The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings 2011

Is it still worth playing?

CD Projekt Red's 2011 single player action role playing game, released for PC, with the Enhanced Edition following on the Xbox 360 and later on other systems. Geralt of Rivia is imprisoned on suspicion of assassinating Foltest, the king of Temeria, and escapes with Roche and Triss Merigold to hunt the real kingslayer, a witcher known as Letho. Combat uses traps and thrown ranged weapons, with four upgrade paths, training, swordsmanship, alchemy and magic, and there are stealth sections. The story branches: Chapter 2 splits depending on whether Geralt helps Iorveth or Roche, and its content depends on decisions made in the first chapter, so one run shows only part of the story. The developers spoke of 16 endings, later clarified as 16 states of the world. Choices with delayed consequences, and build choices that change how you fight, are the reasons to play it today.
