Mixed feelings

The game has it's strengthes. - The overall story is well made - The power progression system is good. - The alchemy system, finding recipes, learning about herbs and how to gather them is appealing. - Some tactical chocies made in the game can be interesting and have consequences. However, the game has weaknesses as well. - Moral choices were not well made since everyone is evil. In order for moral choices to exist there needs to be good and evil not just evil and very evil. - I personally disliked the main character Geralt. He looked to me like a h*rny and greedy individual. - The combat system is boring. Very dungeon crawler like with point and click combat. - Quests were a mess and lacked direction through text not just quest tracking. I played the game for 6 hours then stopped. I would continue playing if the combat system was more entertaining and engaging. So if you like ARPG with point and click combat and everyone in the story being evil this maybe a 5 star game for you but if you like a more engaging combat system and a flavor of good and evil this game may feel underwhelming for you.

Not perfect but great fun

Completed on normal difficulty. Attractive graphic, immersive storyline, lots of gameplay, and a very interesting character. Things that were not so great: * The quest structure can be confusing. Example (minor spoiler): even if you know that the private investigator is an impostor, you still need to agree to kill the gangster boss for him, or the quest cannot be resolved (you do not actually have to kill the gangster). I was stuck on this a really long time since I thought commiting to the kill would limit my options later. * The episode where you fight Dagon is completely unrelated to the rest of the game and makes no sense at all. The fight is also surprisingly easy given that your "monster knowledge" about Dagon tells you that he is an invincible demigod. * The battles in the final quest are too easy. After fighting the giant Zeugl in the sewers, which is just a "filler monster" with no relation to the story, I found none of the encounters challenging. Be warned that the sequel to this game uses a totally different engine and whether you like Witcher II or not seems to be completely unrelated to whether you like Witcher I. Personally, I gave up on Witcher II because of the extremely clunky controls.

A lot of fun

This game is far from being perfect, but the story is so addictive and challenging that I give 5 stars. The game itself is quite old and should run on most computer systems available today. One little thing I haven't appreciate is the final chapter, mainly focused on combat, combat and more combat. But I can't wait to play the next chapter (hoping my computer can run it the same way...)
