Combat was ok. Inventory seemed needlessly complex with little reward. Writing was great. They did a good job making decisions and dialogue options affect the story. Side quests were largely interesting and engaging. Voice acting was good. Gear was mostly unsatisfying. Mostly junk which became money which I never really needed. Compelling Econ is apprently very tough to get right on these big open world games. I also looted basically everything I saw and it mostly never mattered. I can't not though, just in case I need it later (aka the cable box problem). PS4 load times were frequent and lengthy. Basically all menu operations were laggy, but you get used to it. It also crashed more than any other PS4 game I'd played. Finished main story at Level 35. Got the "Ciri becomes a Witcher" ending. Didn't do any DLC quests. (though will come back to them after a healthy break)
