Amazing game! Feel lucky I finally was able to play Witcher 1 and 2 before getting to do a replay of the all time classic that is 3, this time with more background and lore understanding! Though 1 and 2 hold their own as incredible games as well.
frigg yes. i had a hard time getting in to it. i didnt understand the mechanics. so i wrote it off as a BAD game. but i gave it another chance. and when the mechanics clicked for me, it became a masterpiece, gameplay wise. i dont find the story as engaging as Witcher 3, but i realy love the gameplay. Witcher 3 is in my top 5 games of all time. witcher 2 is not that high, BUT, its harder, and thus i find it more rewarding, which is fun.
get this game, for christs sake get this game if you like RPG games and Witcher 3
Really enjoyed what I played of the game, completed act 1 and probably half way or more through act 2. Feels a bit dated but holds up for the most part. Combat is ok but I feel like Witcher 3 combat was the finalised version.
Good story, grahpics for its age are good and I can see the roots here as to where witcher 3 would come from but the bad in this game like bad animations to terrible cut scenes not to mention bugs like falling threw floors or getting stuck on the other side of doors that are open or black screens and even the CTDs that occur cause the games auto save feature while not being bad never over writes the last auto save and constantly makes new saves that after 2 or 3 hours can leave you with almost 100 save files that cause the game to CTD which means to fix the CTD issue is you have to make sure your saves do not go past 6 or 7.. I can see where the game the witcher 3 is coming from but this has so many annoying anomalies in it that it outright makes it not worth playing cause to be honest I beat it and felt my time was wasted due to the annoying issues that stemed from playing it in the first place. However I was bored and shovled through it cause I was curious of the games story which I will say was not that bad. I would say this game sits at a 5/10 there is just so many issues that happen playing it that it kills the immersion and the fun you would of had if it did not have so many issues.
Big improvement from the first one. It is a challenging game, the story is shorter but still very good. If you enjoy the witcher universe you will enjoy this one as it really leads into the 3rd, even if they ignore one route of this game in the 3rd.
Fantastic Sequel to the Witcher 1 and Fantastic Prequel to the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Perfectly meshes all three games together. This game is not missing any of the elements from the other games. However, it does improve but also lose some of the quality in the mechanics. It is also the shortest game of the trilogy. That being said, like the other Witcher games, Story is 10/10 and to this day the Witcher trilogy is one of the top RPG roads.
Love these games...
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

+
Graphics
The game has stood the test of time and still looks great almost 14 years later
Original books references
The game has many references to events from the books and some interesting characters that the CD gave new life to by adding them to the game and I like so much
Story
I really liked the story, it was very interesting and intriguing for me
2 times
2 times. You have to finish the game 2 times to see whole content. In the game, at the end of Act 1, you will have to make a choice that will affect the further story. Because of this choice, we have a two completely different Act 2. I mean completely different locations, characters, quests, etc. How many games like this do you know?
Characters
Geralt, Triss, Dandelion, Zoltan, Roche, Iorweth.. They are cool
Side quests
Here you will see a lot of good side quests in the game and I don't remember of a single bad one. I'm serious here. I really don't remember a single bad side quest in the game
[hr][/hr]
±
Music
The ambient is beautiful, I really liked it very much. About OST.. There is not much OST in The Witcher 2. And among this small number there is a really good OST but there is very little of it and hearing the same OST every time in the same location throughout the entire act is a bit disappointing
[hr][/hr]
-
NPCs
They are not alive. They do not have their own daily routine as it was in The Witcher 1. They either sleep or stand in the same place and do the same animation
Broken economy
The traders here are richest people in the world because they sell things for some unrealistic prices, but you sell them for pennies, and it doesn't matter if it's trash or one of the best armor in the game. You really have to grind(kill monsters and sell them for nothing) if you WANT to buy recipes and craft armor set that appears on higher difficulty in each act. I only lasted for two acts. Not for me
Combat System
Absolutely broken. Set traps for a few seconds during combat? Traps that Geralt should set before combat? Yes. Enemies block your attacks without block animation? Yes. Enemies ignore your attacks and continue their attack animation and kill you? Yes. CD in one of the updates disabled health regen during Quen, thinking that it was better? YES. Bad QTE? Yes. Bombs and knives are OP? Yes. I wouldn't say that these problems greatly affect the gameplay and perception of the game, but the fact that they exist is annoying. The combat system in The Witcher 1 was much better
Tons of cut content
Typical CD Projekt
[hr][/hr]
[b]
9/10
game crashes a lot because of an bug with save files, too many of them causes the game to crash
Great second installment to the series. Much more content to explore and do than the first game, but also takes some getting used to coming from the first game. combat is significantly different, dialogue seems to carry more weight in this game as well which is quite nice to be honest.
