Games are rarely perfect, but they don’t have to be flawless to be enjoyable. The Witcher 2 is a godsend for gamers like me, who love RPG’s but are burned out on the idea of badly translated teenagers saving the world with impractical weapons and stran...
Abstract: Being a gamer is a great experience though it does have one major drawback. There is not enough time in the day to play and experience all of the games that I’d like to play. One such title is CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher, which I sadly never got aroun...
Abstract: While I was playing the Witcher 2 (subtitled Assassin of Kings) my first thought was ‘something this beautiful can’t be perfect’ and while I was not wrong, it’s close enough to be called a masterpiece. The Witcher 2 may have a few flaws but it is a mat...
Abstract: Set a short while after the events in the original title, CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 2 finds monster hunter Geralt of Rivia once again embroiled in twisted plots and politics as he strives to clear his name of a heinous crime. Maintaining the rich g...
Graphically stunning even with settings at low, great and dark story, muddy morality system adds a lot of depth and replayability to the game, ability to import saves from the original game.
Targeting system suffers from ADD and will lead to your death repeatedly, inventory system is confusing, awkward keyboard controls, no fast travel or transportation.
Incredibly beautiful, detailed world; choices that really matter; mostly excellent writing and characters.
Halfbaked, sometimes frustrating combat; terrible tutorial; wonky interface and quest design.

Abstract: The hero of The Witcher 2 looks like a cross between Edgar Winters and the saxophone player from The Lost Boys. During the dialogue, his delivery is very Christopher Lambert. He has amnesia, of course, and a hawt mage girlfriend. His name sounds like G...
Regardless of the lack of DX11, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a visually stunning game and it's right up there with Crysis 2 as the best looking DX9 titles around. While patch v1.1 delivered a much-needed performance boost, The Witcher 2 is sti...
Abstract: The Witcher 2 is such a fucking treat. Rarely does a series so lavishly reward its fans for participating in a game's fiction as the Witcher series aims to do, but the fruits of CDProjekt RED's labor are readily apparent in Assassins of Kings, and a to...
