    With few imperfections, the Witcher is one of the most enjoyable games to play. Decorated with beautiful worlds, great attention to detail and impeccable swordplay, punctuated by entertaining and well polished character interactions, sharp and original dialogue, it's unfair to give the mammoth development effort any less than an 10/10.

    I love this game, really one of the best games I've played in a very long time. This is what an RPG should be, excellent story, excellent gameplay, stunning visuals, reaslitic dialogue, and a unique alchemy system. I really can't think of the last single player RPG I've enjoyed this much. Kudos CDProject for delivering an amazing gaming experience.

    Already an absolute masterpiece in my eyes a year ago, and this update has launched it to easily the best RPG I have ever experienced (and I've played most). It stuns me just how shallow many of the reviews of this game are, dismissing it as a whole on account of one or two flaws, such as load times or not liking the combat model (which is highly subjective)

    One of the best games ever made. And I have played a lot of rpgs. Consistent story, original themes, choices that effect later game. This version of the witcher is by far a huge improvement, while all the details are not instantly apparent, they show themselves to you until you finally realize the scale of added details. Fantastic masterpiece.

    The game is exceptionally mature in many aspects. It doesn't hold your hand too much, but only slightly pushes you in the right direction, letting you make the decisions yourself. A game that doesn't treat you like an idiot five-year-old nowadays is a much needed breath of fresh air.

The gameworld is not a fairy tale world with a simple good versus evil nature, but is very grey, which forces you to think and sometimes make hard decisions. The gameworld is very immersive thanks to very good graphics, and a world that feels very alive. The fighting gameplay is good and varied enough to keep you entertained while the story progresses. If you are a fan of RPGs, or games with good stories in general, do not miss this modern classic! Thank you CD Projekt for developing the best game in years!… Expand

    Excellent game! After I have been so disappointed by latest Gothic III game which virtually wasn't playable even in latest version - this game made me absolutely excited. Somehow similar to Gothic series but more realistic, with a very nice and believable characters and sophisticated story and quests. This game is definitely worth to buy and play (for several times).

It's a game for adults, and I don't mean the much-maligned sex cards. It's a game where the story really matters, where the player must make serious moral choices, where instead of Good and Bad, we have lighter grey and darker grey. The people in the slums swear, and the people in the rich section of town are stuck-up. And the fighting animations are GORGEOUS! They did motion capture with professional stunt men to do the animations for combat, and the player character is amazingly graceful in the beginning. As the game progresses, he goes beyond graceful and becomes downright acrobatic -- there were times when I wished it were possible to automate the fighting so that I could watch it more closely, and I've never thought THAT about a game before! I could go on and on, but I've said enough. This is the best RPG I've ever played, and I've played a LOT of 'em.… Expand

    The Witcher is the greatest momement in RPG history since Gary Gygax added more sides to his dice. The Witcher team has created a dark, stunningly realised world, full of great characters and satisfying moral choices. A 9+ is the only mark you could give this gaming achievement - its that good. The reviewers that gave this game a 4 were either not to bright or distracted with a ball of string.

What I found was a franchise that was true to the heart of a classic CRPG player. I was amazed to find that I enjoyed it much more than Dragon Age and The Elder Scrolls games. It is not only more enjoyable but the writing is fantastic. This is largely due to the fact that it is a game based off of an accomplished author's work unlike similar series where a group of average writers write an average story and later if success has been had, the best of the average writers writes an average novel. By the way, the novels are great. I only wish they would keep publishing the rest of them in English.

    Excellent RPG and best storytelling since Planescape:T. It has interesting concept of blurring the lines between good and evil, there is no truly "good" or truly "evil" choice. The combat gameplay is its only flaw.
    And this game is the only one that has alchemy system that I actually wanted to use and had a lot of fun doing so.

    One of the best games I have ever played. The Witcher is a new kind of RPG; one that allows the player to make choices that actually affect the world.

