    I like the dialogues but gameplay itself is very clunky, especially combat and movement. The marshland is especially annoying because of nonsensical map limitations. The maps are small and limited, but seem bigger because there is no fast travel so you have to run a lot from A to B and to A again. The main story is meh, but like I said the dialogues are very well done.

    Если бы не 2 DLC для третьего Ведьмака, то первая часть для меня была бы лучшей в серии без каких либо шуток или иронии это действительно очень недооцененная игра не только в серии, но и вообще в истории.
    CD Projekt любят вселенную Ведьмака и в первой части видно как много сил и души они вложили в неё.

    Очень не до оценённая игра своего времени, как по мне, и если вы всё ещё не пробовали игру, то попробуйте. Вас она будет бесить тем, что всё морально устарело. Но с 10-го часа вы начнёте получать удовольствие от всего, если не раньше. И вам даже понравятся резко все ваши первые 10 часов. Это тот самый момент когда ты понимаешь, что сделано с душой.Очень не до оценённая игра своего времени, как по мне, и если вы всё ещё не пробовали игру, то попробуйте.

    This game is Amazing.
    Let's go over the cons first: the combat is hard to learn, it is very different from other games and will fight against you a lot int he beginning.

After learning it, it's possible to forget the hassle that it was before but it never feels great to be in combat... I believe that the feel that the game wanted was exactly that, still it was not the "it's hard but it is great" feeling more of a "annoying but short".
    and that's it.
    The rest is pure positive, the characters are SO MEMORABLE, on a game moved by player choice you get conflicted about what to do in almost all of them, concerned about what will become of the characters, what will become of the witcher. The game is how choices have consequences, and it flat out tells you in the beginning, in a not so subtle way. The monsters are creative and their relation to the world and how witchers react to them is something fresh and new.
    The music is really good, the sound was suprisingly awesome by the time, and the voice acting never made me lose any immersion.
    By the end, you just want to know more and more about this universe and the characters that live in it.    … Expand

    El juego lo valoro como un inicio y una apuesta a su historia, ya que en este título es en el que menos decisiones vas a tomar que cambien realmente la historia para los siguientes títulos, ya que sacaras easters eggs y frases de diálogo en los siguientes títulos que cambien respecto a los demás, pero poco más. Pero la historia que se cuenta en el juego y sus secundarias SÍ que merecen muchísimo la pena y a pesar de ver videos de resumen en su momento para jugar The Witcher 2 he descubierto muchas partes de la historia, personajes y lore que no tenía ni idea de que existían.

    En resumen es un juego que ha envejecido bastante mal siendo sincero y puede que te eche para atrás sobre todo los dos primeros capítulos de este. Pero la verdad si te gusta mucho The Witcher y quieres saber absolutamente todo y estas pensando en jugarlo tranquilamente sin meterte prisa, te recomiendo que le des una oportunidad, porque a pesar de ser un juego que ha envejecido mal me lo he pasado sin mods ni nada, pero aun así se que hay muchos que mejoran la experiencia si quieres jugar mucho más cómodo.

    Te recomiendo jugarlo si quieres exprimir el mundo The Witcher y te recomiendo 100% la versión actualizada de GOG, ya que la de Steam esta muy abandonada.    … Expand

    Да игра отличная, сюжет отстранен от книги (почти), но встрачаються моменты которые есть в книге, и это приятно, а сам он (сюжет) очень годный, и выбор диалогов, который влияет на сюжет, сделано добротно, и интересно. Юоевка по началу не прывичная, но буквально за часик привыкаешь, и она даже становиться приятной. Атмосфера, выше всяких похвал, погружаешься полностью, музыка безподобна.Да игра отличная, сюжет отстранен от книги (почти), но встрачаються моменты которые есть в книге, и это приятно, а сам он (сюжет) очень годный, и выбор диалогов, который влияет на сюжет, сделано добротно, и интересно.

Графон, да мне всегда плевать на графику, поеэтому мне было норм. Но есть в ыгре и пару минусов, которые портят немного впечатления об игре. Мир хоть и красочный, ну он маленький, и приходится бегать по ним, и уже в середине игры начинает приедаться, и утомлять. Болото это вообще ужас, самая наверное противная локация именно болот во всех играх, хрен в ней разберешся. Второстепенные задания, скудны, принеси то, сбегай туда, но поставленны неплохо, но часто было что хрен поймешь куда бежать, а по всех домах и локациях бегать влом. Кости еще шарлатанство, подкрученны так что даже не хочется в их играть. Вообщем первый задел ну сд проджект удался.… Expand

    To this day it's amazing game with incredible atmosphere which for me is as good as The Witcher 3 although darker. It's amazing action RPG, game combat is a little bit outdated but story and quests are awesome.

