The beginning of a stunning series
The Witcher series had always been in the back of my head until I finally decided to play it. I've read a lot of positive feedback and having finished the first game a couple of days ago, I can say that all of it does the game justice. Graphics. While you definitely see the difference between the first Witcher and its sequels, the graphics are pretty neat. Sometimes the character animations are a bit clunky, especially during cutscenes, but the landscapes and character design itself make up for that. Battle System. Very interesting and relatively easy to master. Alchemy potions, bombs etc. add some variety, even though you can more or less easily kill the monsters without all those gimmicks on normal difficulty. I especially loved the group fighting style and I am definitely gonna miss it in the next Witcher games! Story. Definitely the main reason to play this game! Very intriguing storyline, the characters are believable and sophisticated. Witcher also doesn't fail to present some deeper conversations, be it in terms of philosophy, ethics or plain humour. But the moral dilemmas are probably the best part: often enough, there is no clear distinction between good or bad, it's just one choice or the other, which greatly influence the course of the game. Only downpoint for me were the side quests, as they can get rather boring/repetitive in the later chapters. So all in all, I'd definitely recommend to check out this game - I'm very glad that I did.

A different game in a very good way
Ok, I will admit I didn't expect much out of this game when I first ran it. I had to invest some time to get the hang of the combat, as well as understand the alchemy system. I suppose you need time to immerse fully in the overall setting. After that you start to appreciate it. I would say this is a very BELIEVABLE game, though this being a strange word to be used in RPG context. The combat system is realistic - you either do series of successful hits, or suffer from such. You need to learn ingredients and monsters, formulas. You have to pay for this. The alchemy system is realistic as well. Drinking potions is limited by toxicity. You can't carry tons of weapons as most other games. Until certain point you can't even make unlimited amount of money (Which become pretty useless in many other games). Magic is something of which very few are capable of. You don't buy hundreds of spells just like that - you have few, and must choose wisely which to train. Everything you achieve is a result of hard work. This game doesn't hold your hand, you may fail a dozen of quests. The plot is intriguing, very mature. Of course there are flaws - dialogues could have been written better at some points in the game. First round of battle should have been less buggy, quests sometimes become unclear, you may lose yourself in the amount of things to do... That doesn't matter. You either love this game or hate it. I opt for the first - this is a unique experience and I absolutely recommend it.
