With the complex multiple timelines of the first season now aligned, The Witcher season 2 unites Geralt with orphaned princess Ciri (Freya Allan), and you can guarantee it won’t be too long before they cross paths with the show’s third viewpoint character, the mage known as Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra). Although The Witcher season 2 has taken its time coming, the streaming giant has now confirmed that the new run of eight episodes will debut on December 17, a whole two years after its predecessor.Īs expected, movie Superman Henry Cavill returns as the eponymous monster-hunting Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, continuing his adventures across the vast world of the Continent. Still, play 'Assassins of Kings' and you'll be signing up for a first-rate fantasy adventure, full of highly entertaining battles and well-written, well-acted characters.After the fate of the Iron Throne was decided in the Game of Thrones finale, we had mere months to wait for our next epic fantasy fix to arrive, in the form of Netflix’s hit adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s bestselling novels.

I wish this game had been as open to explore as the other 'Witcher' games, and I think more investment in side quests could have been made. Still, none of the games I've played have offered a choice quite as significant as one of the ones presented in this game, in which your selection will change at least 6-8 hours of gameplay. We were also very familiar with this feature five years ago when this game released. These days, we're all familiar with RPGs offering players a choice. The perfectly written villain is just one element of a very good story.

Some of the other characters introduced in this game are also rather memorable, but none so much as Letho. Letho is a man of colossal proportions, and matches his incredible power with a sharp, cunning mind. My favourite of all the 'Witcher' villains is from this second instalment: Letho of Gulet. Also rather early in the game we meet the antagonist of 'Assassins of Kings'.

It begins with a very exciting introduction, and the new combat system is well-explained in the opening quests. Although 'The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings' happens to be my least favourite game in the trilogy, I still found it very enjoyable.
