Masterpiece
This is the best Witcher's game. The best mechanics, best story, best atmospheric and best imersiveness. The combat is fun, but some people would have to adapt first to experience the game fully.

old but gold
masterful storytelling, janky ass gameplay mechanics but they're fun once you get used to them, details are great and worth finding, but i absolutely loathe the way a certain chapter overstays its welcome, this game suffers from a bit of bloat and drag when it comes to mission design. oh and the music is awesome as always.

Part 1: Play it for the Story
Witcher 1 was never great GAME to begin with and it does surely not hold up today. The Clicker-combat mechanic and poorly imitates Bioware games of that time and is totally skill free. Yes, you can add tactical potion but that doesn't fix the lackluster and boring Clicker combat. The only difficulty spike is early-game with a hound. After that there are no more difficulties. HOWEVER the story and mission arcs and the moral dilemmas presented to you are outstanding. Also that you can talk out most (enemy-) encounters left a very positive mark in my book. Treat Witcher 1 as a Point and Click adventure and use some MODS for inventory space and money and you can have a game experience more than worth you time!

Incredible writing prevails over flaws.
Suprisingly fun, if sometimes very aggrovating RPG. This game nails immersion, and has some of the best dialogue I have ever heard/read, the kind of quality that carried over to the other games in the franchise. The dialogue got plenty of reactions out of me. It was intriguing, funny, "deep", tense and so many other things. Something that was none of those things except maybe "tense", like your muscles would be if you had some kind of seizure, is the combat and the animations. They're really bad. The animations often look terrible, everyone sort of just stands there like a dork and the camera can go all over the place during dialogue. The combat is... something. I don't even know. It's just a big mess. Imagine a 3rd person diablo game, except really really bad, that's kinda it. You WILL die because of the system's flaws, many many times. You will get stuck, you will randomly freeze, Geralt will just refuse to draw his weapon. And you will, most likely, get very angry. There is basically a delay between everything Geralt does. Click on an enemy, and he will stare at them for a second, THEN attack. Drink a potion, he will contemplate life a second, and THEN drink it. It is so rough, the fact that it is also easily exploited and that bosses can be endlessly kited around pillars for example, is often welcome. But, if you can get past that crap (it's kinda hard to). You will find an overall enjoyable RPG, with some really amazing dialogue, characters, monsters, world and story. Like really amazing, pure 10/10 stuff. It also sets a lot of the ground rules for the rest of the franchise. Playing this will give you a completely different perspective on the other two games. You sort of learn what to focus on, what to try and get enjoyment out of. Playing this has made me enjoy Witcher 3 much, much more for example. It's also rather long, I have 35,9 hours just from one single playthrough. Where I skipped most of the sidequests, it will take you around 60 hours to actually finish everything, maybe more. And then there is a decent amount of replayability, because you make much more extreme choices with Geralt than in the other two games. If you can bare the combat enough to actually replay it, that is.
