The jank ass gameplay means this is essentially a 20 hour interactive narrative, but that story is really interesting and fun so it (mostly) gets away with it. But man, can the poorly designed combat really make this a frustrating game to get through at points. Also the lack of autosaving was really hard to get used to after Witcher 3 and let to a lot of lost progress: At times I was sent back several side quests simply because it did not autosave after their completion like it does in its sequel. Despite being much shorter than it's sequel, I have little desire to replay this while every now and then I get the desire to replay Witcher 3 despite it's ridiculous length.
