Experience new quests, locations, and even characters as you advance through a non-linear storyline with outcomes dependent on your choices throughout key encounters. ![]() Battle-weary Geralt investigates those responsible for the attempted assassination of King Foltest in this enhanced adaptation of the The Witcher 2 on PC.However, the game is far better than Witcher 1 and improves upon on it in so many ways that I have really high hopes that Witcher 3 will truly be outstanding. OVERALL: A superb RPG with some of the best story telling I've ever seen, with interesting choices and fleshed out characters let down by some lacklustre gameplay in parts and some niggling menu problems. BAD: Menu systems are unintuitive and there's some strange sensitivity issues with using the control stick to navigate them (sometimes leading you to choosing a wrong dialogue option or accidentally selling something important) The environments are awash with muddy textures that can diminish the beauty of the game Sometimes dialogue between characters is insanely quiet leading you to miss important pieces of information (this cannot be remedied by switching off the music strangely) Swordplay can be quite inaccurate at times leading to quick unnecessary deaths where sword blows don't connect Controls are a little over-fiddly at times leading to some weird finger-crossing on the controller Enemy hit-boxes are confusing leading to too much trial and error with certain enemies QTEs for fist fights are boring and completely unchallenging Mission/quest log doesn't always update correctly and it's confusing having 3 separate entries for the exact same quest leading to an overly cluttered interface. GOOD: The story in Witcher 2 is beautifully detailed with a hefty amount of backstory provided for both the world and characters For the most part, the graphics are superb and create a wonderfully believable world Crafting mechanics and levelling system are deep and variable allowing for non-linear character progression Most of the combat mechanics are fun to use and taking out foes is very satisfying Music is fitting and voice track is nicely done Morally ambiguous choices in the story flesh out a relatively linear story Mature themes are mostly handled well and it's refreshing to see a story devoid of the good versus evil cliches Signs are fun to use and allow for some interesting tactics against certain enemies. GOOD: The Witcher 2 is a superb RPG with a deep and meticulous world and story marred by many interface annoyances and a so-so combat system. ![]() The Witcher 2 is a superb RPG with a deep and meticulous world and story marred by many interface annoyances and a so-so combat system.
