So, what to make of The Witcher? On face value, it's just another action fantasy RPG, albeit with lots of nice touches. There are plenty of annoying aspects (the endless cutscenes, dodgy dialogue and simplistic combat) and it's not completely free-roaming. The sex mini-game could be seen as crass, the language unnecessary and the setting confusing (talk of genetics and mutants in a medieval land?).
