The Witcher 2

Before I begin, a video:



The Witcher 2 is definitely the best game I've played in a long time. First off, a bit of a digression: why don't games come with amazing game manuals anymore? I remember every time I drove home with my mom from the mall and she bought me a game, I would sit beaming reading the box and the manual over and over again. Now, most games come in crappy DVD boxes with no manual (just a .pdf if you're lucky). Game manuals help immersion immensely, putting you in the story of the game before you even play the game.

I bring this up because The Witcher 2 has the best game manual and box additions I have seen in years.

The Witcher 2's immersion is unmatched nowadays, with beautiful graphics and an extremely compelling storyline, with action combat that is great (albeit a bit clunky at times), and plenty of content to keep you playing.

Overall, The Witcher 2 is an amazing game and a must buy for any PC gamer.

  2. I've heard so much good stuff about this, but haven't gotten around to playing the first one yet. I'll have to go track it down then get this one later :)

  4. I absolutely loved the Witcher. That said, the Witcher 2 just isn't that great to me. I miss the old Geralt character model and voice actor and the combat system is absolutely terrible.

    I like that they have gotten away from the first game and progressed with the series, but I just wish they had left the combat alone.
