Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей

Originally I missed this game. Since it was available cheap, I decided to try it, and inmediately played through twice. Pros: - immersive gameplay with gritty atmosphere - well-written, CDPR has very good writers - important characters are not clichés. You sympathize with enemies, and sometimes loath your allies. Often you cannot decide which is which. This part is great. - no handholding and immersion breaking quest markers on the map - nice surprises - choices and consequences (even though the follow up in Witcher 3 is lousy) - nice weapon and armor progression - looks! Armor designs are better then W3! Cons: - strange difficulty curve. Or rather brick wall. The beginning in Flotsam is super harsh. The game then gets progressively easier, up to the point of seemingly playing with a god mode with cheat in the end. - some annoying QTEs. (you can turn them off in the menu) - the game has a bad habit of a cutscene leading you into a fight scene with no save - this ties into potions. You have to drink them before the cutscene, but you have to know that the cutscene will lead you into a fight. This won't happen on your first playthrough. - crafting component weight is not really thought out - I am not bad in rpg puzzles, but I had to use gamebanshee's walkthrough on a few occasions Tips: - a mod from nexus, called "weight watchers". This makes every crafting component 0 kg - there is a "navigate to wraith infested battlefield" section in mid game. You get a talisman to guide you through it, but the game doesn't tell you to _use it with pressing the Y key_ - gamebanshee's walkthrough is nice if you cannot figure out a puzzle Overall I think this game holds up well. The only really annoying thing is the inventory weights, but you can nullify it with a small mod. Controls are not the best, and graphics are 2010, but if you can get over these, the experience is worth it. Definietly in my personal TOP10 of post-2000 rpgs.

Я прошёл эту игру и не разу не пожалел об этом. Ведьмак 2 показывает как нужно делать игры - интересный сюжет, неленейность, и интересные доп.квесты. Если вы купили эту игру пройдите её 2 раза, поверьте, это того стоит. 10 Геральтов из 10.

I just wanted to thank CD Projekt RED for making such a great game and renewing it with massive content without expecting additional payment. If you didnt play Witcher series, you are missing a lot! Both games has to be played if you really like this genre. I am proud of supporting you guys (got the steam version) and hope you will come up with many more great games like this one.

I loved The Witcher 2, even more than The Witcher 1. Graphics are gorgeous, combat system is AWESOME, storytelling and characters are epic and the first 2 chapters are really nice. The only big flaws I see with the game is that chapter 3 was clearly rushed and left "incomplete", not to mention how short it is: it almost feels like another game, really. The Witcher 2 EE is a true gem and I strongly recommend it to everyone in search for a really good game, but I believe it could have been even better if only the developement team spent more time on chapter 3. Maybe the publishers rushed it... who knows? A shame, though!

Игру прошёл на одном дыхании, как раз перед выходом Дикой Охоты...погрузился окончательно в мир Ведьмака
