When I started this game up I misled myself into thinking I'd have to do some kinda work to discover weak points and lore of the monsters to effectively combat them. I spent a few hours just wailing on everything easily with no thought behind the individual characteristics of the monsters when combat came up and lost all desire to play the game.
I get that it's a good game but the fantasy of the Witcher and the gameplay didn't match up at all for me.

If the class system was a bit more interesting this would comfortably be a 5 star game for me. Unfortunately the classes just weren't very interesting to experiment with and only offered a small amount of value in skills that carried over to over classes. Necessary if you wanted a good variety of elemental attacks on your mages though or more than one or two damage types on your physical fighters.
Fantastic in every other regard, I completed every major minigame, substory and activity in the game and is one of only two games I ever wanted to start an immediate New Game + save in.

Honestly could have been 4.5 to 5 stars if the Edo period chapter was... Something else. If you play this game, do NOT do a pacifist or 100 kill run of this chapter. The frustration is immense and the reward is nowhere near worth it. Fantastic game otherwise, could have used less frequent/repetitive fights in some chapters.
