Ok, I guess I'll give ya a few tips to make it a bit easier.
Whenever you cast Igni, let it burn up the enemies til it runs out before you hit them because it will cancel out the fire damage dots. Igni can out damage anything most of the time btw.
Don't bother tryin to use the crossbow on land expect to knock aerial enemies out of the sky. It's extremely weak except when you're underwater.
Human like enemies can parry your light attacks but they can't parry your heavy attacks. This also applies to fistfighting.
You can attack while on horseback fairly easy by holding down the light attack button as you approach an enemy and their healthbar is highlighted, It will drastily slow down time to allow you to make adjusts to your aim. geralt will automatically orient his sword to the side the enemy that he is locked onto. Just release the button right before you reach 'em and it will likely hit. I didn't know about this til after I beat the game. With a bit of practice, you'll be slaughtering bandits easily.

That was not my experience at all on Death March. Enemies would parry and stagger me any time I attacked head on. Especially those axe weildiñ bastards.
OP, be sure to max out acquired tolerance if you plan on using any decoctions. Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, but you have to equip a sign in order to enjoy the benefits pf leveling it up.
I wouldn't recommend maxing out quen, as I feel it sucks a lot of the fun out of combat, but that's up to you. I rarely used the sign at all.

I don't remember if the axe guys can parry heavy attacks or not but I know that regular humans can't parry/counter heavy attacks. They can block 'em but they can't parry then counter. It's part of the reason why I use mainly just heavy attacks and signs. I used to spam light attacks.
