The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Patch 2.0 Review

The guys at GameGavel give us their take on CD Projekt RED’s ambitious v2.0 update for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, in which they award it an overall score of “B”. Just think – there will be a whole new wave of The Witcher 2 reviews in April:

Should you buy The Witcher 2? If you played the first one, you have to. The resolution of the story and Geralt’s incredibly animated memories will make fans of the first game put up with anything just to piece it all together. But for anyone hoping that this would be a good entry point into the game, you’re probably better of playing something far more accessible, like Demon Souls. That was a joke. Because this game is not very accessible. All my complaints aside though, The Witcher 2 is still going to end up exalted by the press, and most gamers and rightfully so. It challenges enough of the current RPG design standard that it’s a take no prisoners approach to game development. People (myself included) will ultimately recommended this game because at the end of the day, you will be more infinitely intrigued by everything it tries to do, than you will be disappointed by the things it didn’t.
