Pros:
-Intriguing plot
-Morally grey RPG
-Excellent voice acting
-Excellent music

Cons:
-Poorly designed combat system
-Plot pacing problems - chapter 2 is hell, chapter 4 is random
-Dated graphics
-Occasional questline glitches
-Plot ultimately self contained and skippable

Overall: This review is my first time playing any Witcher game. And I can honestly say, it's fun. It's dated and it has its rough edges, but it's fun. But play for the plot and the RPG choices, not the combat. And it's the first part of the Witcher series of games. I haven't read the books or played any of the other games, but this game has made me want to. Apparently they improve on almost everything.

That said, this game has a horribad combat system. It's just... the worst. Crafting is just relevant enough to be an irritating sidequest, and honestly, the gameplay just feels unpolished. That's a pretty severe criticism, and is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

If you can look past the gameplay issues, the story is amazing. Your choices revolve around one of three possible endings, and the plot has some great twists and turns to it. Ultimately, though, this game's plot is self contained and is only mildly referenced in the second Witcher, and not at all in the third. Thus, you can easily just look up a plot synopsis on this game and be good to go.

So really, it's a toss up. This is not the best RPG you'll ever play. You don't lose much by skipping it. But it's still a solid RPG. Decide for yourself.

Bottom Line: Fifty fifty. By itself, apart from all the rest of the series, it's worth playing. Grab it on a sale if you want to play through it for the experience.

No doubt the Witcher has a great and addictive story. Although the graphic is a little coarse but its just ok for a game in 2007. Whatever it is a great game and worth for its price.

The game that started one of my favorite trilogies. If you can see past its dated graphics and middling combat the story and choices alone are more than worth the price.

This game is super Outdated; the "this is so bad, I can't even." kind of outdated.
Just watch/read a summary of the story.
Don't bother buying.

[tl;dr] Choices and consequences, depravity, wars, fanatics, curses, monsters, sorceresses, sex, booze, fisstech, gambling, fistfights and evil hermits! Now Geralt can be part of some, or all of it. The choice is yours to make.

“His name was Geralt of Rivia, a proffesional monster slayer” thats the first quote .. and an epic cinematic scene will follow; introduces you to a tale that will continue throughout your playthough. Like most RPG's, your decisions influence the story you'll experience, no rights or wrongs simply advance as you see fit.

---info---

As a Witcher you got five signs: Aard, Yrden, Igni, Quen, Axii each has a specific action. Futhermore, you have a steel sword for humans and a silver sword for monsters, each sword have 3 fighting styles: Strong, Fast, Group. Combat is click-based. You also can craft potions, blade coatings and bombs.

Graphics are alright really but I had some FPS drop issues; even with high-end graphics card, mostly on Chapter 3 though. Soundtrack is great. A Digital comic (short point & click game) and a game editor are included.

/edit: There are two new adventures (dlc) made by CDProjekt and five made by the community. You can select each at New Game.
...
Best NPC quote: A Witcher! Hide your women!

I got this as a part a steam sale bundle and it exceeded my expectations, especially for being the first in the series. This RPG has a great feel to it and it feels like the choices you make have an impact on the game. The controls take a little to get used to.

Had Moral Dilemmas: Wing

The Witcher, this is the first part of the famous Trilogy made by Polish Studio CD Projekt RED, they were making Witcher Series, every four years (Witcher - 2007 ; Witcher 2 - 2011 ; Witcher 3 - 2015). This game is in my opinion definitely better than The Witcher 2 but, it won't beat Witcher 3, as for game from 2007, it's clean masterpiece.
To feel the story, you must play it. Description says true "There is no Good or Evil, only your choices and their consequences". Every character is unique, but here's a tip from me, don't trust anyone fully. Let's show here few of them [BEWARE OF SPOILERS]:

