Wiedźmin - Edycja Rozszerzona

The development of the Witcher games was taken on by a Polish company, making the Witcher series (a completely Polish product from idea and writing through to AAA video game) one of the biggest cultural exports of modern Poland and made CD Projekt, the developer, one of the biggest companies in the country. CD Projekt have an amazing story all their own and set their stall out confidently with the first Witcher game. It’s a bold and ambitious outing for a relatively new dev company and they created an incredibly dense and fulfilling RPG that offers all of the typical levelling, skills and attributes of a good RPG coupled with some interesting new mechanics that made the game a fresh offering for RPG fans. The inclusion of noticeably different swordfighting styles and a deep and complex alchemical mechanic involving countless reagents, numerous recipes and an endless number of creations with a wide variety of effects added a depth to the game that was new to many. The primary purpose of these mechanics is to create a tangible sense of a Witcher’s profession: hunting beasts and monsters. There is a large and diverse bestiary in the Witcher and many of these creatures have very different strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited through choosing the appropriate sword style and using the correct potions, oils or bombs. In a lot of cases, this isn’t really necessary as the monsters can be relatively easily dispatched with a few good licks of a sword, but there are just as many creatures that demand more thought and planning and will require a little bit of research in your own growing bestiary glossary. This is but a small snippet from my full review of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.

I'm playing this game now for the first time. everyone said to just skip this one and go into TW3, and if I must play TW2. I bought the third one and picked up the secont one for just a few dollars and decided to at least force myself into starting in the beginning. At first, I was having a hard time with the combat and almost could not bear it enough to continue. Fast forward the combate is not as bad after you figure it out. I'm really digging this game a lot, and I am only half way through. is the game perfect? NO there are still manny things that I can not stand. Like going to meat someone at a certan spot in the game to finish a mission only to not know what time they will be there{HATE THIS PART OF THE GAME Still} . but this game has great story that is engaging, hooks you in and to think I have 2 other games to finnish that are supposed to be better.Epic. the graphics really are not that bad when you start playing. pick this game up on sale and at least get through the first act, and I think you will really start liking it. If not, on sale it goes for $1.50

An amazing game still, with an engaging story and characters despite repetitive character designs and bad voice acting. But all that just contributes to the charm I guess. Being from Balkans I understand the approach and culture behind the game, it has some annoyances limited by the Engine, but an amazing world which feels alive that just sucks you in. Always will it be in my childhood memory and will replay it for years to come.

The Witcher is one of the best rpgs of all times. It has some flaws, but they are not enough to spoil the impression. Personally i had quite a few crashes. Combat looks awkward especially in third person view. But story and characters are great.

The Witcher world is so vast throughout all the games, and it starts with this little gem. The simple mechanics are so beautiful, and it really paved the way for the future installments. 10/10 would play again, just to learn all about the lore all over again. 10/10
