Gameshark and RPG Codex reviewed The Witcher
After an outstanding review of The Witcher at RPG Watch, the time has come for another two websites. Gameshark has considered The Witcher as one of the best RPG games in years, rating it for A- along with "Editors Choice" award and defining the game as the best CRPG since Baldur's Gate 2. RPG Codex in its detailed review has, as usual, not rated the game officially, however has described its release as "the RPG Renaissance"."Take the interface of Neverwinter Nights, the beauty of Oblivion and the depth and maturity of Planescape: Torment and you get The Witcher. It is, by far, the best CRPG to come down the pike since Baldur’s Gate II." Gameshark"Indeed, friends, the RPG Renaissance may have arrived. First time Polish developer CD Projekt Red brings us a game that is, simply, wonderful. It's not without its problems, but The Witcher is one of the best roleplaying games in years. It retains the qualities that made classic RPGs so great - choices and consequences, interesting character development, challenge, story - and blends them with a solid modern engine, tactical real-time combat, dark medieval fantasy setting, beautiful artwork, and some genuine innovations in RPG mechanics."
