    Innovative as it is, The Witcher suffers from some rather annoying flaws, but that shouldn't stop you if you're into this type of game. Newcomers to the genre may be put off, but the ethically ambiguous questions faced do present a certain kind of draw. It's a game that I wanted so much to love, but in the end it ended up being just a decent RPG with interesting but not particularly memorable characters and the opportunity to be a total jerk, which is always fun.

    CD Projekt Red has given us " The Witcher ", a remarkable single-player RPG that captures everything flavorful about lush, gothic settings and mature themes.

The content itself is clearly aimed at an adult audience - there is some nudity even in the... Read more

    Having to make moral choices adds an edge to the hack and slash. The Witcher is a trained fighter, a tooled–up hard nut who has had years of training and a little genetic tweaking in order to become the big bad daddy in this elves and dwarves fantasy realm. Three years into the making and finally the game comes to fruition, armed with a dazzling world of quest and combat and the all important, much rumoured, reliance on the gamer‘s moral choices. We‘ve all seen the... Read more
