Its world is stunningly realized with beautiful effects and an obsessive attention to detail. The plot stubbornly refuses to slow down and often unexpectedly spirals into crescendos of betrayals and wild revelations involving a huge cast of scheming characters who don't feel like tired video game stereotypes; they feel human. Combined with the remarkable environment design and to a lesser degree the decent writing and voice acting, the atmosphere of The Witcher 2 is one of unrivaled authenticity. The fast-paced swords and sorcery combat system, though not without quirks, provides plenty of entertainment, and the crafting and alchemy systems mean there's incentive to explore and collect. The Witcher 2 is alternately offensive and endearing, grimy and gorgeous, and never ceases to surprise. It's one of the great titles of 2011, and one of the best role-playing games in years.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2011\u002F05\u002F24\u002Fthe-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-review","2011-05-24","9",{"id":105,"author":106,"outlet":109,"summary":114,"review_url":115,"review_date":116,"original_score":117,"normalized_score":118},93963,{"id":107,"name":108},8012,"Chris Capel",{"id":110,"logo":111,"name":112,"website_url":113,"score_format":71},133,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameWatcher-Logo.jpeg","GameWatcher","https:\u002F\u002Fgamewatcher.com","Nevertheless this is an RPG you really have to own, and if you’ve been holding off for the console version rest assured you’ll be getting a smooth experience that was well worth the year-long wait.