I want OG Dandelion back
Its a solid RPG that feels nostalgic, especially if you’ve experienced the brilliance of The Witcher 3. The story is rich and engaging, with tough choices that really make you think, and the world is beautifully crafted. That said, the controls can be a bit frustrating at times, especially during combat, which takes some getting used to. Despite that, it’s a rewarding game overall and a great way to dive deeper into Geralt’s journey.
This game isn't that hot, the combat is the most clunky and overcomplicated combat i've ever experienced. your attack animations are based on where your character is facing the opponent and how far you are from the opponent which this game never tells you.
Fights where you are outnumbered 4 to 1, or 5 to 1, are extremely common. and i cannot recommend this game on this premise alone.
Aside from that, the game story is pretty good, the asthetic is meh despite the graphics being very good for its time, and the OST is as forgettable is it gets, i cannot remember a single remarkable OST from witcher 2. For its credit though the game is somewhat non-linear, and depending on your choices it can drastically change the outcome of the plot, but this is where my praise ends.
i give this a 3.9/10 below mediocre
Still has masterful storytelling. Characters are interesting
Combat is greatly improved from 1 but has some questionable hitbox from time to time.
Drinking potion becomes tedious, very bad design change.
Some missions doesn't tell you where to go ultimately just wasting time.
Lets see well I am probably a minority here but over the years i wanted to play Witcher 3 and every time i tried getting into it i just couldnt. But about 6months ago i bought the first 2 games Witcher 1 and Witcher 2. I finally got some time and went into Witcher 1 and well lets just say it was not my favorite game. Now having finished Witcher 2 I can safely say that the jump from the first one to this one is MASSIVE, Its an actual game that you can enjoy. gameplay is dated by modern standards but still enjoyable even today, the meditation system is much much better in this game then witcher 1 where you needed to get a room in an INN and i mean do i even have to talk about the combat it speaks for it self. Story was interesting, political just overall very enjoyable and i would probably come back and play it again for the Roach path.
If you played Witcher 3 and are intrested in the witcher world def give this one a try.
As for me I am very much looking forward to playing Witcher 3 now that i know a LOT more about the world. Hoping it goes on sale soon :D
7/10
it's not as good at quality of life as its sequel but still a solid game with a great story and characters
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a game I’ve played multiple times, and every playthrough has been an absolute pleasure. Most recently, I played it on Steam, and it was a nostalgic and rewarding experience that reminded me just how masterfully crafted this game is.
Comparing it to the first game is almost impossible – CD Projekt Red made an incredible leap forward in every aspect. The graphics are stunning, even by today’s standards. The detailed locations, realistic lighting, atmospheric castles, and vibrant cities all come together to create a world that feels alive and immersive.
The gameplay has also seen a massive improvement. Combat is more dynamic and challenging, offering a real sense of accomplishment. The alchemy system, crafting mechanics, and tactical preparation for battles are all integral to success. Every encounter, even with common monsters, requires thought and strategy. For fans of complex and strategic RPGs, this is an absolute treat.
The story is, as always, one of the strongest aspects of the series, and here it truly shines. Watching the relationship between Geralt and Triss evolve is a highlight. Their story is deeper and filled with genuine emotions that make it feel authentic and compelling. Reuniting with Zoltan and Dandelion felt like meeting old friends again, bringing a warm sense of nostalgia.
The political intrigue is another standout feature. Royal conspiracies, wars, assassinations – it all adds a sense of weight and maturity to the narrative. You don’t just feel like a participant in events; you feel like a key player driving the story forward.
One thing I absolutely love about the game is its replayability. With its branching choices and multiple outcomes, every playthrough can feel unique. You constantly reflect on how your decisions shape the story, making it impossible not to come back and experience it differently.
Are there any downsides? A few minor ones. The game is quite challenging for newcomers, and the combat controls can occasionally feel a bit clunky. However, these are small issues compared to the overall experience.
In conclusion, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is not just a game – it’s a masterpiece. It combines a captivating story, complex gameplay, and impressive graphics that still hold up today. If you haven’t played it yet, you absolutely should. And if you have, like me, you’ll find yourself wanting to return to this magical yet brutal world over and over again.
Underrated entry to the series. Plays and feels a lot like a Mass Effect game compared to The Witcher 3 with its levels instead of open world, which is a very good dynamic for a Witcher game.
14hrs Playtime 7/10
The Witcher 2 is one of those games that takes some getting used to but when you get yourself deep into the story and the characters it's a brilliant game. The mechanics are much better than the first one and when you have a grasp on it especially with the combat you can absolutely tear through it. Getting the perfect game wasn't easy as this is a game I had to look up many guides to get through it and had to reload the saves and get through tedious bits again just to get the story based achievements. Good game, still holds up to it and it was one of the games that introduced me to fantasy games when I was a kid.