    The gameplay is very stiff, you can clearly see that the game is based on very old engine. The story makes up for it a little, however I still feel this is the worst of the Witcher franchise.

It has that sort of hardcore old school RPG feel to it where the game gives you minimal guidance and leaves you to do most of the thinking to very, nowadays, extreme levels. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to the Witcher universe unless you're into that hardcore old school style of RPGs. I would recommend, instead, either reading one or more of the books or playing the second game. It is much easier to fall in love with this universe if you do that and this specific game becomes a lot better once you do.

    Overall it is an incredible game and a must play for any Witcher fan.    … Expand

    I remember once trying to play The Witcher after starting up the third game in the series, getting to the interview where you're asked about your choices in previous games and being overwhelmed. In order to understand the third game, I said, I must experience the first. And experience it I did. For 30 minutes. Enough to do the prologue and get into the first chapter and decide this combatI remember once trying to play The Witcher after starting up the third game in the series, getting to the interview where you're asked about your choices in previous games and being overwhelmed. In order to understand the third game, I said, I must experience the first. And experience it I did. For 30 minutes. Enough to do the prologue and get into the first chapter and decide this combat was the single worst experience I've had with one hand.
    Regardless, after falling head over heels for the Netflix adaption of the novels I decided all three games must be given proper due. And you know what? The combat was manageable. Wasn't fun exactly, but it wasn't a deterrent anymore. Most people will still see rhythm game mechanics in an rpg and quit while they're ahead though, so allow me to fill in the gaps in their missing experience.
    Since I already mentioned the combat a lot, and so does everyone else, may as well start by finishing my thought there. If you don't know this game made an attempt to blend traditional rpg mechanics with a more modern action rpg style and created a pseudo-rhythmic approach to fighting. You click to start an attack sequence and click at intervals to continue it for more damage, and bonus damage for precise timing. There is a dodging mechanic, though I say that lightly because if you use it for more than boss fights or really large groups early on let me know. I'd be truly interested in that solely unique experience of yours. Otherwise two potions, swallow and blizzard, can trivialise any fight you so desire. So enough of the obvious.
    To talk about the appearance at all wouldn't be saying much. It's a 2008 game by a relatively small company at the time. It looks fine, but some animations simply confuse me. Apparently in this universe children model their run cycle after a headless chicken. And otherwise the use of the same four models over and over again breaks some immersion but if you got over the hump that is the combat you'll get over this ant hill.
    Story-wise you'll get your generic fantasy affair. The enemies serve a purpose to the plot and no more, and soon get pushed aside anyway. There's a minor twist heavily suggested at the end, but if you're not a parent and don't wish to be, like myself, it will mean little to you. It's not like it's ever brought up again anyway. I have no more praise for the story than the choices either. A lot of the actual plot is steamrolled by the themes of witcher neutrality or choice. But since both factions are pretty shallow and neither is likeable it merely becomes another instance of Skyrim civil war syndrome. Choice for the sake of choice. And as much as the characters like to insist you can't stay neutral, you can and it's actually the easiest path. So much for exploring the downsides to neutrality in theme and action, because none of that matters anyway.
    The interface is usable but it isn't great, though you'll think it was as clear as polished air if you make it to the sequel. And otherwise quests, both main and side are fine. You may find some confusion in quest and objective tracking. Just remember that quests can last 2 or more chapters and you'll be sweet as sickly honey. None of them are mind blowing, but very few are complete bore-fests as well.
    Now to mix story and presentation here and talk about cutscenes and control of information. If at any point while playing this game you find yourself asking 'what just happened?' or 'what the hell are you talking about?' fear not. This happens so often I can only assume it's a feature. And I don't mean extended lore either, the game is actually pretty good about that and if you can't clue out a lore point from context then it's likely you can and are encouraged to buy a book on it. Otherwise, a half-decent glossary keeps most of it on hand for you. What I'm talking about here, however, is when a cutscene begins in one area and focused on one subject for a few shots and then suddenly the next shot is somewhere completely different and someone starts talking in the middle of a topic as if they'd been there for ten minutes discussing it with you. Allow me to demonstrate:
    1 - "Hello how are you?"
    2 - "I'm good. How are you?"
    1 - "I'm good."
    Very next shot
    3 - "And so the organs of the vleder are surprisingly hot when dissected"
    I have no words.
    Sometimes things happen in game but out of sight and then a character will start a conversation with you about what they just did as if you are the only person lacking omniscience in this universe. You weirdo. In the end, you'll understand the story just fine, but 'what?' will become your catch phrase along the way.
    In terms of progression, you'll find fairly quickly that levels do a lot and if you've done even a couple of side quests then by the end you've foregone even the need for potions. Enemies will fall before you like rain drops and you'd have a hard time taking damage. It's a good power fantasy actually.
    Overall good, but it's clunk.    … 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]
