Overall, The Witcher 2 is one of the best RPGs I've played and I'm very much looking forward to The Witcher 3. The boss fights are seriously tough compared to most other games, but once you get the hang of it it's all manageable. Potions are pretty useless, because you can't drink them during battles and you can't always tell when a difficult fight is coming up. The graphics are also very good, but the engine seems to lack optimization and could perform better at times. The leveling/skill system has bonuses that can be aquired in many different ways and there's always something to do. They also worked on the fighting mechanics and menus compared to the first game, which are still not perfect, but better (movements are too console-ish, no strafing etc.). The characters, music and surroundings are fantastic. The The Witcher 2 has a great story with decisions that really matter and that gives it a very high replay value, which is rare these days.

The atmosphere, the music and the character lines are just amazing, combining to create one of the best RPG's of all time. It may not be the best combat system in gaming history, but it does exactly what is is supposed to do. There is no ACTUAL character customization, but you can change what the protagonist is wearing with quite a bit. The stealth sections are not the best, but they are optional, and there are a few bugs and such. The graphics are simply the best ever seen in an RPG to date, if not the best that we have so far in any game (compare to Crysis if you want to).
It takes what was good from every single RPG released in the last 15 years and makes it into something better. The characters are deep and complex, the storyline develops depending on your actions and choices. The single best RPG I have played since Planescape: Torment. The characters are deep and complex, This definitely is Game of the Year 2011.
