People are being overly critical to be edgy. This game plays amazingly, and the combat is fluid. The lack of lock on means the combat is not serious like souls or other games of this genre. I played for an hour. I will probably play this for 30 hours. This B.S. reaction from the community is being garnered from a few critics. The gaming community is following their idols, who for some reason decides for them what games are deemed worthy and unworthy to be played and liked.
The game acclimates you quickly with its style of combat, you don't have to think about doing complex combos if you don't want to. You are not bogged down in a miserable world, no it is not dark souls. May I remind everybody that this game actually works better than Dark souls and every Nier game. The Witcher 3 sits at an overwhelmingly positive rating, its combat is horrible. With the way people are getting at this game; The Witcher Franchise would have never gotten off the ground. The game is not perfect but this level of vitriol just makes no sense.
Twenty people made this game, I am impressed and I think it is worth the buy.
