Great soundtrack
Good visuals (for the time). During the game you travel through different "zones" (e.g. rural areas, villages, urban areas) which are all well designed and large enough to feel real and immersive
Voice acting is good enough
The story is good with some fun character moments
Overall, all these aspects combine to create a world which is fun and interesting to explore and play in

The combat isn't so great and takes a bit of getting used to. The biggest issue with this game is that the difficulty spikes at the end with multiple very hard boss fights, some of which directly follow each other. What makes things worse is that the combat system does not allow for much skill expression meaning if you are too weak there aren't many ways to outplay the bosses (except for running around and using igni which does not work for everything!). Another problem is that you cannot change difficulty during a playthrough for some reason. I would recommend playing on easy as you won't be missing out on anything.

Overall, I would recommend this game to those who love the other Witcher games or love the books. I would recommend playing the Witcher 2 or 3 first if you haven't as this one is quite clunky. Technically the story of each does carry over to the next one but the stories of each Witcher game are fairly separate
