Not much to say that hasn't been said better by others. Yeah there are a bunch of small bugs and some annoying mechanical decision but that can't compare to sheer scope and depth of the game - everything I hoped for more.
I really like the witcher story and it's great that game follows the books. But... story is all there is worth the time. Simply put the game mechanics is just awful. The game itself is a pretty poor console port and it's painfully obvious from the very first fight. Immersion is constantly broken by meaningless clicking and camera shifts on every door. Fighting offers exactly zero satisfaction. Instead of feeling powerful and executing cool combo moves like in many other slasher games or even like in Witcher 1 you hero is constantly staggered and forced to roll around. Theres no balance what so ever and changing difficulties offers very little to mitigate that. Please mind that I'm not complaining about not being able to win the fights. I do, even on Dark difficulty but it's an absolute chore and brings only annoyance and frustration. On top of all that it's full of bugs and performance issues which even mods can't mitigate. All in all - watch it on youtube for the story and don't waste time playing.