Too much media is “Kill the bad political leader and the problems go away”. But in this game its like “Sure this king is actual scum of the earth but regicide would just make things worse”. A refreshing perspective
As with all Witcher games it has an amazing story, however like the first Witcher game the combat is brutally average. The Grx are fantastic and the world feels real, dark and dirty.
Some aspect are better than W3, like the meditation system and the fact you actually drink potions. Mini games as always are very fun but the game does cheat at dice.
The main reason to play the Witcher 2 is so you can use your save in the Witcher 3.
I can only recommend this game if you are a hardcore Witcher fan and want to absorb the whole journey of Geralt and use the same save file. Otherwise I would suggest you start with W3.
As a side note, this game is very, very short.
10/10 plot and characters, sometimes very bad balancing on the higher difficulties and quirky controls. But the game is still very much worth it.
The graphics and game play are dated. Yet, it's a good game.
very unresponsive menus and clunky gameplay. just watch a walkthrough for the story
The Witcher 2 was my second adventure into the universe and much like the 3rd game, it was a lot of fun with a good storyline and interesting sidequests (the ones I found anyways) and it also came with a fair amount of janky gameplay that you come to experience with ‘the witcher’ games.
Some of the voice acting is a little phoned in from some important NPCs, an example was what was supposed to be a rousing speech by a character against an attacking army, sounded like a call to dinner compared to a call to arms…
I had some frustration with the menu navigation where I would frequently disrobe Geralt, leaving him bootless or trouserless in some nasty swamp or forest. Yes, this is partly my fault but it was also not very clear what was selected in the menus at times.
Combat was satisfying and Geralt felt like a powerful swordsman, wielding his swords in big sweeping powerful arcs that would strike down foes. The use of magic is always a nice little touch, whether you are setting an enemy on fire or trapping them.
Enemy design is also nice and unique with the occasional little spookiness. It would have been nice to see some different variations here and there, as I believe I only found three different types.
Sound design is, okay. I had a few glitches where I would be leaving a town and I could still hear conversations as if I were breathing down people’s necks, which was rather amusing and also a little gripe of the use of ambient sounds in Vergen… OH MY GOD THE SOUND OF THE CRYING BABY… Does everyone and their mother have a baby in this city, cos it seemed like it! But that is my little gripe where I was getting rather annoyed by a small little thing. Your milage may vary.
Overall, The Witcher 2 is a great 2nd game in the franchise and I would recommend picking this up and playing it if you are a fan. It is a fun and fairly short game; I completed it within 18hrs. If you are itching for another Witcher game to keep you entertained till the release of 4. Pick this up! Well worth the price.
After sinking half of my lifetime into The Witcher 3 i decided I should probably play 1 and 2. I struggled with 1 as it really hasn't aged well so resorted to youtube to learn the story. Moving onto 2 i was very pleasantly surprised how well it plays. So far i'm 10 hours in and after getting used to the differences in gameplay compared with 3 really enjoying it
If you think that the game is too hard, just keep playing it gets easier. The first chapter is the hardest.
And no the controls and gameplay isn't much worse, it's as close to Witcher 3 as it can be without being Witcher 3.
Where it is different from Witcher 3 is in its storytelling, where the story goes deep into the politics of the world of Witcher and this game truly operates in moral greys, as there truly isn't a good or a bad choice here, but they all have consequences.
This game will also make you think about all your choices and its consequences. And that's what's going to make you want to replay the game because you'll realise there's another half of the game that you've straight up not played because the game completely diverges from Chapter 2 onwards.
A thought provoking game that really makes you think about its story and makes you think about its impact.
A damn shame that regardless of the decisions made here, most of them are just completely inconsequential in Witcher 3.
That said, it's not just an improvement in gameplay but also a marked improvement in the writing of the game that truly makes this game a well paced replayable masterpiece. It's sad that the game still has the PS3/Xbox 360 era's green/bland colour grading. But all its flaws don't stop it from being a masterpiece.
just finished the gaem after so many recommendations. what an amazing story i could see myself playing it again twice. and i love the accents
the gameplay is better than witcher 1 but not quite as witcher 3
the story is a little short to be honest
i enjoyed it so i give it 7/10
Well, it's a good old game. Quite surprised it can run on my laptop. Definitely worth to play
Builds on all the great things in the witcher1 and has fun engaging combat.
combat may not be super indepth but it is fun and enjoyable to weave signs, light, heavy and dodges.
Story is enjoyable and holds you the length. Does a great job of making your choices never feel like they were right or wrong.
8.5/10
Great story with solid combat
Pros:
- Great story with interesting characters
- Your decisions impact the story
- Greatly improved combat compared to Witcher 1
Cons:
- When you are in combat you can't do anything like opening doors, pick up loot or climb
- Hitboxes are very generous
- Sections in which you play as other characters are terrible
[*]Following NPCs in this game is the most annoying experience possible because they stop running, then you bump into them and then they just stand there waiting for you to behind them again
Much better than the first Witcher game, but combat is awfully unbalanced. tldr, I recommend it, because of the magnificent writing mostly.
