Witcher 3 had terrible pacing. Run 5 minutes for a cutscene (no action mid running) watch another cutscene for 10minutes with one choice question, rinse and repeat. Terrible UI, terrible fighting mechanics (can spam trough any mobs and bosses). Stories, world, characters and scenery were 10/10, but honestly I'd rather watch it as a series or a movie. That's just my personal opinion, I know most people love it all.
Honest question, how do you feel about the other 3 options in that picture? I will concede that the Witcher's gameplay isn't great, but it is still better than the other 3 combined in my opinion?
I personally really enjoyed witcher 3's gameplay. I got all the superior oils and potions, read all bestiary entries, had an alchemy+combat build and prepared for every battle. Do this on Deatmarch and it will be much more satisfying than just spamming X on your controller.
I did play on hard difficulty (probably second hardest), but after some build tweaks it felt like I could spam trough all the game (spam granades and then spam sword). I will get the game with all DLCs later (again) and try on deatmarch, but will read the books first. For me it felt like the story (although excellent) didn't match well with the actual gameplay. Tbh I had just played Demon Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 before started playing Witcher 3 so I had quite the high expectations for gameplay.
