Great Game, but not perfect
I'll start by saying that I really enjoyed this game. The combat system was great! I loved the timing of swinging and switching between styles, I played both OTS and top-down styles of camera, and I have no complaints about controls at all! Different and fantastic, I loved the controls from the get go. The magic system was interesting, but even on my magic-focused play-through, I found the signs to be a little clunky and not nearly so polished as the sword-play. The alchemy was fun, although it discouraged experimentation; if your recipe wasn't exactly right, all it would do is harm you in some way, with no indication of possible beneficial effects. My biggest criticisms, though, were in story and character development. Firstly, the over-abundance of cut scenes that I have no input into served only to frustrate me, teasing me with dialogue that I couldn't direct or affect. Secondly, while there were definitely some hard choices in this game, most antagonists were cartoonishly bad, and the choices about them were easy. The first big decision your character makes in the Outskirts was bland, easy, and unsatisfying. Thirdly, for a game so focused on identity and motivations, why don't they represent various motivations possible for these choices? Obviously you can't account for all of them, but just because you choose to side with one group doesn't mean you have to drink their Kool-Aid! Even a few general dialogue options, to keep Geralt from sounding like a racist or apathetic narcissist, would be nice. Finally, the "romance" system was a joke. Just about every female NPC you meet will throw themselves at you; one literally promises to do it on a nearby rock if you give her a prettier ring than her sister has. This ties into a general abundance of "WTH?" moments in the game's dialogue, probably stemming from translation issues, although I never stopped being jarred by characters saying things like "abso-f******-lutely" and "mother-f*****" in a medieval fantasy world.

Mixed feelings
The game has it's strengthes. - The overall story is well made - The power progression system is good. - The alchemy system, finding recipes, learning about herbs and how to gather them is appealing. - Some tactical chocies made in the game can be interesting and have consequences. However, the game has weaknesses as well. - Moral choices were not well made since everyone is evil. In order for moral choices to exist there needs to be good and evil not just evil and very evil. - I personally disliked the main character Geralt. He looked to me like a h*rny and greedy individual. - The combat system is boring. Very dungeon crawler like with point and click combat. - Quests were a mess and lacked direction through text not just quest tracking. I played the game for 6 hours then stopped. I would continue playing if the combat system was more entertaining and engaging. So if you like ARPG with point and click combat and everyone in the story being evil this maybe a 5 star game for you but if you like a more engaging combat system and a flavor of good and evil this game may feel underwhelming for you.
