>Witcher 1 has a decent story and world (in no small part due to the source material). But the gameplay itself is some of the worst that you experience.

The Witcher 1 combat is secretly not bad. It looks like an action game though and the game does a terrible job explaining why this is wrong. So it feels absolutely horrible. You have to understand it's more of a rhythm game. It's closer to Assassin's creed or Batman combat systems. There's a lot happening on screen but you are mostly waiting for the right moment and choosing tactics.
