A new, modern game engine, responsible both for beautiful visuals and sophisticated game mechanics puts players in the most lively and believable world ever created in an RPG game. A captivating story, dynamic combat system, beautiful graphics, and everything else that made the original Witcher such a great game are now executed in a much more advanced and sophisticated way.

9.0
Playing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings for a few scant minutes should be all it takes to prove that CD Projekt RED’s acclaimed success with the original Witcher game was no fluke. Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful roleplaying game I have ever played. It is what you likely expected to see when you first sat down to play Dragon Age, or its sequel, only to be underwhelmed with the end result.
