Been playing this for a week now after I bought it on discount for the wintersale. Here's my review:

Pros:
- Very interesting story. I tend to get bored fast with most games but this is one of the few games that actually keeps me interested. Well done.
- Good graphics.
- Large world, lots of quests/possibilitites
- Cool combat features
- Gwent is nice
- Moddable
- Affordable, I bought the full pack for 20€, in hindsight I wouldn't have minded to pay even some more
- No major/blocking bugs so far

Cons:
- Non-intuitive: Interface has a hard learning curve
- Witcher 2 reference when starting a new game, some explanation would be nice. Throughout the game you get more of these situations where some explanation would also be useful
- Controls are sometimes not responsive
- Some minor bugs, e.g. randomly disabled controls which require reload
- Failed quests: Sometimes quests can fail even though there is no warning or whatsoever, for instance just by straying too far from a certain area. This is pretty annoying for those who'd like to complete all quests or just want to collect their reward but find themselves with empty hands because they didn't know that doing another quest first somehow blocks the other (e.g. following the thread at the end).

Overall:
I am not very happy with this non-intuitiveness where as mentioned the players are sometimes left clueless and they impact the story or fail quests without having been able to know. Other than that, this game is really amazing and is probably one of the best singleplayer RPG games I've ever played together with Skyrim.

8.5/10
