Look closely at the patterns carved into a stone column, and you notice how each one is slightly different. Walls, cliffs, and meadows aren't just repeated textures. A red scar above a defiant elf's upper lip is not just a testament to past violence-it suggests a permanent scowl. The delicate lace of a sorceress's collar gives her a regal air, yet dark makeup and dark brown eyes speak to mysteries beneath the surface. In The Witcher 2, sights like these communicate so much. On the outskirts of a dwarven enclave, sunlight glistens upon a misty pond a tower just beyond it bristles with potent magical properties the underbrush surrounding you casts deep shadows, yet rays of golden sun coax you onward. The Witcher 2's phenomenal visual design isn't its defining characteristic, but it's an effective lure and makes for an immediate connection with the game's provocative tone. Now Playing: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Video Review This superb role-playing sequel offers a bold world woven together by tenuous alliances and closely guarded secrets.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Some bugs, combat quirks, and other foibles prove bothersome, but they don't greatly diminish the impact of exploring a dungeon whose walls ooze the agony you've just witnessed. And just as you exert your power on this game's events, they work their power on you, drawing you further into a gorgeous world populated by quarrelling trolls and drunken, sex-crazed dwarves. As Geralt of Rivia, your actions don't just bring you closer to the truths of your own murky history, but they also influence the tides of war. They're meaningful not just because they are packed with excitement, but also because there are stakes-both personal and political.
Like the rare Roses of Remembrance you might find growing in this role-playing game's lush fields, these moments are carefully cultivated.
Still why not play all the witcher games with your (14+) kids ? I understand that there is violence,references to drugs,sex, and gambling (or acts of these things) but its all depicted in such a way, that i don't see it harmful for anyone who is 14 years or older.The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a gift, gilded with moments that stay with you even after the curtains close on its dark tale of uncertain pasts and uncertain futures. Compared to Witcher 3 this is not quite as good, so that's why i give only 4/5 and not 5/5 in rating, also i felt like this lacked some of the atmosphere present in Witcher 1, where as Witcher 3 is like this very cool mixture between witcher 1 and 2 + a lot bigger world to explore. Just make sure that your kid is 14+ and it should be fine. The story in the Witcher games might be leaning towards adults though. That being said the violence in this game isn't in my opinion any worse than it is in the game Skyrim, so if you let your kids play Skyrim you could as well let them play this. But c'mon if you are fine with killing people with swords and axes, how come breasts are so horrible? breasts and other body parts are natural, where as killing tens or hundreds of soldiers is not so everyday thing. Personally i don't get the whole shock about the sex scenes in Witcher, there are not even many sex-scenes in Witcher 2, actually i don't remember any particular one at the moment.