The Witcher is a new kind of RPG; one that allows the player to make choices that actually affect the world. Some modern RPGs, such as Mass Effect (2) allow some of this, but with The Witcher, you are making choices left and right. And these choices change how later levels play out. One particularly important one changes how the final 5 hours of the game plays. I also loved the combat, and if you play the game enough, you will too. Most people who say that they dislike it are right in doing so, because the whole concept revolves around combos which you unlock as the game goes on. And if you only play until the second chapter, then there is no unlocking being done, and therefore the combat is depthless.

    Another area where the game excells is in story. Though the english translation can be a bit spotty at times, and voice acting can be a bit poor, all the important characters are well voiced. The story is rich with backstory, and there is a living world behind you. This is the only game where I have ever considered going back two hours in saves so that I could change one of the choices I made.

    The graphics are also quite nice, though compared to modern standards, they are a bit behind the times. Of course, the game is now 4 years old, so that is to be expected. The lighting is beautiful, and there is a full day/night cycle.

    There are only two areas which I dislike: There are some "impossible" boss fights. If you fail to prepare for them, they are quite hard, and the game doesn't do a very good job of warning you that they are about to occur. The other thing that I take issue with is how easy it is to miss some quests. If the quest isn't a primary quest, then it is usually given by some NPC. How was I to know that I should randomly go into the blacksmiths' house? I don't know. You can sometimes miss large parts of the story, or atleasty backstory due to this. Luckily, there is a good wiki for the game, where you can check to see that you have done all required. Just watch out for spoilers on there, they seem to be in the most mundane places!

    To close this up, The Witcher is a great game for any RPG fan. If you don't have it, get it.    … Expand

    And what can I say about the morality? No black and white, no heroes and knights, just people trying to live their lives, choices and consequences.You WILL find yourself in many situations where there is no good or bad choice, no wrong and right choice - and choosing the lesser evil is a path you have to consider.

Really this game is like an engrossing novel. Without spoiling anything. This game is sporting the best twist in a game or show I've ever seen.
    Its a game that doesn't condescend. It is made for adults. (Unlike so many RPGs these days). The characters are characters. No one feel one dimensional. And the characters drive the plot.

    I liked how when given dialogue options the character took your suggestion and said something along those lines but different. It added an element of unpredictability to dialogue.
    The whole thing with toxicity. Potions have a toxicity value. If you drink your way over 100 you die. As you get close to that point you see red flecks floating across the screen. The whole world changes when you drink Cat. All these things added a flavor to the game. Its like the first 2 Max Payne games. It has a style all its own. Its a game you play because your following the story and want to see what happens next.

Not recommended for newcomers and people who like straightforward action, this is an rpg and requires character development and understanding of what things do and how the skills work. It promises a ton of hours of fun and certainly delivers. I'm starting to read the novels and at first the changes in the language of the characters, using swear words and so on felt kind of out of time but after a while I grew used to it and makes the narration more lively and lessens the tone in some of the heavier dialogue parts. I prefer this sort of tone than a recreation of how the characters would sound like at the time. It's on sale on Steam and certainly is worth the price!

You must read the Andrzej Sapkowski novels, which are the best books I've ever read and they make the story line much much clearer.

    Classic RPG feeling, really good story, important decisions, interesting characters, nicely improved point&click combat system, for the time surprisingly beautiful visuals, humour, fun mini games, extensive alchemy, but what stole my heart the most were 2 things - setting and music. Impressively portrayed environments, not the typical dragons and crazy colored high fantasy, but rather more realistic medieval and darker European setting, I just loved exploring these locations, villages, cities, farming summer fields, forests and swamps. And on top of that, what truly glorifies this title is absolutely stunning soundtrack that fits every location perfectly and creates unforgettable moods, captivating you in its atmospheric embrace.

    All the problems I heard about The Witcher such as the long loading times, bugs and crashes seemed to be all fixed in this enhanced edition as I never came across any problems and could enjoy this delightful RPG experience 100%.

