Step in the right direction, but not perfect

User Rating: 8 | The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PC

Impressions after playing the game for about 7 hours.

Love the open world, the graphics are also very good.

I like how they implemented horses - armor, carrying capacity and the auto-follow the road mode. I'm somewhat undecided on the horse getting frightened, since it is supposed to be a war horse and war horses get drawn into the fight and want to attack.

Quests are a bit above average, but not inspired. Seems like all others they went with the tradition to offer quantity over quality.

The movement is geared towards consoles and feels very floaty and inaccurate on PC using keyboard and mouse.

Combat is very simplistic - 1 attack button, block button and doge in 2 different ways. Can also cast a magic signs from time to time. Seems like a limitation from the limited number of keys controllers have.
