The Witcher

for fans of the books or bored RPG players

User Rating: 6.5 | The Witcher PC

The good - a nice world that has the protagonist live in it rather then having the world revolve around him. Rich and developed story line for the world as a whole. Character decisions go beyond the basic good/evil choices. Plenty of side quests.

The Bad - unimaginative game-play. Think Titan Quest or Diablo II but not as fluid. Main story line tries to be mature but often falls into immaturity. Lots of load screens. Too many linear paths in "open" zones. Quick enemy re-spawns. The main story often leaves you wondering why am I going to this location or who is this person I am looking for? I'm sure fans of the books would not have these questions but for those people who have not read them, I'm sure such questions arise.

The Ugly - The voice acting and dialog run anywhere from bad to dread-full.

  Bad points : - The load times are pretty excessive, but that only gets annoying if you have to hop into and out off a lot of houses. The game just drops everything outside from memory when you go inside. I just read a ... Read Full Review
