    I know exactly what you mean. I started it 3 times before I got into it

    In my opinion, a lot of the gameplay is fairly generic. Attacking a wraith feels the same as attacking a human

    It really shines in the immersion and story, though. The first two times I played it, I was skipping all of the dialog and cutscenes (depression is a bitch), so I missed all the good parts

    Once you get into the mindset of “hunting” one of the monsters and selecting the right oils and potions, it can be really fun and feel almost like “strategy”. For example, there’s a potion that turns your blood poisonous to vampires

      Wait so you can let yourself be bitten in order to slay the vampire ? I played it in 2018 but never really did the oils and stuff

        Yeah! Although, it’s more of a preventative measure than a trap card. A lot of the oils are pretty boring, but some can be fun to use

        I ended up almost exclusively doing the Witcher missions since you usually learn what you’re going to fight
