The Witcher 3: Wild HuntBeat

Fantastic world. Great characters. Deep lore. Excellent writing overall.
But the game was let down for me by the combat and the levelling system.
The combat was just too easy. And the difficulty wasn't well implemented either. The only difference between the easier and the harder difficulties for me was that an enemy takes 5 hits to die vs 15 hits to die. Nothing got more challengin****uch as it got more tedious.
And its incredibly easy to find a "winning" strategy to combat. Multiple times. I couldn't remember dying or even approaching death in combat a single time. Heck I was YAWNING through multiple boss battles.
Even if this was the most amazing story ever, it can only do so much when the thing you do for most of the game when you're not watching cutscenes is just not fun, and doesn't even get your heart rate up. That thing you do most of the time being exploration and combat.
And exploration was brought down by the levelling system. It's been a while since I played it, but as I recall, anything 5 levels over you is basically immortal, unless you spend 15 minutes hacking, slashing, magicking and inventory-ING your way through a single enemy. Something I learnt the hard way, because I play my games with as minimal hud as possible. So I didn't see the skull icon indicating that an enemy was over levelled.
And there were just so many occasions where I'd explore the land, because I love exploring, only to encounter an over levelled enemy, halting exploration and sending me back until God knows when. This was an issue I faced throughout my 90 hour campaign.
Why would I spend 90 hours on a game that I clearly wasn't vibing with? Well the short answer is because some friends kept pestering me about it, despite everything. Plus I was invested in the story choices.
I own the dlc, but I don't think I'll ever muster up enough courage to put myself through the combat and the awful levelling system again.
Still deserves a 7 for the writing and the engine tech.

Great style. Treat to read and experience the story and characters.
But the game part really lacks. The movement can be fun with the skateboard, but the combat gets old REALLY fast. And the minigames like cooking can be quite fun, if again just for the character interactions since they're just QTE's.
If a game has me feeling like I wouldn't lose that much if it were a YouTube video, it loses major points from my side. And I was very quick to want to enable all the assists so that I can get through it quicker.
Very innovative and stylish and fun in many regards. But lacking as a game.

Perhaps it's a problem I'm giving myself but....
This game was massively disappointing in terms of tensing me up and any horror I'd have with it.
I just got off the third time trying this, but for me, gameplay has always devolved into "welp not enough bullets. And they won't stay dead anyway. Run past them"
Occasionally walking through a hallway will tense me up, but then time for a zombie to appear and there's a mental eye roll, as I already know how this is gonna play out.
I really did want to love this, as I do love horror games, survival horror and even tension in games. But I unfortunately couldn't. One day I'll come back and learn to love this game, and figure out how I should be playing it, if that is indeed a thing.

It's a yakuza game through and through. Don't discount this as a side quest for the series.
It's not mandatory to play all 7 of the previous entries, as the game does a good job bridging some gaps, it would be better for you if you played at least 0 and 6. 7 too for some of the events affecting the main story. Especially since this game has spoilers for 7.
My only gripe is that some of the side stories have lost their discoverability, since they are now "akame requests", every single one of which need you to head over to akame and ask her about each specific request. It'd help you if you accepted every single request at once.
I got 40+ hours out of this game, partly due to me being a poker addict (in game), and the copius amount of time I spent in pocket racing, coliseum, golf, pool and the myriad of side content this series always delivers.
I still ended up in a shallow puddle of tears at the ending.
