The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Remains Free On GOG

Not sure it's really worth it now, especially if you've already played three, but I still personally find it to be a really great game and my second favorite in the trilogy. The biggest issue for me was just trying to get into it in the first place. For a lack of better reasoning, it kind of has a slow first several hours. When I decided that I felt it was necessary I finish it before the third came out (I had already finished two prior when it came onto the 360) I stuck to it and ended up really, really liking it a lot.

The game is pretty much The Witcher 3 but you're less in control of your actions in combat so to speak since its a tap on enemy and watch him attack kind of thing, the world is smaller (although it is still a good size, and dissimilar to The Witcher 2, not linear), the music is great which makes me want to go on YouTube to listen to it now, and good character moments. If you can look past its few flaws, and haven't already played The Witcher 3, it's definitely worth checking out.

You'd get a good 50 or so hours out of it, which is almost twice as much as The Witcher 2, but far, far less than The Witcher 3 mind you.

CDPR FTW... They had some similar promo last year for a free copy of the game as well

nice. i only had the original version. gameplay kinda sucks in it but lots of filthy witchering to be had still.

They are always thinking of their customers.

These European developers seem to value the design style that North American studios pioneered. I think they should try and make their stamp on the industry - then we'd have NA, Japan, and EU rather than NA, Japan and NA-style.

No thank you. Wouldn't even play for free.

Love the first game , despite it's mountain load of flaws it still ends up being an utterly engrossing game, and still to this day one of my favorite RPG's

A slow awkward start eventually opens up into an entertaining varied game thanks to its great characters and just like the 3rd game its interesting quests, the combat as terrible as it is at first gets much better when you get used to what stances to use and get the timing down and if you spend to upgrade your magic it eventually stops being the hinderence you at first thought it was.

And it just does not get better value than free!

if you get it, can you put it onto steam?

Aw man. I bought it $5 ten years ago. I could’ve saved my money and gotten it now instead. :)

These auto-play videos are extremely annoying.

It's a shame that White Wolf console version never came out. It probably would've helped get a lot more people into the series before Wild Hunt.

I have to say I enjoyed this game immensely when I got my hands on it. It was the enhanced, not the original addition.

It had great story, great characters and the combat was pretty good too. The combat is more simplified than witchers 2 and 3 - but I wouldnt say it is a bad combat system by any means.

Also I give this extra points for having the best version of Zoltan in all three games. In this game he is bright and funny - he has a great sense of humor. In witchers 2 and 3 he is bleak and depressing - with quotes like "Its a dogs life Geralt."

Overall I would say this game is a great way to get into the witcher series and it should not be missed.

Witcher two is avoid at all must. Dragon in a tower boss battle is the worst end boss ever. Gerald of rails.

Thanks for the heads-up

• The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition -- $3 (-85%)
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -- $20 (-50%)
• ? I don't think so! -_-

Great freebie for RPG fans that stand floaty weightless combat. You forgive that? then you'll have a great long time.

I remember playing the first. You get over the graphics and glitchy animations after a while.

Glad i did. I got the full background on Geralt and the other characters. Finished it, finished 2 but surprisingly, haven't finished 3 yet.

I'm sorry, but this game doesn't really hold up nowdays. I tried playing it a year ago and everything about it just feels outdated. But hey, a free game is a free game.

Any RPG fan should experience the first Witcher game. Just make sure you've got some patience.
