Genre: RPG;

Release date: 18-May-2015 ;

Overview:     

As war rages on throughout the Northern Realms, you take on the greatest contract of your life — tracking down the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world.

Features:     

PLAY AS A HIGHLY TRAINED MONSTER SLAYER FOR HIRE
Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength and reflexes, witchers are a counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live.
 

  • Gruesomely destroy foes as a professional monster hunter armed with a range of upgradeable weapons, mutating potions and combat magic.
  • Hunt down a wide range of exotic monsters — from savage beasts prowling the mountain passes, to cunning supernatural predators lurking in the shadows of densely populated towns.
  • Invest your rewards to upgrade your weaponry and buy custom armour, or spend them away in horse races, card games, fist fighting, and other pleasures the night brings.


EXPLORE A MORALLY INDIFFERENT FANTASY OPEN WORLD
Built for endless adventure, the massive open world of The Witcher sets new standards in terms of size, depth and complexity.
 

  • Traverse a fantastical open world: explore forgotten ruins, caves and shipwrecks, trade with merchants and dwarven smiths in cities, and hunt across the open plains, mountains and seas.
  • Deal with treasonous generals, devious witches and corrupt royalty to provide dark and dangerous services.
  • Make choices that go beyond good & evil, and face their far-reaching consequences.


CHASE DOWN THE CHILD OF PROPHECY
Take on the most important contract to track down the child of prophecy, a key to save or destroy this world.
 

  • In times of war, chase down the child of prophecy, a living weapon foretold by ancient elven legends.
  • Struggle against ferocious rulers, spirits of the wilds and even a threat from beyond the veil – all hell-bent on controlling this world.
  • Define your destiny in a world that may not be worth saving.


FULLY REALIZED NEXT GENERATION

  • Built exclusively for next generation hardware, the REDengine 3 renders the world of The Witcher visually nuanced and organic, a real true to life fantasy.
  • Dynamic weather systems and day/night cycles affect how the citizens of the towns and the monsters of the wilds behave.
  • Rich with storyline choices in both main and subplots, this grand open world is influenced by the player unlike ever before.

- Great stories, setting, monsters, and lore.
- Tons of mods that can improve the game.
- The combat is the weakest part of the game. It is a combination of choreography and hitbox system, which in this case resulted in an overall shallow system.
- AI is bad and has the old problem found in this type of games, where enemies are confined to an area that they cannot leave. So, you can easily bait them at the edge of that area and just engage them at your leisure.
- You can get over leveled and find combat unchallenging. I tried fixing this with a popular mod that un-levels the world. With it, the game was challenging for a good while, but inevitably, it also became generally easy down the road. Also, you wouldn’t really need to change your armor or weapon since many items were very similar, which is part of the fun in an RPG. I also tried the very popular overhaul, Ghost Mode, which changes almost everything. With it the game became (much) harder, and thus making it better.