    Extremely pleasant surprise and one of the best titles in the genre. Now I'm just worried whether the next TW chapters will be even able to live up to this gem. 10/10    … Expand

I had been a fan of the Witcher books long before this game was announced, unlike vast majority of the fans in the West. And so when it was announced that this game is going to be made, I was really sceptical. A new Polish game studio, with very little experience was trying to recreate that unique Witcher atmosphere in a AAA wannabe format? No chance anything good can come of that, I thought. Boy was I wrong! I still remember my first playthrough. Not only it wasn't a disaster, it was actually great. And they nailed the Witcher atmosphere. Lets talk about that for a while. I truly believe that the Witcher is quite unique. Sure there are other, much more brutal and vulgar and obscene and visceral fantasy worlds. But I love the Witcher world for being, at its very core, truly cynical. I just love that. And the developers truly managed to transfer this feeling to this game, which alone is a praiseworthy achievement. But there is so much more to this game. The graphics is very good for its time, with the somewhat bleak colors brilliantly portraying the somewhat bleak reality of the world. The loading screens and story decision cutscenes art is just awesome. The music is great, it fits the Witcher world perfectly. The main theme proved to be such a hit that it remained a main theme (with some changes) for both successor games. I always liked the Murky Waters tavern song, such a merry wedding song in the midst of all the suffering and war. The main story itself is actually very short and quite simple, and honestly, I do not think the mutants were even necessary, but it works anyway. Mainly because it is very often intertwined with the many secondary storylines and together they make a great game. The prologue is a tutorial, Act I gives you much more, but essentially it is closed off and can be considered an advanced tutorial. Then Act II and III are pretty much connected and in my opinion, this is the best part of the game. The game turns into a grim detective genre and again it works excellently. The game does not hold your hand, you must make your own deductions and reach your own conclusions and you can easily make a mistake, which will cost you. The characters are great, believable with typical bitter Witcher sense of humor. Then Act IV takes you into the country, but problems follow you there and add to those that are already there. In Act V you pretty much reap what you sowed. Epilogue gives you the obvious and expected ending, but with one (almost) hidden twist, that you can quite easily miss, which puts it all in a different perspective. One thing that the game has been criticised for is the combat. It is unusual, bit weird, bit repetitive, but it was not a problem for me. I got used to it quickly and then it felt normal ever since. The game does get a bit too easy towards the end, even on the highest difficulty, but that is a normal thing for RPGs. The talents are almost all passive, but with a quite a lot of freedom, so especially sign oriented builds definitely deserve a replay. The next thing I want to mention is the choices. You are making choices almost all the time, some are felt immediately, some are felt only much later, some are not felt at all, but they still affect the world in major way, even though you do not even know about them. Almost like the real world. In the most general sense, you can choose between Humans and Nonhumans. Or you can refuse to choose and remain strictly neutral in a Witcher way. It is great that you have that choice. Throughout the game you can also partake in drinking competitions, bare knuckle fighting and of course the excellent dice poker. One last thing: the romance. This game offers you basically two major romance options and then plethora of trysts (including a tryst with Triss, which can turn into a major romance spanning all three games). Your achievements on the fields of love are then forever recorded in the forms of in-game collectable cards with paintings of said females in often quite revealing positions. One of the greatest gaming ideas of all times. And all these things together make up the fantastic atmosphere I mentioned before. A bit dark, a bit sad and really cynical. I have nothing negative to say about this game. I played on PC and completed the game in about 50 hours. Naturally, no microtransactions and no SJW. A Witcher 1 remake is now in development and once again I am pretty sceptical and cynical about it. It will be open world, which might change the gameplay drastically. I truly hope none of the modern world SJW netflix cancer will affect this remake. By the way, don't you dare touch the sex cards.

    The Witcher is a fantastic game, that was somehow followed by two even more fantastic games. The more I play this excellent game, the more I am convinced that the remake is utterly unnecessary. Final Verdict: 95 %    … Expand

El juego hace todo lo posible para dar vida al mundo y los conceptos temáticos de los libros, y lo hace impecablemente bien, a la vez que agrega un sabor original de fantasía popular a la experiencia. TW: EE invierte a fondo al jugador con susThe Witcher: Enhanced Edition es un juego de rol de fantasía, basado en la serie de libros The Witcher (1993-1999) de Andrzej Sapjowski. El juego hace todo lo posible para dar vida al mundo y los conceptos temáticos de los libros, y lo hace impecablemente bien, a la vez que agrega un sabor original de fantasía popular a la experiencia. TW: EE invierte a fondo al jugador con sus abstracciones filosóficas meticulosamente diseñadas e historias de personajes que involucran emocionalmente; las fallas del juego palidecen en comparación con estas fortalezas. Pero bastantes bromas, mi compañero Witcher, vamos al camino.

