IGN: "The Witcher 2 is a dense, deep role-playing experience where your decisions have a significant impact on not only the structure of individual quests but also the direction of the main plot. Its world is stunningly realized with beautiful effects and an obsessive attention to detail. The plot stubbornly refuses to slow down and often unexpectedly spirals into crescendos of betrayals and wild revelations involving a huge cast of scheming characters who don't feel like tired video game stereotypes; they feel human.
Combined with the remarkable environment design and to a lesser degree the decent writing and voice acting, the atmosphere of The Witcher 2 is one of unrivaled authenticity. The Witcher 2 is alternately offensive and endearing, grimy and gorgeous, and never ceases to surprise. It's one of the great titles of 2011, and one of the best role-playing games in years."

Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just launched two new digital game sales that heavily discount various Shocktober games, games from popular publishers, as well as Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One right now!"
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition debuted on Xbox 360 10 years ago, laying the foundations of CDPR's console releases.
I take the Witcher 3 over part 2, but Cyberpunk was a disappointment. God I hated Johnny Silverhand so much.
Might even deserve a little higher score, but still solid. Can't wait to give this game a shot.
Bought 2 and haven't finished 1 yet.... :/
Alot of people didn't like the first Witcher, but i stuck at it and enjoyed it in the end. So play it if you want the back story for Witcher 2 and i've realised they got rid of the fast, strong and group sword-stances from number 1...i don't know how this will affect the sword fights, but it could turn into a click-fest. =(
yeah!! TW2 breaks the 8.5 curse!!
