    Much like its protagonist, Assassins of Kings stands in defiant contrast to the crowd, but in doing so CD Projekt RED has come away with a product that appeals on many different levels – a strong draught of dialogue, action, and coordinated gameplay that ought to slake the hunger, thirst, and yearning loins of any lonesome traveller of the road.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – Enhanced Edition is an unconventional and layered RPG with a steep learning curve that is not for the uninitiated or faint of heart. Baring a few faltering steps it is a well rounded and thought provoking tale offering far more than its linear progression should allow. Read more

    The Witcher 2 is not an open-world game in the way of The Elder Scrolls games; each area is relatively contained though expansive enough to encourage exploration. The rewards for doing so aren't just pretty vistas. You might uncover a chest that can be opened only by interpreting the clues on a nearby scroll or stumble upon a giant arachnid guarding treasure.

    • A variety of bugs, Combat sometimes ventures into cheap territory, Unsatisfying conclusion.

    • Picking up loot is cumbersome, The use of sex and drugs means this one is for the 18 and over crowd, The difficulty can be high at times and low at other times

    CDProjekt are a company that have built one very strong reputation in only a few short years since their inception. Their debut game, the novel-inspired RPG The Witcher was critically acclaimed and financially successful, introducing a mature, well thought out and powerful RPG experience which, though flawed, was loved by many and considered somewhat of a masterpiece in its own right.