    Tú, eres Geralt de Rivia - The Witcher. Un Witcher es un humano genéticamente modificado, alterado con el fin de obtener habilidades sobrehumanas, lo que les permite matar monstruos que afectan a la raza humana. Uno pensaría que esto haría que los Witchers fueran venerados como héroes en la sociedad, pero sus increíbles atributos físicos son irónicamente vistos como antinaturales, lo que los convierte en parias sociales y en un mal necesario percibido por la mayoría. En TW: EE, una organización secreta conocida como Salamandra ha robado los mutágenos que producen Witchers genéticamente alterados. Se convierte en tu búsqueda, como Geralt; para rastrear, exponer y destruir este conglomerado, así como recuperar los secretos de Witcher.

    Como se dijo anteriormente, los videojuegos The Witcher son continuación de las novelas de The Witcher, de las cuales hay dos antologías de cuentos y cinco libros en la saga principal. Se expanden sobre el mundo de The Witcher con infinitos niveles de profundidad, y leerlos antes de jugar mejorará diez veces tu conexión emocional con los eventos del juego. TW: EE contiene abundantes referencias a los libros a través de sus citas, temas y tradiciones, y captar estas devoluciones de llamadas es un verdadero placer. CDPR manejó el tema de los libros con manos expertas, y este juego es una verdadera secuela de las novelas como resultado de su arduo trabajo y cuidado.

    En cuanto a la apariencia y el sonido de The Witcher: EE, diría que le va bastante bien casi una década después. Los gráficos eran de gama alta para su época, y todavía tienen un cierto atractivo basado en el arte, sin embargo, no se comparan con nada lanzado hoy. Los ambientes son muy hermosos y estructurados de manera realista, pero los detalles más finos; especialmente rostros humanos, no aguantes en absoluto. Por otro lado, la música es casi perfecta. La banda sonora siempre encaja donde se presenta, y las vibrantes y exóticas melodías son muy responsables de crear la increíble atmósfera y el ambiente de cuento popular por el que TW: EE es conocido.

    Otro aspecto fenomenal de la escritura son los personajes. Cada persona en TW: EE es especial e indispensable por una simple razón; Todos se presentan de manera realista, con los defectos y las emociones de las personas reales. Nadie se reduce a ser únicamente un arquetipo de fantasía estereotípica, ya que todos tienen complejidades ocultas en su historia de fondo y motivaciones moralmente cuestionables para las cosas que desean; que siempre son lógicamente justificables en el contexto adecuado. Estos personajes dirigen las historias y motivan al jugador a preocuparse profundamente por sus decisiones.

    Para rematar la aventura narrativa, la elección del jugador es omnipresente durante todo el juego. Hay múltiples decisiones difíciles de tomar sobre los eventos importantes, y varias razones para favorecer cualquier camino dado. Esto pone peso detrás de sus elecciones, ya que cada decisión que tome podría traer devastación; cada elección podría conducir a un mal mayor. El juego muestra hábilmente que comprende la importancia de la consecuencia, ya que el epílogo no es más que una prueba mordaz de ti como Geralt de Rivia, y las elecciones que has hecho durante la duración de tu partida.

    Aunque es cierto que soy muy parcial debido a mi obsesión con cada ápice de esta franquicia, reproducir TW: EE me ha ayudado a darme cuenta de que es uno de mis diez mejores juegos de todos los tiempos. Aunque de alguna manera es un desastre evidente, hay tanta experiencia narrativa y un encanto atmosférico completamente único en este juego, que no puedo negar que estoy enamorado de manera justificada e irracional. The Witcher: Enhanced Edition es como tu primer perro; es quisquilloso y complicado porque no fue entrenado correctamente, pero lo amas incondicionalmente debido a la conexión personal que formaste con él. The Witcher es un clásico absoluto, y siempre lo será, a mis ojos.    … Expand

    Good game if you like to complete side quests (they are very interesting and don't boring). Many people say that fighting is **** but I think it is amazing. I haven't already play other Witcher.

