Hoped for more

I loved the original Witcher, and maybe my expectations were too high. Although this installment is visually spectacular and much more polished, I never quite felt immersed. The skill tree is a weak point, and the locations lacked character. Stealth scenes felt unecessarily irritating. In the original I wanted to explore every corner, and I didn't connect in the same way in this release. Nevertheless, I heartity recommend both games, but don't skip the original.
