The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

To keep this review short and avoid saying lots of blah-blah-blah. A great successor of the 1st Witcher, and a very promissing predecessor of the Wild Hunt. Enjoyed from beginning till end.

This game just got worse & worse to play; by the end I hated it. A few reasons... Leveling up: In general, combat earns squat XP. That being said you will gain a few levels from all the running back and forth from town to forest. There are 3 major skill trees & 1 minor skill tree. There are a total of 51 skills & each skill can be leveled up 2 times; for a total of 102. Your max level is 35 which leaves you with 34 talents to populate your skill tree. By the end of the game Geralt only can achieve a 33% in Witchermanship. And MAN do you ever feel it. On a vanilla run Geralt is exquisitely remedial at his profession. Expect to die. A lot. There is little narrative reason for this. Geralt in bread, borne, trained, and neutered for the job of monster hunting. There is simply no good reason for him to suck so loudly. The Economy: Not only will Geralt be forced to be an incompetent Witcher throughout the events of The Witcher 2 but, he will be broke as joke. Witcher 2 sports a savage sell back ratio of 1 to 24. Back in an era where a person could expect to only be able to afford one new set of clothes in his life time, Geralt can sell a sack of magical swords for roughly 20 Orens. Which isn’t enough for him to buy a pair of gloves. The first Witcher had a sell back ratio of 1 to 5 which is much more manageable. As with experience, money will come almost exclusively from quests. Combat earns you next to nothing. The easiest way to raise money I found was to arm wrestle. (If that isn’t a euphemism, I don’t know what is) Inventory: Geralt cannot haul more than 250 lb of crap. Which is strange because Witchers need a wide assortment of crap to witch. Perhaps there is some sort of “bag o’ holding” Geralt could employ? NO. Some spell that could help? NO. Perhaps Geralt could hire a mule? NO. But a transdimentional chest that is present in one location per chapter? Brilliant, YES. I just touched on the basics of why this game is awful. Refrigerated Gas Station Burger/10

I got all wicher games. Every game ist difrent. This part is more like good movie. Not an open world but it gives much freedom. Story is realy good. Just play it. I promise you won't regret it. :)

...and GOG is my favorite store on the Citadel.™ Long live DRM-free awesomesauce ! Viva la revolucion ! Get this masterpiece, you won't regret it.

From all the royal steam rolling from EA and friends over the years I almost forgot that I was the customer. CD projekt your my hero. I am completely at a loss that a programming house is showing so much love. I loved the first Witcher if the sequel is half the game of the first it will be the best thing I have played all year. Can't wait for the 17th. (><) You guys can just take my money for a third one now.
