That's strange because this game is one of the most deeply engrossing that I have ever played. Complex and somewhat fluid story with tons of content, it changes based on your decisions. Combat is some of the best I have seen meaning on the higher difficulties you need to know the creatures you are fighting, prepare for the confrontation ahead of time, use strategy and skill. Some games I have played you can get through it by just mashing buttons, or you dodge, strike, strike, dodge, strike, strike. A lot of enemies you can dodge but many you can't.  Flexibility as to how you build your character and it even changes your fighting style.

The only cons so far are the clunky mechanics of the horse, the occasional glitch (but still a ton better than many other games, especially of its size, upon its release.

I'm not familiar with the Witcher series so I started on easy, about 10 hours in, I bumped it up to normal, I'm 40 hours in now, and have begun playing it on hard difficulty as I have become more familiar with the mechanics of the game.