    Had to give this a 10 because i saw it's the lowest rated witcher game, while it's actually the best. Period.

    Great story, even if game was made years ago. If you are a Witcher fan, it is obvious, that you must play it.
    And those Geralt jokes, always same "positive" attitude.

    Story is great.Mechanics are hard to adaptation but after that, not bad. Atmosphere is great.

    Игра конечно устарела, но если вы осилите первые часы и привыкните к механике, то перед вами откроется шедевр!!! Атмосфера и музыка в этой части лучшая в серии. Короче 10/10

    True masterpiece from Poland. The best thing on this game is the unique slovan athmosphere.

    My fav singleplayer game, and I would recommend this game to anyone. Great story, OST, gameplay, anything. Controlling is not even that hard like people think. Also lotta mechanics and variability in builds, as well as the choices you can make, will definitely make you replay this game at least once.

    My favorite Witcher game, very close to Witcher 3. Great story and characters, just like in the books! Some says that combat is not so good, but I think it's at least has some variety compared to the typical action-rpgs.

    Может ли игра в 20 лет влиять на мировоззрение? Я считаю, что да. Ведь, в 20 лет пройдя данную игру, я получил от нее столько же эмоций и впечатлений, как и от игр, которые я проходил в 10-11 лет, то есть, она заставила меня так же, как в начале игрового опыта, сопереживать персонажам и воспринимать все совершенно по-новому, словно в первый раз, словно я не знал всего, что от нее можноМожет ли игра в 20 лет влиять на мировоззрение? Я считаю, что да. Ведь, в 20 лет пройдя данную игру, я получил от нее столько же эмоций и впечатлений, как и от игр, которые я проходил в 10-11 лет, то есть, она заставила меня так же, как в начале игрового опыта, сопереживать персонажам и воспринимать все совершенно по-новому, словно в первый раз, словно я не знал всего, что от нее можно ждать. В The Witcher под нашим управлением оказывается ведьмак Геральт, персонаж серии книг Анджея Сапковского, но он потерял память, и для него все, что происходило в книгах, незнакомо, поэтому он в каком-то смысле заново знакомится с миром, а мы вместе с ним (правда, не совсем понятно, как он при этом по-прежнему владеет боевыми навыками, алхимией и магическими знаками - камень в огород приема с потерей памяти). Все мои впечатления от игры не уместить в одну рецензию, поэтому постараюсь как можно более кратко описать их вместе с игрой. Потерявший память Геральт оказывается в Каэр-Морхене, на который тут же совершается нападение и крадутся ведьмачьи секреты. Вместе с другими ведьмаками он отправляется на поиски в разные части света, посещает предместья Вызимы, саму Вызиму, квартал за кварталом, болота, Темнноводье и другую часть болот. На пути ведьмака возникают различные опасности, начиная со всевозможных тварей и монстров и заканчивая людьми, так или иначе потерявшими человеческий облик. В арсенале присутствуют серебряный и стальной меч, а также двуручное и одноручное оружие, которое можно поднимать у врагов и покупать у торговцев, как и доспехи. Игра сделана в духе классических RPG от Bioware, к тому же на ее движке. И все равно она поражает проработкой и улучшениями, добавленными непосредственно от CD Project Red. Как минимум графика для 2007 (2008) года смотрится очень хорошо. Что еще я могу по ней сказать. Сюжет - выше всяких похвал, серьезно, здесь присутствуют как хорошие клиффхенгеры, так и закономерные последствия выбора игрока, которые особенно ярко проявляются в финале, и нельзя сказать, какая концовка наиболее удачна - мы всегда выбираем "меньшее зло". И этого бы не было без простых, но глубоких диалогов и персонажей с их особенностями. Осталось мне пройти "Ведьмак 2" и "Ведьмак 3", и я наконец полностью проникнусь вселенной и серией. 10 бутылок спирта из 10.… Expand

    The best RPG I have played in a very long time. I can't possibly cover all the reasons to experience this game; please do experience it though, you will not be disappointed. Think of all the RPGs that have been over-hyped only to not deliver - bland, shallow, characterless... This game is the polar opposite. A superb game that has to rise above its obscurity.

