The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

I never played the original game so I have nothing to compare it to. I found this enjoyable and replayable on the PC but only with several Mods installed. I found the adut content and the several romance possibilites aided by Mods as a definte plus to making this an enjpyable RPG. I prefered to play this than watch the dreadful Wokified TV series. The only real downside for me was the clunky janky controls on PC.

I bought this on a whim when I saw it on sale on a different digital distribution service... I thought it looked kinda neat, but thought it might be too nerdy... I installed it and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I'm not typically an RPG gamer and very few impress me or grab me and pull me into the world... Plus, I'm generally a fan of a little more interaction and action than a typical RPG features... The Witcher on the other hand was interactive enough, easy enough to grasp, and excellently paced. I had no issues hopping in and getting sucked into the world of The Witcher. Side quests were easy to follow, I never felt like I was getting lost in the game; yet there is more than enough content. The game lasted me a good 75 hours or so... Being able to make your own choices is great... The game has enough violence, blood, sex, vulgarity which makes the time period feel so much more dark and exciting. Upgrading your character is also easy enough, yet really allows you sculpt his skills/powers as you see fit. Overall, it really surprised me, and honestly for a game that came out years ago, I think the graphic quality is still good too. Some of the voice overs are strange as they don't match up with the mouths very well, but it never took away from the game for me. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys an RPG with a bit more action and character control over a conventional RPG. Or, if you're one that enjoys traditional over-the-shoulder action games, but with some extra character development and story decisions, give this a shot! Also, if you like dark, violent atmosphere, this is great too. The fact that your decisions and story integrates with the second game is even better... Go CD Projekt RED!

At first I thought this was going to be just another generic RPG not bad but nothing that would stand out and wow me. After playing through the first chapter my jaw had hit the floor both from the rich combat system and engaging world. Few stories have drawn me in like this, this is on par with KOTOR in my book or a mass effect game.

Great game. Amazing value. Thank you GOG. I will buy Witcher 2 in the future and continue to support you. Thank you.

I purchased the box version of Witcher 1 a long time ago when it first came out, via a friend who's staying in United States at the time. It was an incredible experience, to say the least--crashes and bugs notwithstanding yet unfortunately and inevitably made me reluctant to finish it up, like many gamers and most of CDPR's fans, apparently. And then came The witcher 2. I was blown beyond the cloud with this one. So much that I was a bit disappointed to find it was rather short, somewhat "unfinished" and less epic than the first one did. The end game--I don't know, it felt somehow like a puff of smoke compared to the grand opening and middle in Prologue, Chapter I and II. I understand (and even rejoice) to the subtle hint that the story is indeed not supposed to finish in Witcher 2, that there will be more revealing and grandeur journey in Witcher 3 (a promise I hold so dear for CDProject to fulfill). As it is, The Witcher 2 remains one of the best and most entertaining game experience in my 16 years of gaming life. And as a side note, thanx to Witcher 2 I found the spirit to finish what I left of in Witcher 1--especially now with the existence of Enhance Edition via GOG and/or patch 1.4. Both cases bears a daunting download since I only have dial-up connection, but I persevered just for the sake of it. Back to my dream above... I'm seeing the possibility of remaking Witcher 1 using Witcher 2's 3d engine and mechanics. At the very least in realization by means of community's story mod. Heh, imagine how long one would undertakes such a project. It's insane, I know. But I'd imagine that should CDPR takes the opportunity, any fanboy would be more than willing to open their wallet again for this. I know I would. No question about it. Besides, it would serves to be a nice waiting medium until the release of Witcher 3, no matter how long it would looms on the horizon. Hhhh.....
