The Witcher 2 is a good follow-up to the first game and builds directly on its story. Therefore, I would recommend playing or at least familiarizing yourself with The Witcher 1’s story before playing this game. At the beginning of the game, there is a lot going on story-wise that could be difficult to follow if you are unfamiliar with the first game. Your choices from the first game can be imported and will slightly change some situations and dialogue. The prologue in this game is very slow and difficult to get through, which caused me to leave this game on the shelf for many years after attempting it twice. However, this game is quite a gem once you proceed to the first chapter and beyond, and I am glad that I gave it another chance. Like the first game, the story is very well written and full of intrigue. The plot slowly unveils itself and leaves you engaged and excited for what comes next. There are quite a few meaningful decisions for you to make that significantly change the direction of the story and even physically change the world. Also, the side-quests were interesting enough that they were all worth doing. Graphically, the game still looks great today, and the leap from the first game is tremendous. The movement and combat both felt very smooth and fun to play with. Also, the inventory and menu navigation felt more modernized and were easy to use, even on a controller. The mini-games are enjoyable and provide a nice break from all of the intrigue and action of the main story. Most of the voice acting and dialogue are great, with lots of humor shining through. Lastly, the default sound mix is pretty bad, with the sound effects and music being way too loud and drowning out the dialogue. I would suggest tweaking it immediately. There were enough bugs in the game that I felt they needed a mention. If cloud save was enabled, I found that the game would crash frequently as the amount of save files built up, so I would recommend turning it off or deleting saves as you go. I noticed that sometimes the vocal tracks or music would not play for some cutscenes, which is disappointing. Companion collision sometimes forced me through objects or got me stuck in corners where escaping was impossible, so save often. Overall, the game was short and sweet and left me wanting more. This short length can be attributed to the very brief third act, which felt a bit rushed. With the story branching, it was worth playing through twice to see all of the choices missed in the first playthrough. The conclusion of the game nicely sets up for The Witcher 3 and was satisfying. 8/10
- Before you buy if you're starting your Witcher adventures from the first game? None, you're gonna play it anyways. - Before you buy if you've played Witcher 3 and you're thinking of going backwards: The Witcher 2 isn't necessarily an open-world experience. The game progression is fairly streamlined, sacrificied to an insane amount of player agency throughout the game making subsequent acts into almost a different game altogether - and, of course, that sacrifice also comes with the playtime (one playthrough is going to take you 30-40 hours even with all the side quests). Lore-wise, I wish this game had more witchering, but since the story is HIGHLY political (and Geralt sure lets us know how much he enjoys that) you'll be more likely fighting far more humanoids than monsters. Worth playing not just for the experience itself, but also for what exporting a Witcher 2 save could give to your next Witcher 3 playthrough. Took me just over 70 hours to do a 100% in terms of achievements, including the permadeath difficulty - which is like 2 times less than one full, immersive playthrough of Wild Hunt so you're welcome to making conclusions :D
