The Witcher remains one of the best PC RPGs of recent times, and its sequel raises the bar even further. The game takes place a short while after the first game, with Geralt of Rivia implicated in the murder of the King of Temeria, thus sending him on a journey that will help him prove his innocence and find the real culprits. The developers have adopted a more action-oriented approach to the combat, which is closer to the instinctive swordplay of hack-n-slash games than the strategic variety seen in the first game. The game is shorter and linear as well but that is justified in its more cinematic and story-driven approach. If you love RPGs, you cannot miss The Witcher 2. Just make sure you have a PC capable of handling it. (Platforms: XBOX 360, PS3, PC)
