The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

Great story, gamplay not so much

This is probably the best story CDPR pulled, but aside from these many political, romance and religious battles the game, the gameplay that is not quite what it should be. There is a vision, perhaps hard to birth into reality, but a lot is not executed well, specially the potions that can only be taken during rest, instead of just outside battle. The hardest difficulties aren't very working, group battles are very weird. All and all it has great ideas and at least on the story side is fantastic but at the actual thing is lacking the finishing touches. Graphics are really what shines here, being held by too simple anymations and eyes that don't follow characters. But there is nothing to top it, even the sequel doens't get this pretty and atmospheric. Not to mention that is is the best Geralt character, not to pretty, not ugly at all. Choices are quite really fantastic and gives you different perspectives and polical choices that I love so much in RPGs, which makes it quite replayable. Not a 5/5 because of the middle-of-the-road gameplay, the fighting is a downer with QTEs. But is such a lovely incarnation of the Witcher, it's world and the Polish voice acting is more than perfect than ever here.
