When i was younger i used to play lots of RPG's, used to focus and play a single title during weeks without play another game. Lately wasn't like that, jumping from game to game doing nothing. after meet The Witcher i had the thought in me, "well maybe there still hope". Played the damn game on hardest difficult from zero, only pausing to sleep, eat and the other things i dont need to say ;P. Anyway loved the game, made only 1 campaign cuz i wanted to play Witcher 2, explored a lot, made the big mistake done in the last chapter start as many did, but it was worth every single hour. Even though im 11 years late this game made me do something that most AAA titles nowadays dont do. Bad english but i guess its fine, its pretty clear that i loved this stuff.

I've played this game in the past on a fast pace, to simply see the "story", recently, I againt started witcher 1, but played it on a slow pace, reading the books I found, the lore, exploring every part of the game, simply admiring everything this game has to offer, looting every barrel, every chest, doing every side mission, and why not some gambling, and fighting to earn some gold. I can tell you that this game is a masterpiece in my opinion, the experience this game offers, from simple things like the music that makes you go deeper into the game, from the graphics that although they are from 07, they still have something to offer from the little drunk chats that the npcs have. Everything is alive in this game. I'm in my first 12 hours in the game, and I assume i'm about 5% into the game. Play this game, it's a masterpiece.

Just played for the first time, as I played witcher 2 and 3 and couldn't just leave 1 behind. Actually very good story, it has more in common with the masterpiece of witcher 3 than witcher 2 and it feels much better game overal than witcher 2 in my opinion. Lots of interesting sidequests, fun story, well designed characters. The dialogues feel a bit stiff. The controls are very wonky, strange idea to implement a fusion of TPP and isometrical view, not gonna lie, I raged a lot during the combat. But nonethless I had a lot of fun playing this game. Definitely must play for witcher fans and worth trying for any RPG maniac.

This game is an amazing achievement. Not the least considering how old it is and the fact it was made by a then unknow studio on a small budget. To this day it is still worth playing or replaying. The world was unlike anything i've experienced before when i first played. Raw, brutal and uncensored as it should be. The story is great and there is so much to gain from exploring and talking with every character you meet. It is filled with content and fun minigames such as dice playing, fist fighting, drinking contests. And again you never know what the outcome of some of these is untill you try. Admittedly the controls can sometimes feel a little clunky, but once you get used to them it's not really that big of a problem.

This was my first foray into "The Witcher" series. Though common medieval tropes abound, the game is compelling and your choices do have some weight on the outcome of your quest. The game is full of interesting quests and characters, and your loyalty or neutrality to certain factions matters. The graphics are perfectly serviceable. Geralt himself has a bland presentation and personality, which is odd considering the sheer volume of women who throw themselves at him at a moment's notice. Yes, bare-bosomed friends await you at every turn. The elephant in the room is surely the combat. There is a specific rhythm to the combat which means you have to press attack at certain times or your combo ends. It is satisfying to land a powerful combo and pulverize your enemies, but the system takes getting used to at best and may put off players at worst. Overall, the combat did not lessen the experience for me. Additionally, there is a complex skills system, as well as alchemy to give you a specific edge in combat. It takes some cautious planning to invest in the right skills at the right time, as Witchers also carry two blades: silver for monsters, and steel for everything else. Sometimes it feels a little redundant to invest in the same skills for a different material of sword. You can find weapons in shops and as loot from enemies, but most weapons you find are completely useless. You never need to use anything other than your Witcher swords. There are also bombs and traps to experiment with, but they are never required. Aside from armaments, you will also collect alchemical ingredients to concoct potions with. Rummaging through people's houses will net plenty of food, which is mostly useful for bartering or gifts to NPCs. You will also find copious amounts of alcohol, which may be given to certain NPCs or consumed in drinking contests. It's mildly interesting, but it takes too long to sober up. All in all, an above-average experience if you can stomach the combat.
