Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей

If you can install in linux it is nice, apart from the dice in the game I'm loser! since it is some ubuntu back (we're at 20.04), why not create the witcher packages in Appimage or Flatpak ... even Snap to the Limit! universal formats, which have all their dependencies internally and which will also be usable for other linux and future versions of ubuntu.

My coolest videogame moment was when I replayed this game for the first time, choosing a diferent option at the end of Act 1. The story is really complex. If you pay attention and have some knowlege of the books this game starts to click and really make sense. And I can't explain how incredibly it feels. If you know nothing of the books you are "roleplaying" as amnesia Geralt ( or Witcher 1 Geralt), and you will be able to enjoy quite a lot of the game. BUT if you have some knowlege of the books you beguin to feel like post-amnesia Geralt ( Witcher 2 Geralt) and things starts to make sense. I don't know if it was intentional or pure luck, but it is a pretty cool way to reward you if you are paying attention to the story or even read the books. The most ambitious game I ever played, even if it falls short in some areas. Definitely worth it! P.S.: If you do buy it, please complete the game more than one time. Choosing Yorveth (non-humans) and BRoach ( humans) path. You will not regret it =)

Review is after completing the main game and all side-quests on the Roche path Pros: Much improved main quest line than Witcher 1 Gorgeous visuals. Has extra bloom, but still beautiful Excellent voice acting Import save file and carry over the best end game weapons and armour from Witcher 1 5 discoveries about the Wild Hunt Discover the ultimate purpose of the Wild Hunt even before Witcher 3 Triss continues to be a terrible person. Remember gents, make informed decisions in Witcher 3 Thrilling revelations at the end of the game. Edge of seat, heart pounding stuff Complex quest choices with major consequences Upgraded combat, with an excellent parry system and throwable weapons Improved inventory system, better crafting system, deep conversation options End game weapons and armour are magnificent Will further cement the source of all the evil, pain and suffering in that world Modded, levelled up combat is glorious fun Enter houses, loot everything in broad daylight Quicktime difficulty settings option for those annoying arm wrestling games Geralt can meditate anywhere and alchemy does not consume time now Excellent soundtrack Cons: Annoying timed conversations Game crashes frequently as the number of save files increases. I had about 30 CTDs Loading times increase exponentially Terrible selling prices in shops The best daggers in the game cannot be crafted Forced seggs with Triss in the very beginning of the game. Once again this series ignores my choices Absolute chore to play without mods. The game is so stingy with talent points I thoroughly levelled up Geralt in Witcher 1. He has no skills in Witcher 2. Ridiculous! Advice: Witcher 1: Geralt regains Geralt. Witcher 2: Geralt grains his memories Feel free to mod the blazes out of this game for quality of life improvements Follow a guide to discover and complete all quests Overall Score: 8/10 with mods, 5/10 without mods

I have played all three witcher games over the years. Witcher 2 is the hardest of the three to interact with the game universe. Like Witcher 1, it has a linear plot progression. There is very little of the wide open, do what you want freedom of Witcher 3. It does however have a good story line and a lot of action to keep you busy.

I was surprised to read quite a few reviews critical of this game, because I absolutely loved it from the beginning. Showcasing much enhanced graphics, combat mechanics, and even more interesting storyline, the Witcher 2 brings an overall better game experience then its predecessor in every way. The graphics are far, far superior, and the combat is much more interesting; more freedom of movement and they got rid of the clunky "get in position" before Geralt swings his sword mechanic, which lead to several accidental, silly deaths in the first game. The story takes off right where The Witcher ended. While it's not necessary to play the first game, I would recommend you do to acquaint yourself with the lore and enjoy the game even further. In this regard, the series include a very nice feature where it detects Witcher 1 saves and adjusts your experience based on decisions made during the first game, plus a few rewards as well; this cross-game feature carries over to the third game too from what I've read. Assassins of Kings keeps the virtues that made the first game great; meaningful decisions that are completely up to the player, crossroads, plenty of side quests, alchemy, and a revised, very interesting skill tree that will keep you thinking about how to distribute your hard-earned talents. While the main story is. in some ways, quite linear, it's riddled with many decisions you have to make that will have a lesser or higher impact. Additionally, there are 2 main paths in the overarching story that are very different and give the game real replay value (I will probably play it again at some point in the future). Now, not all was good. There were sections in the game - Loc Muinn was particularly bad - where I got a considerable number of crashes to desktop. While the auto-save was spot on and I never lost significant progress, it's a shame CDPR didn't take the time to iron these issues out. This is probably a 9.5/10.
