Pros: - Beautiful landscape/architecture - Fantastic storyline - Great dialogue - Interesting characters with genuine motivations - Original/inventive main and side quests - Charming and sexy girl NPCs Cons: - What Assassin's Creed should strive to be (but for the Witcher, this isn't a compliment) - Console game combat, for button-mashing "comfy-couch" Dorito-fed gamers - Stupid-ass Ubisoft like markers for things you aren't supposed to know about, for example a "?" where a hidden treasure is. - Controls are god-awful, especially underwater swimming. You are never in control of the character, it's either lagging, moving as on ice skates, too far to left, the right, too fast, too slow, anything but what you want. I've played for 25 hours and I just came to the conclusion I'll never get used to it. - World is waaaay too big for what's in it. There isn't enough unique content to justfiy the size, here. Once you've seen a farming village, you've seen 'em all, but there's like a hundred! Gets repetitive quickly, and I feel like my time is being wasted (bit like Dragon Age Inquisition). Some villages have absolutely no interactions save for looting junk, for example. - Ridiculously abusive amount of junk to loot and sort through, and nobody cares when you steal their stuff. I'd much rather containers were rare and their contents meaningful. Not sure I'm done with this review, I'll update it later as I keep playing.
