The Witcher 3 is one hell of a game, but it has its flaws, which really, really bother me. Story wise, it's perfect to me. Basically, every Side-Quest has an intelligent story to tell. You often have to make a decision and a lot of times it's hard to tell, which way has the best outcome – the way The Witcher 3 questions, what is really evil and what is really good, is just genius.

So far, so good. But what really bothers me, is the Open World. My eyes are always chained to the map. Unlike in games like Zelda Breath of the Wild, you're basically lost, if you try to discover the world by just looking around. That's a huge bummer for me. So it just becomes going to one question mark on the map to the next one.
Also, the fighting system is not great. It's alright, but it's kind of spongy and slow at times.
And the final negative aspect for me is the looting: Yes, you can find a lot of things, but how many of them are really useful? Most of it is just junk. Finding new swords and armour is pointless after a while, because Geralt gets his special Witcher clothes, which are much better.

But even with these flaws, The Witcher 3 excels and is one of those games, which I will play from start to end from time to time.
