  • Two ways to play
  • Beautifully realized world

The editors didn't like

  • Adult theme boils down to cartoon nudity and a bit of swearing
  • Needs a pretty big investment of time to reap the rewards

  • Skill and inventory screens
  • Combat is visual rather than tactical
  • A mite sexist
  • Zoomed out mode is not that great

  • Abstract:  "Sweet maiden of the spit, grant now my boon, that I might sup on suckling pig this noon." You wont be hearing dialogue like this in The Witcher, thank god. After the atrocious ye olde dialogue in Two Worlds, gamers could be forgiven for worrying that...

  Published: 2007-10-30, review by: strategyinformer.com

  • Abstract:  Not unlike Clive Barker’s well-hyped FPS, Jericho, The Witcher has also employed the dark imagination of a fantasy writer to carve some genuine depth of plot and character from the shapeless, malleable clay of the single person RPG. The sheer weight...

  Published: 2007-10-29, review by: ign.com

  • Abstract:  Coming into 2007, The Witcher had little momentum. After a great showing both before and at E3, more starting jumping onto the Witcher-wagon. After many years in development and many, many impressive changes to the BioWare Aurora Engine, The Witcher is...

  • It's interesting to look back at a game that started a franchise still loved today. You know it has earned respect, but you also know that time changes how we think of things. Years ago and years from now, a good, quality game is still a good, quality gam...

  • Abstract:  Inspiration for video games is drawn from weird and wonderful places. However, one of the more popular ways for game developers to draw inspiration is to create video games based on books.Whether directly porting classic novels into high-definition video...

  • Abstract:  There are two kinds of people in the world. There are those that see an RPG experience as no more in depth than staging a racially motivated home invasion, making off with all the booty and gear that you can carry, and then reaping the rewards of selli...

  • Abstract:  When you look at the really good top quality RPGs out there, most do seem to come from the better known studios with plenty of experience in the genre. But they had to start somewhere, right? The thing is, the RPG gaming scene is so advanced these day...

  • Amazing, vibrant graphics featured in a realistic world; fascinating and flawed characters; your morally ambiguous choices and situations directly affect the storyline; battle system is dynamic, with tons of options
