巫师加强版

Suprisingly fun, if sometimes very aggrovating RPG. This game nails immersion, and has some of the best dialogue I have ever heard/read, the kind of quality that carried over to the other games in the franchise. The dialogue got plenty of reactions out of me. It was intriguing, funny, "deep", tense and so many other things. Something that was none of those things except maybe "tense", like your muscles would be if you had some kind of seizure, is the combat and the animations. They're really bad. The animations often look terrible, everyone sort of just stands there like a dork and the camera can go all over the place during dialogue. The combat is... something. I don't even know. It's just a big mess. Imagine a 3rd person diablo game, except really really bad, that's kinda it. You WILL die because of the system's flaws, many many times. You will get stuck, you will randomly freeze, Geralt will just refuse to draw his weapon. And you will, most likely, get very angry. There is basically a delay between everything Geralt does. Click on an enemy, and he will stare at them for a second, THEN attack. Drink a potion, he will contemplate life a second, and THEN drink it. It is so rough, the fact that it is also easily exploited and that bosses can be endlessly kited around pillars for example, is often welcome. But, if you can get past that crap (it's kinda hard to). You will find an overall enjoyable RPG, with some really amazing dialogue, characters, monsters, world and story. Like really amazing, pure 10/10 stuff. It also sets a lot of the ground rules for the rest of the franchise. Playing this will give you a completely different perspective on the other two games. You sort of learn what to focus on, what to try and get enjoyment out of. Playing this has made me enjoy Witcher 3 much, much more for example. It's also rather long, I have 35,9 hours just from one single playthrough. Where I skipped most of the sidequests, it will take you around 60 hours to actually finish everything, maybe more. And then there is a decent amount of replayability, because you make much more extreme choices with Geralt than in the other two games. If you can bare the combat enough to actually replay it, that is.

I wouldn't describe it as a great game but it did hold my interest despite it's many, many flaws. I did enjoy getting to know characters and world of the Witcher series. It has a unique feel that makes it stand out and make me glad I played it. There are weird stuff though, like the playing cards awarded for sleeping with female characters which felt very juvenile. You can definitely skip this one, but if you're curious like I was you might find a fun if eurojank experience.

Definetly one of best atmosphere in gaming history

The game delivers an engaging RPG adventure with its captivating story and intricate world. I was fortunate to have already obtained it for FREE on GOG, was a fantastic opportunity. I'm glad I managed to snag the game before the free offer ended. Thank you GOG! Highly recommend trying this one first before the other two series.

One of the best games of all time!
