The reddit circlejerk around this game is batshit insane and everyone saying this is the best game ever made just needs to play other games lmao. The good: I like witcher because the only games that come to close to it in size and story choices are bethesda games and xenoblade which have never hooked me in for a variety of reasons. Unlike bethesda games, witcher 3 isn't held together with tape and paperclips. The bad: The combat sucks. This is the first game i've played where i've wanted to outright skip fights because they were that boring. My save has 250 hours on the max difficulty and i only died 5 times. Every mob fight is the same and that's bad because this game is long and throws mob fights everywhere. Side note: If you want a more technical overview/explanation of the combat animations and why they feel off https://www.reddit.com/r/truegaming/comments/ij7nqn/how_is_the_witcher_3s_combat_awful/g3bspjv?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Lots of media coverage on the technical side, not very much on the gameplay. This is NOT an rpg similar to witcher in any way. This is a far cry game without any of the polish. The shooting doesn't feel right, the combat sucks. Quest design is cookie cutter at best. Personally, What irks me most is how this game did not take inspiration from any of the great cyberpunk games like system shock, deus ex, or the blade runner pc game. You should go play those games instead if you want a better interpretation of cyberpunk. Otherwise, skip this and go play any of the far crys made after 3. It's baffling that these same people made witcher 3. Side note: they killed off my fav character really early on and tbh I just lost all interest in the main quest afterwards
