Great story, great atmosphere, and it was a lot of content for nothing more than the price of the game. The last DLC, Blood & Wine, was also enough content it could have almost been its own game. It's like an expansion pack of old.

I guess some people like the combat, but personally I thought it was mediocre. It's not bad, it's just not good.

Everything about the game is so amazing that it just makes the lack luster combat feel out of place. The combat just feels stiff. Even with a build dedicated to spells, they feel really weak. Never saw a point in investing in alchemy considering it feels powerful enough without it, and isn't really that necessary. Dedicating your entire build to crossbows is just like the spells, even maxed out, the bow feels weak. This just leaves you playing with the swords. They're fine, but you only have two attacks and a really wonky parry/block system.

If they had a more impressive combat system, the game would be perfect.
