The Witcher 2

Recently I have been playing alot of The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings. So far I have approximately 52 hours sunk into it and there is no end in sight, if I were to say one thing about this game I would say it is hard as hell. The gameplay is quite unforgiving, you make one wrong move and you are dead, also the autosave function is horrible, you have to save your progress regularly or get used to starting over very far back. Also the quest are very hard because instead of giving you a detailed description of what to do and where to go, it basically just says you have to do something somewhere, but there are no indications of what and where. All of this sounds like I am running the game into the ground, but actually I am quite fond of this and I like the way it all is, because nowadays games are too easy, like in fable whatever quest you are on there is a glowing trail to follow that leads you right to where you are supposed to go. But this game you actually have to be able to read quest lines and character biography's, this all makes for a much more rewarding conclusion to each quest. Every time you complete a quest or take out that boss you thought impossible, you want to jump up for joy and give yourself a nice pat on the back. This is why this game keeps bringing you back so that you can eventually feel that feeling.
