Underpinning The Witcher 2's ambitious fantasy is a sword- and magic-based combat system that is one of the best around, delivering challenge and flexibility alongside the straightforwardly violent finishing moves and lethal strikes that are the backbone of all good melee combat. If you did, the extra content might persuade you to revisit it. If, for some reason, you didn't buy The Witcher 2 last year, now is an ideal time to do so. They're discernible in spots of extra graphical and interface polish that make this the definitive edition of The Witcher 2. Developer CD Projekt Red claims to have made over 100 of these minor fixes, improving animations, NPC models, stability and much more.
#THE WITCHER THE ENHANCED EDITION CONTROLS FOR FREE#
If you already own The Witcher 2 on PC, this Enhanced Edition is available for free via a patch, and offers around 4 hours of new content and 32 minutes of cinematics (including a new intro and outro that provide extra context for the game's fulsome, complex story) alongside an array of small improvements.

The Witcher 2 drops you right in the thick of it, and expects you to deal with it.

Plenty of games shield you from their lore, afraid that it might scare you off. It expects you to be intelligent and interested, to care about the political machinations, racial tensions and complex history of its world. The Witcher 2 is a game for adults, and not just because of all the sex and violence. Though sworn to impartiality on matters of the state, he is drawn into this complex political maelstrom by a series of regicides that brand him a criminal and pull him back into his own, forgotten past. And who are you, amongst all this? You're Geralt of Rivia, a stoic and distinctly un-heroic monster hunter with a few memory problems and a faintly inexplicable way with the ladies.
