The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings: The Awkward Middle Child
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings: The Awkward Middle Child Regret: 26% (Geralt fighting in glue for the first 5 hours) Before Witcher 3 was a masterpiece, Witcher 2 was a very good game that nobody remembers. The story is strong and has real consequences, and the second act can look completely different depending on your choices. The combat, on the other hand, felt like Geralt was fighting in a swimming pool of glue, at least during the first hours. It's worth playing, if only to see where the legend began. And to hear about Roche's hat.

If this review never gets an edit then the game didn't get any better
If this review never gets an edit then the game didn't get any better. People will tell you to skip Witcher 1, watch a plot summary of that, and play this before Witcher 3 on account of the gameplay. I'd give the opposite advice. This is the absolute pinnacle of middling-to-bad early 2010s action RPGs, down to the muddy lack of clarity both in game and in menu, floaty movement and combat, and terrible gimmick bossfights. The alchemy and buildcrafting isn't even good. Witcher 1 hacked something out of the KOTOR/Neverwinter Nights engine to make a serviceable - maybe even engaging - single-character monster hunting RPG. Witcher 2 is the bad, janky rough draft of Witcher 3. Also it won't recognize my controller and I unlocked all my trading cards before I gave up on it. At least the comic segments remind me of Genndy Tartakovsky.
