About The Witcher 2?

The Witcher 2 is an action role-playing video game created by CD Projekt RED specifically for the Microsoft Windows platform. The gameplay of The Witcher 2 deviates significantly from its predecessor, with movement being controlled solely through the keyboard and combat shifting from the original rhythmic mini-game style to a faster-paced approach. In this game, the left mouse button is utilized for swift but less powerful attacks, while the right mouse button is used for slower yet more damaging strikes. Additionally, the combat system now incorporates the ability to set traps, as well as aim and throw ranged weapons, adding more versatility and tactical elements to the gameplay experience.
