The Witcher: Enhanced Edition: Geralt's Awkward Teenage Years Regret: 38% (the combat is a rhythm game nobody asked for) This is where it all started, and it shows. The combat is basically clicking in rhythm, the animations are stiff and every NPC seems to share the same five faces. But the story, the atmosphere and the choices are already there. It's a bit like looking at old photos of a friend who became really good-looking later. 35 hours of respect for the ancestors.
I personally played the game with mods, and I enjoyed it much more this time compared to when I played it years ago. The story is still great, especially for such an old game, and the soundtrack is excellent. The mods also gave the game a nicer overall feel and made the experience more enjoyable for me. If you want to play The Witcher today, I recommend either modding the game or waiting for the upcoming remake. I used this guide for the mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2754683515
I Was gonna try witcher 2 before next month when i can play 3 with new GPU. Start game it says "do you want to carry over save state from first game" WHHHHAAAAATTTT ♥♥♥♥ YES I DO! LETS PLAY NUMBER 1 YOOO!!! Plus its awesome like Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale, neverwinter or other juicy old school RPGS what was that weirdly good one microsoft produced oh man the golden age of games.
if you have patience: play it, get used to the combat and go through the entire game anyway; ignore the graphics, they actually add more to the game than not, they're immersive given the medieval aspects of the game. if you don't have patience: watch someone play it on youtube. I heavily recommend playing it, i've had a blast throughout the 7h i played and i'm really enjoying the game, but if it's not your cup of tea, skip it. I'm loving it.
<--{ Gameplay }--> -The combat felt really weird at first and I had no idea what I was doing but once I got used to the timing system it became surprisingly addictive. -Leveling up was always satisfying and I often spent way too much time thinking about which talent to unlock next. -I also spent way too much time playing Dice Poker. I was somehow really good at it and made a lot of money from pure luck. ☐ Totally Addictive ☑ Very good ☐ Standard gameplay ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Kinda Boring ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't <--{ Graphics }--> -I didn't expect much from a game this old but I was honestly surprised by how good it looks. -For its age the game looks beautiful and had no problem getting me immersed in the world. ☐ You'll forget what reality is ☐ Absolutely Stunning ☑ Beautiful ☐ Decent ☐ Ugly ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ You might go blind <--{ Audio }--> -Some songs got repetitive because you hear them so many times throughout each chapter. -I don't remember most of the soundtrack but there were a few songs that I genuinely liked. ☐ Eargasm ☐ Masterpiece ☑ Good ☐ Forgettable ☐ Very Bad ☐ Painful to Listen <--{ Story }--> -I liked the story and it kept me interested all the way through. -Geralt is a interesting character and the first game did a good job setting up the world and making me curious about the next games. -There are plenty of choices throughout the game but honestly most of them didn't seem to change much in the end. ☐ Life-Changing ☐ Very memorable ☑ Engaging ☐ Average ☐ Some lore ☐ No Story <--{ Difficulty }--> -The game isn't very difficult but I still managed to die quite a few times. -Most fights can be handled with basic upgrades, decent timing and potions. ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls <--{ 100% Completion }--> -Since the game doesn't have achievements there really isn't much to grind for. -I completed every quest I picked up to get more Xp but it isn't necessary for a completion. ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Just A Relaxing Cleanup ☐ Time-Consuming But Fun ☐ Mentally Draining ☐ Why Am I Doing This ☐ Literal Torture <--{ Game Time }--> -My playthrough took around 90 hours but that's mostly because I did every side quest I found and also played through all of the additional stories. -If you focus mostly on the main story it will probably be much shorter but it's still a long game. ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☑ Very long ☐ You'll never touch grass again <--{ Bugs }--> -I ran into a few bugs during my playthrough mostly quest related ones. -They were annoying at times but nothing that completely ruined the experience. ☐ What bugs ☐ Minor bugs ☑ Can get annoying ☐ Worse than a mosquito ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs <--{ PC Requirements }--> -The game is old and runs well on pretty much anything. -You definitely don't need a powerful PC to enjoy it. ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent: for basic play ☐ Fast: for best experience ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer <--{ ? / 10 }--> ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10
