The Witcher

Great Suprise RPG

User Rating: 9 | The Witcher PC

I was a bit suprised at how much I like this game. At first I was a bit put off by the character development and combat system, but once you get into the story and depth of the environment you seem to forget all that.

The graphics are much like that from NWN2. The camera control has been simplified a bit and in doing so you have a little less control over the camera. If that is a good or bad thing is up to the user. The controls are very similar to any other action based rpg.

Where this game really shines is the story. There feels like a lot of freedom to explore and adventure outside of the main storyline. Haven't experienced this kind of story since BG2.
