Well written, well designed, runs smoothly, with dad-joke humour that will make you giggle. Stupid, fun, light gameplay that challenges you just enough to feel a sense of achievement. There are a few niggling UI issues with the keyboard when typing into text fields, but they're not enough to significantly detract from the experience. A pleasant, relaxed ambience, and a game I'd happily recommend.
Then you want to play this game. I recommend it to any friends who like any single-player narrative-driven game. Truthfully, I struggled to get into the game, for having no understanding of who the characters in the prologue were. Simply watch a (good) recap of the story of Witcher 1 & 2 if you haven't played them like I hadn't, and then spend 10 hours a day for three weeks living in this thing like I did. You won't regret it. It is a technical masterpiece, beautiful even at low settings somehow. It has a considerable, though not overwhelming depth of combat mechanics - which you are not forced to engage with. There is a plethora of lore for those interested, a great number of well-developed characters, a solid minigame if you're interested, and a protagonist who is neither flawless nor an intolerable asshat. Plus, the DLC are meaningfully meaty in a way I've not seen in many other games that weren't simply released separately altogether. Despite the great amount of content, finishing it is not the only way to enjoy the game.
The game plays as good as it looks. Didn't experience any technical issues. Beautiful design which works well in the game itself. It's been hard for me to spend lots of time on games recently, so more casual stuff is better. There's some optimization and depth, but mostly it's just a pleasure to play. You can pick this up and play it later without too much difficulty. The story was also unexpectedly impactful and well written despite being simple. Finally, this is a great game for if you're about to get a family pet, in terms of teaching kids about responsibility for management - source the food, clean the poop, don't let the pets eat each other.
