![]() I’ll get back to this near the end of the review. And all the major paths are worth exploring just to see some other character/plot details that go unseen through your first playthrough (mainly in Chapter 2, learning more about Henselt or learning more about Saskia). That being said, some of the decisions you make change just how satisfied you may be with the ending. Witcher 2 basically has 2 different paths with 2 different endings. An element carried on even further in Witcher 3 which builds upon the “Choose Your Own Adventure” aspect of Witcher 2 tremendously. Usually the best you can hope for is something bittersweet. You will likely make a choice that you believe is the right thing to do, but there are usually downsides to it in one way or another. And depending on the path you take, you might not be able to get to this scene to make this decision.Īnd best of all, your actions carry heavy consequences. This decision carries heavy consequences, killing a despicable and vile king who can unite Temeria and make most of the population happy, content, and peaceful. Pretty damn well-written too, with the dialogue and all, even just from NPCs who don’t have much of an impact on the overall story. It’s practically Game of Thrones-like (certainly has all the elements for it: sex, violence, and politics). If you miss something, all the more reason to play it through again. This is a very densely layered game in terms of plot, and it demands your attention in order to keep up with everything that is going on. The political game Geralt is forced into, the characters and their motivations, and how much of a grey zone everything is morally. In fact, the storyline in Witcher 2 is more deep and intriguing than in 1 and 3. The gameplay is easier to get into, the gameplay doesn’t expect/require you to “grind” by killing a bunch of monsters to level up to make it easier later, and the storyline is investing from the opening moment and onwards without a dull moment to be found. Witcher 2 takes care of several issues the first game had. Mel Gibson, you get in on this game-to-film shit right now! If you have a problem with that, too bad. And the graphics aren’t up to par with that of Witcher 2 and 3, even with the mods (though mods do help). And the gameplay is different than in Witcher 2 and 3. It takes a while before that game gets going (when you’re nearly halfway through the bloody game, and it isn’t short none of them are). Because the first game tests your patience. I played the first one after this one, and may eventually do a review for it some time down the road when I summon the willpower to get through that one. But this is the first Witcher game I have played in the franchise. This game adaptation may have “2” in the title, indicating that there’s a Witcher 1, which there is, and I have played it. ![]() This game has a moment where they tell this story, minus the her begging to have sex part. ![]() Rather, it has its own story with some inspiration from the novels, but keeps the characters and their motivations fairly accurate. It’s important to use the term “based,” because it doesn’t exactly follow the storyline of the books all that accurately. You’ve been warned.Īnyway, this game franchise is based on a series of novels (though they did start as short stories before growing into novels that linked together into a cohesive narrative). This will also include sexually explicit content. It’s going to be one of those reviews, so I’m putting up the warning signs. And with that rating, you can rightfully expect that this will be a glowing review with praises and hugs and kisses. ![]()
