    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is one of the finest examples of how great an RPG can be.

    Tough, but fair. Consider it the price of admission to one of the most memorable and best written fantasy video games you'll ever play.

    As a world-building exercise, The Witcher 2 succeeds masterfully but there are deep flaws in its game design.

    This is without a doubt my pick for "Game of the Year." Gameplay, dialogue, and characters are all incredibly deep, and the decisions you make have a profound impact on the remainder of the game. Any negative points I could add would be nothing more than nitpicking.… Expand

    The game is mediocre at best, due to developers never stopping to think what would actually be fun in a game. Would it be fun to wander around without knowing which way is north? No, but that's what you are forced to do. Would it be fun to not be able to drink potions in battle? No, but you have to spend a minute navigating menus and watching Geralt take a sip and a breath every time you do. You also have to repeat the process every 10 minutes. Would it be fun to have size 3 font at HD resolutions? No, but that's how it is. Would it be fun to be unable to attack at full strength after using signs? No, but, inexplicably, that's how it is.… Expand
