The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

110% going to buy this here on gog.com so that all the $$$ can go to the developers - they rightly deserve it. A guaranteed to be amazing game? Check. DRM free? Check. I usually like owning a retail version - but here I'm making an exception, for the devs alone. Thank you! I'd feel abysmal even considering a pirated version of this game. CD Projekt RED Studio has gone beyond all expectations by ditching DRM completely and providing us with what's sure to be a quality experience. Think it's too expensive? Cut back on miscellaneous spending and save up to buy this. Still can't afford it? Eat Cup Noodles for a week or two - it's worth the effort. The Witcher was an incredible game, obvious right after it's release. Whatever quirks and annoyances existed thereafter were ALL remedied by the "Enhanced Edition." This just goes to show the dedication of these folks. I expect no less for the Witcher 2. Really, buy it! I know I am.

I played The Witcher on and off, and finally finished it 6 months back. I like the feel of the first, story, characters, but the game part was lacking. The Witcher 2 fixes all of these things, offering even more compelling story. It's more balanced, more thought out. There not as much back and forth as in the first game. Everything just is it should be. The Witcher 2 is harder game than it's predecessor. Lack of real group sword style from the beginning make mobs far more potent if they are in a pack. You are more inclined to use your other skills to survive which is only good. The story is well written, voice actors are superb - there isn't much to complain. The tone is of course very similar to The Witcher, but in this game everything seems more refined - everything. I already said the game is hard - it truly is. Even on normal, me a seasoned gamer had few situations where I had to replay those sections multiple times. Most of the times this was my lack of preparation, but equal part those sections being hard. There is quite clear divide between the sides you can choose, but their intentions aren't so clear. Your actions will affect the story, constantly. It's surprising in how many ways the story can pan out even in the first few hours of playing. Not as long as the first game in the series, The Witcher - but that's not a real downside. A lot of The Witcher's playtime came from running back and forth, there is much less of that in The Witcher 2. It's an adventure like no other :)

I want to review this game objectively, and give people the facts, outline the flaws, and discuss the peaks. But it did something to me when I played it. It affected me. It drew me in in a way games haven't done since Baldur's Gate 2. The mature nature of the story, and the astonishing (best ever) graphics, and the perfect voice acting... ...This is what gaming was meant to be about: Rich, deep, mature stories told interactively. It is fun, it is intelligent, and above all else, this is the first time in 30 years of gaming that I can feel games have finally surpassed films and books, combining the best of both. Thank you CD Projekt Red.

Unfortunately, I have an older system and have to run the game on basically the lowest settings possible. However, In my opinion (even on the basement settings) this is hands down one of the greatest (if not the greatest) games, I've EVER had the pleasure of playing.....period! I can't wait to build a new PC just to play this game with it cranked up! Huge thank you to CDProjekt and GOG.com! Keep up the great work. Can't wait for The Witcher 3!

What an incredible VALUE this game is. I was deep in the game when I saw a note on a notice board near a local tavern that upon registering the game, I'd get a free troll quest. "Hell yeah", I thought, "let's kill some trolls!" And only then did I discover that I'll get a lot more free stuff! Hell, I thought the introduction alone was worth the money (the whole prison/siege scene). I can only imagine how many more hours I have ahead of me. Thank you cdproject, that amidst stupid mainstream console titles you crafted this masterpiece... Fucking PC games man, fuck yeah!