Triss Merigold - Sorceress, red-haired, cute but dangerous, she will help us even when she won't like us
Shani - Also red-haired, greatest medic in Vizima, had a crush on Geralt
Alvin - Child, powerful, in his veins flows Elven Elder Blood, decision in mid-game = Give him to Shani or Triss, beware that one of them will be hating you, depends to which girl you'll deliver the child
Siegfried - Knight from the Order of the Flaming Rose, depends on which side we'll hold, Order or Scoia'tael, if Order - he'll help us to the end, if Scoia'tael, he'll want to kill us
King of the Wild Hunt - (Who told there will be only Good characters?) - Unseen follows Geralt until the end, where we have a choice to fight with him
Jacob the Aldersberg, Great Master of Order of the Flaming Rose - He do not shows himself until end of the game, but from there, he is our enemy and main target to the end of the game
Azar Javed - Main Enemy until the near end, powerful Zerrikan mage, destroys Kaer Morhen, Witcher's home
Berengar - Witcher, we look for him about 60% of the game, he becomes our friend, he dies on fight with Azar but we are avenging him shortly after
Vesemir, Eskel, Leo (dead in prologue), Lambert - Witchers, we see them only in prologue but we can identify with them in that short period of time

Let's talk here about few organisations in the game:

Salamandra - main antagonist organisation, main chiefs are Azar Javed and Jacob de Aldersberg, they attack Kaer Morhen from Berengar information and steal Witchers Secrets, Geralt hunts them all game until all Secrets are safe.
Order of the Flaming Rose - fanatics, Jacob de Aldersberg is the Great Master, one of 2 sides we can stand with in the game
Scoia'tael - Elven rebels, killing humans to retrieve freedom, one of 2 sides we can stand with in the game

There are much more organisations in the game, but these are the most important
Let's talk shortly about Combat System it's simple but satysfying - clicking mouse and respectively Z,X and C to change styles.

SUMMARY

Gameplay - 10/10 - Masterpiece, one of those RPG games where you really want to know more
Audio - 9/10 - From simple ambients to combat music, it's climatic and awesome
Graphics - 7/10 - It's from 2007, but with few graphic mods it can be satysfying, but if you want to fully experience The Witcher, just play without them
Story - 11/10 - Just too good
Characters - 8/10 - Every one is unique, every one can either hate or like Geralt
Difficulty (On normal) - Combat 6/10 - Simple and satysfying / Side-quests - 7/10 - There are hard quests, and easy quests, no grinding ;)

OVERALL - 9/10

- It's piece of solid, good RPG, beginning of beautiful Trilogy based on Andrzej Sapkowski books, length is really good - It took me 32 hours to beat the game with doing every side quest I could, I completed the game with 38 lvl, pretty high as for that game, if you are doing side-quests, you shouldn't have any problems with Main Story
If you are a fan of Witcher and didn't played that part or you look for part of solid RPG, just buy it, don't even think, just buy. You're still not convinced? Geralt had sex with 7 different girls during his journey, alright?
Greetings, Wing

Pros

The Witcher 1 has an awesome storyline and many interesting characters, the choices you make really affect the game and how it plays out as well as how certain characters treat you. Alchemy is a big part of the game and you have to make potions in order to survive most of the quests which is a part I like as it has a kind of DIY feel. There are a vast array of enemies both monster and human alike, quests are plentiful and most of them are rich with stories of their own whether it be main quests or side.

Cons

The game does not run very well and struggles to keep up during intense fights where many AI are present or in areas where there are many people and building (parts of the trade quarter in Vizima). There are a lack of character models in the game and many people you meet will look identical or very similar to someone else you have met previously (this does not include most characters in the main quests). The combat system in The Witcher is below average and is little more than waiting to click at the right time and using signs (which you will see are mostly useless).

Overall

I recommend picking up this game if you are into fantasy themed RPG's set in an open world where your decisions affect the storyline. I got this game to play through so I would know fully what is going in the next two games that I have already purchased. Get this game if you want to fully experience the Witcher trilogy and become engrossed in a truly magnificent story.

If you're into RPGs, you need to play the series.

