What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I ONLY recommend it for the story.
The gameplay sucks and it's short, put it on easy and enjoy the story, nothing else.
+ The Witcher 2 has some great boost in graphics quality compared to the first game
+ as it is common with the trilogy, the soundtrack is great and so are different sound effects
there's controller support(as opposed to witcher 1) that feels great with the combat
The optimization was subpar, but still better than all the AAA games currently being released.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
