Modern games should learn something from this game... Rpgs nowadays are mostly mindless grinding and soulless slaying of monsters... The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is not. The graphics, sounds, environment, characters, story... Everything is well made and have a realistic feel on them. It actually feels more like reading the books than playing the game sometimes, because the story is a very deep one. None of the characters are entirely good or evil, because everyone has a personal motive for helping (or opposing) Geralt. Of course, the game s not perfect. The environment is pretty linear (free roam would eat some core parts of the book-like feel though) and the story was a pretty short. The battle system might not be the best in the world, but still feels pretty good. Overall, Witcher 2 is a hardcore fantasy rpg, that no one should miss.
