I started playing 1, but haven’t finished it.

I don’t think it’s bad, more like it just hasn’t aged very well, especially the combat. Which is the same thing I disliked about 3 despite enjoying it overall - clunky combat in a post Dark Souls world just doesn’t cut it for me.

The game is alright, but I’m in no rush to go back and finish it. I hope that with 4 and the focus on Ciri they will work on improving the combat system some more.
