The editors didn't like

  • Combat takes getting used to and never becomes fantastic
  • Pacing problems
  • Too many quick-time events.

  • A variety of bugs
  • Combat sometimes ventures into cheap territory
  • Unsatisfying conclusion.
  • Mouse cursor is inaccurate

  • You have to modify the .ini to get
  • Targeting system suffers from ADD and will lead to your death repeatedly

  • Regardless of the lack of DX11, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a visually stunning game and it's right up there with Crysis 2 as the best looking DX9 titles around. While patch v1.1 delivered a much-needed performance boost, The Witcher 2 is sti...

  • Abstract:  The Witcher 2 is such a fucking treat. Rarely does a series so lavishly reward its fans for participating in a game's fiction as the Witcher series aims to do, but the fruits of CDProjekt RED's labor are readily apparent in Assassins of Kings, and a to...

  • Abstract:  It is becoming difficult these days to find a major developer that isn’t trying to pander to a wider audience. This is understandable since they want to expand their market and make more money. This attempt at widening the appeal of high budget games h...

  • If you are 17 years of age or older, you owe it to yourself to pickup The Witcher 2 right away. This is EXACTLY the kind of gameplay experience that shows off what the PC platform is capable of and it is just a shame that more companies are not willing to...

  • The story is as in-depth as the first game, though a bit shorter in length. Little decisions can have big consequences further down the line. Who should live and who should die? Stealth or blood-bath? Scold or romance? The story itself is fairly linea...

  • Abstract:  Still, this is real replay value, not the sort we are used to where you can just reload the last save and choose the other door to see how it plays out. To figure out what would have happened, you actually have to replay the game, or at least a significant chunk of it.

  • Abstract:  Way back in 2007, a little Polish developer by the name of CD Projekt RED wowed PC gamers everywhere with The Witcher, a traditional yet fresh new RPG based on the famed novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. This being their first title, and a big one at that, ...

  • Abstract:  Eastern European developers continue to show that they understand the heart of the PC gamer with The Witcher 2, a title that challenges players with its difficult combat, old-school attitude, and mature story. Digital rights management. Sloppy ports. P...

  • The Witcher 2 embodies everything that's good about PC development and everything that makes it, in my mind, the best platform out there. It tells a mature tale full of intrigue, mystery and frustrating but satisfying combat, and while it is difficult...