Im already playing TW2 in 2013 but..... after watching TW4 trailer im playing it again with Iorverth Route. its highly recomended for you who want to nostalgia or Player that want to know "what happened" before the witch hunt in the northern realm and Nilfgardian rapid Invasion that swallow temeria :D
9/10 i Enjoyed This Game, Played For Almost 25 Hours,Graphics Are Amazing Tho.
Can't even get the game to load. I use a steam account. I have tried it on 2 different computers. Nothing comes up other than the play the game button. After that it does nothing. Although for some reason it says I'm playing. LOL
The game kinda aged well for me.
Although I am having a hard time trying to understand the story of the game. The game play is fun considering how old this game is. The game's lowest difficulty is great as it allows players to only focus on the main story of the game unlike the first game. The game's rpg mechanic and combat mechanic is way more approachable and higher quality compared to the first. Big upgrade.
This game is worth it, especially on sale. Whether you are an rpg enthusiast or a story enthusiast, this game can be for anyone.
The storyline, the plot, the decision you have to make. SUPERB !! can't decide to choose Vernon(Bro) or Iorveth(More Fun).
8/10 - Would recommend
Pros:
Story, characters, and writing are great
Main quests are a lot of fun
Combat hits the sweet spot between fun and challenging
Cons:
Level design is a little too dated (its an old game so makes sense)
UI is a little convoluted (took some getting used to)
Wonky ass combat but fun as hell. Great story and one of the only games where your choices matter.
Elden RIng ha? Guess you've never played the witcher 2 this game is awful in case of fighting. You gotta be at the exact place in the exact time in order this game to let you kill something. Its just nuts.
This part is boring, lot of conversations, dialog etc... Part 1 and 3 are better!
Very good game.. best in genre.. best globally. Still holds up in 2025, before theyll drop Witcher4.
Playing through the trilogy right now, just finished the first one for the first time and plan on finishing this for the first. Love it so far, the story-telling and quests are of course on point so far and I'd of course recommend playing all three of these games.
This game has pretty simple combat, that can be frustrating at times, but enjoyable, rich plot and beautifull enviroment. Overall
Great game. If you never played it, i recomend it, even in 2024
I really do like this game, story is very Witcher as it should be but holy shit is the combat bad, it makes me almost not want to recommend it but the story is just soooo good that I am going to anyway. Just play on easy or something.
This game has a very catching story and once again a great soundtrack. When coming from the first game, its a lot more player friendly and less frustrating. The voice are a ton better and the character models are more like what you're used to by Witcher III. The ending immediately makes me want to play Witcher III again. For Witcher-fans its a must, though its still an old game and especially the unfrequent auto saves can be frustrating at times... Also there are a few necessary fixes against seemingly random game crashes and they will still occur at times. Graphics (with mods) are absolutely fine though. I'd even say I like this Geralt model better than the one of Witcher III. All in all: great game!
Well, it's a good old game. Quite surprised it can run on my laptop. Definitely worth to play
Apart from the fact that Witcher 2 is going 14 year old next year it still have astonishing graphics and rich story.
So what you are waiting for? Buy it!
They someone how made an already extremely mid game (the first one) even worse. The story in the witcher is fantastic CDPR is just absolute dogshit at making a PC melee combat game. Right out the gate you're going to be surrounded by enemies at all times but not able to strafe so you constantly get hit in the back when trying to move around and then not only are the combat mechanics dogshit, theyre extremely punishing. Wanna USE the dodge mechanic they gave you in the game? Well youre going to get punished for it because the enemy is going to now hit you in the back for 200% damage they normally would. OH but I can block? Wrong. You still take damage when blocking AND get punished for doing so by reducing your stamina, which is what you need for magic. Not only do you use stamina for blocking you get so little of it, its almost not worth it in the fucking first place. Wanna use magic? Sure they'll let you but its fucking useless in this game. Only thing magic is useful for is story shit where you can sometimes use jedi mind force powers to convince people to tell you stuff. Watch a fucking youtube video and read the books. This game is dogshit.
Fuck you for making sit for 30ish minutes to see a 2min cutscene and some words.
i bought all witcher games 2 or 3 times because this series is just too good and it deserves its money. I played most of them on gog tho but its an amazing game series worth it altough the first game shows its age alot this one not much and the third still holds up amazing even today. Its a must play series for any rpg fan imo it has good music good story and a good plot especially if you are playing it for the first time. I wish i could erase this game series from my memory because its just too good.
I have tried so many times to go back and play this game again. Only to remember every single time just how bad the controls are. The responsiveness, the mapping. Its just so terrible. If they ever properly remake this game I will play through it again but I just cant until then. the controls are just too terrible.
