巫师2：国王刺客加强版

It's is amazing seeing how a small development crew,as CD Projekt,could not only face face to face huge developers games like Bethesdas Elder Scrolls:Skyrim,but maybe surpass them by sacrificing the huge world,the enormous amount of content and glitches(yes i'm evil) to give an immersive story with superb storytelling,an incredible combat system which is so fun it could have been a game itself and respect to the gamer this is the best RPG of this generation and maybe of all times.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with TigerLord's review: TW2 has awesome story-telling and beautiful graphics, but in mechanics it falls way short of its predecessor. I don't want to expand on the points already mentioned by TigerLord (bad inventory system, pointless alchemy system, in my opinion worse and less dynamic fighting system), but there is one thing that really irks me: invisible walls. While in TW1 I could basically roam freely (outside of the city), the "open" areas of TW2 are full of invisible walls and insurmountable small ledges. Getting to a quest objective quickly becomes a frustrating game of "let's find the way the devs wanted me to go - which is the only one they didn't block", instead of the free-roaming in TW1. In the swamps in TW1 I could decide whether to run cross-field and risk a dangerous fight - but hope to find something awesome - or to follow the safer roads. In the woods in TW2 I can't stray more than a few meters from the path without hitting an invisible wall. This really badly breaks the immersion and leads to a lot of frustration. For me, it kills a great RPG and makes it into a movie where I am allowed to press the W key and kill a few enemies from time to time. A great movie, yes - but still just a movie.

This is a great game that really feels crafted with love and attention to detail, and while I want to give this game a 4 1/2 for the combat which could use much improvement, I feel this game is closer to a 5 than a 4 and will give it such.

The game represents a significant leap in terms of graphical quality and mechanics compared to its predecessor. While it is an impressive title in many aspects, I personally find it falls short compared to its predecessor due to some challenges it presents. One of the first noticeable differences is the difficulty of the game. Right from the start, players face a steep learning curve. The scarcity of indicators on the mini-map, vague mission descriptions, and labyrinthine chapter maps can disorient players, resulting in a frustrating experience, affecting immersion and enjoyment. The level of difficulty is further emphasized by the need to pay attention to every detail. The in-game glossary becomes an essential tool to understand the world and missions. While this adds depth to the experience, those unwilling to fully immerse themselves in the game's lore may feel lost, leading them to turn to online videos or guides to progress in the story. The plot itself has a relatively short/medium duration and primarily focuses on political intrigues and king's conspiracies. While this may be appealing to some players, others may not find it as thrilling. The lack of a more varied narrative could have been improved to provide a more exciting and diverse experience. However, it provides a detailed context for understanding the story and world of the subsequent game in the next game. The events and characters presented in this game set the stage for the epic journey that will follow, which can be a compelling incentive for fans of the franchise. In summary, while this game offers a visually impressive experience and adds depth to the overall franchise's story, its high difficulty and focus on politics may not appeal to all players. Despite this, those seeking a better understanding of the series' overall narrative and who are willing to face strategic challenges will find an entertaining experience.

In principal, Witcher 2 is a great RPG. The stroytelling is much better than it was in its predecessor where the main quest virtually disapperead for 3 acts. The controlls are different but ultimately equally bad in my opinion but this doesn't really matter once you're immersed in the compelling narrative. However, the german version of the game reproducably crashes whenever there are umlauts (ä,ö,ü) displayed during cutscenes. Only a fix made by the community helps, not by preventing the crashes but by replacing the umlauts troughout the whole game. For a fully patched "Enhanced Edition", this is just inexcusable, therefore I substract 3 stars.
