What makes The Witcher 3 so utterly brilliant?

@Chrkeller BTW, remember you've played 20% of a game that is 100 hours long and more with DLC and Gwent. A game which takes ten hours at the very least to really get started.

yeah, but after 20 hours it should have clicked.  At the end of the day battle system matters a lot to me.  Just my opinion, at best, the battle system in W3 is mediocre.  I would rather have less scope with superior combat.
