I just wanted to thank CD Projekt RED for making such a great game and renewing it with massive content without expecting additional payment. If you didnt play Witcher series, you are missing a lot! Both games has to be played if you really like this genre. I am proud of supporting you guys (got the steam version) and hope you will come up with many more great games like this one.
I loved The Witcher 2, even more than The Witcher 1. Graphics are gorgeous, combat system is AWESOME, storytelling and characters are epic and the first 2 chapters are really nice. The only big flaws I see with the game is that chapter 3 was clearly rushed and left "incomplete", not to mention how short it is: it almost feels like another game, really. The Witcher 2 EE is a true gem and I strongly recommend it to everyone in search for a really good game, but I believe it could have been even better if only the developement team spent more time on chapter 3. Maybe the publishers rushed it... who knows? A shame, though!
Still call Bioware the king? Be prepared, CD Projekt performed regicide.
The sequel to what was arguably the best RPG this generation, and it most certainly lives up to the reputation. Some still prefer the 1st to this, and vice versa, but neither are wrong. As it's just going back and forth about which masterpiece resonates more with them. And even if you didn't like the first, you might like this. Again CD Projekt delivers a mature game that is deep, engaging, and fun. With incredible writing and characters, and choice that matters. It doesn't handhold you by giving you a good dialog option (for good characters) and bad (for bad), it's not black and white. Which makes the decisions feel real, as you weigh your options and think about the effect of your choices. Not funneling you into a certain character archetype, and calling it freedom. Making the Mass Effect system that is gloated over by the masses feel amateur. As it blends the deep, moral ambiguous dialog system in the first game and the cinematic presentation of Mass Effect.
The combat despite being very action based is quite deep and challenging, requiring the use strategy. And it's all-around fun, never did I feel like an enemy encounter was interrupting, which is quite something for an RPG. The story is great, but might be a little hard to take in (with the immense lore and characters) if you haven't played the first game. And I'd also recommend the novels too. The soundtrack is great, though I did like the music in the first game, if only a bit, more. And now for the graphics, some of the best in gaming if your rig can handle it, end of story. I do feel I should bring up an issue a lot of people had, which is the final act. And while it does sorta come to a close pretty abruptly I wouldn't really say "rushed" and the Enhanced Edition does a good job of alleviating that issue.
Now to talk about gog, if you plan on getting this game, which I very highly recommend you do, gog is the way to go (at least when it comes to digital distribution). As it has loads of extras and is completely without that dreaded thing known as DRM. So download the game and appease the great Zoltan, as the only thing worse than a sad dwarf is a very sad dwarf.

you tend to buy very few legit games.I am proud to say that in my 12 years of gaming Witcher 2 is the first game that i have bought with my hard earned money.It is just a small token of appreciation for the developers of this wonderfully crafted game and to lessen my shame of playing a pirated copy of Witcher 1.
Even if i dont find time to finish this game this is money well spent for me.
If only there were more developers like CD Projekt...
This game is rather an RPG than an action adventure, but with really superb graphics. If you are looking for a deep, immersive RPG, dont go for the Witcher 2. This game is good when you like fast-paced and well animated fights, impressive cutscenes, and loads of story plus well-done characters.The RPG part is mostly a nice bonus. Overall, the Witcher 2 is a good experience, becuaee of the excessive use of visual and audible effects. My only wish would be The Witcher as real RPG, in a Open World, where you decide what to do next. But I accept the Witcher 2, as it does not try to do something which it technically isnt capable of. The Witcher 2 is perfect as it is, but this game is not a perfect RPG.
