Witcher 2 does not suffer copying story from books. And unlike Witcher 3 it does not suffer open world where story have to be versatile with many side quests. Best storyline out of three games. Controls and camera ... are not better than first game, but different. It tried to go better modern RPG ways combat system and... In small rooms with open doors you are going to SUFFER. In large open areas on the other hand, enemies are way too easy. Scripts Scripts Scripts. At least for me, worst controls and worst space for movement out of three games. Graphics are pretty pretty. Go for it, but beware small areas.
3,5-4 Stars mainstream story, consoles, and good work as usual below 15 Euros I recomend it for anyone sometimes playing computer games below 25 Euros I recomend it for RPG players(action and story RPG) for Witcher fans it is musthave! Witcher 3 has great story development and what you choose to do influence the tale.(better than Telltale games). Just like with books I could not wait Fighting is enertaining and for me there was still something to learn. The game´s length is just to learn up all and not get bored. Game's RPG system, meaning talents, items... just fine and if the balance come in half a year or with mods... I am pretty sure it could be called perfect. Game is modable! Mods could be great, unfortunatelly yet no balanced mods for me in this time. Graphics are beautiful. With utilities, f.e. addon launcher "Hunter's config", you have lots of posibilites to set and so you can adjust it exactly for yourself. Together with Gameworks(at least I think it's because of it) game has BEST ragdolls I ever seen, actually don't think it's "ragdoll" anymore. Wind and hair/hairs(even without Hairworks) are best I've seens too. Fire itself is also very good but not affected by wind, otherwise it could be best too. The bad think about this is that for FHD gameplay you need r9 280/GTX 960 or higher. Well, high cost high experience. The game is unfortunatelly hybrid when we look at platforms. Inventory is clearly aimed to be for PC, but character movement and camera and "usables" are for XOne/PS4 controllers. Together with unpleasant keybinding(through notepad) it gets -0,5 star from me. And -0,5 star for all those small things. Often stupid human AIs(even role-play "skilled" soldiers like Elite nilfgardians or Wild hunt soldiers), f.e. whole group stops and wait until I come to them, but I shot all of them to death with crossbow, terrible. Some bugs. Not good sound... actually bad sound. Sound immersion for conversations are 0 *cry*. For me it was unoptimization for Kepler GPU. I was considering -1 whole star but... hell this is not 60% game, 70% is just what it worth in current stage. For those who read books and played games before(well it's me) it gets another -0,5 star for mainstream story and several nonsenses through the game.
