    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.

    Quite boring game. Everything is slow and ugly.
    Graphics are poor and grey. Most of the game is located in different sections of a city that always look the same.
    There are really few NPC and monster models, so you are always dealing with an NPC Clone Army. The scenario sections are so tiny, with lots of loading screens between sections, like accessing houses, caves, different sections

    The scenario sections are so tiny, with lots of loading screens between sections, like accessing houses, caves, different sections of the city...

    Combat lacks a lof of responsiveness. Lots of twirls but almost no feedback on hits, misses, criticals ...
    There are really few weapons and armor and most of them are given at end game. So you expend most of the time with the same gear. There are secondary weapons like daggers but are completely useless. I still not understand the logic behind this weapons.
    On the other side there are hundreds of crap materials that you are almost not using.
    Someone decided it was a good idea to have mission logs that take up half of your inventory. Exactly what you need, more crap in your inventory.

    Quests are super annoying. You need to do tasks in a specific and unknown hour with an NPC hidden into the clone army. Then NPCs have the ability to disappear of change its location during quests, so you expend a lot of time searching fro the specific place and time to find someone/something to progress.

    I save the story that's quite good.

    CD Projekt любят вселенную Ведьмака и в первой части видно как много сил и души они вложили в неё.

    SHORZZ / The Witcher: Enhanced Edition: The Witcher Game Series might be the most detailed RPG games you'll ever play. The reason is based on the books. Witcher (1), combat is very strange in our current system. It feels boring and awkward at first, but it gets more playable once you get used to it. Pretty good game with RPG elements. It was a good game for its time. Play and experience the game.

    Great game. The time check was accurate. The main problem is in the combat system, which is incredibly tiring in the first 3 chapters. The plot and the choices are excellent. Perfect to play for everyone who has passed the 3rd witcher and who generally loves RPGs or the universe of the witcher.

    The best aspect of this game is the side missions and the story. The weakest aspect is definitely the combat it's just too outdated. The lowest point for me was the fourth chapter it just drags for too long and it feels unnecessary the game would have been much better without it.

    It does have its limitations, but it also shows its age.
    If CD Projekt were to revamp the combat, fix the inventory system, improve the textures, and find a solution for the most tedious quests (which often involve traversing various locations with just one running style, resulting in unnecessarily long trips of 25 minutes instead of a quick 7/8 minutes on horseback), you would have a hidden gem in your hands.

    At the beginning of the game, Geralt lost his memory and the witchers find him, his memory will be restored throughout

    At the beginning of the game, Geralt lost his memory and the witchers find him, his memory will be restored throughout the game. There will be a lot of characters in the game, both positive and negative, many of them know Geralt, and even believe that he died, but Geralt does not remember anything, and this gives its own zest, and some irony on the part of Geralt.
    Throughout the game you have to face different types of monsters, knights, magicians ..., perform various tasks of your choice, you build your own Herald, let your choice be correct. You will also learn how to forge weapons, magic, and will create elixirs, as well as seduce beauties and have affairs with them! The game is very interesting, I advise everyone!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I started playing this game, it seemed interesting with incredible moves and start. As I played on further, it got more interesting and it ran good on my system configuration. But later on I started feeling bored because of too many fights and the final chapter was lit. The character got so much powered up that it could defeat any of the mutants. So, I think if there would have been little less fights then it could have been better. Expand

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

    It is not easy to review a video game played sixteen years after its release, especially considering the context of the development of this first title by CD Project Red and the limited means they had at their disposal.

The Witcher is a video game that "oozes" love towards the original work. The developers have fully succeeded in recreating in another medium the atmosphere and worldbuilding of this saga. What is most striking when approaching this title is the "dynamism" of the places, the interactions within them, the huge amount of dialogues that are never an end in themselves, but always go to tell something about that world and have a real impact on the story. This last feature was not always implemented perfectly in the video games released at the same time as the first The Witcher. Nonetheless, even in its strengths, there are some sloppy points, to name two for example:
    1) characterization of NPCs not always consistent;
    2) ridiculous romances.
    Another flaw that is impossible to gloss over concerns the way the narrative of this game is constructed. Several times during the story, I had the perception that this, but in general, the whole narrative set-up including codexes and more, is aimed at those who already know the world of The Witcher. Compared to a similar title, such as the first Mass Effect may be, The Witcher does not have the ability to grab you and fully involve you within the game world, especially if you know nothing about it.
    Before moving on to the main criticism of this game, which everyone mentions when talking about it, it is important to talk about some elements of the game:
    - The sound design often comes across as crude, but it is balanced by good soundtracks that are sometimes corny, but always extremely consistent with the game;
    - The minigames: the dice game is entertaining and pushes you to play it more than it should, the same cannot be said for the fistfighting, which is too simple and scripted.
    -The game menu and Hud are poorly maintained, often intrusive, and above all not very user-friendly;
    - The skill tree can initially be interesting, but as the game progresses several issues related to the progression you want to give Geralt come out.
    The main flaw I mentioned above is the combat system, which comes across as point-and-click. There are 3 different styles of combat, each particularly effective against different types of enemies. The problem is that the gameplay becomes mechanical, simple, and repetitive from the moment you memorize which style to use and against whom. Also, the use of signs does not combine well with the gameplay; there is an imbalance between them.
    In conclusion, there are many other elements that I would have liked to introduce in this review, but I wanted to dwell mainly on the critical points of this title, which are certainly accentuated by the weight of the years, because these have had a considerable weight on the gaming experience . Despite this, I believe that this title can be enjoyed by lovers of the genre and that it could be interesting to play together with TW2, before approaching the CDProjectRed(TW3) masterpiece.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    So for every rpg game which is made after 2004 i will say it's Fable like game ... :P ; anyway i love this game especialy becouse of the Wicther 2 . Combat i very intresting but script could be better.

    This game didn't age well. It would be really cringy and shameful to play this in 2023 if you are not a fan of this universe.

    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.
  2. 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]
