The combat isn't terrible. A little clumsy and inconsistent in its animation frames, control response, and hitboxes. But not terrible.
LOL. It's also not good. You forgot to mention how the feedback is poor as well. Feels like you're always impacting with a piece of wood.
For me, the combat feels kind of wonky and unresponsive sometimes, but it's certainly not 'bad'. it's still way better than witcher 1 and 2
I actually preferred both of the previous games to it. It might partially be because they were more narrative driven, and not just "huge map with random shit to do everywhere" which kind of dragged it out unnecessarily. I actually thought the combat in TW2 was somewhat good within the confines of the game world, but didn't feel the same about TW3. Or maybe I just expected them to actually update the combat, and not take two steps sideways and one backwards.
