Dec. 2024

Is it worth playing the Witcher 2 if you have only played part 3? Absolutely. You can expect a better story with a darker theme and a great supporting cast. The game still looks amazing in 2024, but the combat is awkward compared to The Wild Hunt. You soon get used to this though. The world is semi open locking you into areas for it’s large but limited chapters. The only thing that annoyed me is the messy inventory. I played on Dark difficulty which unlocks additional Armor crafting quests, and I recommend inexperienced players only start with this difficulty if they intend to craft potions, traps, and bombs. If you just want to hack away with your swords and see out the story stick with normal difficulty. My total playtime was around 35 hours on this ‘Roach’ playthrough. There is no new game plus, but it is worth replaying to open an alternative chapter 2 via story decisions. No performance issues at Ultra setting on my 4080 at 4K, I disabled Ubersampling, otherwise FPS dropped dramatically.

This part marks a significant leap forward for the series. With polished, scripted sequences and a more refined narrative, it showcases technical and storytelling improvements over the first game. The visual and gameplay enhancements lay the groundwork for the open-world ambitions that would come to fruition in The Witcher 3 . And yeah, Triss here - one love. Her character is key to the storyline's emotional depth, and her interactions with Geralt help define the game's moral dilemmas and personal stakes Witcher 2 is a tightly woven experience that bridges the gap between classic RPG design and the expansive, immersive world-building that would define the series’ future.

Those who skipped Witcher 2 and played Witcher 3 are seriously missing out on a great story and characters. The gameplay is a bit outdated and difficult to get used to but overall it's still a fantastic game. Trust me do give it a try. You'll fall in love with this game in no time.

May 2024

The Witcher series, including The Witcher 2, was intricately crafted and well-made even before the release of The Witcher 3. As the saying goes, as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.
