I've played my fair share of RPGs. Both the good, such as KOTOR, and the bad. Yes, I'm looking at you Mass Effect 3. I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore RPG player, but this has to be one of the best games I've ever played.

First, the game itself is more of an action game with RPG elements. In this regard, it is a lot like ME, where all combat is realtime, and you aren't going to swing at someone, obviously hit them, and be told you missed, unlike its predecessor (although the first Witcher had miss animations). The gameplay is solid, and not quite like Mass Effect in that you have to keep moving instead of staying in cover. One nice thing is that you can glance at the lower left-hand corner to see the last few attacks and defends with their corrosponding damages.

Next, the story is just plain awesome. I can't say much, other than while it was well written, the story is a bit on the shorter side, but no matter, as there are enough areas to explore and quests to finish to keep you playing for a long time.

Also, the graphics are gorgeous, especially for 2011. They are, infact, much better than most games today.

Finally, I'd say that if there is ANYTHING to complain about with this game, it would be that you cannot edit video settings or controls outside of the launcher. However, this is a minor complaint, and can easily be overlooked.

Verdict: This game is a must have. As of the writing of this review, the game is only $4.00. I would gladly pay $40 for a game this well made.

PS. For those of you who decide this game is worth the money. CD PROJEKT RED left a little "surprise" in the games files, concerning Triss Merigold. Let's just say many of you GUYS out there will probably be pleased with it, if you know what I mean...
