Great story, medicore gameplay
The story in this game is absolutely great. So far it has been of the same high quality as in Witcher 3. On the other hand gameplay is extremely so-so. Some gwent battles are interesting but most of them are rather boring. Also the fact that some rewards from exploration are mutiplayer exclusive - when you have to pay for them with resources used for single player campaign - is rather annoying at best and frustrating at worst.

Splendid
Love the mechanics of Gwent; love the narrative drive and style of the game; love that I don't have to play online.

Final battle is litterally impossible
I liked the game, actually a lot. But the final battle against the Nilfgaardian general is unwinnable, not even at lower difficultuies. This is horribly frustrating, and I'm giving 3 stars only because I'm trying to be objective in my review and the game is for the rest very engaging and funny. but this is just too frustrating for me
