This lost in my eyes over the years. Amazing dialogue and characters, and the idea of having two nearly completely different second halves of the game is very ambitious. But in the end it really doesn't know what it wants to be and is extremely clunky in almost every aspect, from storytelling to gameplay. Even the somewhat outdated first game was better, mainly for its unique atmosphere, which this one really lacks.
Could only get about 4 or 5 hours into this before I had to stop, the gameplay just feels atrociously awful in almost every aspect. The Witcher 3’s gameplay wasn’t great either but it was at least passable enough to ignore.
To this day, I have no idea how people talk shit about the combat in the first game then honestly tell people to play this shit. This game has a super interesting narrative, expanding the scope a ton from the first game, but holy shit the dollar store dark souls combat is so shit. I would rather play the shitty rhythm game combat of the first game than the wonky fuckery of this game's combat. Any person who's beaten this game on the highest difficulty without outside assistance deserves the congressional Medal of Honor
