I got exactly what I expected so I'm not surprised at all. I still purchased the game because of nostalgia. If you have been a fan of the series in the past, you will be disappointed. If you were expecting Final Fantasy version of Witcher 3, it's not even up to that standard and both are uninteresting. Still, the game is playable. I recommend getting it few months later after the price drop.
Pros:
- Combat is more fun than I expected, though I would have preferred real time with pause style like they did with Mass Effect or Dragon Age Origins
- Visuals are very well done and open world is a plus
- Many surprises with side contents
- Good soundtrack
Cons:
- Probably the worst cast of main characters in the entire series
- One of the worst, if not the worst, story in the entire series
- World feels empty
- Repetitive and uninspired side quests