    I didn't care too much for The Witcher, getting about halfway through it at release. I've since finished it as the Enhanced Edition. It's improved but still far from perfect: the overlapping quest chains can get tangled and be confusing-- sometimes a quest will bug out and be incompletable; the number of NPC models has increased only by a handful; dialogue trees with I didn't care too much for The Witcher, getting about halfway through it at release. I've since finished it as the Enhanced Edition. It's improved but still far from perfect: the overlapping quest chains can get tangled and be confusing-- sometimes a quest will bug out and be incompletable; the number of NPC models has increased only by a handful; dialogue trees with nonsensical headers have been improved greatly but you still must zone to see a new dialogue if you've done what the NPC wanted and they have something new to say, and you also have to stop your conversation if a NPC gives you a quest, even though they have more dialogue choices available; most of the truly cringeworthy voiceover has been replaced with professional-quality work, although some perfectly fine stuff from the first version was inexplicably replaced with a lesser quality iteration. Anyway, what makes the game truly great and a truly adult one (once you cut through the pretensions to maturity like profanity and casual sexual encounters and dirty playing cards featuring boobies) is the narrative. It is why the game has such a following; I didn't see it their way at first, but they were right. The dialogue is good stuff, and the themes are 'adult' in the real sense of that word: there is no good and evil, only choices. Moreover, the gameplay is old-school cool as well: The Witcher doesn't condescend to hand-hold like nearly every other game of any genre on the market today; you have to pay attention and have patience. No one will explain it all or make it easy for you. Thankfully, in The Witcher, you are not in a vicarious first-person movie in which the gameworld caters to you so much you might as well be a virtual cow in a virtual chute. Oh, and the combat system has a charm all its own; it's a simple single click mechanic that gets more complicated fighting multiple enemies; a skilled player can turn any fight into a slick ballet of death: the motion-captured swordplay, acrobatics (and the gory finishing coup de graces) are loads of fun. But this is getting too long, so I'll say it like this: The Witcher is a flawed masterpiece: 3 parts one-of the-best RPGs-ever made and, regrettably, 1 part bargain bin title. The recent controversial heir to the RPG throne, Oblivion, was technical perfection and a great game in it's own right; but in terms of truly engrossing story and depth, it can't hold a candle to The Witcher.… Expand

    I'm sort of glad I only caught on to this phenomenal game with the Enhanced Version--after hearing about the uproar regarding crashes, bugs-etc in the original (esp given how desperately people wanted to play this game) because this game is so masterful I would have put up with it then (but ugh).

As for the game-- I haven't loved an RPG like this since the Baldur's Gate series (tho I really liked Oblivion & Bioshock). This is definitely a game for mature teens & up (i'm sure some adults aren't even mature enough to handle it). Marvelous gameplay/moral relativity and just a solid storyline even among a genre that's chalk full of cliches (this has them, but done well, you don't care). Great job and I hope they continue with a second Witcher.… Expand

    I missed the original version of this game, but I am sure glad that I discovered the enhanced version. The Witcher is a mature, intelligent and brilliantly realised form of digital literature. The closest comparison I can make is with Oblivion, which is a better produced and technically proficient game, but cannot match The Witcher for storyline, dialogue and atmosphere.

The Witcher looks great and the music truly enhances the experience, however it does not reach perfection due to long load times (even in the enhanced version) and some technical glitches with the story mechanics which required regression to an earlier save. These quibbles aside, The Witcher is a fantastic RPG experience, and for the week it took me to finish the game, I was Geralt of Rivia.… Expand

    The main adventure still has serious pacing problems, combat's still too easy for the most part, and load times -- though reduced -- continue to get in the way of the action.

    The new and improved package is increasingly attractive. There are still some rough edges, and moments of genuine drama are still undercut by how they're performed, but this is an agreeably driven RPG in an agreeably ornate package.

    Finally, The Witcher fulfills its potential, and, best of all, it's available as a free update, just in case you bought it anyway. [Nov 2008, p.110]
