I got this game on a sale for 1.49 EUR and it was the best deal ever, it turned out to be amazing. It's not for everyone however, as it's quite long, you need to pay attention to the story and get used to the clunky combat - you'll either love it or give up in the first few hours. I started the game to see what it's like, struggled with the fighting, played half an hour until it suddenly crashed and I realised I didn't save the game. I didn't really like what I saw first, but I decided to give it another chance. Fortunately, the dialogues are skippable, so I could continue almost immediately and this time I read the tutorial more attentively and managed to find out how to properly kill enemies. As the story progressed, I got more and more into it and started to enjoy the game very much. [u][h1]Graphics[/h1][/u] Even though the game came out in 2007, it's beautiful. The environments are detailed, colourful and interesting, most places are not just visually but aesthetically pleasing....

When I first played The Witcher, I was in middle school and I had pirated the game. Like most middle schoolers, I wasn’t very smart and the only thing I really looked for in a game was how many bad guys I could murder. I finished the game and quickly forgot about it. Only after I was in college did I realize to the full extent the awful choices that I had made during my first playthrough of The Witcher. My crimes were beyond description. I killed street dogs and innocent travelers just to loot 2 orens worth of stuff from their corpses. I slept with women and promptly abandoned them to be murdered by angry mobs or overzealous knights. I killed a fellow witcher. I walked away from a chance to have a happy family with a woman who loved me in order to sleep with my sex buddy sorceress who I thought looked hotter. I helped commit mass genocide, murdering dozens of non-humans fighting for freedom. By chance I happened to see The Witcher: Enhanced Edition on sale during Steam Summer Sale 2...

[h1] Should you still play the Witcher 1 in 2020? [/h1] That’s a fair question to ask, considering that this game is now 13 years old with its release in October 2007. [h1] Cons [/h1] With a game that is 13 years old, it’s clear that its age will show in some aspects. One of these is the outdated [b] graphics [/b] . (Especially if you play without any mods, like I did). Also, there aren't a lot of different character models for the NPC’s, so you will encounter a lot of clones. Personally, this didn’t bother me that much, but it may be distracting for some players. The game has a [b] slow start [/b] . In the beginning, you may find yourself annoyed by the point and click combat or the slow start to the story. But I will promise you, the game really does get better the further you get. After some time, I even found myself enjoying the combat, I just needed to get used to it. The [b]Navigation [/b] was a bit frustrating. It’s really annoying how often the direct way is bloc...

The Witcher is an action role playing hack and slash game developed by CD Projeckt RED and published by Atari – being released on PC in late 2007. This is the first game in the Witcher Series. The gameplay in Witcher a split between focusing on the hack and slash, and the other on the heavy dialogue scenes. The game can be played in one of three camera angles, there are two top down angels, and one over the shoulder view – I mainly used the third person view as it suited the gameplay more than the others. Combat in this game is something that sometimes receives criticism but I found it to be a nice change from the regular combat you see in RPGs – you have three different styles of attack, a quick, heavy and group attack – each of these attacks have three stages of attack and you have to click at the right time in order to continue your combo of attack. This does feel a little like a QTE, but for me it is disguised well enough that you don’t really notice it. The Witcher al...

The Witcher manages to be one of the best RPGs that I have played in spite of many little flaws. There are times the game will frustrate you in minor ways, and yet the game deserves the cult classic status it enjoys. The story is dark and engaging, the world is deep and lore filled, and the moral ambiguity will have you racked with doubt about the choices you have made. But make no mistake, you will make choices in this game, and you will have to bear the responsibility those choices bring. If you dont mind working through a clumsy interface, and like a game that makes you work for it: The Witcher: Enhanced Directors Cut may be the game for you.

I have owned these games for a long time, but after watching the Netflix series i told myself i was going to play through them. I am starting with the first game. The game is starting to show its age (12 years old) but once you get used it, and the controls/combat it's a lot of fun. 8 hours in and i just started Act 2.

A rough gem with an awesome story and a wonky/horrible combat system. Worthy for rpg fans and people who do not mind a bit of an old school jank

At first I was put off by the clunkiness of the controls and the rather lacking graphics. But as I played on, it turned out to be a pretty darn good game, if a bit aged. I kinda wish I had played it back in the day.

I did a replay in 2017 to export a 'personalized' save for Witcher 2/3, but I guess I didn't do it on Steam with screenshots and all, thereby not 'officially enough', so here we are : ) CD Projekt has a long history of releasing unfinished games, and this was no different in 2007. Witcher I uses the tried-and-true Aurora engine of Neverwinter Nights fame, so the numerous bugs in the pre-Enhanced Edition weren't really of the 'fall through the floor, crash to desktop' kind. There were unfinishable quests, scripted events that wouldn't trigger if you did things in a 'bad' order, etc. When the EE dropped, 99% of the bugs were gone, there was voice-acting in something like nine languages, and loading time issues were gone. Mods I used: - https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/256 - there are a lot of mailman quests, and being a quick runner helps. It's a bit of a cheat since you can outmanoeuvre enemies far too well, but I don't mind cheating. WeMod has good support for Witcher I, btw. ...
