It’s more Witcher 3, which means it’s still packing a surfeit of low fantasy thrills and breezy pulp storytelling, but aside from isolated moments, the quieter grace of that game is lost in the shuffle. Replacing it: more mediocre combat and decidedly inferior side missions.

Good for a fun, polished quick fix of a game I’ve grown to fully embrace but conspicuously lacking the spark that brought together its immaculate technical presentation into something more.
