I love this game, I really do first time i tried it the game was brand new. but i can never get good at playing it which leads to a lot of frustration. don't give me the "watch tutorials, or grind at it". not happening, not gonna do that it's stupid. it's a toy and being good at this realistically doesn't matter or make you cool. worth picking up like for a day or 2 to scratch the itch if you're familiar with it, but unless you played it 20+ years ago. you're not gonna have any degree of fun.
For being this being heralded as an amazing must play game, I'm unimpressed by the combat. It's like a poor combination of Batman Arkham series and a Soulsborne game but with horribly fluidity. Geralt is incredibly frail and weak and redshirts can seem to have no problem handling him in a fight and has to stop to meditate to drink a potion to try to get more health regen? Come on. For being an amazing swordsman he has to stay still while blocking/parrying. The traps and other usable items hurt the PC which is a poor design choice as well. The spell system of this word does this and this word does this should have some sort of help text to let you know what it does after the tutorial instead of having to memorize it that early on. All in all I could only slog about 45 minutes into this game. It's very unfun and I could care less about the story as it never seemed like it was that impressive to begin with. It seems people are more in love with the company itself and how it actually has good business practices.
