in novels was a badass, warrior, tough woman, not a weakling. The game shows Ciri as she should be. Yennefer looks funny, scared, unsure of herself, and sexless. 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. Is this the most powerful sorceress in the world? She looks like a frightened medicine student. Sorry, but this show is so disappoininting in the choice of the cast that ruins it.… Expand