This is where it started, as far as games are concerned and it shows. The controls are a little wonky, descriptions are difficult to understand at times and you'll spend a lot of time in the Wiki for clues. It's brutally difficult until about level 15 or so, then you start to feel a bit like a 'real' Witcher. Faster, more powerful than the humans around you; which is a good thing as you'll do a lot more fighting of them, than monsters as you navigate the boiling point of a race war between the Humans and essentially every other sentient race (Your typical fantasy groups: Dwarves, Elves, etc..).

For nearly a decade old, the game still looks good, and can still challenge modern hardware. With an i5, 16 GB of RAM, an SSD, and a GTX 970 in some sections at 1080p (Super sampled up to 4k) I'll drop below 45 FPS YMMV).

If you recently picked up The Witcher 3, I do recommend grabbing this one, and the second as well to get the whole story, though be warned. This one is kinda clunky, and meant solely for the PC. It's very mouse and keyboard heavy, and a lot of the actions are based on 'old school' die rolls. Did you dodge that attack, did you successfully parry, did your Sword hit its mark? Who the hell knows! The second one is closer to the 'modern' title (3) in that it is more easily played with a controller IMO, as you're met with QTE, and a lot of block, parry, dodge, attack segments.

What do you get for trying this one out first, and beating it?
- A lot of answers and lore.
- Better starting armor and weapons
- An imported save file that changes some of the world through your previous actions
- Knowledge about what the hell is going on in 2 and 3...

All in all, this game is worth it, even at its $10 price point ~10 years later. (I bought it twice: first on Disc, then here). Sit back, relax, and enjoy a good solid 40-50 hours of game play (~25 if you are really good, and rush past everything, and don't enjoy the world.

Random Info: This is essentially the European release of the game, not the censored US one, so the 'romance' cards DO contain nudity.

The perfect amnesiac simulator where you can sleep with more than twenty women in the game, and simply chalk up your erratic behavior to "I'm sorry (insert companion), I didn't know we were together." when you get in trouble. Same goes for the combat system. "IVesemir, I forgot how to fight like a Witcher. How could I with these terrible combat mechanics?"

Overall, I fully recommend this game if you want more insight into the mind of the most interesting man in the Northern Realms, Geralt of Rivia.

I knew I wanted to play through the Witcher games, but was not sure about whether I wanted to skip the first one due to it apparently being very dated. However, I decided to just go for it as I am a sucker for a good story and that is one of the most important aspects of gaming for me. Well, Witcher 1 did not let me down at all. The combat feels odd at first but you get used to it extremely quickly. I do not regret starting and finishing Witcher 1 :) Its now sent me on to Witcher 2 and I have even started reading the books because I found the lore fascinating. If you are unsure like I was, just give it a chance - you will not regret getting to experience this beautiful fantasy world.

The Witcher is a difficult game to get into at first because of its very simple, clunky combat and the lower budget than the sequels, it is a dated game in a lot of areas. However if you stick with the game and get past the shortcomings this is a very rewarding game. The very strong story, characters and lore hold this game up so well especially when you get over the halfway point and you have learned about the world and the characters close to geralt and geralt himself. You also start visiting some very interesting and memorable locations. It does an amazing job of introducing you to everything, they even used the cliche of geralt losing his memory so you have an excuse to learn everything about the world. The game does a great job of getting you invested in this world once you learn about it, I did not want to put the game down the more I played because I was so invested into everything that was going on. It has one of the best stories and character development I’ve ever seen in a game and I’m expecting much more of that in the sequels. A lot of twists and turns throughout the story and I love the choices the game presents and some of them are not easy to decide and are thought provoking at times. Most people that have tried this game are not willing to get to that point which is a shame because they are really missing out. I want to point out that the combat is not bad it’s very enjoyable at times but it’s not really deep or interesting. The clunky and stiff character animations make it hard to get immersed into the combat at times as well. The way characters interact with each other during conversations doesn’t feel natural but I was able to get past that because the dialogue is so interesting. The game got me really excited to play the sequels because this was my first experience with a witcher game and I can’t wait to experience more story and learn more about this world and these very interesting characters. I think that this game is a must play for rpg fans they just need to be very patient with it.
8/10 (Great)
