Ведьмак

[NOTE:- This is a Repost of my 2014 Review for The Witcher Enhanced Edition via Steam] The Witcher 'Gaming' Saga Begins Here for "Geralt of Rivia", * One of the Best Stories told in a RPG, it's not just the Main Campaign even all the Side Mission adds lot of depth. * The In-Game Choices & Path you choose defines how the story & gameplay unfolds, I loved it. * Sound & Music are Awesome, so does the dialogues which were very nicely done. * Atmospere & Graphics are good nothing ground breaking though for game released on 2008 using Aurora Engine. * Such a Dynamic Combat System, It's Joy Ride to Play on Hard Mode that’s where you start using lot of "Alchemy" * Many People didn't like the control system, even i find it very wonky at the beginning but once you familiarize them it's a cake walk. Years ago I've finished this Game twice with "Sco'iatel Path" & "Order's Path" now this time around I’ve done it right and completed the game with "Neutral Path" which is the True Witcher's Path. ****Definitely a Must Play RPG for the Fans of the Genre.""""

I'm about 20-25 hours into The Witcher. It was definitely fun at first because the atmosphere and the music really grip you. But the tedious combat (consisting only of clicking with no actual tactics beyond not using the "group" style if friendlies are around) along with every quest requiring you to run back and forth along the same paths for hours makes for a very boring and disappointing game. So much potential was wasted here. The alchemy system, gathering ingredients, the character interaction, the music, sound effects, all of that is very good, and the reason it gets two stars. The linear walking around and the combat destroy the game.

Сегодня «03.03.2022» RED 2.0 пробил очередное дно! Они запретили продажу своих игр на территории России и Беларуси. Я хочу вам RED 2.0 напомнить, что пользователи России, Беларуси и других стран СНГ дали вам возможность выйти на большую арену геймдева! Мы покупали первого Ведьмака, когда он не кому не был нужен и известен кроме пользователей России и стран СНГ. Так было и со второй частью Ведьмака. Если бы не пользователи России и стран СНГ, которые любили и покупали ваши игры то не какого Ведьмака 3 и Cyberpunk 2077 вы бы не выпустили! Мы вас раскрутили и дали вам деньги на ваши проекты! А теперь вы вот так с нами поступаете!

С огромным удовольствием играла в Ведьмака еще до того, как это стало модным. Великолепная игра! Да, графика уже устарела, и боевая ситема многим не по душе, но я все равно однозначно советую всем сомневающимся решиться и пройти ее)) Однако, раз мы теперь приплетаем к играм политику, держите мою одну звезду.

The Witcher is clearly a game made with a heap of care to ever asset. It's clear that the team at CD Project poured their hearts and souls into it, unsure whether it would be their last game. These are the sorts of games that used to be made, and why they deserve the connection to the classics we love. Set in a familiar but completely new world onto itself, The Witcher takes what you may first see as "generic fantasy" and turns it on its head with a real weight to everything. Never in any game, old or new, have I ever felt like my choices hang so heavily on my shoulders. You may not see the death of planets due to them, but you do see people you may have cared for go due to a simple missed step. Speaking of the people, everything in the game feels fully fleshed out even from the tiny stints of unimportant NPC dialogue. I think a comparison to NWN is apt, since it's both built on the engine and shows exactly how the old style of play can morph into the new. The game's mechanics are definitely an acquired taste, what with fast 3D movement and a rhythm based system, but I for one loved it due to the fact that it was so strategic. Everything about the workings fits so well into the narrative, creating something very cohesive to both people who indulge in fantasy and only sample it. The worlds itself is a real draw, with that absolutely mind-blowing soundtrack completely taking you into its world despite the borders which must exist. The areas are always wide open with many interesting things to try, and a plethora of sidequests that you can outright fail if you don't devote yourself to them, and you can miss even more if you're not exploring. While one would be remiss to call it a gorgeous game, it definitely excels in its purpose more than most games do with high textures. I could go on about this game, but it's simply impossible to over recommend it if you love fantasy of any sort. It's straight forward, but complex. It's foreign, but nostalgic. It's deep and charming. There was a sense of euphoria when I really got into this game, one that I could not break even if it has a few issues in definition. In no other game have I felt so free, so at peace, and smack dab in a situation.
