re: Witcher 3 Gameplay

I think that's a fair statement. Witcher is the best of the bunch by a long, long shot, but the combat didn't feel far removed from European RPG franchises like Gothic, Risen, or Two Worlds. The combat is similar in nature to Fable or Kingdoms of Amaluar but it just lacks the polish. Nevermind the fact that when you start the game, you're able to be killed by a twig, but by the time you finish it's pretty much impossible to die.
