My advice is to use your signs and tactically take out your foes.

So if you consider playing this game, it’s probably best not to go in gung-ho. We’re not talking Dark Souls kind of difficulty, but it’s definitely not difficult to wind up very dead, which caused me much frustration at the start. Damn near any enemy can kill you quite easily. In this game though, it isn’t like a normal RPG where you can simply defeat any foe easily with a swing of a sword or two. None of this ‘royal advisor’ business: you’ve got more important matters at hand! Coming from someone who never completed the first game, you don’t need to have played the first to get immediately sucked into the story of this great RPG. Whoa, just keep your money in your wallets until the end of this review okay, kids? To avoid spoilers, I will simply say the story picks up and gets exciting very suddenly. Geralt landed himself quite a comfortable little job, with an awesome hot sorceress to boot! Before you it even crosses your dirty minds, yeah you see her boobs, and very, VERY early into the game. The sole job of a Witcher is to usually kill monsters for a bounty, but it must be under special circumstances. You begin this game playing as Geralt of Rivia, a badass Witcher whose job at the beginning of this game is to be the royal advisor to King Foltest. Granted, at times it had some janky gameplay, but I found that it still made for a great game. Mead! Lutes! A big ass dragon! Dwarves! Elves! And… well… prostitutes… This is the setting you will spend your time with in The Witcher 2 and 3! Why have I started with 2 after 3’s release you may ask? Well I started with The Witcher 2 simply because I didn’t enjoy the first so I couldn’t get through it, but this one turned out to be a revelation think of the Game of Thrones RPG, but with a much better story.
