Gameplaywise, it's witcher 3. Same gameplay style, lots of dialog lines, lots of quests, lots of cutscenes, ok horse riding = driving and kinda-feels-off-but-ok combat. Timed options in dialogues, bribes, abilities, etc, etc. Most buildings and NPCs are just for decoration, like it was in Withcer 3. So, basically, not much new. But! The world itself is new, and it's big, and it's as fun to explore, as it was in witcher 3. But on the technical state.... Oh boy. It's borderline scamming. When official system requirements SO FAR AWAY from reality, ti's a scam. Because you tricked people into buying a game by giving then false information about performance level they will achieve. And I don't even mention poor consoles. On top of that, there are graphical glitches, floating objects, unpickable items, stragne AI behavior, sound glitches and cut-outs. Some items don't even want to render on character model in inventory. UI is bad. Default keyboard controls are bad. Some essential things are absent: no in-game character customisation, you stuck with what you have choosen in the beginning. I feel like there where even bigger plans about world design, but they were cut off in the end. Well, that's not a bad thing. But game feels raw, very raw. It will probably be GOTY 2021, but right now in many aspects game feels like early access.
This one HAVE TO be played only after the second part of the trilogy, because it will make no sense at all to someone who's new to Black Mirror games. And it has a good, solid start! It picks up where previose game ends and goes on and on! But, unfortunately, there are some badly implemented puzzles closer to the end of the game. With strange logic and mechanics wich barely works and can easily be broken, things you can easily miss if you try to do them in your own order and etc. So it feels slightly less polished in the end. And it kinda spoils overall really solid impression this game gives. But still, this is a nice conclusion of the trilogy.
Probably, the weakest part of the game is it's first couple of chapters. Weak characters, some strange logic and not scary and moody at all comparing to the first Black Mirror. But if you give the game a chance, you will be rewarded with much better setting, familiar locations and actually not a bad story with a plot twists. And you will want more in the end, believe me.
