What people are saying

An old gem with a great story, but clunky combat divides players.

Players widely praise the story, atmosphere, and world-building, calling it immersive and a must-play for Witcher fans. Many note that the narrative and choices feel meaningful, even if the game shows its age. [6][24][30]

The combat is the most criticized aspect, described as clunky, repetitive, or a rhythm game that hasn't aged well. Some players find it addictive after getting used to it, but many recommend playing on easy or using mods to bypass frustration. [2][10][18][32]

    This was my first Witcher game, so I didn't have any attachment to the series or its characters. Maybe if you're already a Witcher fan, you'll enjoy it much more than I did. For me, though, the game was just boring. I actually didn't mind the graphics. Considering its age, they were decent, and I even appreciated some of the small details throughout the world. My biggest issue was the combat. It became repetitive very quickly and never felt satisfying. I also couldn't really connect with the…

    “Game of Thrones” and it’s not even close. “Heroes” and “The Witcher”; couldn’t even get into their respective second seasons. I will make an argument that while “Lost” fumbled the later seasons, its final season/ending are almost purposefully misunderstood by people wanting to rage.

    Haven't played this since its OG release. An amazing gem though. Play this to realize why team Yenn and not team Tress is a thing. ;) Combat is definitely not what I remember it being (in a rough clunky way). So that has not aged well. But the overall story and experience is fun if you enjoyed Witcher 2 & 3 and want more of this world. Honestly you could just play on Easy to not deal with the combat if is frustrates you so you can go through the story. If you have patience to get through this…

The story is still great, especially for such an old game, and the soundtrack is excellent. The mods also gave the game a nicer overall feel and made the experience more enjoyable for me.

I lost count of the T-posing monsters and NPCs who delivered heartfelt lined while staring at a wall.
